How Should We Approach A.I. in 2026?

The New Yorker

The rapid normalization of artificial intelligence is forcing a reckoning with how much of the future is being shaped by hype rather than utility. The writers Charles Duhigg, Cal Newport, and Anna Wiener join Tyler Foggatt for a conversation about artificial intelligence and the promises, myths, and anxieties surrounding it. The discussion was recorded before a live audience at The New Yorker Festival this fall. They explore the gap between Silicon Valley's sweeping claims and what generative A.I. can actually do today; how people are using the technology for work, creativity, and emotional support; and why the tech's most immediate political consequences may be the hardest to grapple with.

BooVAE: Boosting Approach for Continual Learning of VAE

Neural Information Processing Systems

Variational autoencoder (VAE) is a deep generative model for unsupervised learning, allowing to encode observations into the meaningful latent space. VAE is prone to catastrophic forgetting when tasks arrive sequentially, and only the data for the current one is available. We address this problem of continual learning for VAEs. It is known that the choice of the prior distribution over the latent space is crucial for VAE in the non-continual setting. We argue that it can also be helpful to avoid catastrophic forgetting.


Noise2Score: Tweedie's Approach to Self-Supervised Image Denoising without Clean Images

Neural Information Processing Systems

Recently, there has been extensive research interest in training deep networks to denoise images without clean reference.However, the representative approaches such as Noise2Noise, Noise2Void, Stein's unbiased risk estimator (SURE), etc. seem to differ from one another and it is difficult to find the coherent mathematical structure. To address this, here we present a novel approach, called Noise2Score, which reveals a missing link in order to unite these seemingly different approaches.Specifically, we show that image denoising problems without clean images can be addressed by finding the mode of the posterior distribution and that the Tweedie's formula offers an explicit solution through the score function (i.e. the gradient of loglikelihood). Our method then uses the recent finding that the score function can be stably estimated from the noisy images using the amortized residual denoising autoencoder, the method of which is closely related to Noise2Noise or Nose2Void. Our Noise2Score approach is so universal that the same network training can be used to remove noises from images that are corrupted by any exponential family distributions and noise parameters. Using extensive experiments with Gaussian, Poisson, and Gamma noises, we show that Noise2Score significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art self-supervised denoising methods in the benchmark data set such as (C)BSD68, Set12, and Kodak, etc.


Protected Test-Time Adaptation via Online Entropy Matching: A Betting Approach

Neural Information Processing Systems

We present a novel approach for test-time adaptation via online self-training, consisting of two components. First, we introduce a statistical framework that detects distribution shifts in the classifier's entropy values obtained on a stream of unlabeled samples. Second, we devise an online adaptation mechanism that utilizes the evidence of distribution shifts captured by the detection tool to dynamically update the classifier's parameters. The resulting adaptation process drives the distribution of test entropy values obtained from the self-trained classifier to match those of the source domain, building invariance to distribution shifts. This approach departs from the conventional self-training method, which focuses on minimizing the classifier's entropy.

#artificialintelligence

"Just Accepted" papers have undergone full peer review and have been accepted for publication in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence. This article will undergo copyediting, layout, and proof review before it is published in its final version. Please note that during production of the final copyedited article, errors may be discovered which could affect the content. To develop a multimodal machine learning-based pipeline to predict patient-specific risk of dislocation following primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study retrospectively evaluated 17,073 patients who underwent primary THA between 1998–2018.


Avito Demand Prediction

#artificialintelligence

In e-commerce, combinations of tiny, nuanced details of the product can build a massive difference in increasing the interest of a user to purchase a product or services. This leads to a problem in analyzing the demand of the product that the seller wants to sell. Avito is the most popular classifieds site in Russia and is the second biggest classifieds site in the world after Craigslist. The dataset provided for this case study has been created by the Avito's team itself and has various categorical features such as advertisement id, advertisement title, advertisement description, advertisement image, item_id, user_id, etc with deal_probablity as the target variable. Here the deal probability is the continuous variable which ranges from 0 to 1. Zeros indicate the least probabilities of the item to be purchased and 1 indicates the highest probabilities of the item to be purchased.


A "Glass Box" Approach to Responsible Machine Learning - insideBIGDATA

#artificialintelligence

Machine learning doesn't always have to be an abstruse technology. The multi-parameter and hyper-parameter methodology of complex deep neural networks, for example, is only one type of this cognitive computing manifestation. There are other machine learning varieties (and even some involving deep neural networks) in which the results of models, how they were determined, and which intricacies influenced them, are much more transparent. It all depends on how well organizations understand their data provenance. Comprehending just about everything that happened to training data for models, as well as that for the production data models encounter, is integral to explaining, refining, and improving their results.


How to do Object Recognition with TensorFlow(Keras) the Easiest way

#artificialintelligence

We can see that we have more than 20 Millions parameters, that only 132,613 of them are trainable, and all are in the last two layers. Finally, we fit the train data to the model and set the batch_size, epochs, and validation data to test the model's performance on the test set. NOTICE: usually, 32 is the best choice for batch_size, but if you want to change it, it is efficient to use the numbers produced by this formula: 2 n.


Artificial Intelligence is an "Anti-Concept"

#artificialintelligence

Your semanticist is dissatisfied today. This time it is the buzz phrase "artificial intelligence"--or "AI." While casting large shadow ideas about computing power, the term "AI" does more to obscure than clarify. People who write about innovative uses of computing should probably avoid it. The inspiration for the present jeremiad is a recent Foreign Affairs article entitled "A Force for the Future: A High-Reward, Low-Risk Approach to AI Military Innovation."
