A Viral Game About Paperclips Teaches You to Be a World-Killing AI

WIRED

The idea of a paperclip-making AI didn't originate with Lantz. Most people ascribe it to Nick Bostrom, a philosopher at Oxford University and the author of the book Superintelligence. The New Yorker (owned by Condรฉ Nast, which also owns Wired) called Bostrom "the philosopher of doomsday," because he writes and thinks deeply about what would happen if a computer got really, really smart. Not, like, "wow, Alexa can understand me when I ask it to play NPR" smart, but like really smart. In 2003, Bostrom wrote that the idea of a superintelligent AI serving humanity or a single person was perfectly reasonable.


10 Really Hard Decisions Coming Our Way

#artificialintelligence

Things are about to get interesting. You've likely heard that Google's DeepMind recently beat the world's best Go player. But in far more practical and pervasive ways, artificial intelligence (AI) is creeping into every aspect of life--every screen you view, every search, every purchase, and every customer service contact. It's the confluence of several technologies--Moore's law made storage, computing, and access devices almost free. This Venn diagram illustrates how deep learning is a subset of AI and how, when combined with big data, can inform enabling technologies in many sectors.


Artificial intelligence in insurance: Where does Europe stand?

#artificialintelligence

Where does the European insurance industry stand in terms of advanced analytics, AI and automation? Do we see that traditional methods of data analysis are now being labeled by the term "machine learning"? Maybe the industry is more advanced than that: Are real chatbots, for example, already ubiquitous? Let's have a closer look. I had the opportunity to visit the "Insurance AI and Analytics Europe" conference in London.


AI developers must remain versatile while specialisation increases Access AI

@machinelearnbot

What skill sets do you need to work with a world class team of artificial intelligence (AI) developers? We spoke to Misha Bilenko, the head of Yandex's machine intelligence and research (MIR) group, who told us about the trends that he's observed: "It's definitely diverse, even in terms of skill sets, but as the field is exploding you inevitably get more specialisation. Depending on the specific problem, you will need specific skills. "Some people will have the specific skills required to work only on a speech recognition system, or a recommender system, or an image classification system, and then somebody who is just trying to analyse log data will have other specific skills, as will someone doing sales prediction for a company. The developer who provides you with that top 10 list is not solving AI in the glamorous, highly technical sense of the word, but what they're building is doing an amazing amount of things "Even though we could generalise all these roles as being in the AI sub-industry, the skill set may be dramatically different between these specialities, and the differences are becoming more pronounced. "To give an example, one thing that recently has emerged is a clear distinction between data scientists and engineers, where previously the lines were somewhat more blurred.

Huawei (pronounced "Wah-way") is the world's largest telecommunications company. A member of the Fortune Global 100, it is also the world's third-largest seller of smartphones. Just one day after its launch of the world's first Artificial Intelligence embedded smartphone, the Mate 10, in Munich, Germany, Huawei hosted the Ultra Broadband Forum in Hangzhou, China. It attracted attendees from over sixty-five countries. I was invited to the conference as a key opinion leader and Huawei partner.


A Learning-to-Infer Method for Real-Time Power Grid Topology Identification

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Identifying arbitrary topologies of power networks in real time is a computationally hard problem due to the number of hypotheses that grows exponentially with the network size. A new "Learning-to-Infer" variational inference method is developed for efficient inference of every line status in the network. Optimizing the variational model is transformed to and solved as a discriminative learning problem based on Monte Carlo samples generated with power flow simulations. A major advantage of the developed Learning-to-Infer method is that the labeled data used for training can be generated in an arbitrarily large amount fast and at very little cost. As a result, the power of offline training is fully exploited to learn very complex classifiers for effective real-time topology identification. The proposed methods are evaluated in the IEEE 30, 118 and 300 bus systems. Excellent performance in identifying arbitrary power network topologies in real time is achieved even with relatively simple variational models and a reasonably small amount of data.


Optimal Rates for Multi-pass Stochastic Gradient Methods

arXiv.org Machine Learning

We analyze the learning properties of the stochastic gradient method when multiple passes over the data and mini-batches are allowed. We study how regularization properties are controlled by the step-size, the number of passes and the mini-batch size. In particular, we consider the square loss and show that for a universal step-size choice, the number of passes acts as a regularization parameter, and optimal finite sample bounds can be achieved by early-stopping. Moreover, we show that larger step-sizes are allowed when considering mini-batches. Our analysis is based on a unifying approach, encompassing both batch and stochastic gradient methods as special cases. As a byproduct, we derive optimal convergence results for batch gradient methods (even in the non-attainable cases).


Adaptive Matching for Expert Systems with Uncertain Task Types

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Upwork) critically rely on the ability to propose adequate matches based on imperfect knowledge of the two parties to be matched. This prompts the following question: Which matching recommendation algorithms can, in the presence of such uncertainty, lead to efficient platform operation? To answer this question, we develop a model of a task / server matching system. For this model, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for an incoming stream of tasks to be manageable by the system. We further identify a so-called back-pressure policy under which the throughput that the system can handle is optimized. We show that this policy achieves strictly larger throughput than a natural greedy policy. Finally, we validate our model and confirm our theoretical findings with experiments based on logs of Math.StackExchange, a StackOverflow forum dedicated to mathematics.


Frankenstein in the Age of CRISPR-Cas9 - Facts So Romantic

Nautilus

The so-called "year without a summer," 1816, was bleak, if not strangely gothic. Mount Tambora in Indonesia had erupted the year before, pitching volcanic ash into the atmosphere and obscuring the sun. Torrential rains pressed deep into the year, resulting in global crop failures. The birds quieted down by midday, as darkness descended, and for days at a time, a group of writers huddled by candlelight in a rented mansion on Lake Geneva. The dashing 23-year-old poet Percy Shelley and his 18-year-old companion, Mary, who had already taken to calling herself "Mrs. Shelley," traveled to the lake to spend the summer with the poet Lord Byron.
