r/MachineLearning - [P] A data platform to label using AI and share datasets
I'm working on a data labeling project to assist with the labeling and sharing of datasets. The goal is to minimize your time scraping the web for images and labeling data manually. Why let your side projects go to waste when you can share your datasets with others? I have included an AI powered annotation tool as well. Do check out https://hungryai.com/home and let me know what you think.
Singularity: How governments can halt the rise of unfriendly, unstoppable super-AI
The invention of an artificial super-intelligence has been a central theme in science fiction since at least the 19th century. From E.M. Forster's short story The Machine Stops (1909) to the recent HBO television series Westworld, writers have tended to portray this possibility as an unmitigated disaster. But this issue is no longer one of fiction. Prominent contemporary scientists and engineers are now also worried that super-AI could one day surpass human intelligence (an event known as the "singularity") and become humanity's "worst mistake." Current trends suggest we are set to enter an international arms race for such a technology.
The future of food: Why farming is moving indoors
A car park opposite the infamous New York City housing estate where rapper Jay-Z grew up seems an unlikely place for an agricultural revolution. Ten shipping containers dominate a corner of the Brooklyn parking area, each full of climate control tech, growing herbs that are distributed to local stores on bicycles. This is urban farming at its most literal. The containers are owned by Square Roots, part of America's fast-expanding vertical farming industry, a sector run by many tech entrepreneurs who believe food production is ripe for disruption. The world's best basil reputedly comes from Genoa, Italy. Square Roots grows Genovese seeds in a container that recreates the city's daylight hours, humidity, Co2 levels - and all fed hydroponically in nutrient-rich water.
r/MachineLearning - [D] Interview with two senior data scientists at Microsoft about deep learning
I was blown away by these two incredibly talented data scientists. Nothing inspires me more than having a conversation with people who are literally 10 times smarter than me. We discuss Mat's work on building out patterns for distributed deep learning on Azure. We talk about computer vision, interpretability, robustness, ML engineering and the democratisation of deep learning. Finishing off we discuss where the deep learning space is going in the next 5 years!
