In the back room of an old and graying building in the northernmost region of New Zealand, one of the most advanced computers for artificial intelligence is helping to redefine the technology's future. Te Hiku Media, a nonprofit Māori radio station run by life partners Peter-Lucas Jones and Keoni Mahelona, bought the machine at a 50% discount to train its own algorithms for natural-language processing. Mahelona, a native Hawaiian who settled in New Zealand after falling in love with the country, chuckles at the irony of the situation. "The computer is just sitting on a rack in Kaitaia, of all places--a derelict rural town with high poverty and a large Indigenous population. I guess we're a bit under the radar," he says. As a nonprofit journalism organization, we depend on your support to fund coverage of Indigenous issues and communities.

But in June 1945, just weeks after Germany had surrendered, Turing was hired by the UK's National Physical Laboratory to lead the development of an electronic version of his universal computing machine. I have spent a considerable time in this lecture on this question of memory, because I believe that the provision of proper storage is the key to the problem of the digital computer, and certainly if they are to be persuaded to show any sort of genuine intelligence. The philosopher Jack Copeland, director of the Turing Archive for the History of Computing in New Zealand, has described this paper as the first manifesto of AI, and that seems accurate as far as our present historical knowledge goes. For example, there survive minutes from an October 1949 philosophy seminar discussion between Turing, Newman, the neurosurgeon Geoffrey Jefferson and Michael Polanyi, who was then professor of social science at Manchester, on'the mind and the computing machine'. The first is a brief lecture entitled'Intelligent Machinery, A Heretical Theory', probably first broadcast in 1951, in which his stated objective is to question the commonly held belief'You cannot make a machine to think for you' by explaining, and reflecting on, the technique of reinforcement learning.

This work gives introduction to traffic control by connected automated vehicles. The influence of vehicle control on vehicular traffic and traffic control strategies are discussed and compared. It is highlighted that vehicle-to-everything connectivity allows connected automated vehicles to access the state of the traffic behind them such that feedback can be utilized to mitigate evolving congestions. Numerical simulations demonstrate that such connectivity-based traffic control is beneficial for smoothness and energy efficiency of highway traffic. The dynamics and stability of traffic flow, under the proposed controllers, are analyzed in detail to construct stability charts that guide the selection of stabilizing control gains.

Turing never returned to the National Physical Laboratory after his research leave. Instead, in May 1948, he joined his friend Newman's Computing Machine Laboratory at the University of Manchester, where shortly afterwards the world's first electronic stored-program general-purpose digital computer, the Small-Scale Experimental Machine (commonly known as the Manchester Baby), ran its first program. Turing spent most of the remaining six years of his life continuing his research on AI. After completing the programming system of the expanded Manchester Mark I machine and the subsequent Ferranti Mark I, the world's first commercially available modern computer (manufactured by Ferranti Ltd), in early 1951 Turing began experimenting on the Ferranti. The early results of his computational modelling of biological growth were published in the paper'The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis' (1952), which represented an important early contribution to research on artificial life.

For sequential data, a change point is a moment of abrupt regime switch in data streams. Such changes appear in different scenarios, including simpler data from sensors and more challenging video surveillance data. We need to detect disorders as fast as possible. Classic approaches for change point detection (CPD) might underperform for semi-structured sequential data because they cannot process its structure without a proper representation. We propose a principled loss function that balances change detection delay and time to a false alarm. It approximates classic rigorous solutions but is differentiable and allows representation learning for deep models. We consider synthetic sequences, real-world data sensors and videos with change points. We carefully labelled available data with change point moments for video data and released it for the first time. Experiments suggest that complex data require meaningful representations tailored for the specificity of the CPD task -- and our approach provides them outperforming considered baselines. For example, for explosion detection in video, the F1 score for our method is $0.53$ compared to baseline scores of $0.31$ and $0.35$.

EOS partners with QUANERGY to distribute false alarm-reducing LiDAR technology for security applications in the ANZ market. Quanergy Systems is a provider of LiDAR sensors and Smart 3D Computer Perception Software – the brains of Quanergy's 3D AI-powered LiDAR FlowManagement platform, aimed at increasing efficiency in response to security breaches and reducing costly false alarms. "Quanergy's LiDAR is the pinnacle technology for perimeter intrusion detection," said EOS MD, Patrick Cha. "Quanergy's platform is designed to increase efficiency in response to security breaches and drastically reduce costly false alarms. "We are proud to be a partner of Quanergy and we look forward to distributing the LiDAR sensor and 3D perception software to the ANZ market to further enhance electronic security systems for perimeter and smart city projects."

The remarkable progress in Natural Language Processing (NLP) brought about by deep learning, particularly with the recent advent of large pre-trained neural language models, is brought into scrutiny as several studies began to discuss and report potential biases in NLP applications. Bias in NLP is found to originate from latent historical biases encoded by humans into textual data which gets perpetuated or even amplified by NLP algorithm. We present a survey to comprehend bias in large pre-trained language models, analyze the stages at which they occur in these models, and various ways in which these biases could be quantified and mitigated. Considering wide applicability of textual affective computing based downstream tasks in real-world systems such as business, healthcare, education, etc., we give a special emphasis on investigating bias in the context of affect (emotion) i.e., Affective Bias, in large pre-trained language models. We present a summary of various bias evaluation corpora that help to aid future research and discuss challenges in the research on bias in pre-trained language models. We believe that our attempt to draw a comprehensive view of bias in pre-trained language models, and especially the exploration of affective bias will be highly beneficial to researchers interested in this evolving field.
