[ad_1] In fact, the code is so powerful that OpenAI initially refused to publish research on the earlier GPT-2 model for fear it could be abused to write fake news. Despite the huge size and power of the model, it’s also surprisingly easy to use. “Unlike most AI systems which are designed for one use-case, […]

Google Magenta’s Lo-Fi Player is an AI-based virtual music studio
[ad_1] Lo-Fi Player, a new project out of Google Magenta, wants to help people play around with music creation — no experience necessary. Lo-Fi Player is a pixelated, 2D virtual room that runs in a web browser. It lets you mix lo-fi hip hop tracks by clicking on different objects in the room, and it […]
Google starts displaying contextual info in image searches
[ad_1] If you’ve ever searched for something and seen a panel to the side of the main interface that displays some facts related to your query, then you’ve seen the Knowledge Graph in action. The company first introduced the database back in 2012. Since then, it has expanded to include approximately 500 billion facts related to 5 […]
Qualcomm’s latest 5G-powered RB5 robotics platform is aimed at drone makers
[ad_1] Since the chip is geared towards machine vision and robotics applications, it can process up to 8K or 4K HDR video and 200 megapixel photos while dealing with up to seven cameras at once. On the software side, it comes with SDKs for neural processing, machine vision, localization, feature recognition and obstacle detection. To […]
Hitting the Books: Do we really want our robots to have consciousness?
[ad_1] MIT Press Excerpted from How to Grow a Robot: Developing Human-Friendly, Social AI by Mark H. Lee © 2020 Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Although I argue for self-awareness, I do not believe that we need to worry about consciousness. There seems to be an obsession with robot consciousness in the media, but why start […]
Microsoft and Intel turn malware into images to help spot more threats
[ad_1] STAMINA has proven mostly effective so far, with just over 99 percent accuracy in classifying malware and a false positive rate slightly under 2.6 percent. However, it has its limits. It works well with small files, but it struggles with larger ones. With enough refinement, though, this could be very useful. Most malware detection […]
Alphabet’s DeepMind AI is better than you at Atari games
[ad_1] According to MIT’s Technology Review, Pitfall and Montezuma’s Revenge require the AI to experiment more than usual in order to figure out how to get a better score. Meanwhile, Solaris and Skiing are difficult for the AI because there aren’t as many indications as success — the AI doesn’t know if it’s making the […]
Google explains the complex tech behind the Pixel 4’s gesture radar
[ad_1] Soli’s short-range radar can essentially do two things: detect your presence to prepare the screen for face unlock, and read swiping or tapping gestures performed in the air above the phone. However, in order to make the antennae small enough for a smartphone, the radar is geared to detect motion rather than shapes. That […]
An algorithm could make CPUs a cheap way to train AI
[ad_1] Typically, companies use GPUs as acceleration hardware in implementing deep learning in technology. But this is pricey — top of the line GPU platforms cost around $100,000. Rice researchers have now created a cost-saving alternative, an algorithm called sub-linear deep learning engine (SLIDE) that is able to do the same job of implementing deep […]
AI discovers antibiotic that kills even highly resistant bacteria
[ad_1] The team succeeded by developing a system that can find molecular structures with desired traits (say, killing bacteria) more effectively than past systems. Unlike previous methods, the neural networks learn representations of molecules automatically, mapping them into continuous vectors that help predict their behavior. Once ready, the researchers trained their AI on 2,500 molecules […]
