Making computers explain themselves

#artificialintelligence

In recent years, the best-performing systems in artificial-intelligence research have come courtesy of neural networks, which look for patterns in training data that yield useful predictions or classifications. A neural net might, for instance, be trained to recognize certain objects in digital images or to infer the topics of texts. But neural nets are black boxes. After training, a network may be very good at classifying data, but even its creators will have no idea why. With visual data, it's sometimes possible to automate experiments that determine which visual features a neural net is responding to.

'After Yang' explores the meaning of life through a broken android

Engadget

In the film After Yang, a father goes to great lengths to save his daughter's best friend. It just so happens this bestie is a humanoid robot, or technosapien, named Yang. Can he be easily replaced, and what's the value of his artificial life? Like a cross between Black Mirror and Spike Jonze's Her, After Yang explores humanity and existence through the lens of technology, while director Kogonada (Columbus) crafts a vision of the future that feels truly distinct. After a virtuoso opening sequence, where families compete in a virtual dance contest in their living rooms, Yang (Justin H. Min) malfunctions. He's not just some robotic butler; he's a culture technosapien meant to help Jake's adoptive daughter, Mika (Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja), learn about her Chinese heritage.


This is How Machine Learning Can Solve Your PR Problems

#artificialintelligence

Machine learning can solve PR problems by tackling fake news and cutting through the clutter. A business needs to be noticed, in today's times, to attract more opportunities. PR makes an impressive social presence possible for any business. But PR is a tough nut to crack and experts are now using machine learning to solve PR problems. Before jumping to the PR problems, we should first understand what public relation (PR) is.


How To Become An IoT Expert With Azure (Job For Your Future)

#artificialintelligence

"The IoT market reached $761.4 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $1.39 trillion by 2026, according to Mordor Intelligence." If you are looking for a safe job in the future, then it is worth learning IoT stuff. Another important field is AI/Machine Learning (Data Science) for the future. I have decided to write this year a series of articles about IoT. I will cover all the stuff that can make you an Azure IoT Expert (Development and Architecture). I will start with the basics and connectivity and continue until the user interfaces and reporting.


A model that can create realistic animations of talking faces

#artificialintelligence

In recent years, computer-generated animations of animals and humans have become increasingly detailed and realistic. Nonetheless, producing convincing animations of a character's face as it's talking remains a key challenge, as it typically entails the successful combination of a series of different audio and video elements. A team of computer scientists at TCS Research in India has recently created a new model that can produce highly realistic talking face animations that integrate audio recordings with a character's head motions. This model, introduced in a paper presented at ICVGIP 2021, the twelfth Indian Conference on Computer Vision, Graphics and Image Processing, could be used to create more convincing virtual avatars, digital assistants, and animated movies. "For a pleasant viewing experience, the perception of realism is of utmost importance, and despite recent research advances, the generation of a realistic talking face remains a challenging research problem," Brojeshwar Bhowmick, one of the researchers who carried out the study, told TechXplore.


Fair ranking: a critical review, challenges, and future directions

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Ranking, recommendation, and retrieval systems are widely used in online platforms and other societal systems, including e-commerce, media-streaming, admissions, gig platforms, and hiring. In the recent past, a large "fair ranking" research literature has been developed around making these systems fair to the individuals, providers, or content that are being ranked. Most of this literature defines fairness for a single instance of retrieval, or as a simple additive notion for multiple instances of retrievals over time. This work provides a critical overview of this literature, detailing the often context-specific concerns that such an approach misses: the gap between high ranking placements and true provider utility, spillovers and compounding effects over time, induced strategic incentives, and the effect of statistical uncertainty. We then provide a path forward for a more holistic and impact-oriented fair ranking research agenda, including methodological lessons from other fields and the role of the broader stakeholder community in overcoming data bottlenecks and designing effective regulatory environments.
