[R] A systematic study of the class imbalance problem in convolutional neural networks • r/MachineLearning

@machinelearnbot

This is interesting, but I wish they also included precision somehow. AUC ROC can look good when precision is in fact not so good. And there are a lot of scenarios when precision might be important, so measuring impact on that would have been nice.


'X-Men: Apocalypse' Actor Michael Fassbender Marries 'Tomb Raider' Star Alicia Vikander

International Business Times

Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander just got married. The "X-Men: Apocalypse" actor and the "Ex Machina" star, who are notorious for keeping their romance under wraps, secretly got engaged and later secretly tied the knot as well, according to E! News. The couple reportedly exchanged "I do's" in Ibiza on Saturday, October 14. Fassbender and Vikander were seen entertaining relatives and friends over the weekend. On Friday, Fassbender and Vikander, along with their families and friends, were spotted at the beach, where they enjoyed lunch and went on a boat cruise.

Music etched onto the film of X-rays was the only way some rock-and-roll lovers in the former Soviet Union could listen to certain tunes. Now, people trade these old relics online and visit museums to see them. Go big in your home's smallest room. Want a clean, modern look? These shipping containers have left their itinerant lives as vessels that carried goods around the world, only to be reborn as structural and design elements of modern homes.


Eureka! Absolute Neural Network Discovered! • r/MachineLearning

@machinelearnbot

I discovered this neural network architecture (that I have named as Absolute Neural Network) while pondering over the thought: "Do we really use different parts of the brain while imagining something that we memorised?". I went on and investigated this question further and finally found the answer. We use the same part of the brain in the reverse direction while visualising an entity that we memorised in the forward direction. Key findings: 1.) A feed forward neural network can learn in both directions forward and backward. Seems ReLUs were just half correct.)


Self-Driving Cars Could Ease Traffic, but Increase Sprawl

U.S. News

The consulting group's study included a computer simulation of how downtown Boston traffic would change with the advent of self-driving taxis, buses and private cars. It would likely add vehicles to roads while simultaneously reducing traffic time.


This tool will help you build a chatbot

#artificialintelligence

This week's tool takes a step into the future, as our colleague Nick Saffan shares the bot-building tool he learned how to use at the Online News Association conference last week and the two bots he has already built with it. I might be saying this too soon, but I actually didn't catch the conference funk this time. Did you pick up anything? Hare: Only various and sundry things to drink from: A cool water bottle, a shot glass and, my favorite, a copper mug. The people behind the swag know our tribe well.



Could AI Be the Future of Fake News and Product Reviews?

#artificialintelligence

When Hillary Clinton's new book What Happened debuted on Amazon's Web site last month, the response was incredible. So incredible, that of the 1,600 reviews posted on the book's Amazon page in just a few hours, the company soon deleted 900 it suspected of being bogus: written by people who said they loved or hated the book, but had neither purchased nor likely even read it. Fake product reviews--prompted by payola or more nefarious motives--are nothing new, but they are set to become a bigger problem as tricksters find new ways of automating online misinformation campaigns launched to sway public opinion. Amazon has deleted nearly 1,200 reviews of What Happened since it debuted on September 12, according to ReviewMeta, a watchdog site that analyzes consumer feedback for products sold on Amazon.com. ReviewMeta gained some notoriety last year when, after evaluating seven million appraisals across Amazon, it called out the online retailer for allowing "incentivized" reviews by people paid to write five-star product endorsements.
