Suleyman also argued that the kind of General AI we see in movies today probably won’t look anything like the general AI systems we will get decades from now. “When it comes to imagining what the future will be like, a lot of that is fun and entertaining, but it doesn’t bear a great deal of resemblance to the systems that we are building,” he said. “I can’t really think of a film that makes me think: yeah – AI looks like that.”

La police de Floride a récemment arrêté qui s’adonnait au crime de voyeurisme avec son iPhone 5. Au cours de son interpellation, l’homme a autorisé verbalement les forces de l’ordre à fouiller son smartphone. Mais il est ensuite revenu sur sa décision en refusant de donner le mot de passe à 4 chiffres indispensable à cette opération.
Un premier magistrat a refusé que la police puisse forcer l’homme à donner son code au motif que cette demande revenait à l’obliger à témoigner contre lui-même, une pratique interdite par le cinquième amendement de la Constitution.
Mais aujourd’hui, la décision a été annulée par la cour d’appel de Floride. Celle-ci a considéré que le mot de passe n’est pas directement relié à des photos ou des vidéos criminelles qui pourraient figurer — ou pas — sur le smartphone.
“Instead of the word being a thing by itself, it is represented by a 500-dimensional vector, or basically a 500 set of numbers, and each of those numbers capture some aspect of the word,” Menezes explained. To create a translation, neural networks model the meaning of each word within the context of the entire sentence in a 1,000-dimensional vector, whether the sentence is five or 20 words long, before translation begins. This 1,000-dimension model – not the words – is translated into the other language.

The strategy game sees players building empires with soldiers and attacking other players who are doing the same. The deeper you go, the more likely you’ll shell out cash. VentureBeat said that Game of War’s paying players spent an average of $550 on the game last year

Alarmed that decades of crucial climate measurements could vanish under a hostile Trump administration, scientists have begun a feverish attempt to copy reams of government data onto independent servers in hopes of safeguarding it from any political interference.

Machine Learning (ML) is a fast-moving, competitive field. As important as good algorithms are to ML, the state-of-the-art algorithms are reliably available. Compute clusters are also an important ingredient, and they too are easy to access (especially using services like Amazon EC2 and Amazon EC2 Elastic GPUs). What isn’t reliably available are large-scale high quality data sets. The things you need to train your classifiers. That’s where MTurk comes into play.
