If you are looking for an answer to the question What is Artificial Intelligence? and you only have a minute, then here's the definition the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence offers on its home page: "the scientific understanding of the mechanisms underlying thought and intelligent behavior and their embodiment in machines."

However, if you are fortunate enough to have more than a minute, then please get ready to embark upon an exciting journey exploring AI (but beware, it could last a lifetime) …

Nutshell: MaskConnect-Connectivity Learning by Gradient Descent

#artificialintelligenceAug-15-2021, 06:25:12 GMT

What does this paper achieve? It introduces an algorithm to learn connections between blocks in deep learning networks. A connection between blocks i and j (i precedes j in the network) indicates that output from i is added to the input to j (which may be getting input from other blocks). How does this help us? This algorithm can be used to determine connections between blocks in existing CNNs that would improve performance, as the authors have demonstrated for ResNet and ResNext in the paper.
