"Good course for anyone who wants to make some sense of all the proper terminology and basic methodology of AI. Idan's explanations are very clear and to the point, no fluff and no distractions!" "The course was actually amazing, giving me much more insight into AI. "It was a great experience." "Indeed a good beginner's course which I actually wanted".


AI Is No Match for the Quirks of Human Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

At least since the 1950s, the idea that it would be possible to soon create a machine that was capable of matching the full scope and level of achievement of human intelligence has been greeted with equal amounts of hype and hysteria. We've now succeeded in creating machines that can solve specific fairly narrow problems -- "smart" machines that can diagnose disease, drive cars, understand speech, and beat us at chess -- but general intelligence remains elusive. Let's get this out of the way: Improvements in machine intelligence will not lead to runaway machine-led revolutions. They may change the kind of jobs that people do, but they will not spell the end of human existence. There will be no robo-apocalypse. The emphasis of intelligence testing and computational approaches to intelligence has been on well-structured and formal problems. That is, problems that have a clear goal and a set number of possible solutions. But we humans are creative, irrational, and inconsistent.


Machine Learning Practical: 6 Real-World Applications

So you know the theory of Machine Learning and know how to create your first algorithms. There are tons of courses out there about the underlying theory of Machine Learning which don't go any deeper โ€“ into the applications. This course is not one of them. Are you ready to apply all of the theory and knowledge to real life Machine Learning challenges? We gathered best industry professionals with tons of completed projects behind.


Correct Me if I am Wrong: Interactive Learning for Robotic Manipulation - Technology Org

#artificialintelligence

Deep reinforcement learning is successfully applied in many real-world robotic tasks. However, it is limited to domains in which a simulator is available or environments that have been tailored and instrumented for the agent's training. Interactive learning approach is useful in training not just industrial robotic systems. Therefore, a recent paper proposes an interactive learning approach in which a human teacher provides evaluative and corrective feedback to the robot during training. The method does not require any reward function and thus avoids credit assignment and reward exploitation issues.


AI/Human Augmentation: How AI & Humans Can Work Together โ€“ BMC Software

#artificialintelligence

Many predictions to the outcome of the humans and artificial intelligence take an either/or approach. Skynet is determined to end the human race in The Terminator. In The Matrix, the machines have learned to farm humans for battery power. Then, there are the reports that AI beats the best Go and Chess players in the world, and there is no shot for a human victory. These views make it seem that in order to win, humans must exist free of computer control. A more likely outcome--a better picture of success--is to say, "We found our peace through AI/human augmentation."

Representation of professions in entertainment media: Insights into frequency and sentiment trends through computational text analysis

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Societal ideas and trends dictate media narratives and cinematic depictions which in turn influences people's beliefs and perceptions of the real world. Media portrayal of culture, education, government, religion, and family affect their function and evolution over time as people interpret and perceive these representations and incorporate them into their beliefs and actions. It is important to study media depictions of these social structures so that they do not propagate or reinforce negative stereotypes, or discriminate against any demographic section. In this work, we examine media representation of professions and provide computational insights into their incidence, and sentiment expressed, in entertainment media content. We create a searchable taxonomy of professional groups and titles to facilitate their retrieval from speaker-agnostic text passages like movie and television (TV) show subtitles. We leverage this taxonomy and relevant natural language processing (NLP) models to create a corpus of professional mentions in media content, spanning more than 136,000 IMDb titles over seven decades (1950-2017). We analyze the frequency and sentiment trends of different occupations, study the effect of media attributes like genre, country of production, and title type on these trends, and investigate if the incidence of professions in media subtitles correlate with their real-world employment statistics. We observe increased media mentions of STEM, arts, sports, and entertainment occupations in the analyzed subtitles, and a decreased frequency of manual labor jobs and military occupations. The sentiment expressed toward lawyers, police, and doctors is becoming negative over time, whereas astronauts, musicians, singers, and engineers are mentioned favorably. Professions that employ more people have increased media frequency, supporting our hypothesis that media acts as a mirror to society.


Learning a subspace of policies for online adaptation in Reinforcement Learning

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) is mainly studied in a setting where the training and the testing environments are similar. But in many practical applications, these environments may differ. For instance, in control systems, the robot(s) on which a policy is learned might differ from the robot(s) on which a policy will run. It can be caused by different internal factors (e.g., calibration issues, system attrition, defective modules) or also by external changes (e.g., weather conditions). There is a need to develop RL methods that generalize well to variations of the training conditions. In this article, we consider the simplest yet hard to tackle generalization setting where the test environment is unknown at train time, forcing the agent to adapt to the system's new dynamics. This online adaptation process can be computationally expensive (e.g., fine-tuning) and cannot rely on meta-RL techniques since there is just a single train environment. To do so, we propose an approach where we learn a subspace of policies within the parameter space. This subspace contains an infinite number of policies that are trained to solve the training environment while having different parameter values. As a consequence, two policies in that subspace process information differently and exhibit different behaviors when facing variations of the train environment. Our experiments carried out over a large variety of benchmarks compare our approach with baselines, including diversity-based methods. In comparison, our approach is simple to tune, does not need any extra component (e.g., discriminator) and learns policies able to gather a high reward on unseen environments.
