In May, as part of an otherwise unremarkable corporate strategy meeting, Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida made an interesting announcement. The company's artificial intelligence research division, Sony AI, would be collaborating with PlayStation developers to create intelligent computer-controlled characters. "By leveraging reinforcement learning," he wrote, "we are developing game AI agents that can be a player's in-game opponent or collaboration partner." Reinforcement learning is an area of machine learning in which an AI effectively teaches itself how to act through trial and error. In short, these characters will mimic human players.

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been dominating classification tasks in various domains, such as machine vision, machine listening, and natural language processing. In machine listening, while generally exhibiting very good generalization capabilities, CNNs are sensitive to the specific audio recording device used, which has been recognized as a substantial problem in the acoustic scene classification (DCASE) community. In this study, we investigate the relationship between over-parameterization of acoustic scene classification models, and their resulting generalization abilities. Specifically, we test scaling CNNs in width and depth, under different conditions. Our results indicate that increasing width improves generalization to unseen devices, even without an increase in the number of parameters.

Previous work on policy learning for Malaria control has often formulated the problem as an optimization problem assuming the objective function and the search space have a specific structure. The problem has been formulated as multi-armed bandits, contextual bandits and a Markov Decision Process in isolation. Furthermore, an emphasis is put on developing new algorithms specific to an instance of Malaria control, while ignoring a plethora of simpler and general algorithms in the literature. In this work, we formally study the formulation of Malaria control and present a comprehensive analysis of several formulations used in the literature. In addition, we implement and analyze several reinforcement learning algorithms in all formulations and compare them to black box optimization. In contrast to previous work, our results show that simple algorithms based on Upper Confidence Bounds are sufficient for learning good Malaria policies, and tend to outperform their more advanced counterparts on the malaria OpenAI Gym environment.

The impact of Artificial Intelligence continues to be felt across industries. A McKinsey report after analysing some AI use cases stated that'the impact of artificial intelligence will most likely be substantial in marketing and sales as well as supply-chain management and manufacturing'. The same report argues that AI has the potential to create trillions of dollars of value across the economy if business leaders work to understand what it can and cannot do. Looking at this critically, one would wonder how Africa's manufacturing industries would be able to compete with other continents that are massively adding AI-powered tools and solutions to their production lines? China, for example, has more or less made artificial intelligence a major priority, investing heavily so as to ensure the country stays ahead.

For the last two decades, I've resided in various European countries. A common observation in all those countries is the disparity between the number of elderly people and children. In fact, only less than one-third of Europe's population is under the age of 30. However, in Pakistan, this situation is quite the opposite; around 64% of the Pakistani population is under the age of 30, and, according to the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), this situation will continue to increase until at least 2050. Thus, Pakistan is potentially sitting on a gold mine: its vibrant and dynamic youth.

Peace activists are zeroing-in on very troubling – and downright scary – developments in high-tech weaponry: artificial intelligence and autonomous weaponized drones. The issue of autonomous weaponized drones, programmed to kill without a human finger pulling the trigger, is getting much more attention in the wake of revelations coming out of Libya. "The world's first recorded case of an autonomous drone attacking humans took place in March 2020, according to a United Nations (UN) security report detailing the ongoing Second Libyan Civil War. Libyan forces used the Turkish-made drones to "hunt down" and jam retreating enemy forces, preventing them from using their own drones." The lethal autonomous weapons systems were programmed to attack targets without requiring data connectivity between the operator and the munition: in effect, a true "fire, forget and find" capability, according to an official report.

So far, most research on recommender systems focused on maintaining long-term user engagement and satisfaction, by promoting relevant and personalized content. However, it is still very challenging to evaluate the quality and the reliability of this content. In this paper, we propose FEBR (Expert-Based Recommendation Framework), an apprenticeship learning framework to assess the quality of the recommended content on online platforms. The framework exploits the demonstrated trajectories of an expert (assumed to be reliable) in a recommendation evaluation environment, to recover an unknown utility function. This function is used to learn an optimal policy describing the expert's behavior, which is then used in the framework to provide high-quality and personalized recommendations. We evaluate the performance of our solution through a user interest simulation environment (using RecSim). We simulate interactions under the aforementioned expert policy for videos recommendation, and compare its efficiency with standard recommendation methods. The results show that our approach provides a significant gain in terms of content quality, evaluated by experts and watched by users, while maintaining almost the same watch time as the baseline approaches.

Here is a brief, not-nearly-complete list of Warner Bros. characters that appear in the movie Space Jam: A New Legacy: Harry Potter, Harley Quinn, Rick & Morty, Yogi Bear, Fred Flintstone, Space Ghost, the Matrix, Superman, Batman, King Kong, the Pink Panther, Pennywise the killer clown, the droogs from A Clockwork Orange, the Night King from Game of Thrones, and Rosey, the robot maid from The Jetsons. The complete roster runs to well over 100 entries, but this sampling should be enough to give you the flavor of what a random grab-bag of intellectual properties the movie presents. If the first Space Jam, released 25 years ago, was a brand summit between the Looney Tunes and the NBA, with Michael Jordan acting as the chief negotiator, its supercharged successor both literally and figuratively opens the vaults, zapping LeBron James into the "Warner 3000 Serververse," where all of the media conglomerate's holdings exist on the same plane. A New Legacy's villain and chief instigator is Don Cheadle's Al G. Rhythm, a Warner Bros. algorithm determined to get public recognition for his overlooked accomplishments. But what's noteworthy about the movie's garbage-dump of WB properties is just how arbitrary and non-algorithmic it feels. There's no apparent logic to what's included and what's left out, who makes the cut and who gets left to molder in some forgotten corner of the digital domain.
