Self-Taught AI May Have a Lot in Common With the Human Brain
Neural networks can use self-supervised learning to figure out what matters. This process might be what helps humans do the same. FOR A DECADE now, many of the most impressive artificial intelligence systems have been taught using a huge inventory of labeled data. An image might be labeled “tabby cat” or “tiger cat,” for example, to …
BlenderBot 3: A 175B Parameter, Publicly Available Chatbot That Improves Its Skills And Safety Over Time
Today, we’re announcing that Meta AI has built and released BlenderBot 3, the first 175B-parameter, publicly available chatbot complete with model weights, code, datasets, and model cards. We’ve deployed it in a live interactive conversational AI demo here. BlenderBot 3 is capable of searching the internet to chat about virtually any topic, and it’s designed to learn how to improve its skills …
Researchers Discover Major Roadblock In Alleviating Network Congestion
When users want to send data over the internet faster than the network can handle, congestion can occur — the same way traffic congestion snarls the morning commute into a big city. Computers and devices that transmit data over the internet break the data down into smaller packets and use a special algorithm to decide …
Give This AI A Few Words Of Description And It Produces A Stunning Image – But Is It Art?
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but thanks to an artificial intelligence program called DALL-E 2, you can have a professional-looking image with far fewer. DALL-E 2 is a new neural network algorithm that creates a picture from a short phrase or sentence that you provide. The program, which was announced by the …
Machine Learning Is Important, But Some AIs Just Want To Have Fun
This video by the French computer programmer Damien Henry is a clever visual demonstration of machine learning – a term coined by the US computer scientist Arthur Samuel (1901-1990) to describe an algorithm that gives computers the ‘ability to learn without being explicitly programmed’. Using several videos recorded from windows during train rides, Henry trained an algorithm …
AI Reveals Unsuspected Math Underlying Search For Exoplanets
Artist’s concept of a sun-like star (left) and a rocky planet about 60% larger than Earth in orbit in the star’s habitable zone. Gravitational microlensing has the ability to detect such planetary systems and determine the masses and orbital distances, even though the planet itself is too dim to be seen.

Data Labeling for AI Products: How to Process Thousands of Data Labels
Today, the AI industry is on the rise – the global AI market is valued at over $40 billion and continues to grow at a rapid pace. The industry relies on three vital components for its development: (1) the hardware that provides computational power and virtual living space for Machine Learning (ML) algorithms; (2) the …
Stanford Engineers Develop Algorithm To Aid Kidney Transplant Exchanges
A historic kidney transplant exchange recently took place in the Middle East, but it might never have transpired without an algorithm developed at Stanford by Itai Ashlagi, a Stanford associate professor of management science and engineering, and his graduate student Sukolsak Sakshuwong. In all, three ailing recipients received life-sustaining transplants while three healthy donors gave kidneys. In …
10 Years Of Artificial Intelligence And Machine Learning
The pace of technological innovation has increased dramatically over the last century. Furthermore, over the last decade, advances in the information technology world have grown exponentially, especially in the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). These changes have a growing impact on our lives, affecting everything from entertainment to personal finances, to eLearning. Let’s look back …
Together, Human Expertise And AI Can Make City Streets Safer, Scientists Say
Scientists in Spain have used artificial intelligence to identify common patterns in road traffic accidents. They used machine learning and artificial neural networks to analyze hours of video footage and thousands of images of life in Madrid and Barcelona. The results suggest most accidents occur on city streets cluttered with features that distract drivers. AI …
