Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Mark of the Beast!
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and quantum computing now allow for a new world order that could give literal fulfillment to the Mark of the Beast prophecy in Revelation 13. There are many Artificial Intelligence YouTube videos showing the dangers artificial intelligence gone wrong, but scientists and governments continue on their march towards the artificial intelligence singularity which could give rise to a direct fulfillment of the "image of the Beast" prophecy described in Revelation 13 which will implement the Mark of the Beast and persecute those who oppose it.

Discrete and Continuous Deep Residual Learning Over Graphs
Avelar, Pedro H. C., Tavares, Anderson R., Gori, Marco, Lamb, Luis C.
Pedro H.C. Avelar Anderson R. Tavares Marco Gori โ Luis C. Lamb Abstract In this paper we propose the use of continuous residual modules for graph kernels in Graph Neural Networks. We show how both discrete and continuous residual layers allow for more robust training, being that continuous residual layers are those which are applied by integrating through an Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) solver to produce their output. We experimentally show that these residuals achieve better results than the ones with non-residual modules when multiple layers are used, mitigating the low-pass filtering effect of GCN-based models. Finally, we apply and analyse the behaviour of these techniques and give pointers to how this technique can be useful in other domains by allowing more predictable behaviour under dynamic times of computation. 1 Introduction Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are a promising framework to combine deep learning models and symbolic reasoning. Whereas conventional deep learning models, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), effectively handle data represented in euclidean space, such as images, GNNs generalise their capabilities to handle non-Euclidean data, such as relational data with complex relationships and interdependencies between entities. Recently, deep learning techniques such as pooling, dynamic times of computation, attention, and adversarial training, which advanced the state-of-the-art in conventional deep learning (e.g. in CNNs), have been investigated in GNNs as well [1, 15, 26, 30]. Discrete residual modules, whose learned kernels are discrete derivatives over their inputs, have been proven effective to improve convergence and reduce the parameter space on CNNs, surpassing the state-of-the-art in image classification and other applications [11]. Given their effectiveness, the technique has been applied in many different areas and meta-models of deep learning to improve convergence and reduce the parameter space.
A discriminative condition-aware backend for speaker verification
Ferrer, Luciana, McLaren, Mitchell
We present a scoring approach for speaker verification that mimics the standard PLDA-based backend process used in most current speaker verification systems. However, unlike the standard backends, all parameters of the model are jointly trained to optimize the binary cross-entropy for the speaker verification task. We further integrate the calibration stage inside the model, making the parameters of this stage depend on metadata vectors that represent the conditions of the signals. We show that the proposed backend has excellent out-of-the-box calibration performance on most of our test sets, making it an ideal approach for cases in which the test conditions are not known and development data is not available for training a domain-specific calibration model.
Text2FaceGAN: Face Generation from Fine Grained Textual Descriptions
Nasir, Osaid Rehman, Jha, Shailesh Kumar, Grover, Manraj Singh, Yu, Yi, Kumar, Ajit, Shah, Rajiv Ratn
--Powerful generative adversarial networks (GAN) have been developed to automatically synthesize realistic images from text. However, most existing tasks are limited to generating simple images such as flowers from captions. In this work, we extend this problem to the less addressed domain of face generation from fine-grained textual descriptions of face, e.g., "A person has curly hair, oval face, and mustache" . We are motivated by the potential of automated face generation to impact and assist critical tasks such as criminal face reconstruction. Since current datasets for the task are either very small or do not contain captions, we generate captions for images in the CelebA dataset by creating an algorithm to automatically convert a list of attributes to a set of captions. We then model the highly multi-modal problem of text to face generation as learning the conditional distribution of faces (conditioned on text) in same latent space. We utilize the current state-of-the-art GAN (DC-GAN with GAN-CLS loss) for learning conditional multi-modality. The presence of more fine-grained details and variable length of the captions makes the problem easier for a user but more difficult to handle compared to the other text-to-image tasks. We flipped the labels for real and fake images and added noise in discriminator . Generated images for diverse textual descriptions show promising results. In the end, we show how the widely used inceptions score is not a good metric to evaluate the performance of generative models used for synthesizing faces from text. I NTRODUCTION Photographic text-to-face synthesis is a mainstream problem with potential applications in image editing, video games, or for accessibility.
Let's train humans first...before we train machines P2P Foundation
In reality, there is nothing artificial about these algorithms or their intelligence, and the term "AI" is a mystification! The term that describes the reality is "Human-Trained Machine Learning", in today's mad scramble to train these algorithms to mimic human intelligence and brain functioning. In the techie magazine WIRED, October 2018, we meet a pioneering computer scientist, Fei-Fei LI, testifying at a Congressional hearing, who underlines this truth. She said, "Humans train these algorithms" and she talked about the horrendous mistakes these machines make in mis-identifying people, using the term "bias in--bias out" updating the old computer saying, "garbage in--garbage out". Professor LI described how we are ceding our authority to these algorithms to judge who gets hired, who goes to jail, who gets a loan, a mortgage or good insurance rates -- and how these machines code our behavior, change our rules and our lives.
Facebook built a facial recognition app that could 'identify any member of the social network'
Facebook is under fire for privacy concerns once again, as the social media giant tested a facial recognition app on its employees. Using real-time facial recognition, the firm was able to identify a person by pointing a smartphone camera at them. It was reported that the app has been discontinued, but the technology was capable of bringing up someone's Facebook profile who had enabled facial recognition on their profiles. Facebook did confirm that it developed the app, but denied it was capable of identifying members of its social media network and pulling up their profile. Facebook is under fire for privacy concerns once again, as the social media giant revealed it tested a facial recognition app on its employees.

Global AI Survey: AI proves its worth, but few scale impact
Adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to increase, and the technology is generating returns. 1 1. We define artificial intelligence (AI) as the ability of a machine to perform cognitive functions that we associate with human minds (such as perceiving, reasoning, learning, and problem solving) and to perform physical tasks using cognitive functions (for example, physical robotics, autonomous driving, and manufacturing work). The findings of the latest McKinsey Global Survey on the subject show a nearly 25 percent year-over-year increase in the use of AI 2 2. We define AI use in standard business processes as embedded AI in at least one product or business process for at least one function or business unit. The online survey was in the field from March 26 to April 5, 2019, and garnered responses from 2,360 participants representing the full range of regions, industries, company sizes, functional specialties, and tenures. Of these respondents, 1,872 work at companies they say have piloted AI in at least one function or business unit, embedded at least one AI capability in at least one product or business process for at least one function or business unit, or embedded at least one AI capability in products or business processes across multiple functions or business units.
