The Cutting Edge of AI — Part 2

Notes from day two of Exponential View talks and panels at CogX Festival, 11–12 June, London

This AI program could beat you in an argument — but it doesn’t know what it’s saying

The latest human-versus-machine matchup involves an argumentative AI system.

Adobe is using machine learning to make it easier to spot Photoshopped images

New research uses AI to automate traditional digital forensics

Exploring Tensorflow for Poets, or, Building a Pottery Classifier

In our recent paper, ‘Fleshing Out the Bones’ we used the trained ‘Inception 3’ model as a way of determining clusters of images that we then studied for clues and hints: why did the machine cluster them this way? What are the common features?

Google Deep Mind’s Bogus AI Patent Filings

politically weird stuff related to Google Deep Mind

Is There a Smarter Path to Artificial Intelligence? Some Experts Hope So

Benjamin Grosof is the chief scientist at Kyndi, a Silicon Valley start-up that is using a decades-old programming language to develop software that can generate facts, concepts and inferences from small amounts of data.

Facebook open sources DensePose

Facebook AI Research (FAIR) open sourced DensePose, our real-time approach for mapping all human pixels of 2D RGB images to a 3D surface-based model of the body.

Bias detectives: the researchers striving to make algorithms fair

As machine learning infiltrates society, scientists are trying to help ward off injustice.

Food Discovery with Uber Eats: Building a Query Understanding Engine

At Uber Eats, we strive to help eaters find the exact food they want as effortlessly as possible.

Metacar

A reinforcement learning environment for self-driving cars in the browser.

Rebooting AI — Postulates

Since there is now more attention to what I have to offer, I decided to write down in a condensed form what I think is wrong with our approach to AI and what could we fix.

Alibaba v. Tencent: The Battle for Supremacy in China

Jack Ma of Alibaba and Pony Ma of Tencent have built tech titans that dominate China’s digital economy. Is the world big enough for both of them?

The Unbearable Awkwardness of Automation

The machine age is changing the nature of work. In the process, it is also transforming buildings, and making them less hospitable for human use.

A List of Chip/IP for Deep Learning (keep updating)

Machine Learning, especially Deep Learning technology is driving the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI). At the beginning, deep learning has primarily been a software play. Start from the year 2016, the need for more efficient hardware acceleration of AI/ML/DL was recognized in academia and industry. This year, we saw more and more players, including world’s top semiconductor companies as well as a number of startups, even tech giants Google, have jumped into the race. I believe that it could be very interesting to look at them together. So, I build this list of AI/ML/DL ICs and IPs on Github and keep updating. If you have any suggestion or new information, please let me know.
