ai with ai: Super-AI Reveals Answer to Everything: IDK, LUL

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-31

In a review of the latest news, Andy and Dave discuss: the White House’s “plan” for AI, the departure of employees from Google due to Project Maven, another Tesla crash, the first AI degree for undergraduates at CMU, and Boston Dynamics’ jumping and climbing robots. Next, two AI research topics have implications for neuroscience. First, Andy and Dave discuss AI research at DeepMind, which showed that an AI trained to navigate between two points developed “grid cells,” very similar to those found in the mammalian brain. And second, another finding from DeepMind on “meta-learning” suggests that dopamine in the human brain may have a more integral role in meta-learning than previously thought. In another example of “AI-chemy,” Andy and Dave discuss the looming problem of (lack of) explainability in health care (with implications for many other areas, such as DoD), and they also discuss some recent research on adding an option for an AI to defer a decision with “I Don’t Know” (IDK). After a quick romp through the halls of AI-generated DOOM, the two discuss a recent proof that reveals the fundamental limits of scientific knowledge (so much for super-AIs). And finally, they close with a few media recommendations, including “The Book of Why: The New Science of Cause and Effect.”

Informing Renormalization of COVID19

During the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, US jails have faced challenges in providing safety, security, programming, and care while limiting virus transmission. Data-driven insights can help inform correctional leaders as they seek to transition to more normalized operations. We customized an agent-based model, Simulation Applications for Forecasting Effective Responses in Corrections (SAFER-C), to simulate the operations, environment, and virus spread within a representative 100-bed housing unit, using de-identified data from District of Columbia Department of Corrections. Simulations indicated that most infections occur via staff-to-staff and inmate-to-inmate interactions, that benefits from higher facility vaccination rates are offset by the lower vaccination rates among intakes, and that resuming high-contact activities (e.g., basketball) may cause outbreaks. Simulation results aligned closely with practitioner experience. The detailed insights gained from this analysis suggest that SAFER-C is a valuable tool for correctional decision-makers.

ai with ai: Black Hole Watson

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-2/2-24

Andy and Dave discuss the first image of a black hole, and its link to machine learning -- with research from Katie Bouman while she was at MIT, developing Continuous High-resolution Image Reconstruction using Patch priors (CHIRP), as a way to stitch together different sources to create a continuous whole. Next, Andy and Dave discuss research from the Sorbonne and IST Austria that tries to deduce the reward function of a recurrent neural network by assuming the neurons are agents. And research from Hopfield and Krotov examines a way to approach neural network learning in a more “plausible” biological fashion, with a more physically local method of plasticity. In reports, the European Commission releases its 41-page report on Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI. Elizabeth Holm publishes a short paper in defense of the black box. A paper in IEEE Spectrum examines the actual health care products (compared to the partnerships and promises) of IBM Watson. Sean Luke publishes the second edition of The Essentials of Metaheuristics. And the video of the week is a 2016 TED Talk by Katie Bouman on the development of the software that combines the data collected by individual telescopes.
