I'm particularly interested in the complications and societal implications that arise when machine learning is used with imperfect real-world data.


This Film Examines the Biases in the Code That Runs Our Lives

#artificialintelligence

Shalini Kantayya is the documentary filmmaker behind the recent films Catching the Sun and Coded Bias, which premiered this month online. Coded Bias follows MIT researcher Joy Buolamwini as she investigates and combats the racial disparities of facial recognition for people of color, in both impact and accuracy. As it follows Buolamwini from MIT to her testimony on Capitol Hill, the film looks at the ubiquitous, but overlooked impact of algorithms on our daily lives, from policing to housing to education and shopping. Days after the film's premiere, WIRED spoke with Kantayya about the documentary, sci-fi, and Big Tech's grasping control of our lives. WIRED: People hear phrases like machine learning, artificial intelligence, recommender systems, and it's overwhelming.

With an AI system, that training would evolve into machine learning that needs to be monitored and documented for future use cases and applications.


Colorize black-and-white photos

#artificialintelligence

DeepAI is a research company that develops a wide variety of deep neural network (DNN) models using the bleeding edge of AI research. For example, they have built models for sentiment analysis of text, nudity detection, artistic style transfer, text summarization, etc. One model that I was particularly interested in using was the Image Colorization that adds realistic coloration to old black-and-white photos. In this post, I show how easy it is to use DeepAI's API for this model to color your own images automatically using Python. Using the API is very simple.

India needs free, fair, non-hyphenated and questioning journalism even more as it faces multiple crises. But the news media is in a crisis of its own. There have been brutal layoffs and pay-cuts. The best of journalism is shrinking, yielding to crude prime-time spectacle. ThePrint has the finest young reporters, columnists and editors working for it.
