The term artificial intelligence was coined over 65 years ago. For decades, it resided almost exclusively within the realm of computer scientists and programmers. But in recent years, AI has become a central component of our everyday lives, acting as the backbone of familiar tech like music streaming services, navigation devices and delivery apps. Unsurprisingly, it now touches nearly every known field of academic study. Education is the conduit through which today's students become tomorrow's leaders.

I would like to share paper/code of our latest work entitled "Self-Supervised Relational Reasoning for Representation Learning" that has been accepted at NeurIPS 2020. There are three key technical differences with contrastive methods like SimCLR: (i) the replacement of the reprojection head with a relation module, (ii) the use of a Binary Cross Entropy loss (BCE) instead of a contrastive loss, and (iii) the use of multiple augmentations instead of just two. In the GitHub repository we have also released some pretrained models, minimalistic code of the method, a step-by-step notebook, and code to reproduce the experiments. Abstract: In self-supervised learning, a system is tasked with achieving a surrogate objective by defining alternative targets on a set of unlabeled data. The aim is to build useful representations that can be used in downstream tasks, without costly manual annotation.

When I first processed the news that Ron Howard was directing a feature adaptation of Hillbilly Elegy, J.D. Vance's 2016 memoir, I made it my personal mission to see the movie. Given the book's reputation, I was expecting a sensitive portrait of Appalachia that drew from Vance's childhood memories to offer insights into the lives of the white working class. Instead, I was faced with perhaps the most catastrophically misguided work of pop sociology ever committed to film. I didn't even make it to the hour mark before I had to shut everything down in disgust, because 49 minutes into the movie, Mamaw (Glenn Close), the fierce but tender matriarch of the Vance family, offers young J.D. the following advice: Everyone in this world is one of three kinds: a good Terminator, a bad Terminator, or neutral. I have always known that coastal elites like Howard look on some groups of Americans with incomprehension, fear, and even hatred.

Google recently launched Hum to Search, a new machine-learned system within Google Search that helps to find a song by humming. This approach produces an embedding of a melody directly from a song's spectrogram without creating an intermediate representation. This allows the model to match a hummed tune to the original polyphonic recordings without a MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) version of each track or any other complex hand-engineered logic to extract the melody. One of the significant challenges in recognizing a hummed melody is that a hummed tune often contains relatively less information; for instance, this hummed example of Bella Ciao is illustrated. Using the image on the left, the model needs to locate the audio corresponding to the right-hand image.

Microsoft won't renew the contracts for dozens of news production contractors working at MSN and plans to use artificial intelligence to replace them, several people close to the situation confirmed on Friday. The roughly 50 employees -- contracted through staffing agencies Aquent, IFG and MAQ Consulting -- were notified Wednesday that their services would no longer be needed beyond June 30. "Like all companies, we evaluate our business on a regular basis," a Microsoft spokesman said in a statement. "This can result in increased investment in some places and, from time to time, re-deployment in others. These decisions are not the result of the current pandemic."
