OpenAI yesterday unveiled its Open AI Microscope, which provides visualizations of every significant layer and neuron in eight of today's most popular computer vision (CV) models. Interactions between neurons indicate the abilities of neural networks, and with machine learning trending toward increasingly complicated neural networks it is important for researchers to be able to quickly and easily conduct a closer inspection of these thousands of interactions. This is where AI Microscope comes in. Just as biologists gain insights into organisms by putting model specimens under their microscopes, AI Microscope was designed to help researchers analyze the features that form inside leading CV models. OpenAI explains that its Microscope models are composed of a graph of nodes -- neural network layers connected via edges.

IBM's mission is to help their clients change the way the world works. Each year, we showcase some of the biggest breakthroughs coming out of IBM Research's global labs – five technologies that they believe will fundamentally reshape business and society in the next five years. This innovation is informed by research taking place at IBM Labs, leading edge work taking place with our clients, and trends we see in the tech/business landscape. Later today, they'll introduce the scientists behind this year's 5 in 5 at a Science Slam held at the site of IBM's biggest client event of the year: Think 2018 in Las Vegas.
