In the paper, DeepMind describes how a descendant of the AI program that first conquered the board game Go has taught itself to play a number of other games at a superhuman level. After eight hours of self-play, the program bested the AI that first beat the human world Go champion; and after four hours Read more about DeepMind’s AI became a superhuman chess (and shogi and go) player in a few hours using generic reinforcement learning[…]

Coditany of Timeness” is a convincing lo-fi black metal album, complete with atmospheric interludes, tremolo guitar, frantic blast beats and screeching vocals. But the record, which you can listen to on Bandcamp, wasn’t created by musicians.Instead, it was generated by two musical technologists using a deep learning software that ingests a musical album, processes it, Read more about This frostbitten black metal album was created by an artificial intelligence[…]

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Informatics have defeated facial recognition on big social media platforms – by removing faces from photos and replacing them with automatically-painted replicas. As the team of six researchers explained in their arXiv paper this month, people who want to stay private often blur their photos, not knowing that Read more about Boffins craft perfect ‘head generator’ to beat facial recognition[…]

Facebook’s new “proactive detection” artificial intelligence technology will scan all posts for patterns of suicidal thoughts, and when necessary send mental health resources to the user at risk or their friends, or contact local first-responders. By using AI to flag worrisome posts to human moderators instead of waiting for user reports, Facebook can decrease how Read more about Facebook rolls out AI to detect suicidal posts before they’re reported[…]

A team of researchers from the University of Lyon, Purdue and Ubisoft have published a paper showing what may well be the future of creating video game worlds: an AI that is able to construct most of its own 3D landscapes. Similar to Nvidia’s work that is able to conjure its own celebrity mugshots, the Read more about Using Generative Adverserial Networks to create terrain maps[…]

NDA’s or confidentiality agreements are a fact of life if you’re in business. You’ve probably read tons of them, and you know more or less what you would accept.Of course you can hire a lawyer to review that NDA. And you know they’ll find faults and recommend changes to better protect you.But it’ll cost you, Read more about NDA Lynn: AI screens your NDAs[…]

Forward your scammer emails to Re:scam and here’s what happens. Source: Re:scam The AI bot assumes one of many identities with little mistakes and tries to keep the scammer busy with the email exchange for as long as possible using humor. Which reminds me of http://www.jollyrogertelco.com/ (seems to be down now), which had a number Read more about Re:scam and jolly roger – AI responses to phishing emails and telemarketers[…]

The clinical assessment of suicidal risk would be substantially complemented by a biologically based measure that assesses alterations in the neural representations of concepts related to death and life in people who engage in suicidal ideation. This study used machine-learning algorithms (Gaussian Naive Bayes) to identify such individuals (17 suicidal ideators versus 17 controls) with Read more about Machine learning of neural representations of suicide and emotion concepts identifies suicidal youth | Nature Human Behaviour[…]

Students at MIT in the US claim they have developed an algorithm for creating 3D objects and pictures that trick image-recognition systems into severely misidentifying them. Think toy turtles labeled rifles, and baseballs as cups of coffee. It’s well known that machine-learning software can be easily hoodwinked: Google’s AI-in-the-cloud can be misled by noise; protestors Read more about How we fooled Google’s AI into thinking a 3D-printed turtle was a gun[…]

group of University of Edinburgh boffins have turned CSI:Crime Scene Investigation scripts into a natural language training dataset.Their aim is to improve how bots understand what’s said to them – natural language understanding.Drawing on 39 episodes from the first five seasons of the series, Lea Freeman, Shay Cohen and Mirella Lapata have broken the scripts Read more about 39 episodes of ‘CSI’ used to build AI’s natural language model[…]

Learning from few examples and generalizing to dramatically different situations are capabilities of human visual intelligence that are yet to be matched by leading machine learning models. By drawing inspiration from systems neuroscience, we introduce a probabilistic generative model for vision in which message-passing based inference handles recognition, segmentation and reasoning in a unified way. Read more about A generative vision model that trains with high data efficiency and breaks text-based CAPTCHAs[…]

We describe a new training methodology for generative adversarial networks. The key idea is to grow both the generator and discriminator progressively, starting from low-resolution images, and add new layers that deal with higher resolution details as the training progresses. This greatly stabilizes the training and allows us to produce images of unprecedented quality, e.g., Read more about Nvidia uses Progressive Growing of GANs for Improved Quality, Stability, and Variation and makes photorealistic faces with them[…]
