A Note on GPT-3 and Its (Obviously Null) "Thinking" Capabilities

#artificialintelligence

The main conclusion of that article is that the tool is not suitable to assist students learning physics (see the article for details). In the best case, GPT-3 could barely serve -under strict supervision- to retrieve solid, explicit theoretical statements of the kinds that could answer questions such as "What does Newton's second law state?"

The School of Data Science [SDS] at UNC Charlotte is an interdisciplinary unit that is supported by the Academic Affairs' Office of the Provost, the College of Computing and Informatics, the Belk College of Business, the College of Health and Human Services, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the William States Lee College of Engineering, as well as other academic units. SDS oversees two graduate programs in Health Informatics and Analytics [HIA] and Data Science and Business Analytics [DSBA] with over 300 students enrolled. A new undergraduate degree was launched in Spring 2021 and has quickly grown to nearly 100 majors. A Ph.D. program is in the planning stage. The vision of the School of Data Science is to become a leader in ethically grounded, interdisciplinary data science and artificial intelligence research and education that serves our diverse local and global community.


#NeurIPS2021 invited talks round-up: part two โ€“ benign overfitting, optimal transport, and human and machine intelligence

AIHub

The 35th conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS2021) featured eight invited talks. Continuing our series of round-ups, we give a flavour of the next three presentations. In his talk, Peter focussed on the phenomenon of benign overfitting, one of the surprises to arise from deep learning: that deep neural networks seem to predict well, even with a perfect fit to noisy training data. The presentation began with a broader perspective on theoretical progress inspired by large-scale machine learning problems. Peter took us back to 1988, and to a NeurIPS paper by Eric Baum and David Haussler who were interested in the question of generalization for neural networks.


How to Think like a Data Scientist, Even If You Aren't One - Tesseract Academy

#artificialintelligence

To determine if a problem can be solved using data science, you must be able to phrase it either as a statistical modelling problem, a hypothesis test, a supervised learning problem, or an unsupervised learning problem. A statistical modelling problem is one in which you are trying to figure out the relationship between two variables and if one is important for the other. Hypothesis tests are employed when you want to conduct a comparison between two groups. In essence, you are looking to discover whether the two groups differ, and how they differ. A good example of this is A/B testing.


24 Useful Open Datasets for Natural Language Processing

#artificialintelligence

Natural language processing forms the foundation of innovation in artificial intelligence. We want machines that sound like us, understand us, and take on tasks previously only possible through human interaction. Until then, developers can build and train with these open-source NLP datasets specific to natural language processing. Wikipedia Links Data: With around 13 million documents and corresponding hyperlinks, this massive NLP dataset treats each page as an entity. Penn Treebank: The corpus was taken from the Wall Street Journal and remains one of the most popular sets for the evaluation of sequence labeling models.

Is it personal? The impact of personally relevant robotic failures (PeRFs) on humans' trust, likeability, and willingness to use the robot

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In three laboratory experiments, we examine the impact of personally relevant failures (PeRFs) on perceptions of a collaborative robot. PeR is determined by how much a specific issue applies to a particular person, i.e., it affects one's own goals and values. We hypothesized that PeRFs would reduce trust in the robot and the robot's Likeability and Willingness to Use (LWtU) more than failures that are not personal to participants. To achieve PeR in human-robot interaction, we utilized three different manipulation mechanisms: A) damage to property, B) financial loss, and C) first-person versus third-person failure scenarios. In total, 132 participants engaged with a robot in person during a collaborative task of laundry sorting. All three experiments took place in the same experimental environment, carefully designed to simulate a realistic laundry sorting scenario. Results indicate that the impact of PeRFs on perceptions of the robot varied across the studies. In experiments A and B, the encounters with PeRFs reduced trust significantly relative to a no failure session. But not entirely for LWtU. In experiment C, the PeR manipulation had no impact. The work highlights challenges and adjustments needed for studying robotic failures in laboratory settings. We show that PeR manipulations affect how users perceive a failing robot. The results bring about new questions regarding failure types and their perceived severity on users' perception of the robot. Putting PeR aside, we observed differences in the way users perceive interaction failures compared (experiment C) to how they perceive technical ones (A and B).
