Giving GPT-3 a Turing Test
I've been playing around with OpenAI's new GPT-3 language model. When I got beta access, the first thing I wondered was, how human is GPT-3? How close is it to passing a Turing test? Let me explain how exactly I'm generating these conversations. GPT-3 is a general language model, trained on a large amount of uncategorized text from the internet.
Artificial Intelligence to identify individual birds of same species
Differentiating between individuals of a same species is essential in the study of wild animals, their processes of adaptation and behaviour. Scientists from the CEFE research centre in Ecology and Evolutionary Ecology (CNRS/ Université de Montpellier/ Université Paul-Valéry-Montpellier/ IRD/ EPHE) and the Research Centre in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources (CIBIO) at Porto University have for the very first time identified individual birds with the help of artificial intelligence technology. They have developed a technique that enables them to gather a large number of photographs, taken from various angles, of individual birds wearing electronic tags. These images were fed into computers which used deep learning technology to recognise the birds by analysing the photographs. The computers were able to distinguish individual birds according to the patterns on their plumage, something humans can't do.
[Discussion] An openwebtext equivalent for papers on arxiv and other pre-print websites?
I was wondering if there are any on-going efforts to build a database such as openwebtext but for academic pre-print repositories such as arxiv and ssrn? Of course, having final versions of papers as published in journals or conferences would be best but that may prove harder to get. And then again, most authors always put the final version of the paper on the pre-print websites. I was thinking about how having a model such as GPT-3 but trained on domain knowledge from the above-mentioned pre-print sites, can help surface deep connections during the writing process. Imagine giving GPT-4 a latex code for your table and having it produce a discussion of the results and drawing insights between your numbers and other similar numbers as reported in the literature.
Step-by-step guide on how to train GPT-2 on books using Google Colab
We will use Google Drive to save our checkpoints (a checkpoint is our last saved trained model). Once our trained model is saved we can load it whenever we want to generate both conditional and unconditional texts. Now that you have your Google Drive connected let's create a checkpoints folder: Now let's clone the GPT-2 repository that we will use, which is forked from nnsheperd's awesome repository (which is forked from OpenAI's but with the awesome addition of train.py), I have added a conditional_model() method which will let us pass multiple sentences at once and return a dictionary with the relevant model output samples. It also lets us avoid using bash-code.
GPT-3 101: a brief introduction
Let's start with the basics. GPT-3 stands for Generative Pretrained Transformer version 3, and it is a sequence transduction model. Simply put, sequence transduction is a technique that transforms an input sequence to an output sequence. GPT-3 is a language model, which means that, using sequence transduction, it can predict the likelihood of an output sequence given an input sequence. This can be used, for instance to predict which word makes the most sense given a text sequence.
Intriguing IQ Tests to Measure the Intelligence of Your AI
The IQ test questions aren't challenging enough; so they added various shapes, lines of varying thickness, and colors, as distractions. The best performing model is the WReN model! This is due to the Relation Network module designed explicitly for reasoning about the relations between objects. After removing distractions, the WReN model performed notably better at 78.3%, compared with 62.6% with distractions! Mathematical reasoning is one of the core abilities of human intelligence.
Alibaba's Mobile Neural Network: A deep learning framework for mobile and embedded devices
Supporting deep learning inference on mobile and edge devices has gained popularity more than ever and we have a greater number of options to choose from when carrying out AI-related development tasks on our little companions than we could have guessed. Not only is implementing machine learning models--the standard for tasks such as computer vision--faster and easier on mobile devices these days, but the renewed competition between the developers of frameworks supporting them also seems to have ensured that the process itself reaches new heights in terms of performance, flexibility and adaptability. Not a big surprise considering how edge devices such as smartphones, wearables and IoT devices are omnipresent and tech companies all want in on the mobile ML development front. Performing deep learning activities directly on mobile devices has many benefits, such as low latency, security, and increased personalization to name a few. In order to make the best of these activities, inference engines specifically optimized for such devices have been cropping up.
Deep Learning for Signal Processing: What You Need to Know - KDnuggets
Computers, radios, videos, mobile phones are all enabled by signal processing. Signal Processing is a branch of electrical engineering that models and analyzes data representations of physical events. It is at the core of the digital world. Speech and audio, autonomous driving, image processing, wearable technology, and communication systems all work thanks to signal processing. And now, signal processing is starting to make some waves in deep learning.
Research Opens New Neural Network Model Pathway to Understanding the Brain
WIRE)--NTT Research, Inc., a division of NTT (TYO:9432), today announced that a research scientist in its Physics & Informatics (PHI) Lab, Dr. Hidenori Tanaka, was the lead author on a technical paper that advances basic understanding of biological neural networks in the brain through artificial neural networks. Titled "From deep learning to mechanistic understanding in neuroscience: the structure of retinal prediction," the paper was presented at NeurIPS 2019, a leading machine-learning, artificial intelligence (AI) and computational neuroscience conference, and published in Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 32 (NIPS 2019). Work on the paper originated at Stanford University, academic home of the paper's six authors when the research was performed. At the time, a post-doctoral fellow and visiting scholar at Stanford University, Dr. Tanaka joined NTT Research in December 2019. The underlying research aligns with the PHI Lab's mission to rethink the computer by drawing inspirations from computational principles of neural networks in the brain.
