Would you let AI choose your outfits?
My friend walks into the village hall, scene of my son's third birthday party, a mixture of panic and incredulity creeping across his face. "I didn't realise we were dressing up," he says, taking in my outfit. I'm wearing a mint-green tulle midi dress with sheer sleeves that balloon precociously and a tiered skirt that puffs out in such a way as to give me the appearance of either a Quality Street or a three-year-old at her own birthday party. It's not, if I'm entirely honest, the most practical of outfits for serving chocolate cake to 18 sticky-handed toddlers but, as I blurt out to my friend, keen to dispel any confusion, the avant-garde look wasn't actually my choice: it was AI's. My wardrobe is my identity, my refuge, my hobby, my happy place. Or, at least, it was.

Through depression, illness and a heck of a birthday party, video games have been our family's glue Dominik Diamond
There are now new, different rooms to fill with all the things and machines that keep a family functioning. Some of them, as ever, are games consoles. I wrote recently about the place that the ZX Spectrum occupied in our council house in Arbroath in the 80s. But we had a machine before that. A bizarre arcade box that came with a black and white TV and an assortment of Pong knockoffs.

Ambiguous Images With Human Judgments for Robust Visual Event Classification
Sanders, Kate, Kriz, Reno, Liu, Anqi, Van Durme, Benjamin
Contemporary vision benchmarks predominantly consider tasks on which humans can achieve near-perfect performance. However, humans are frequently presented with visual data that they cannot classify with 100% certainty, and models trained on standard vision benchmarks achieve low performance when evaluated on this data. To address this issue, we introduce a procedure for creating datasets of ambiguous images and use it to produce SQUID-E ("Squidy"), a collection of noisy images extracted from videos. All images are annotated with ground truth values and a test set is annotated with human uncertainty judgments. We use this dataset to characterize human uncertainty in vision tasks and evaluate existing visual event classification models. Experimental results suggest that existing vision models are not sufficiently equipped to provide meaningful outputs for ambiguous images and that datasets of this nature can be used to assess and improve such models through model training and direct evaluation of model calibration. These findings motivate large-scale ambiguous dataset creation and further research focusing on noisy visual data.

Georgia Tech at AAAI 2020
It's a situation familiar to anyone who's ever communicated with a voice assistant on a smart device. You pose a request: "Hey Voice Assistant, tell me a story about Georgia Tech." More often than not, you get a related response – "Georgia Tech is located in Atlanta, Georgia. Would you like me to provide you with directions?" – but one with slightly unnatural language and only limited information. Despite the enormous strides made in artificial intelligence to develop systems that can answer simple questions and requests, the kinds of natural conversational language humans have with each other when giving more complex directions or telling stories has thus far been out of reach.

The metaverse is coming. Cathy Hackl explains why we should care.
You may have heard of the metaverse -- but let's be honest: do you really know what that means? If you're unsure, you're not alone: The metaverse is hard to pinpoint. It doesn't even have a definition in the Merriam-Webster dictionary, Cathy Hackl, tells Freethink. A "Chief Metaverse Officer," Hackl is a professionally trained futurist and strategist, who has worked with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Magic Leap, and HTC VIVE, and helps brands understand how this new paradigm will affect their businesses. If you think of Web 1.0 as the internet that connected us to information, and Web 2.0 as the social-media iteration, which connects people, Web 3.0 (which we're now entering) is connecting people, places, and things, says Hackl. "Sometimes, these people, places, and things can be in a fully virtual or synthetic environment, or they could be in a physical world with some level of augmentation," she said.
