Latest from MIT Tech Review – Synthetic data for AI
Last year, researchers at Data Science Nigeria noted that engineers looking to train computer-vision algorithms could choose from a wealth of data sets featuring Western clothing, but there were none for African clothing. The team addressed the imbalance by using AI to generate artificial images of African fashion—a whole new data set from scratch. Such…
Latest from MIT Tech Review – A new weather prediction model from Google combines AI with traditional physics
Google DeepMind researchers have built a new weather prediction model that combines machine learning with more conventional techniques, potentially yielding accurate forecasts at a fraction of the current cost. The model, called NeuralGCN and described in a paper in Nature today, bridges a divide that’s grown among weather prediction experts in the last several years. …
Latest from MIT : Injecting fairness into machine-learning models
If a machine-learning model is trained using an unbalanced dataset, such as one that contains far more images of people with lighter skin than people with darker skin, there is serious risk the model’s predictions will be unfair when it is deployed in the real world. But this is only one part of the problem….
Latest from Google AI – PI-ARS: Accelerating Evolution-Learned Visual-Locomotion with Predictive Information Representations
Posted by Wenhao Yu, Research Scientist, Robotics at Google, and Kuang-Huei Lee, Research Engineer, Google Research, Brain team Evolution strategy (ES) is a family of optimization techniques inspired by the ideas of natural selection: a population of candidate solutions are usually evolved over generations to better adapt to an optimization objective. ES has been applied…
Latest from MIT : The power of App Inventor: Democratizing possibilities for mobile applications
In June 2007, Apple unveiled the first iPhone. But the company made a strategic decision about iPhone software: its new App Store would be a walled garden. An iPhone user wouldn’t be able to install applications that Apple itself hadn’t vetted, at least not without breaking Apple’s terms of service. That business decision, however, left…
Latest from MIT Tech Review – Geoffrey Hinton, AI pioneer and figurehead of doomerism, wins Nobel Prize
Geoffrey Hinton, a computer scientist whose pioneering work on deep learning in the 1980s and ’90s underpins all of the most powerful AI models in the world today, has been awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in physics by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Speaking on the phone to the Academy minutes after the announcement,…
