Microsoft Build 2019 | Building Autonomous Systems with Machine Teaching
Microsoft Build 2019 | Building Autonomous Systems with Machine Teaching Session ID: THR3006 Building autonomous systems with traditional Machine Learning techniques is difficult. Machine Teaching is a new approach to building intelligence using deep reinforcement learning. Come to this session to learn how to use machine teaching to apply expert knowledge to create deep …
What Is Quantum Machine Learning And How Can It Help Us?
Artificial intelligence refers, among other things, to machines’ capacity to demonstrate some degree of what humans consider “intelligence”. This process is being driven by the rapid advancement of machine learning: getting machines to think for themselves rather than pre-programming them with an absolute concept. Take image recognition. Humans excel at this task, but it’s proved …
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 …
What Would It Mean For AI To Become Conscious?
As artificial intelligence systems take on more tasks and solve more problems, it’s hard to say which is rising faster: our interest in them or our fear of them. Futurist Ray Kurzweil famously predicted that “By 2029, computers will have emotional intelligence and be convincing as people.” We don’t know how accurate this prediction will …
Everyone Is Talking About AI—But Do They Mean the Same Thing?
In 2017, artificial intelligence attracted $12 billion of VC investment. We are only beginning to discover the usefulness of AI applications. Amazon recently unveiled a brick-and-mortar grocery store that has successfully supplanted cashiers and checkout lines with computer vision, sensors, and deep learning. Between the investment, the press coverage, and the dramatic innovation, “AI” has …
