Opinion The Robot Apocalypse Has Been Postponed

#artificialintelligence

But intuition might be deceiving. The best reason to doubt Yang's story is contained in productivity statistics, which measure the output of the gainfully employed and which traditionally rise rapidly during periods of technological change -- because even if workers are losing their jobs to the spinning jenny or the automobile, other workers should be increasing their productivity with the new technology's assistance. Lately this hasn't been happening. Instead productivity growth in the developed world has decelerated over the last decade. To quote a recent summary, in mature economies "labor productivity growth rates halved from an average annual rate of 2.3 percent in the period 2000-2007 to 1.2 percent from 2010-2017."


Microsoft and the learnings from its failed Tay artificial intelligence bot ZDNet

#artificialintelligence

In March 2016, Microsoft sent its artificial intelligence (AI) bot Tay out into the wild to see how it interacted with humans. According to Microsoft Cybersecurity Field CTO Diana Kelley, the team behind Tay wanted the bot to pick up natural language and thought Twitter was the best place for it to go. "A great example of AI and ML going awry is Tay," Kelley told RSA Conference 2019 Asia Pacific and Japan in Singapore last week. Tay was targeted at American 18 to 24-year olds and was "designed to engage and entertain people where they connect with each other online through casual and playful conversation". Here's how it's related to artificial intelligence, how it works and why it matters.


The Best (And Scariest) Examples Of AI-Enabled Deepfakes

#artificialintelligence

There are positive uses for deepfake technology like making digital voices for people who lost theirs or updating film footage instead of reshooting it if actors trip over their lines. However, the potential for malicious use is of grave concern, especially as the technology gets more refined. There has been tremendous progress in the quality of deepfakes since only a few years ago when the first products of the technology circulated. Since that time, many of the scariest examples of artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled deepfakes have technology leaders, governments, and media talking about the perils it could create for communities. The first exposure to deepfakes for most of the general public happened in 2017.


Justice Department Announces Sweeping Antitrust Probe Of Big Tech

Huffington Post - Tech news and opinion

The federal business watchdog will reportedly find that Facebook deceived users about how it handled phone numbers it asked for as part of a security feature and provided insufficient information about how to turn off a facial recognition tool for photos.


World's best AI algorithms STILL struggle to detect the faces of black people

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Evidence continues to mount that facial recognition systems - some of which are already deployed by police forces worldwide - struggle to tell black people apart. Research conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the US tested AI software from more than 50 companies across the globe. Experts from the government agency found up to a tenfold difference in error rate when it came to correctly identifying black women compared to white females. White men were found to present the least challenge when it came to correct identification. The finding builds on previous studies that have also noted serious discrepancies in facial recognition tools when it comes to images of people with darker skin tones.


Topic Modeling with Wasserstein Autoencoders

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

We propose a novel neural topic model in the Wasserstein autoencoders (WAE) framework. Unlike existing variational autoencoder based models, we directly enforce Dirichlet prior on the latent document-topic vectors. We exploit the structure of the latent space and apply a suitable kernel in minimizing the Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) to perform distribution matching. We discover that MMD performs much better than the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) in matching high dimensional Dirichlet distribution. We further discover that incorporating randomness in the encoder output during training leads to significantly more coherent topics. To measure the diversity of the produced topics, we propose a simple topic uniqueness metric. Together with the widely used coherence measure NPMI, we offer a more wholistic evaluation of topic quality. Experiments on several real datasets show that our model produces significantly better topics than existing topic models.


MadMiner: Machine learning-based inference for particle physics

arXiv.org Machine Learning

The legacy measurements of the LHC will require analyzing high-dimensional event data for subtle kinematic signatures, which is challenging for established analysis methods. Recently, a powerful family of multivariate inference techniques that leverage both matrix element information and machine learning has been developed. This approach neither requires the reduction of high-dimensional data to summary statistics nor any simplifications to the underlying physics or detector response. In this paper we introduce MadMiner, a Python module that streamlines the steps involved in this procedure. Wrapping around MadGraph5_aMC and Pythia 8, it supports almost any physics process and model. To aid phenomenological studies, the tool also wraps around Delphes 3, though it is extendable to a full Geant4-based detector simulation. We demonstrate the use of MadMiner in an example analysis of dimension-six operators in ttH production, finding that the new techniques substantially increase the sensitivity to new physics.


Visual Interaction with Deep Learning Models through Collaborative Semantic Inference

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Automation of tasks can have critical consequences when humans lose agency over decision processes. Deep learning models are particularly susceptible since current black-box approaches lack explainable reasoning. We argue that both the visual interface and model structure of deep learning systems need to take into account interaction design. We propose a framework of collaborative semantic inference (CSI) for the co-design of interactions and models to enable visual collaboration between humans and algorithms. The approach exposes the intermediate reasoning process of models which allows semantic interactions with the visual metaphors of a problem, which means that a user can both understand and control parts of the model reasoning process. We demonstrate the feasibility of CSI with a co-designed case study of a document summarization system.


Microsoft pays $25 million to settle corruption charges

Microsoft is paying more than $25 million to settle federal corruption charges involving a bribery scheme in its Hungary office and three other foreign subsidiaries, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said Monday, July 22, 2019. NEW YORK – Microsoft is paying more than $25 million to settle federal corruption charges involving a bribery scheme in Hungary and other foreign offices. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said Microsoft will pay about $16.6 million to settle charges that it violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. While the case centered on Hungary, the SEC said it also found improprieties at Microsoft offices in Saudi Arabia, Thailand and Turkey.
