AI Safety Needs Social Scientists
We've written a paper arguing that long-term AI safety research needs social scientists to ensure AI alignment algorithms succeed when actual humans are involved. Properly aligning advanced AI systems with human values requires resolving many uncertainties related to the psychology of human rationality, emotion, and biases. The aim of this paper is to spark further collaboration between machine learning and social science researchers, and we plan to hire social scientists to work on this full time at OpenAI. The goal of long-term artificial intelligence (AI) safety is to ensure that advanced AI systems are aligned with human values -- that they reliably do things that people want them to do. At OpenAI we hope to achieve this by asking people questions about what they want, training machine learning (ML) models on this data, and optimizing AI systems to do well according to these learned models.
The complete guide to start your DataScience/AI journey.
Data Science / AI / Machine Learning / Deep Learning, all those fields are currently being defined. So the first thing to learn is the faculty to be always active in learning. Google it (or use any other search engine as Qwant or Ecosia)! Be careful about your sources, since AI is a new field you may see a lot of different and sometimes contradictory information. No one has the absolute truth here about definitions or knowledge.
Top Trends for Data Science in 2019
So there's been a lot of coverage by various websites, data science gurus, and AI experts about what 2019 holds in store for us. Everywhere you look, we have new fads and concepts for the new year. This article is going to be rather different. We are going to highlight the dark horses โ the trends that no one has thought about but will completely disrupt the working IT environment (for both good and bad โ depends upon which side of the disruption you are on), in a significant manner. So, in order to give you a taste of what's coming up, let's go through the top four (plus 1 (bonus) five) top trends of 2019 for data science: This single innovation is going to change the way machine learning works in the real world.
Adversarial Attacks on Deep Neural Networks: an Overview
In 2014, a group of researchers at Google and NYU found that it was far too easy to fool ConvNets with an imperceivable, but carefully constructed nudge in the input [1]. Let's look at an example. We start with an image of a panda, which our neural network correctly recognizes as a "panda" with 57.7% confidence. Add a little bit of carefully constructed noise and the same neural network now thinks this is an image of a gibbon with 99.3% confidence! This is, clearly, an optical illusion -- but for the neural network.
Intel's neuro guru slams deep learning: 'it's not actually learning' ZDNet
"Backpropogation doesn't correlate to the brain," insists Mike Davies, head of Intel's neuromorphic computing unit, dismissing one of the key tools of the species of A.I. Davies made the comment during a talk on Thursday at the International Solid State Circuits Conference in San Francisco, a prestigious annual gathering of semiconductor designers. Davies was returning fire after Facebook's Yann LeCun, a leading apostle of deep learning, earlier in the week dismissed Davies's own technology during LeCun's opening keynote for the conference. "The brain is the one example we have of truly intelligent computation," observed Davies. In contrast, so-called back-prop, invented in the 1980s, is a mathematical technique used to optimize the response of artificial neurons in a deep learning computer program. Although deep learning has proven "very effective," Davies told a ballroom of attendees, "there is no natural example of back-prop," he said, so it doesn't correspond to what one would consider real learning.
Integrating Deep Learning with GIS โ GeoAI โ Medium
The field of Artificial Intelligence has made rapid progress in recent years, matching or in some cases, even surpassing human accuracy at tasks such as computer vision, natural language processing and machine translation. The intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and GIS is creating massive opportunities that weren't possible before. AI, machine learning and deep learning are helping us make a better world by helping increase crop yield through precision agriculture, to fighting crime by deploying predictive policing models, to predicting when the next big storm will hit and being better equipped to handle it. Broadly speaking, AI is the ability of computers to perform a task that typically requires some level of human intelligence. Machine learning is one type of engine that makes this possible.
What is PyTorch and how does it work? Packt Hub
PyTorch is a Python-based scientific computing package that uses the power of graphics processing units. It is also one of the preferred deep learning research platforms built to provide maximum flexibility and speed. It is known for providing two of the most high-level features; namely, tensor computations with strong GPU acceleration support and building deep neural networks on a tape-based autograd systems. There are many existing Python libraries which have the potential to change how deep learning and artificial intelligence are performed, and this is one such library. One of the key reasons behind PyTorch's success is it is completely Pythonic and one can build neural network models effortlessly.
AI Interprets What Rodents are Saying
Artificial intelligence (AI) has improved greatly in recent years largely due to advances in deep learning, a method of machine-based learning. Deep learning's superior pattern-recognition has spawned a number of advancements in computer vision, translation, speech recognition, and other purposes. Deep learning algorithms are being applied in many industries for a variety of purposes. Last month, researchers in the Psychiatry and Behavioral Science department at the University of Washington School of Medicine announced the creation of "DeepSqueak," a deep learning system that can detect and analyze the vocalizations of rodents. Modern science, depends on laboratory rodents to serve as mammalian proxies to human test subjects.
