ai with ai: The (Creepy) Aristobots (part 2)

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-2/2.43b

This week, Microsoft Research and the University of Montreal show that machines can learn through interactive language by answering questions (question answering with interactive text, or QAit). The Allen Institute for AI’s Aristo system, a suite of eight solves, can pass (90%+) the New York 8th Grade regents science exams (for non-diagram, multiple-choice questions), and can exceed 83% on the 12th-grade exam, though Melanie Mitchell suggests the achievement may not be as profound as it seems. A “meta-research” paper from Milan and Klagenfurt takes a broader look at neural network research and highlights concerns of reproducibility (or lack thereof) as well as utility (or lack thereof, where simple heuristic methods can outperform the neural networks). From a workshop organized by Max Tegmark and Emilia Javorsky, a group of diverse authors produced a “possibility of a middle road” look at roadmapping a way ahead for Autonomous Weapons Systems. An opinion piece from Zachary Kallenborn on War on the Rocks looks at What If the US Military Neglects AI? A paper in Nature provides an overview of open-ended evolution, as a part of artificial life. Gary Marcus and Ernest Davis publish a book on Rebooting AI: Building AI We Can Trust. The 57th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics occurred at the end of July, and Kate Koidan provides a summary of the top trends. The IEEE ranks robot creepiness with the top 100 creepy robots. Booz Allen releases a documentary on the Dawn of Generation AI. And the Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC) will host an industry day conference on cyber, control systems, and machine learning in December.

ai with ai: Countering AI Classifiers, and Introducing Doubt to AI

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-13

Andy and Dave discuss a newly announced method of attack on the speech-to-text capability DeepSpeech, which introduces noise to an audio waveform so that the AI does not hear the original message, but instead hears a message that the attacker intends. They also discuss the introduction of probabilistic models to AI as a way for AI to "embrace uncertainty" and make better decisions (or perhaps doubt whether or not humans should remain alive). And finally, Andy and Dave discuss some recent applications of AI to different areas of scientific study, particularly in the examination of very large data sets.

ai with ai: Life Is Like a Box of Matrices

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-3/3-38

Andy and Dave start with COVID-related AI news, and efforts from the Roche Data Science Coalition for UNCOVER (the United Network for COVID-19 Data Exploration and Research), which includes a dataset of a curated collection of over 200 publicly available COVID-19 related datasets; efforts from Akai Kaeru are included. The Biomedical Engineering Society publishes an overview of emerging technologies to combat COVID-19. Zetane Systems uses machine learning to search the DrugVirus database and information from the National Center for Biotechnology to identify existing drugs that might be effective against COVID. And researchers at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research are using machine learning to narrow down a space of 41 million compounds to identify candidates for further testing. And the IEEE hosted a conference on 9 July, "Does your COVID-19 tracing app follow you forever?" In non-COVID-related AI news, MIT takes offline the TinyImages dataset, due to its inclusion of derogatory terms and images. The second (actually first) wrongful arrest from facial recognition technology (again by the Detroit Police Department) comes to light. Appen Limited releases its annual "State of AI and ML" report, with a look at how businesses are (or aren’t) considering AI technologies. Anaconda releases its 2020 State of Data Science survey results. And the International Baccalaureate Educational Foundation turn to machine learning algorithms to predict student grades, due to COVID-related cancelations of actual testing, and much to the frustration of numerous students and parents. Research from the Vector Institute and the University of Toronto tackles analogy and the Raven Progressive Matrices with an ensemble of three neural networks for objects, attributes, and relationships. Researchers at the University of Sydney and the Imperial College London have established CompEngine, a collection of time-series data (over 24,000 initially) from a variety of fields, and have placed them into a common feature space; CompEngine then self-organizes the information based on empirical properties. Garfinkel, Shevtsov, and Guo make Modeling Life available for free. Meanwhile, Russell and Norvig release the not-so-free 4th Edition of AI: A Modern Approach. Lex Fridman interviews Norvig in a video podcast. And Elias Henriksen creates the Computer Prophet, which generates metaphors from a database of collected sayings.

cna talks: Linking Supply Chains After a Disaster

/our-media/podcasts/cna-talks/2019/7/linking-supply-chains-after-a-disaster

With the hurricane season around the corner, this episode of CNA Talks explores the importance of supply chains and communication in the aftermath of a disaster. CNA’s Delilah Barton and Lars Hanson are experts in emergency preparedness, strategy and planning. They discuss CNA’s work helping cities, states and the federal government respond to disasters.

Management Professional.  Lars Hanson serves as a research scientist at CNA. He is an expert in infrastructure systems, natural resources, planning and decision support, environmental modeling, disaster ... water stress analysis, environmental impacts of energy infrastructure development, and energy-water nexus analysis for the power sector.

cna talks: A New Tool to Protect First Responders

/our-media/podcasts/cna-talks/2024/01/a-new-tool-to-protect-first-responders

As cities across the country become more networked and connected with smart sensors, more data is available to first responders than ever before. But how can this data be interpreted efficiently in emergencies where every second counts? In this episode, John Crissman and Shaelynn Hales from CNA and Godfrey Nolan, founder and CEO of RIIS LLC, join the show. We discuss their award-winning First Responder Awareness Monitoring during Emergencies (FRAME) System, which takes in data from these sensors, uses machine learning to interpret the information, and aggregates that into a common data view to increase emergency situational awareness.
