ai with ai: A Neural Reading rAInbow

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-2/2-19

Andy and Dave discuss research from Neil Johnson, who looked to the movements of fly larvae to model financial systems, where a collection of agents share a common goal, but have no way to communicate and coordinate their activities (a memory of five past events ends up being the ideal balance). Researchers at Carnegie Mellon demonstrate that random search with early-stopping is a competitive Neural Architecture Search baseline, performing at least as well as “Efficient” NAS. Unrelated research, but near-simultaneously published, from AI Lab Swisscom, shows that random search outperforms state-of-the-art NAS algorithms. Researchers at DeepMind investigate the possibility of creating an agent that can discover its world, and introduce NDIGO (Neural Differential Information Gain Optimization), designed to be “information seeking.” And the Electronics and Telecomm Research Institute in South Korea creates SC-FEGAN, a face-editing GAN that builds off of a user’s sketches and other information. Georgetown University announces a $55M grant to create the Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET). Microsoft workers call on the company to cancel its military contract with the U.S. Army. DeepMind uses machine learning to predict wind turbine energy production. Australia’s Defence Department invests ~$5M to study how to make autonomous weapons behave ethically. And the U.K. government invests in its people and funds AI university courses with £115. Reports suggest that U.S. police departments are using biased data to train crime-predicting algorithms. A thesis on Neural Reading Comprehension and Beyond by Danqi Chen becomes highly read. A report looks at the evaluation of citation graphs in AI research, and researchers provide a survey of deep learning for image super-resolution. Bryon Reese blogs that we need new words to adjust to AI (to which Dave adds “AI-chemy” to the list). In Point and Counterpoint, David Sliver argues that AlphaZero exhibits the “essence of creativity,” while Sean Dorrance Kelly argues that AI can’t be an artist. Interpretable Machine Learning by Christoph Molnar hits version 1.0, and Andy highlights Asimov’s classic short story, The Machine that Won the War. And finally, a symposium at Princeton University’s Institute for Advanced Studies examines deep learning – alchemy or science?

The meeting had just started, and we were going through introductions when every police officer ... the room to look outside. On the street, I saw a number of police officers in SWAT gear running in various directions, each carrying a machine gun. By then I had received notification about the attack on the Twin Towers. I just remember an eerie feeling, not one of being under attack, just about how strange it was to have such heavily armed police on the streets. My father was living

China and the Solomon Islands: Drivers of Security Cooperation

/our-media/indepth/2022/04/china-and-the-solomon-islands

Christopher Cairns and April Herlevi examine the security agreement between China and the Solomon Islands, and its implications for other Pacific island nations.

this fractionalization is one main reason that current political leaders are pursuing ties with China. Article 1 of the draft agreement states that the Solomon Islands may "request China to send police, armed police, military personnel and other law enforcement and armed forces to Solomon Islands to assist in maintaining social order." While that type of agreement would certainly open the door ... that the China-Solomon Islands draft agreement would cover PRC armed forces, Minister of Police Karen Galokale noted that the country had "a broad security treaty with Australia and policing cooperation

ISIS-Sinai's Violent Start to 2019
