Can We Judge An ML Model Just From Weights

#artificialintelligence

Any machine learning solution comes with two primary challenges -- accuracy and training time. There is always a trade-off between these two.


International Women's Day: celebrating the black women tackling bias in AI

#artificialintelligence

This intersectional group is disproportionately affected by instances of bias in both the design and application of AI, and they are also leading the fight to make new technologies more equitable for everyone. Intersectionality โ€“ the proposition that race, class, gender and other individual characteristics intersect in a way that impacts how a person is viewed, understood and treated โ€“ opens possibilities for deeper thinking about how injustices occur in everyday life. Kimberlรฉ Crenshaw, a professor of law at Columbia and the University of California, Los Angeles, coined the term in 1989 in'A Black Feminist Critique of Antidiscrimination Doctrine, Feminist Theory and Antiracist Politics'. Crenshaw's work was rooted in Critical Race Theory โ€“ the belief that the structure of law and society are intrinsically racist โ€“ and she saw the failure to recognise the intersection of race and sex as part of that structure. In that essay, Crenshaw argues that black women, through being both black and female, suffer specific forms of discrimination that black men or white women may not.


Cuspera Launches Wyz , an AI Advisor, to Help Business Managers Discover Best Software Products for Their Unique Needs

#artificialintelligence

Subrahmanyam Vempati, Co-Founder and CEO of Cuspera, popularly known as Subbu, said, "Cuspera is conceived based on the pain points I had personally faced as a Corporate VP at HP. My success was limited by our ability to find and deploy the right software in a continuously evolving business landscape. At Cuspera, we are on a mission to equip the business managers to digitally transform their businesses by enabling faster software selection." Accelerated business cycles and digital transformation pressures have compelled business managers to now make software purchase decisions frequently. In 2020, in marketing function alone, business managers are expected to spend upwards of $120 billion[1]. This is in spite of 94% of them abandoning their software buying effort in the past[2].


How to Create Landing Page Variants & Optimize with AI

#artificialintelligence

You've built the perfect landing page. Your headline is simultaneously descriptive and urgent. You've got a hero image of someone holding your product, weeping with joy. Your explainer video becomes a surprise hit at Cannes (though it's controversially snubbed by the Academy). Your testimonials include Beyoncรฉ and Tom Hanks, and you have to shrink the New York Times just to fit Disney into your "as seen in" logo spread.


r/MachineLearning - [D] Machine Learning - WAYR (What Are You Reading) - Week 83

#artificialintelligence

A paper titled Composition-based Multi-relational Graph Convolutional Networks (Vashishth et al., ICLR 2020). The basic idea is that most of the GNN-based methods that are popular are used on undirected and simple graph structures, whereas multi-relational and directed graphs are actually what's important in the real world. CompGCN (the model proposed in the paper) embeds both the nodes and relations in knowledge graphs in order to incorporate this information. The "composition" comes in order to effectively and jointly learn the embeddings for entities and relations. Previous models for multi-relational graphs are limited to only learning entities, due to computational complexity reasons.


Arnold Schwarzenegger is suing a company that made a robot of him

#artificialintelligence

When Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Terminator" character said "I'll be back," this probably wasn't what he had in mind. The actor and former governor of California is suing a robotics company for $10 million, after the business decided to use his name and likeness. Schwarzenegger's lawsuit against the tech startup, called Promobot, alleges that the robot lookalike... "diminishes his hard-earned and well-deserved reputation as a major motion picture star," according to TMZ. The robot isn't just meant to look like Schwarzenegger, it also has his name. Promobot advertises the creation on its site as a "companion robot," one of several that emulates the appearance of world-famous celebrities.


Sara Adkins Is Jamming Out With Machines

#artificialintelligence

Asking machines to make music by themselves is kind of a strange notion. They don't feel happy or hurt, and as far as we know, they don't long for the affections of other machines. Humans like to think of music as being a strictly human thing, a passionate undertaking so nuanced and emotion-based that a machine could never begin to understand the feeling that goes into the process of making music, or even the simple enjoyment of it. The idea of humans and machines having a jam session together is even stranger. But oddly enough, the principles of the jam session may be exactly what machines need to begin to understand musical expression.


#Mythbusting 10 Artificial Intelligence Misconceptions

#artificialintelligence

Today, misconceptions about AI are spreading like wildfire. It seems that the rapid technological advancements inspire various myths about people losing their jobs and the demise of humanity as a whole. At the same time, the sci-fi genre paints a dystopian future where robots have taken over. You have probably heard some of those myths. You may even find some of them believable. That's why we compiled a list of the 10 most common misconceptions about AI and debunked them with genuine pleasure. So, before you end up in a heated argument with your friends about whether there's a difference between AI and ML, scroll down and get the facts.


What Is a Deepfake?

#artificialintelligence

In the opening session of his 2020 introductory course on deep learning, Alexander Amini, a PhD student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), invited a famous guest: former US President Barack Obama. "Deep learning is revolutionizing so many fields, from robotics to medicine and everything in between," said Obama, who joined the class by video conference. After speaking a bit more on the virtues of artificial intelligence, Obama made an important revelation: "In fact, this entire speech and video are not real and were created using deep learning and artificial intelligence." Amini's Obama video was, in fact, a deepfake--an AI-doctored video in which the facial movements of an actor are transferred to that of a target. Since first appearing in 2018, deepfake technology has evolved from hobbyist experimentation to an effective and dangerous tool. Deepfakes have been used against celebrities and politicians and have become a threat to the very fabric of truth.
