ai with ai: Shiny Heart Reflecting in the Dark Lights Up (SHRDLU)
/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-32
In breaking news, Andy and Dave discuss a few cracks seem to be appearing in Google's Duplex demonstration; more examples of the breaking of Moore's Law; a Princeton effort to advance the dialogue on AI and ethics; India joins the global AI-sabre-rattling; the UK Ministry of Defence launches an AI hub/lab; and the U.S. Navy dissolves its secretary-level unmanned systems office. Andy and Dave then discuss a demonstration of "zero-shot" learning, by which a robot learns to do a task by watching a human perform it once. The work reminds Andy of the early natural language "virtual block world" SHRDLU, from the 1970s. In other news, the research team that designed Libratus (a world-class poker-playing AI) announced they had developed a better AI that, more importantly, is also computationally orders of magnitude less expensive (using a 4-core CPU with 16 GB of memory). Next, research with Intel and the University of Illinois UC has developed a convolutional neural net to significantly improve low-ISO image quality while shooting at faster shutter speeds; Andy and Dave both found the results for improving low-light images to be quite stunning. Finally, after yet another round of a generative adversarial example (in which Dave predicts the creation of a new field), Andy closes with some recommendations on papers, books, and videos, including Galatea 2.2 and The Space of Possible Minds.

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-2/2-28
“Bots” reign supreme in this week’s episode, though Andy and Dave start the discussion NIST’s RFI on the development of technical standards for AI. A Harvard Medical School project demonstrates a catheter that can autonomously move inside a live, beating pig’s heart. Zipline uses medical delivery drones in Rwanda. University of Maryland researchers demonstrate drone delivery of a kidney for transplant. NASA tests a CACADA swarm and is also investigating Marsbees. And Starship robo-couriers deliver food to students at GMU. In research from Berkeley, a robot learns to use improvised tools to complete tasks, including those with physical cause-and-effect relationships. Researchers at MIT, MIT-IBM Watson, and DeepMind create the Neuro-Symbolic Concept Learner (NSCL), which uses a hybrid connectionist/symbolic approach, and seems to be a “true” AI implementation of Winograd’s SHRDLU system from the 60s. Research from Tsinghua University and Google demonstrates Neural Logic Machines, a neural-symbolic architecture for both inductive learning and logic reasoning. Two papers compare logistic regression with machine learning methods for clinical predictions; one shows no benefit of one method over the other, while the other claims better performance with neural network methods (although Andy and Dave wonder whether this statement is true, given the error bars in the results). Algorithm Watch publishes a Global Inventory of AI Ethics Guidelines. Times Higher Education (THE) and Microsoft release a survey on AI of more than 100 AI experts and university leaders. The Department of Information Technology at the University of Uppsala in Sweden has made its lecture notes for a statistical machine learning course available. The Santa Fe Institute reprints a classic collection of essays from its Founding Workshops. Robert Kranekg pens a story about an Angry Engineer. And the OpenAI Robotics Symposium 2019 releases the full video proceedings online.

ai with ai: Self-aware Bag of Atomic Camels
/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-2/2-16
For research topics, Andy and Dave discuss the task-agnostic self-modeling machine from Columbia University, a robotic arm that learns to build an approximate model of itself and then interact with the world; they also discuss the over-hyped reporting of the research. A much less hyped, but possibly more groundbreaking research from MIT results in a robot that can play the tower-block game Jenga, using multisensory fusion to do so. More research from MIT attempts to synthesize probabilistic programs for automatic data modeling. Research from the University of Tubingen shows that approximating convolutional neural nets with bag-of-local-features modeling yields decent results with ImageNet. And the University of Washington and the Allen Institute for AI announce the Atlas of Machine Commonsense (ATOMIC), a collection of 877k textual descriptions of inferential knowledge, which allows more accurate inference for previously unseen events. In announcements of the week, DARPA announces the Competency-Aware Machine Learning (CAML) program for ML systems to assess their own performance; and Measuring Biological Aptitude (MBA) attempts to link genotype to phenotype in order to improve recruiting, training, and other aspects. The U.S. Navy’s Sea Hunter drone ship completes an autonomous trip from San Diego to Hawaii and back. The "Papers with Code" archive attempts to collect and link ML-related papers, code, and evaluation tables. The U.S. Army activates its AI Task Force at Carnegie Mellon. And the International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) 2019 has been announced for 6-9 May 2019. In media of the week, the World Intellectual Property Organization releases its report on the Technology Trends of 2019; the AMA Journal of Ethics publishes an entire (open-access) issue devoted to AI in health care; the Congressional Research Service updates its report on AI and National Security; Dan Simmons provides a hefty tome on Evolutionary Optimization Algorithms, and Julian Togelius publishes a book on Playing Smart. Wake Word is the Game of the Week, and in videos, Super Bowl ads provided a variety of glimpses into life with robots.

ai with ai: Ghost in the Mirror
/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-2/2.41
Andy and Dave discuss research from DeepMind, University College London, and Oxford, that shows that human mental replay spontaneously reorganizes experience, implied by abstract knowledge, and which further suggests AI could use this approach to learn and improve. In other research, adversarial triggers cause natural language processing algorithms (such as GPT-2) to generate incorrect sentiment analysis, or to generate racist output (even in non-racial contexts). And researchers from Dalian, Peng Cheng, and City University of Hong Kong create a segmentation method for visual classifiers to identify and process mirrors and reflective surfaces, which may otherwise cause confusing results. FutureGrasp provides a report on an overview of State initiatives in AI. An article in Nature examines the global landscape of AI ethics guidelines.
