Are Neural Networks About to Reinvent Physics? - Issue 78: Atmospheres

Nautilus

Can AI teach itself the laws of physics? Will classical computers soon be replaced by deep neural networks? Sure looks like it, if you've been following the news, which lately has been filled with headlines like, "A neural net solves the three-body problem 100 million times faster: Machine learning provides an entirely new way to tackle one of the classic problems of applied mathematics," and "Who needs Copernicus if you have machine learning?". The latter was described by another journalist, in an article called "AI Teaches Itself Laws of Physics," as a "monumental moment in both AI and physics," which "could be critical in solving quantum mechanics problems." The trouble is, the authors have given no compelling reason to think that they could actually do this.

A deep dive into BERT: How BERT launched a rocket into natural language understanding - Search Engine Land

#artificialintelligence

Editor's Note: This deep dive companion to our high-level FAQ piece is a 30-minute read so get comfortable! You'll learn the backstory and nuances of BERT's evolution, how the algorithm works to improve human language understanding for machines and what it means for SEO and the work we do every day. If you have been keeping an eye on Twitter SEO over the past week you'll have likely noticed an uptick in the number of gifs and images featuring the character Bert (and sometimes Ernie) from Sesame Street. This is because, last week Google announced an imminent algorithmic update would be rolling out, impacting 10% of queries in search results, and also affect featured snippet results in countries where they were present; which is not trivial. The update is named Google BERT (Hence the Sesame Street connection โ€“ and the gifs). Google describes BERT as the largest change to its search system since the company introduced RankBrain, almost five years ago, and probably one of the largest changes in search ever. The news of BERT's arrival and its impending impact has caused a stir in the SEO community, along with some confusion as to what BERT does, and what it means for the industry overall. With this in mind, let's take a look at what BERT is, BERT's background, the need for BERT and the challenges it aims to resolve, the current situation (i.e. The BERT backstory How search engines learn language Problems with language learning methods How BERT improves search engine language understanding What does BERT mean for SEO? BERT is a technologically ground-breaking natural language processing model/framework which has taken the machine learning world by storm since its release as an academic research paper. The research paper is entitled BERT: Pre-training of Deep Bidirectional Transformers for Language Understanding (Devlin et al, 2018). Following paper publication Google AI Research team announced BERT as an open source contribution. A year later, Google announced a Google BERT algorithmic update rolling out in production search. Google linked the BERT algorithmic update to the BERT research paper, emphasizing BERT's importance for contextual language understanding in content and queries, and therefore intent, particularly for conversational search. BERT is described as a pre-trained deep learning natural language framework that has given state-of-the-art results on a wide variety of natural language processing tasks. Whilst in the research stages, and prior to being added to production search systems, BERT achieved state-of-the-art results on 11 different natural language processing tasks. These natural language processing tasks include, amongst others, sentiment analysis, named entity determination, textual entailment (aka next sentence prediction), semantic role labeling, text classification and coreference resolution. BERT also helps with the disambiguation of words with multiple meanings known as polysemous words, in context.

Ours is a technologically advanced world. We are living in an age where rapid signs of progress in technology are taking the world by storm. One of such many new inventions is what we are going to talk about here. The artificial intelligence (AI) has been in use now in different forms and in different locations. However, scholars in China appear to have invented a new creative way of using AI.


Building Ethical AI for Talent Management

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence has disrupted every area of our lives -- from the curated shopping experiences we've come to expect from companies like Amazon and Alibaba to the personalized recommendations that channels like YouTube and Netflix use to market their latest content. But, when it comes to the workplace, in many ways, AI is still in its infancy. This is particularly true when we consider the ways it is beginning to change talent management. To use a familiar analogy: AI at work is in the dial-up mode. The 5G WiFi phase has yet to arrive, but we have no doubt that it will.


Can the federal government be sure its AI isn't biased?

#artificialintelligence

For example, OSTP pointed to the Department of Homeland Security's work, writing that to "keep ahead of the curve and ensure that use of AI does not unfairly or illegally disadvantage individuals" it is "applying and extending" its existing tools and frameworks, but offering no real insight into how those frameworks were applied, considered successful, or enhancing research. It also wrote that DHS' Science and Technology Directorate had "identified bias and fairness in AI systems as priority issues," without elaborating on how specifically that's guided research and development.


7 Companies Using Artificial Intelligence to Outperform the Market

#artificialintelligence

Over the next 12 months, almost 80% of companies who employ a chief information officer expect to increase their use of artificial intelligence and machine learning to further their corporate goals. According to Fortune, it surveyed more than 200 CIOs, and none expected to scale back their use of artificial intelligence. "As a whole there are massive opportunities to adopt new [A.I.] technologies," Ronell Hugh, the product marketing lead for Adobe's (NASDAQ:ADBE) Experience Platform, told Fortune. "Cloud infrastructure was a first step, now there is a lot of innovation in AI and how to use data in real-time for your business." Companies, big and small, are using AI to provide an advantage over their competition.


Facebook Dating will let you share everyday moments with short-lived Stories

#artificialintelligence

Facebook Dating will let you add Stories from your Facebook and Instagram accounts. Facebook's online dating service will let you add ephemeral photos and videos from the social network and Instagram, a feature that could help set the company's service apart from Tinder, Hinge and other competitors. The introduction of short-lived content into its dating service illustrates how Facebook continues to bet on online dating, an already crowded market, even as it faces privacy concerns. Facebook Dating, a feature in the main social network, is currently available in 20 countries including the US, Mexico, Thailand, Vietnam and Canada. When Facebook introduced its dating service, some users told CNET they thought the feature was too similar to other dating apps.


AI in Five, Fifty and Five Hundred Years -- Part Three -- Five Hundred Years

#artificialintelligence

Always in motion is the future." We've spread out towards the stars and colonized the solar system, from settlements orbiting the glittering rings of Saturn, to sprawling cities on the red hills of Mars built by nano insects invisible to the eyes. When their big bellies are filled to bursting, they rocket along invisible superhighways, delivering He3 to energy hungry fusion micro-reactors that power the interplanetary economy. Beyond the rings, deep space mining ships release clouds of drones like baby spiders into the wind and they digest asteroids hurtling in the endless void. The drones fuel an unprecedented building boom on nearly every planet circling the sun, as city after city goes up on barren rocks long hostile to organic life. The fastest transformations are taking place on Mars. The people who immigrated to Mars generations ago don't need oxygen at all.
