#artificialintelligence

Humans can typically create one or two good models a week; machine learning can create thousands of models a week. Machine learning has evolved from a fuzzy textbook phrase to sophisticated algorithms, omnipresent in our day-to-day lives without us even realizing. We have all been stunned by the growth of technology in this era, whether it is Facebook's uncanny ability to pick out and tag people or Netflix's personalized recommendations. Machine learning has become quite the trend in the fourth industrial revolution and is not fizzling out any time soon. It is a part of the broad category of data science, which takes the solution a step further by using algorithms that finally helps in making informed decisions.


Jexi Trailer: Artificial Intelligence Gets a Little Too Real for Adam Devine - ComingSoon.net

#artificialintelligence

Lionsgate has released the official Jexi trailer (previously titled Lexi) for the upcoming comedy starring Adam Devine (Pitch Perfect, Workaholics, Magic Camp) and Rose Byrne (Insidious, Spy, Bridesmaids). You can check out the trailer now in the player below! RELATED: I Still Believe Trailer Reveals K.J. Apa as Singer Jeremy Camp Phil (Adam Devine) has a major dependency issue -- he's addicted to his phone. He has no friends, he has a job writing pop culture "Top 10" lists, and his love life is non-existent. But his Facebook status is about to change. When he is forced to upgrade his phone, the latest model comes with an unexpected feature…Jexi (Rose Byrne), an A.I. life coach, virtual assistant, and cheerleader.


How LinkedIn, Uber, Lyft, Airbnb and Netflix are Solving Data Management and Discovery for Machine Learning Solutions

#artificialintelligence

Amundsen combines it backend architecture with a simple user experience that enables the search and exploration of datasets. Netflix has been an active contributor to open source technologies in the big data space and data discovery and management is not the exception. Metacat is Netflix's solution to automate the lifecycle of metadata assets. Functionally, Metacat is a federated service providing a unified REST/Thrift interface to access metadata of various data stores.


Four Challenges to Overcome for AI-Driven Customer Experience

#artificialintelligence

To launch a successful virtual agent project for your organization's customer service capability, the company must overcome four hurdles. This article is part of an MIT SMR initiative exploring how technology is reshaping the practice of management. Are you ready to turn your company's customer service over to AI-powered virtual agents? Whether your goals include creating a fully digital business, improving customer experience, or cutting costs, virtual agents and automation offer many benefits. Consider the experience of Mark Baylis, vice president of customer service and digital customer engagement at Optus, Australia's second-largest telecom operator.


Top 50 Statistics Blogs of 2019

#artificialintelligence

Statistics is a branch of mathematics that deals with the interpretation of data. Statisticians work in a wide variety of fields in both the private and the public sectors and can be found anywhere - Nevada, Washington, New Hampshire, Louisiana. They are teachers, consultants, watchdogs, journalists, designers, programmers, and by in large, ordinary people like you and me. In searching for the top statistics blogs on the web we only considered recently active blogs. In deciding which ones to include in our (admittedly unscientific) list of the 50 best statistics blogs we considered a range of factors, including visual appeal/aesthetics, frequency of posts, and accessibility to non-specialists.


Artificial Super Intelligence Might Be Closer than You Think

#artificialintelligence

According to Gartner's survey of over 3,000 CIOs, Artificial intelligence (AI) was by far the most mentioned technology and takes the spot as the top game-changer technology away from data and analytics, which is now occupying a second place. AI is set to become the core of everything humans are going to be interacting with in the forthcoming years and beyond. Robots are programmable entities designed to carry out a series of tasks. When programmers embed human-like intelligence, behavior, emotions, and even when they engineer ethics into robots we say they create robots with an embedded Artificial Intelligence that is able to mimic any task a human can perform, including debating, as IBM showed earlier this year at CES Las Vegas. IBM has made a human-AI debate possible through its Project Debater, aimed at helping decision-makers make more informed decisions.


Leveraging External Knowledge for Out-Of-Vocabulary Entity Labeling

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Dealing with previously unseen slots is a challenging problem in a real-world multi-domain dialogue state tracking task. Other approaches rely on predefined mappings to generate candidate slot keys, as well as their associated values. This, however, may fail when the key, the value, or both, are not seen during training. To address this problem we introduce a neural network that leverages external knowledge bases (KBs) to better classify out-of-vocabulary slot keys and values. This network projects the slot into an attribute space derived from the KB, and, by leveraging similarities in this space, we propose candidate slot keys and values to the dialogue state tracker. We provide extensive experiments that demonstrate that our stratagem can improve upon a previous approach, which relies on predefined candidate mappings. In particular, we evaluate this approach by training a state-of-the-art model with candidates generated from our network, and obtained relative increases of 57.7% and 82.7% in F1 score and accuracy, respectively, for the aforementioned model, when compared to the current candidate generation strategy.


r/MachineLearning - [D] Machine Learning - WAYR (What Are You Reading) - Week 69

#artificialintelligence

This is a place to share machine learning research papers, journals, and articles that you're reading this week. If it relates to what you're researching, by all means elaborate and give us your insight, otherwise it could just be an interesting paper you've read. Please try to provide some insight from your understanding and please don't post things which are present in wiki. Preferably you should link the arxiv page (not the PDF, you can easily access the PDF from the summary page but not the other way around) or any other pertinent links. Besides that, there are no rules, have fun.


Tech Anxiety: Overcoming Your Fear of AI & Automation

#artificialintelligence

From Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" in 1927 to the titanic "Terminator" franchise of present day, popular culture has reflected an unwavering fear of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation for decades. While the entertainment industry may have drawn inspiration from public anxiety over the past century, the broader reasons for aversion to digital evolution have changed. At the present, the more common fear of AI stems from concerns about displacement and annihilation of job roles across industries, as intelligent, AI-related technologies like process automation and digital content services continue to evolve and eliminate manual tasks that were once managed by human hands and minds. While this digital evolution may mean the end of certain roles in the future of work, for most it will more likely mean a simultaneous evolution of skills and responsibilities in human-based occupations. Forecasts indicate that all jobs will be impacted by AI and automation technologies in the future, but that doesn't mean those jobs will be replaced.


U.S. tech industry becomes hotbed for ethics-centered employee activism

The Japan Times

SAN FRANCISCO – When Liz O'Sullivan was hired at the New York City-based artificial intelligence company Clarifai in 2017, she felt lucky to find work at the intersection of two of her main interests: technology and ethics. Two years later, she found herself facing a moral dilemma. Clarifai was developing aerial photography and object detection tools as one of several companies working on Project Maven, a Pentagon drone surveillance program. After several conversations with friends and colleagues, O'Sullivan realized this type of technology eventually could be used for autonomous weapons. In January, she wrote to Clarifai CEO Matt Zeiler on behalf of a group of employees, seeking clarification on whether the technology would be used to create weapons and asking him to commit to a series of ethical measures.
