Deep Learning without Backpropagation
A machine learning craftsmanship blog.
YC AI
Some think the excitement around Artificial Intelligence is overhyped. They might be right. But if they’re wrong, we’re on the precipice of something really big. We can’t afford to ignore what might be the biggest technological leap since the Internet. In an effort to usher in more innovation with AI, Y Combinator is…
Building Safe AI: A Tutorial on Homomorphically Encrypted Deep Learning
A machine learning craftsmanship blog.
Training agents to invent a language
In this post we’ll outline new OpenAI research in which agents develop their own language.
An Upgrade to SyntaxNet, New Models and a Parsing Competition
Posted by David Weiss and Slav Petrov, Research ScientistsAt Google, we continuously improve the language understanding capabilities used in applic...
Introducing Keras 2
Keras was released two years ago, in March 2015. It then proceeded to grow from one user to one hundred thousand.
Enabling Continual Learning in Neural Networks
Computer programs that learn to perform tasks also typically forget them very quickly. We show that the learning rule can be modified so that a program can remember old tasks when learning a new one. This is an important step towards more intelligent programs that are able to learn progressively and adaptively.
Reaching new records in speech recognition
IBM Watson Speech to Text converts audio into accurate text, enabling real-time transcription, captions and insights with scalable AI APIs.
The Amazing Power of Word Vectors (2016)
For today’s post, I’ve drawn material not just from one paper, but from five! The subject matter is ‘word2vec’ – the work of Mikolov et al. at Google on efficient vect…
Should economists be more concerned about AI?
Mauricio Armellini and Tim Pike. This post highlights some of the possible economic implications of the so-called “Fourth Industrial Revolution” — whereby the use of new technologies and artificial…
ReBreakCaptcha: Breaking Google’s ReCaptcha v2 Using Google
TL;DR A logic vulnerability, dubbed ReBreakCaptcha, which lets you easily bypass Google’s ReCaptcha v2 anywhere on the web. Overview Back in 2016, I started poking around to see how hard it w…
Google Research and Daydream Labs: Seeing eye to eye in mixed reality
Virtual reality lets you experience amazing things—from exploring new worlds, to painting with trails of stars, to defending your fleet to save the world. But, headsets …
GPUs Are Now Available for Google Compute Engine and Cloud Machine Learning
Google Cloud Platform gets a performance boost today with the much anticipated public beta of NVIDIA Tesla K80 GPUs . You can now spin up NVIDIA GPU-based VMs in three GCP regions: us-east1, asia-east1 and europe-west1, using the gcloud command-line tool. Support for creating GPU VMs using the Cloud Console appears…
Welcome to the New AWS AI Blog
If you ask 100 people for the definition of “artificial intelligence,” you’ll get at least 100 answers, if not more. At AWS, we define it as a service or system which can perform tasks that usually require human-level intelligence such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision making, or translation. On this…
Attacking machine learning with adversarial examples
Adversarial examples are inputs to machine learning models that an attacker has intentionally designed to cause the model to make a mistake; they’re like optical illusions for machines. In this post we’ll show how adversarial examples work across different mediums, and will discuss why securing systems against them…
