arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

This paper presents a method of validation of the size of the largest collision-free sphere (CFS) of a 6-6 Stewart-Gough platform manipulator (SGPM) for a given orientation of its moving platform (MP) using the Application Programming Interface (API) of a CAD software. The position of the MP is updated via the API in an automated manner over a set of samples within a shell enclosing the surface of the CFS. For each pose of the manipulator, each pair of legs is investigated for mutual collisions. The CFS is considered safe or validated iff none of the points falling inside the CFS lead to a collision between any pair of legs. This approach can not only validate the safety of a precomputed CFS, but also estimate the same for any spatial parallel manipulator.


Towards Machine-Generated Code for the Resolution of User Intentions

The growing capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), prompt a reassessment of the interaction mechanisms between users and their devices. Currently, users are required to use a set of high-level applications to achieve their desired results. However, the advent of AI may signal a shift in this regard, as its capabilities have generated novel prospects for user-provided intent resolution through the deployment of model-generated code. This development represents a significant progression in the realm of hybrid workflows, where human and artificial intelligence collaborate to address user intentions, with the former responsible for defining these intentions and the latter for implementing the solutions to address them. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of generating and executing workflows through code generation that results from prompting an LLM with a concrete user intention, and a simplified application programming interface for a GUI-less operating system. We provide an in-depth analysis and comparison of various user intentions, the resulting code, and its execution. The findings demonstrate the general feasibility of our approach and that the employed LLM, GPT -4o-mini, exhibits remarkable proficiency in the generation of code-oriented workflows in accordance with provided user intentions.


What is Machine Learning as a Service? Benefits And Top MLaaS Platforms

#artificialintelligence

Machine learning uses statistical analysis to generate prediction output without requiring explicit programming. It employs a chain of algorithms that learn to interpret the relationship between datasets to achieve its goal. Unfortunately, most data scientists are not software engineers, which can make it difficult to scale up to meet the needs of a growing firm. Data scientists can easily handle these complications thanks to Machine Learning as a Service (MLaaS). Machine Learning as a service (MLaaS) has recently gained much traction due to its benefits to data science, machine learning engineering, data engineering, and other machine learning professionals.


Deepfakes expose vulnerabilities in certain facial recognition technology

#artificialintelligence

Mobile devices use facial recognition technology to help users quickly and securely unlock their phones, make a financial transaction or access medical records. But facial recognition technologies that employ a specific user-detection method are highly vulnerable to deepfake-based attacks that could lead to significant security concerns for users and applications, according to new research involving the Penn State College of Information Sciences and Technology. The researchers found that most application programming interfaces that use facial liveness verification--a feature of facial recognition technology that uses computer vision to confirm the presence of a live user--don't always detect digitally altered photos or videos of individuals made to look like a live version of someone else, also known as deepfakes. Applications that do use these detection measures are also significantly less effective at identifying deepfakes than what the app provider has claimed. "In recent years we have observed significant development of facial authentication and verification technologies, which have been deployed in many security-critical applications," said Ting Wang, associate professor of information sciences and technology and one principal investigator on the project.


Amazon Mechanical Turk - Wikipedia

#artificialintelligence

Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is a crowdsourcing website for businesses (known as Requesters) to hire remotely located "crowdworkers" to perform discrete on-demand tasks that computers are currently unable to do. It is operated under Amazon Web Services, and is owned by Amazon.[1] Employers post jobs known as Human Intelligence Tasks (HITs), such as identifying specific content in an image or video, writing product descriptions, or answering questions, among others. Workers, colloquially known as Turkers or crowdworkers, browse among existing jobs and complete them in exchange for a rate set by the employer. To place jobs, the requesting programs use an open application programming interface (API), or the more limited MTurk Requester site.[2] As of April 2019, Requesters could register from only 49 approved countries.[3]

Currently, the development of computer games has shown a tremendous surge. The ease and speed of internet access today have also influenced the development of computer games, especially computer games that are played online. Internet technology has allowed computer games to be played in multiplayer mode. Interaction between players in a computer game can be built in several ways, one of which is by providing balanced opponents. Opponents can be developed using intelligent agents. On the other hand, research on developing intelligent agents is also growing rapidly. In computer game development, one of the easiest ways to measure the performance of an intelligent agent is to develop a virtual environment that allows the intelligent agent to interact with other players. In this research, we try to develop an intelligent agent and virtual environment for the board game. To be easily accessible, the intelligent agent and virtual environment are then developed into an Application Programming Interface (API) service called Gapoera API. The Gapoera API service that is built is expected to help game developers develop a game without having to think much about the artificial intelligence that will be embedded in the game. This service provides a basic multilevel intelligent agent that can provide users with playing board games commonly played in Indonesia. Although the Gapoera API can be used for various types of games, in this paper, we will focus on the discussion on a popular traditional board game in Indonesia, namely Mancala. The test results conclude that the multilevel agent concept developed has worked as expected. On the other hand, the development of the Gapoera API service has also been successfully accessed on several game platforms.

Warikoo responded from his @warikoo handle: "I will now spend the rest of my life stating that my thoughts are not GPT-3 generated." In reality, Khattar's tweets were generated after running it through Warikoo's past Twitter content--with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI), Natural Language Programming (NLP) model called Generative Pre-Trained Transformer 3.0, or GPT-3, that is making waves on the internet for its ability to generate human-like text. Consider this paragraph: "In a strange way, an AI could help us all come together, but at what point does this relationship of human and machine start to undermine who we are as a species? Where do we draw the line between human and machine?" Amazingly, even these questions have been generated by an AI language model and not a human.
