Most prominent issues AI needs to confront : engineer-ai
While we praise the positive effects of artificial intelligence how about we not overlook there's additionally a great deal to be worried about. There are a ton of motivations to be amped up for artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is changing enterprises in imaginative manners and in any event, empowering completely new plans of action to develop. In any case, there are likewise a great deal of motivations to be mindful about AI. The 2019 AI Now Report, made by the AI Now Institute, investigates the social effect of AI in 2019, and probably the most significant issues encompassing the innovation as it pushes ahead.

The Jetson Nano: Introduction and Dev Board Comparisons Nvidia Jetson
Due to sufficient support suitable for exploration and introduction to parallel programming, actuator interface, Linux-based programming, deep learning, and artificial intelligence application development, the Jetson Nano developer kit is definitely suitable for a maker to get started with exciting advanced projects in robotics, computer vision, and IoT. The Nvidia community also provides a platform to share various Jetson projects from the community. Nvidia provides the JetPack SDK which is a collection of libraries, software, and OS options optimized for the Jetson boards. The Linux4Tegra OS is a GNU Linux special distribution by Nvidia for their Tegra series processors used in the Jetson boards. CUDA for GPU acceleration, TensorRT, cuDNN, and OpenCV are few of the widely used packages pre-installed on the OS image.
r/MachineLearning - [D] What is the path to getting a *deep* understanding of machine learning. Deep enough that if you were in one of the top AI labs in the country (Google Brain, Deep Mind, Facebook AI, etc.) you would be able to keep up with your peers? Reading list?
Many of those researchers will have PhDs and long CVs full of peer-reviewed research articles. ML engineering is often the applied side of the (more theoretical) research that began in theirs and their peers' minds. I would recommend identifying pathways for collaborating with established ML researchers on published (and refereed) research papers. Another major difference between an ML engineer and an ML researcher to keep in mind is that the ML researchers at major companies and universities are world-class experts in their respective very very narrow subfields. Some of them will have invented the entire topic that they're an expert in.
r/MachineLearning - [R] Adaptive versus Standard Descent Methods and Robustness Against Adversarial Examples
Abstract: Adversarial examples are a pervasive phenomenon of machine learning models where seemingly imperceptible perturbations to the input lead to misclassifications for otherwise statistically accurate models. In this paper we study how the choice of optimization algorithm influences the robustness of the resulting classifier to adversarial examples. Specifically we show an example of a learning problem for which the solution found by adaptive optimization algorithms exhibits qualitatively worse robustness properties against both $L_{2}$- and $L_{\infty}$-adversaries than the solution found by non-adaptive algorithms. Then we fully characterize the geometry of the loss landscape of $L_{2}$-adversarial training in least- squares linear regression. The geometry of the loss landscape is subtle and has important consequences for optimization algorithms.
Baidu Conquers The Next-Gen AI Race By Beating Tech Giants In A Language Test
Although conversing with artificial intelligence (AI) has been a common plot point for several science fiction movies, the real-life applications are still miles away. However, according to recent media reports, Chinese technology giant -- Baidu has started to make bold strides towards AI by beating Google and Microsoft in a competition designed to test the ability of machine in understanding human language. Baidu, which is often termed as China's Google, surpassed traditional players when it comes to AI and language learning. It has achieved the highest ever score in the General Language Understanding Evaluation (GLUE), which has been widely considered to be the benchmark for AI language comprehension skills. For most humans, the managed score is usually an 87 out of 100, however, Baidu's model, called ERNIE (Enhanced Representation through knowledge Integration has scored a 90, which is a first for any AI models.
DAWSON: A Domain Adaptive Few Shot Generation Framework
Liang, Weixin, Liu, Zixuan, Liu, Can
Training a Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) for a new domain from scratch requires an enormous amount of training data and days of training time. To this end, we propose DAWSON, a Domain Adaptive FewShot Generation FrameworkFor GANs based on meta-learning. A major challenge of applying meta-learning GANs is to obtain gradients for the generator from evaluating it on development sets due to the likelihood-free nature of GANs. To address this challenge, we propose an alternative GAN training procedure that naturally combines the two-step training procedure of GANs and the two-step training procedure of meta-learning algorithms. DAWSON is a plug-and-play framework that supports a broad family of meta-learning algorithms and various GANs with architectural-variants. Based on DAWSON, We also propose MUSIC MATINEE, which is the first few-shot music generation model. Our experiments show that MUSIC MATINEE could quickly adapt to new domains with only tens of songs from the target domains. We also show that DAWSON can learn to generate new digits with only four samples in the MNIST dataset. We release source codes implementation of DAWSON in both PyTorch and Tensorflow, generated music samples on two genres and the lightning video.
