#artificialintelligence

In modern businesses, it really depends more on the overhead if you ask me. Can you buy a gpu easily through your it department? Can you schedule a cloud gpu easily internally? Can you start/stop it yourself or are those semi-admin rights not given to you and do you need to get approval every time (this happens more than you'd think...) Can you run a Linux environment or does your it require you to use windows if you go the desktop option?


[R] Knowledge-Aware Language Model Pretraining

#artificialintelligence

How much knowledge do pretrained language models hold? Recent research observed that pretrained transformers are adept at modeling semantics but it is unclear to what degree they grasp human knowledge, or how to ensure they do so. In this paper we incorporate knowledge-awareness in language model pretraining without changing the transformer architecture, inserting explicit knowledge layers, or adding external storage of semantic information. Rather, we simply signal the existence of entities to the input of the transformer in pretraining, with an entity-extended tokenizer; and at the output, with an additional entity prediction task. Our experiments show that solely by adding these entity signals in pretraining, significantly more knowledge is packed into the transformer parameters: we observe improved language modeling accuracy, factual correctness in LAMA knowledge probing tasks, and semantics in the hidden representations through edge probing.


Artificial Intelligence -- There has not been a breakthrough yet

#artificialintelligence

The Motto of the present period is Artificial Intelligence ( AI). As with several phrases that extend from specialized academic fields into general circulation, the use of the term is followed by substantial confusion. But this isn't the standard case where the public doesn't understand the scientists -- here the scientists are just as puzzled as to the public. The thought that our age is somehow seeing the rise of a digital intellect that rivals our own entertains us all -- enthusiasm us and scaring us in equal measure. There's a particular story about the present period that one can tell. Consider the following story which involves decisions about people, computers, data, and life-or-death, but where the emphasis is something other than fantasies about intelligence-in-silicon.


AI tool improves video footage by editing out unwanted objects

New Scientist

Objects can be removed from videos, and the field of vision of the camera can be expanded entirely thanks to a new AI-powered technique. Hollywood movie studios invest significant time and money editing out unwanted objects from video footage. Machine learning has the potential do the same job at a fraction of the cost but it has rarely been used to visualise what lies behind objects, or outside the film frame.

Beverly Glenn-Copeland's Music for a Future That Never Came

The New Yorker

In the early nineteen-eighties, Beverly Glenn-Copeland was living in a quiet part of Ontario famous for its scenic hills and lakes. He heard about the advent of the personal computer and, owing to a fascination with "Star Trek" and science-fiction futurism, became instantly intrigued. He bought one, even though he had no idea how to use it. Initially, he just walked around with his computer cradled in his arms, hoping that its secrets would reveal themselves. For the next few years, Glenn-Copeland's free time was spent shovelling snow, feeding his family, and teaching himself how to use his computer to make music.
