DeepMind is developing one algorithm to rule them all

#artificialintelligence

The Transform Technology Summits start October 13th with Low-Code/No Code: Enabling Enterprise Agility. DeepMind wants to enable neural networks to emulate algorithms to get the best of both worlds, and it's using Google Maps as a testbed. Classical algorithms are what have enabled software to eat the world, but the data they work with does not always reflect the real world. Deep learning is what powers some of the most iconic AI applications today, but deep learning models need retraining to be applied in domains they were not originally designed for. DeepMind is trying to combine deep learning and algorithms, creating the one algorithm to rule them all: a deep learning model that can learn how to emulate any algorithm, generating an algorithm-equivalent model that can work with real-world data.


Deep learning helps predict traffic crashes before they happen

#artificialintelligence

Today's world is one big maze, connected by layers of concrete and asphalt that afford us the luxury of navigation by vehicle. For many of our road-related advancements โ€“ GPS lets us fire fewer neurons thanks to map apps, cameras alert us to potentially costly scrapes and scratches, and electric autonomous cars have lower fuel costs โ€“ our safety measures haven't quite caught up. We still rely on a steady diet of traffic signals, trust, and the steel surrounding us to safely get from point A to point B. To get ahead of the uncertainty inherent to crashes, scientists from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and the Qatar Center for Artificial Intelligence developed a deep learning model that predicts very high-resolution crash risk maps. Fed on a combination of historical crash data, road maps, satellite imagery, and GPS traces, the risk maps describe the expected number of crashes over a period of time in the future, to identify high-risk areas and predict future crashes. Typically, these types of risk maps are captured at much lower resolutions that hover around hundreds of meters, which means glossing over crucial details since the roads become blurred together.


Artificial intelligence is becoming a 'force multiplier' -- for good and bad

#artificialintelligence

AI safety issues are becoming increasingly important. Google DeepMind and Faculty, both based in London, are devoting considerable resources to this area. But Anthropic, a San Francisco-based startup research company spun out of OpenAI, and some academic labs, including the Future of Humanity Institute in Oxford, are building expert teams in this field. "There is so little scrutiny over building very, very powerful software systems," says Hogarth. "We can plausibly have systems that exceed human capabilities in 30 years but there are fewer than 200 people in the world working on oversight and regulation."


GPT-J: A Conversation with Kanye West

#artificialintelligence

While the world impatiently awaited Kanye West's new album, "DONDA", to drop, Wesam Jawich, a software engineer at Google, had an idea. What if we could just ask the outspoken artist when the album was dropping? So the idea was born to create an AI that would simulate a text conversation with Ye. The first step was to create a dataset of Kanye West dialogue to train GPT-J on. The dataset used was a compilation of Kanye interview transcripts, tweets, lyrics, and manufactured conversations.


How to Evaluate if Deep Learning Is Right For You

#artificialintelligence

Deep learning is one of the hottest trends in artificial intelligence right now. It's also one of the most difficult to understand, so you must know what deep learning can do for your business before you start implementing it. This blog post will discuss how to evaluate when deep learning is right for you and what benefits it may provide. Deep learning is also known as deep neural networks. That's because it mimics the neural networks in your brain that you use to think and learn, which can be considered layers or sections stacked on top of each other. There may be several hidden layers between the input data (e.g., an image) and the output (e.g., an object or face) with deep learning.


How Organizations Make Sense of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence Strategy

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) helps organizations to make timely and accurate decisions from data in almost every field of study. The volume of data keeps growing. Statista believes that 59 Zettabytes were produced in 2020 and that 74 Zettabytes will be produced in 2021. A Zettabyte is a trillion gigabytes! Artificial Intelligence (AI) deals with the area of developing computing systems which are capable of performing tasks that humans are very good at, for example recognising objects, recognising and making sense of speech, and decision making in a constrained environment.


Disentangling AI, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning

#artificialintelligence

Deep learning is a subset of machine learning, which in turn is a subset of artificial intelligence, but the origins of these names arose from an interesting history. In addition, there are fascinating technical characteristics that can differentiate deep learning from other types of machine learningโ€ฆessential working knowledge for anyone with ML, DL, or AI in their skillset. If you are looking to improve your skill set or steer business/research strategy in 2021, you may come across articles decrying a skills shortage in deep learning. A few years ago, you would have read the same about a shortage of professionals with machine learning skills, and just a few years before that the emphasis would have been on a shortage of data scientists skilled in "big data." Likewise, we've heard Andrew Ng telling us for years that "AI is the new electricity", and the advent of AI in business and society is constantly suggested to have an impact similar to that of the industrial revolution.

How You Can Use GPT-J

#artificialintelligence

Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) models, the likes of which GPT-J and GPT-3 belong to, have taken the NLP community by storm. These powerful language models excel at performing various NLP tasks like question-answering, entity extraction, categorization, and summarization without any supervised training. They require very few to no examples to understand a given task and outperform state-of-the-art models trained in a supervised fashion. GPT-J is a 6-billion parameter transformer-based language model released by a group of AI researchers called EleutherAI in June 2021. The goal of the group since forming in July of 2020 is to open-source a family of models designed to replicate those developed by OpenAI.


Nvidia and Microsoft's new model may trump GPT-3 in race to NLP supremacy

#artificialintelligence

Chipmaker Nvidia and Microsoft claim they have built the world's largest artificial intelligence (AI) powered language model to date. The model, called the Megatron-Turing Natural Language Generation (MT-NLP) is a successor to the two companies' earlier work, which gave rise to the Turing NLG 17B and Megatron-LM models. It contains 530 parameters, which the companies claim will bring "unmatched" accuracy when the AI is put to work on natural learning tasks. This includes reading, common sense reasoning, word sense disambiguation and natural language inferences. In comparison to MT-NLP, OpenAI's GPT-3 AI has only 175 billion parameters.
