A wise old wild snark ponders the world by Wild Snark

#artificialintelligence

A wise old wild snark is pondering the world. Alice has left the tea party in a huff. Gone through the looking glass in my opinion. The white rabbits; who were in fact blue are now more than a little purple. The wild snark blames it on the Ethereum; drinking to much it can do very strange thins to you. One of the last few snarks that live in the wild.


Continual Transformers: Redundancy-Free Attention for Online Inference

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Transformers are attention-based sequence transduction models, which have found widespread success in Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision applications. Yet, Transformers in their current form are inherently limited to operate on whole token sequences rather than on one token at a time. Consequently, their use during online inference entails considerable redundancy due to the overlap in successive token sequences. In this work, we propose novel formulations of the Scaled Dot-Product Attention, which enable Transformers to perform efficient online token-by-token inference in a continual input stream. Importantly, our modification is purely to the order of computations, while the produced outputs and learned weights are identical to those of the original Multi-Head Attention. To validate our approach, we conduct experiments on visual, audio, and audio-visual classification and detection tasks, i.e. Online Action Detection on THUMOS14 and TVSeries and Online Audio Classification on GTZAN, with remarkable results. Our continual one-block transformers reduce the floating point operations by respectively 63.5x and 51.5x in the Online Action Detection and Audio Classification experiments at similar predictive performance.


Hands-on Content Based Recommender System using Python

#artificialintelligence

One of the most surprising and fascinating applications of Artificial Intelligence is for sure recommender systems. In a nutshell, a recommender system is a tool that suggests you the next content given what you have already seen and liked. Companies like Spotify, Netflix or Youtube use recommender systems to suggest you the next video or song to watch given what you have already seen or listened to. The idea of build recommender system has surely not been developed yesterday. In 2006 Netflix announced a 1 million dollar reward to the research team able to build the best recommender system possible given some test data.


An enlightened wild snark by Wild Snark

#artificialintelligence

I think I fooled you; where is the wild snark you may ask. Today I have morphed into Alice. Wild snarks you see are shapeshifters; we are tricksters by nature. We have to be to survive and avoid domestication. I am true enlightened today; not only have I discovered that the white rabbits were in fact blue. I also discovered that Alice was a blue rabbit.


A wild snark in the meta wonderland by Wild Snark

#artificialintelligence

'A wild snark in meta wonderland' is a conceptual art work by wild snark. It explores firstly the metaverse. The metaverse is a hypothesized iteration of the Internet, supporting persistent online 3-D virtual environments through conventional personal computing, as well as virtual and augmented reality headsets. Metaverses, in some limited form, have already been implemented in video games such as Second Life. The term metaverse was coined in Neal Stephenson's 1992 science fiction novel Snow Crash, where humans, as avatars, interact with each other and software agents, in a three-dimensional virtual space that uses the metaphor of the real world. Within the metaverse, individual users appear as avatars of any form, with the sole restriction of height, "to prevent people from walking around a mile high".


Ancient Wild Snark Lilith and Loki by Wild Snark

#artificialintelligence

I think I might be the only wild snark in existence, I do not know one way or another for sure. In the past things were very different, there were many wild snarks. In ancient times there were as many wild snarks as human; some were counted amongst the gods. The most famous were Loki Snark and Lilith Snark. ''Loki (Old Norse: [ˈloki], often Anglicized as /ˈloʊki/) is a god in Norse mythology. According to some sources, Loki is the son of Fárbauti (a jötunn) and Laufey (mentioned as a goddess), and the brother of Helblindi and Býleistr.

Four times Shakespeare has inspired stories about robots and AI

#artificialintelligence

Science fiction is a genre very much associated with technological marvels, innovations, and visions of the future. So it may be surprising to find so many of its writers are drawn to Shakespeare – he's a figure associated with tradition and the past. Sometimes his plays are reworked in a science fiction setting. The 1956 film Forbidden Planet is just one of many variations on a "Tempest in space" theme. Sometimes the playwright appears as a character caught up in a time travel adventure.


Introducing Tomorrow's Vision Today

#artificialintelligence

On January 21st 2022, we will be launching a new podcast series covering the latest advances in emerging technology. We live in very dynamic times and technology is evolving faster than ever. These changes affect our businesses and our very livelihoods. History has shown that those who adapt quickly to new advances in technology can make great leaps forward in market penetration and create new competitive advantages. Conversely, those that wait are forced to adapt to the new paradigms created by their competitors.
