This sci-fi blockchain game could help create a metaverse that no one owns

MIT Technology Review

But while the video game seemingly looks and plays much like other online strategy games, under the hood it's a very different story. That's because it doesn't rely on the servers running popular online strategy games like Eve Online and World of Warcraft. Instead, Dark Forest runs completely on a blockchain, in a way that means no one is in control of how it plays out. Its early success doesn't just reflect a fun way of making games that work in an entirely different way. It also helps prove that blockchains can be used for far more interesting and complex applications than just moving digital money around, something some blockchain boosters have been saying since the technology first emerged.


Why exploratory data analysis is important

#artificialintelligence

The flexibility to present and process insurance data in a manner that is easy to work with is of vital importance. The best machine learning models are built from clean, high-quality data that has been effectively and skilfully processed. Quite often, Bowden said, this task requires the heaviest lifting and has led to a running joke that most data scientists spend 80% of their time cleaning data and only 20% calibrating models. Although the core of EDA involves summary statistics, Bowden stressed that there is often more to it. Understanding the data types is often the first step and identifying which fields will be numerical and which are categorical is the crucial next step.


AI Use Potentially Dangerous "Shortcuts" To Solve Complex Recognition Tasks

The researchers revealed that deep convolutional neural networks were insensitive to configural object properties. Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) do not view things in the same way that humans do (through configural shape perception), which might be harmful in real-world AI applications, according to Professor James Elder, co-author of a York University study recently published in the journal iScience. The study, which conducted by Elder, who holds the York Research Chair in Human and Computer Vision and is Co-Director of York's Centre for AI & Society, and Nicholas Baker, an assistant psychology professor at Loyola College in Chicago and a former VISTA postdoctoral fellow at York, finds that deep learning models fail to capture the configural nature of human shape perception. In order to investigate how the human brain and DCNNs perceive holistic, configural object properties, the research used novel visual stimuli known as "Frankensteins." "Frankensteins are simply objects that have been taken apart and put back together the wrong way around," says Elder. "As a result, they have all the right local features, but in the wrong places."


Why data remains the greatest challenge for machine learning projects

#artificialintelligence

Join us on November 9 to learn how to successfully innovate and achieve efficiency by upskilling and scaling citizen developers at the Low-Code/No-Code Summit. Quality data is at the heart of the success of enterprise artificial intelligence (AI). And accordingly, it remains the main source of challenges for companies that want to apply machine learning (ML) in their applications and operations. The industry has made impressive advances in helping enterprises overcome the barriers to sourcing and preparing their data, according to Appen's latest State of AI Report. But there is still a lot more to be done at different levels, including organization structure and company policies. The enterprise AI life cycle can be divided into four stages: Data sourcing, data preparation, model testing and deployment, and model evaluation.


Predicting properties of complex metamaterials

Two combinatorial mechanical metamaterials designed in such a way that the letters M and L bulge out in the front when being squeezed between two plates (top and bottom). Designing novel metamaterials such as this can be aided by machine learning. Given a 3D piece of origami, can you flatten it without damaging it? Just by looking at the design, the answer is hard to predict, because each and every fold in the design has to be compatible with flattening. This is an example of a combinatorial problem.


MLsec could be the answer to adversarial AI and machine learning attacks

#artificialintelligence

Join us on November 9 to learn how to successfully innovate and achieve efficiency by upskilling and scaling citizen developers at the Low-Code/No-Code Summit. With research showing that private investment in artificial intelligence (AI) reached roughly $93.5 billion in 2021, it's no secret that many organizations are implementing AI and machine learning (ML) to improve their businesses, but it's easy to overlook the security risks created by AI adoption. Every AI and ML model that an organization uses can be a potential target for cyberattacks. The good news is that a growing number of providers are recognizing these models as part of the modern enterprise attack surface. One such provider is HiddenLayer, which today announced the launch of the HiddenLayer MLsec Platform designed to detect adversarial ML attacks. The announcement comes hot on the heels of raising $6 million in seed funding earlier this year.


Artificial intelligence may help predict cardiotoxicity in renal cell carcinoma

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence models can help predict cardiotoxicity risk among patients with renal cell carcinoma treated with VEGF receptor inhibitors, according to study results. Integration of artificial intelligence (AI) models into electronic medical records can help oncologists and other members of the clinical care team identify those who may benefit from cardio-oncology monitoring and treatment, findings presented at International Kidney Cancer Symposium: North America showed. "Further studies comparing differences in outcomes between high-risk ... patients who were referred to cardio-oncology versus patients who were not referred are warranted," Hesham Yasin, MD, clinical fellow at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and colleagues wrote. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors that target VEGF receptors are standard components of renal cell carcinoma treatment. These agents generally are effective and safe, but they can cause cardiotoxicity risk for an estimated 3% to 8% of patients, according to study background.


Floppy or not: AI predicts properties of complex metamaterials

#artificialintelligence

Given a 3D piece of origami, can you flatten it without damaging it? Just by looking at the design, the answer is hard to predict, because each and every fold in the design has to be compatible with flattening. This is an example of a combinatorial problem. New research led by the UvA Institute of Physics and research institute AMOLF has demonstrated that machine learning algorithms can accurately and efficiently answer these kinds of questions. This is expected to give a boost to the artificial intelligence-assisted design of complex and functional (meta)materials.


UF supports the ethical use of artificial intelligence

#artificialintelligence

The University of Florida, a proponent for ethics in artificial intelligence, is part of a new global agreement with seven other worldwide universities that are committed to the development of human-centered approaches to artificial intelligence (AI) that will impact people everywhere. During the Global University Summit at Notre Dame University, Joseph Glover, UF provost and senior vice president of academic affairs, signed The Rome Call for AI Ethics on October 27 on behalf of the University of Florida and served as a panelist for the two-day summit attended by 36 universities invited from around the world. The event was held in Notre Dame, IN. The signing indicates a commitment to the principles of the Rome Call for AI Ethics: to ensure artificial intelligence serves the interests of humanity and to support regulations and principles to deliver emerging technologies that are ethically centered. UF joins a network of universities that will share best practices, tools, and educational content, as well as meet regularly to share updates and discuss innovative ideas.


Nvidia takes on Meta and Google in the speech AI technology race

#artificialintelligence

Join us on November 9 to learn how to successfully innovate and achieve efficiency by upskilling and scaling citizen developers at the Low-Code/No-Code Summit. At Nvidia's Speech AI Summit today, the company discussed its new speech artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem, which it developed through a partnership with Mozilla Common Voice. The ecosystem focuses on developing crowdsourced multilingual speech corpuses and open-source pretrained models. Nvidia and Mozilla Common Voice aim to accelerate the growth of automatic speech recognition models that work universally for every language speaker worldwide. Nvidia found that standard voice assistants, such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home, support fewer than 1% of the world's spoken languages.
