Neural network models are known to reinforce hidden data biases, making them unreliable and difficult to interpret. We seek to build models that `know what they do not know' by introducing inductive biases in the function space. We show that periodic activation functions in Bayesian neural networks establish a connection between the prior on the network weights and translation-invariant, stationary Gaussian process priors. Furthermore, we show that this link goes beyond sinusoidal (Fourier) activations by also covering triangular wave and periodic ReLU activation functions. In a series of experiments, we show that periodic activation functions obtain comparable performance for in-domain data and capture sensitivity to perturbed inputs in deep neural networks for out-of-domain detection.

We can achieve this goal in the simplest way possible with deep learning in place. Technology has progressed to the point where a machine may be programmed to replicate human behavior. We can achieve this goal in the simplest way possible with deep learning in place. Deep learning offers a wide range of applications in practically every field imaginable. Let's have a look at the…

By the end of this 10-minute read, you will hopefully have a comprehensive overview of Artificial Intelligence (AI). We'll try our best to give you straightforward and relatable answers on this quite heavy subject. After defining AI and its subfields, we will have a look into the brief history, current use cases, most common fears, and mind-boggling predictions for the future. We encourage you to dig deeper into the 10 great resources we have listed for you at the end of this article. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE HAS BECOME THE NEW BUZZWORD leaving IoT, Big Data, Automation, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality in shade.

Perhaps you heard recently about a new algorithm that can drive a car? Or scan a picture and find your face in a crowd? It seems as though every week companies are finding new uses for algorithms that adapt as they encounter new data. Last year Wired quoted an ex-Google employee as saying that "Everything in the company is really driven by machine learning." Machine learning has tremendous potential to transform companies, but in practice it's mostly far more mundane than robot drivers and chefs.

It is very likely that you've heard all the buzz that has been going lately about the chatbots, and how they're going to revolutionize everything in the coming years, but if you haven't, let me guide you through the revolution. Well, fear no more, dear reader, this is (part one of) all you need to know about chatbots. In general terms, a bot is a piece of software that automates a task, but talking specifically about chatbots, we come to the concept of automating an interaction through a conversational UI. But don't mind my fancy wording. Chatbots are a way in which you can automate a written conversation, simulating an interaction between two real human beings.

JEEVES's success depended crucially on JEEVES's visual range was extremely JEEVES as successful as it was? JEEVES's success was that its software JEEVES's hardware was designed and built by JEEVES can reverse the direction of the brush. It is equipped with seven ultrasonic proximity sensors (only five were used in the competition), a wide-angle color camera, and a high-speed colorbased vision system manufactured by Newton Research Labs. Prior to the competition, the vision system was trained to recognize yellow tennis balls, pink squiggle balls, and cyan markers that marked the gate. The vision system proved extremely reliable during the competition, benefiting from clear color cues provided by the objects.

"Can we actually know the universe? My God, it's hard enough finding your way around Chinatown." "Know then thyself, presume not God to scan; The proper study of mankind is man." The field of AI is directed at the fundamental problem of how the mind works; its approach, among other things, is to try to simulate its working--in bits and pieces. History shows us that mankind has been trying to do this for certainly hundreds of years, but the blooming of current computer technology has sparked an explosion in the research we can now do. The center of AI is the wonderful capacity we call learning, which the field is paying increasing attention to. Learning is difficult and easy, complicated and simple, and most research doesn't look at many aspects of its complexity. However, we in the AI field are starting. Let us now celebrate the efforts of our forebears and rejoice in our own efforts, so that our successors can thrive in their research. This article is the substance, edited and ...

The Second International Workshop on Human and Machine Cognition was held on 9-11 May 1991. Participation was limited to 40 researchers who are principally involved in computer science, philosophy, and psychology. The workshop focused on the foundational and methodological concerns of those who want to forge a robust and scientifically respectable AI and cognitive science. With the theme of "What do androids know, and when do they know it?" The debate between the traditional AI and the situated cognition types and the connnectionists was a focal point for discussion during the workshop.

Alan Turing's decades-old question still influences artificial intelligence because of the simple test he proposed in his article in Mind. In this article, AI Magazine collects presentations about the first round of the classic Turing Test of machine intelligence, held November 8, 1991 at The Computer Museum, Boston. Robert Epstein, Director Emeritus, Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies, and an adjunct professor of psychology, Boston University, University of Massachusetts (Amherst), and University of California (San Diego) summarizes some of the difficult issues during the planning of this first real-time competition, and describes the event. Presented in tandem with Dr. Epstein's article is the actual transcript of session that won the Loebner Prize Competition--Joseph Weintraub's computer program PC Therapist. In 1985 an old friend, Hugh Loebner, told me excitedly that the Turing Test should be made into an annual contest.
