Deep Learning and Compression
This is part of a series of articles in AI Codecs. While digital media are transmitted in a wide variety of settings, the available codecs are "one-size-fits-all": they are hard-coded, and cannot be customized to particular use cases beyond high-level hyperparameter tuning [10]. In the last few years, deep learning has revolutionized many tasks such as machine translation, speech recognition, face recognition, natural language processing and photo-realistic image generation. Given unlabeled training data, deep learning based models generate new samples from the input data distribution [6]. These are called deep generative models and have powerful capabilities such as extracting features by learning a low-dimension feature representation of the input space and sampling to generate, restore, predict or compress data.
Camels, Code & Lab Coats: How AI Is Advancing Science and Medicine
Artificial intelligence (AI) is already a part of our everyday lives – from search, to translate, to finding all the dog photos we've ever taken. Soon, it will also have a major impact on our health and wellbeing. For the past few years, Google researchers have been exploring ways these same technologies could help advance the fields of medicine and science, working with scientists, doctors, and others in the field. In this video, we share a few early research projects that have big potential. Check out the description below for more info on each project.
Infusing Machines with Intelligence - Part 1
"Learning", "thinking", "intelligence", even "cognition"… Such words were once reserved for humans (and to a lesser extent, other highly complex animals), but have now seemingly been extended to a "species" of machines, machines infused with artificial intelligence or "AI". In October 2015, a computer program developed by Google DeepMind, named AlphaGo, defeated the incumbent European champion at the complex ancient Chinese board game of Go. In March 2016, AlphaGo went on to defeat the world champion, Lee Sedol. This seminal moment caught the world's attention, the media have since been incessantly covering every AI-related story, and companies from all walks of life have since been on a mission to add "artificial intelligence" to their business description. At Platinum we have been closely following the major technological trends for many years.
