In August 2020, I wrote about the stunning storytelling prowess of another LLM, GPT3 (bit.ly/3RbHfbB). The Generative Pre-trained Transformer Version 3, I wrote, was being heralded as the first step towards the holy grail of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), where a machine has the capacity to understand or learn any intellectual task that a human being can. GPT has been trained on a massive body of text, mined for statistical regularities or parameters or connections between different nodes in its neural network. The scale is gargantuan, with 175 billion parameters; all of Wikipedia comprises just 0.6% of its training data! GPT-3 was developed by OpenAI too, and with DALL-E, it took this to another level.

Recently, Nvidia released a new report called the State of AI in Financial Services. To learn more, I caught up with Pahal Patangia, Global Developer Relations Lead for Consumer Fintech at Nvidia. Below is the transcript of our conversation (slightly edited for clarity). Theodora: Now, I know oftentimes when we think about Nvidia, we think about graphics cards. Nvidia is also a full stack, accelerated computing platform company that has been in the financial services space for 15 years.

When using medical images for diagnosis, either by clinicians or artificial intelligence (AI) systems, it is important that the images are of high quality. When an image is of low quality, the medical exam that produced the image often needs to be redone. In telemedicine, a common problem is that the quality issue is only flagged once the patient has left the clinic, meaning they must return in order to have the exam redone. This can be especially difficult for people living in remote regions, who make up a substantial portion of the patients at Portal Telemedicina, a digital healthcare organization based in Brazil. In this paper, we report on ongoing work regarding (i) the development of an AI system for flagging and explaining low-quality medical images in real-time, (ii) an interview study to understand the explanation needs of stakeholders using the AI system at OurCompany, and, (iii) a longitudinal user study design to examine the effect of including explanations on the workflow of the technicians in our clinics. To the best of our knowledge, this would be the first longitudinal study on evaluating the effects of XAI methods on end-users -- stakeholders that use AI systems but do not have AI-specific expertise. We welcome feedback and suggestions on our experimental setup.

Scientists at CERN are slamming protons together at an unprecedented energy level in order to unlock our world's most enduring mysteries - including dark matter, which we know little about despite it accounting for 26.8 percent of all mass and energy. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which restarted for its third run after undergoing extensive upgrades, shattered energy records when it was turned back on today - enabling physicists to further study the Higgs Boson and what this particle's decay can reveal about the rest of the universe. By colliding proton beams together at 13.6 teraelectronvolts, the LHC broke a record; to give a sense of the power being unleashed at the particle collider located 300 feet underground, one tera electron volt is equivalent to 1,000,000,000,000 electron volts. CERN physicist Katharine Leney, pictured above, works at the ATLAS Experiment and is an assistant research professor at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. 'We think [dark matter] has mass but we don't know anything about it,' CERN physicist Katharine Leney, who works on the ATLAS Experiment and is a research assistant professor at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, told Daily Mail in an interview.

The 5th Multi-disciplinary Conference on Reinforcement Learning and Decision Making (RLDM) 2022 took place at Brown University from 8-11 June. The programme included invited and contributed talks, workshops, and poster sessions. The goal of RLDM is to provide a platform for communication among all researchers interested in learning and decision making over time to achieve a goal. Over the last few decades, reinforcement learning and decision making have been the focus of an incredible wealth of research spanning a wide variety of fields including psychology, artificial intelligence, machine learning, operations research, control theory, neuroscience, economics and ethology. The interdisciplinary sharing of ideas has been key to many developments in the field, and the meeting is characterized by the multidisciplinarity of the presenters and attendees.

In this interview, we speak to Dr. Damini Dey from Cedars-Sinai Health System about their latest research that involved using artificial intelligence to predict heart attacks. My name is Dr. Damini Dey. I am a scientist and professor working with quantitative cardiovascular imaging at Cedars-Sinai Health System in Los Angeles. We have been working with artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the prediction of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks, and efficient and automated measurement of imaging biomarkers. We have been working on this task for a number of years.
