With humans increasingly serving as computational elements in distributed information processing systems and in consideration of the profit-driven motives and potential inequities that might accompany the emerging thinking economy[1], we recognize the need for establishing a set of related ethics to ensure the fair treatment and wellbeing of online cognitive laborers and the conscientious use of the capabilities to which they contribute. Toward this end, we first describe human-in-the-loop computing in context of the new concerns it raises that are not addressed by traditional ethical research standards. We then describe shortcomings in the traditional approach to ethical review and introduce a dynamic approach for sustaining an ethical framework that can continue to evolve within the rapidly shifting context of disruptive new technologies.

Images of elephants roaming the African plains are imprinted on all of our minds and something easily recognized as a symbol of Africa. But the future of elephants today is uncertain. An elephant is currently being killed by poachers every 15 minutes, and humans, who love watching them so much, have declared war on their species. Most people are not poachers, ivory collectors or intentionally harming wildlife, but silence or indifference to the battle at hand is as deadly. You can choose to read this article, feel bad for a moment and then move on to your next email and start your day.

Images of elephants roaming the African plains are imprinted on all of our minds and something easily recognized as a symbol of Africa. But the future of elephants today is uncertain. An elephant is currently being killed by poachers every 15 minutes, and humans, who love watching them so much, have declared war on their species. Most people are not poachers, ivory collectors or intentionally harming wildlife, but silence or indifference to the battle at hand is as deadly. You can choose to read this article, feel bad for a moment and then move on to your next email and start your day. Or, perhaps you will pause and think: Our opportunities to help save wildlife, especially elephants, are right in front of us and grow every day. And some of these opportunities are

IBM this week presented research investigating how AI and machine learning could be used to improve maternal health in developing countries and predict the onset and progression of Type 1 diabetes. In a study funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, IBM researchers built models to analyze demographic datasets from African countries, finding "data-supported" links between the number of years between pregnancies and the size of a woman's social network with birth outcomes. In a separate work, a team from IBM analyzed data across three decades and four countries to attempt to anticipate the onset of Type 1 diabetes anywhere from 3 to 12 months before it's typically diagnosed and then predict its progression. They claim one of the models accurately predicted progression 84% of the time. Despite a global decline in child mortality rates, many countries aren't on track to achieving proposed targets of ending preventable deaths among newborns and children under the age of 5. Unsurprisingly, the progress toward these targets remains uneven, reflected in disparities in access to healthcare services and inequitable resource allocation. Toward potential solutions, researchers at IBM attempted to identify features associated with neonatal mortality "as captured in nationally representative cross-sectional data."

It is not dfficult to point out the weaknesses of neural nets and deep learning. Simply put, neural nets are too weak to support general AI. They receive inputs (numbers), perform simple arithmetic operations and produce outputs (numbers). Consequently, they provide only primitive services such as object classifications. Although object classification has some interesting applications, the power of classification is in fact not much compared to all the complex services a human can provide. Complex services - making a coffee, withdrawing money from ATM, etc - are not well supported by neural nets.

The simplicity and expressiveness of a histogram render it a useful feature in different contexts including deep learning. Although the process of computing a histogram is non-differentiable, researchers have proposed differentiable approximations, which have some limitations. A differentiable histogram that directly approximates the hard-binning operation in conventional histograms is proposed. It combines the strength of existing differentiable histograms and overcomes their individual challenges. In comparison to a histogram computed using Numpy, the proposed histogram has an absolute approximation error of 0.000158.

Following decades of sustained improvement, metaheuristics are one of the great success stories of optimization research. However, in order for research in metaheuristics to avoid fragmentation and a lack of reproducibility, there is a pressing need for stronger scientific and computational infrastructure to support the development, analysis and comparison of new approaches. We argue that, via principled choice of infrastructure support, the field can pursue a higher level of scientific enquiry. We describe our vision and report on progress, showing how the adoption of common protocols for all metaheuristics can help liberate the potential of the field, easing the exploration of the design space of metaheuristics.
