ai with ai: Tacotron, Aesthetics, and a Musical Game

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-12

Andy and Dave discuss “Tacotron 2,” the latest text-to-speech capability from Google that produces results nearly indistinguishable from human speech. They also discuss efforts at Google to create a Neural Image Assessment (NIMA), that not only can evaluate the quality of an image but can also be trained to rate the aesthetics (as defined by the user) of an image. And after a look at some of the AI predictions for 2018, they play a musical game with two pieces of music – can Andy guess which piece Dave wrote, and which the AI composer AIVA, the Artificial Intelligence Virtual Artist, wrote?

ai with ai: Top 100s, Workshops, Ethics, and Quantum Computing!

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-11

It’s a smorgasbord of topics, as Andy and Dave discuss: the “AI 100” top companies report; the implications of Google’s new AI Research Center in Beijing; a workshop from the National Academy of Science and the Intelligence Community Studies Board on the challenges of machine generation of analytic products from multi-source data; Ethically Aligned Design and the IEEE; Quantum Computing; and finally, some Kasparov-related materials.

ai with ai: NIPS, Docs, and Clips

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-10

Andy and Dave continue their discussion on the 31st Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS), covering Sokoban, chemical reactions, and a variety of video disentanglement and recognition capabilities. They also discuss a number of breakthroughs in medicine that involve artificial intelligence: a robot passing a medical licensing exam, an algorithm that can diagnose pneumonia better than expert radiologists, a venture between GE Healthcare and NVIDIA to tap into volumes of unrealized medical data, and deep-brain stimulation. Finally, for reading material and reference, Andy recommends a technical lecture on reinforcement learning, as well as two books on robot ethics.

ai with ai: The Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS) Conference

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-9

After some brief speculation on the announcement from NASA (which was being held at the same time as this podcast was recorded) and a quick review of AlphaGo Teach, Andy and Dave discuss the 31st Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS). With over 8,000 attendees, 7 invited speakers, seminar and poster sessions, NIPS provides insight into the latest and greatest developments in deep learning, neural nets, and related fields.

ai with ai: AlphaZero and the AI Index

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-8

Andy and Dave discuss how DeepMind's AI continues to bust through the record books while AlphaZero takes one step closer to world domination (of all board games). After a brief discussion on protein folding, they discuss the "AI Index," which seeks to measure the evolution and advances in AI over time.

ai with ai: DoD AI Spending, Lifelong Learning Machines, and Accountability

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-7

Andy and Dave discuss a market analysis report that identifies where the Department of Defense is spending money in artificial intelligence, big data, and the cloud. They also elaborate on the challenge of "catastrophic forgetting," and a 4-year program at DARPA that seeks to develop "Lifelong Learning Machines," which can continuously apply the results of past experiences. After a conversation about SquishedNets, they cover a Harvard research paper that asserts the need for AI to have explanatory capabilities and accountability.

ai with ai: U.N. Convention on Conventional Weapons, Part II

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-6b

Dr. Larry Lewis   joins Andy and Dave to discuss the U.N. Convention on Conventional Weapons, which met in mid-November with a "mandate to discuss" the topic of lethal autonomous weapons. Larry provides an overview of the group's purpose, the group's schedule and discussions, the mood and reaction of various parts of the group, and what the next steps might be.

ai with ai: U.N. Convention on Conventional Weapons, Part I

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-6

Dr. Larry Lewis   joins Andy and Dave to discuss the U.N. Convention on Conventional Weapons, which met in mid-November with a "mandate to discuss" the topic of lethal autonomous weapons. Larry provides an overview of the group's purpose, the group's schedule and discussions, the mood and reaction of various parts of the group, and what the next steps might be.

ai with ai: Slaughterbots and Fruit Flies

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-5

Andy and Dave discuss the recent Geneva Convention on Conventional Weapons, which met to lay the groundwork for discussing the role of lethal autonomous weapons. They also discuss a new technique, called Capsule Networks, that aims to improve recognition of an object due to a change in spatial orientation. Andy and Dave conclude with a discussion of why fruit flies are so awesome.

ai with ai: Training AIs; MIT Tech Review

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-4

Andy and Dave discuss MIT's efforts to create a tool to train AIs, in this case, using another AI to provide the training. They discuss efforts to crack the "cocktail party" dilemma of picking out individual voices in a noisy room, as well as an AI that can "upres" photographs with remarkable use of texture (that is, taking a lower resolution photo and making it larger in a realistic way). Finally, they discuss the latest MIT Tech Review magazine, which focused on AI.
