Artificial Intelligence

This is the second article in my series on audio deep learning. Now that we know how sound is represented digitally, and that we need to convert it into a spectrogram for use in deep learning architectures, let us understand in more detail how that is done and how we can tune that conversion to get better performance.Since data preparation is so critical, particularly in the … [Read more...] about Audio Deep Learning Made Simple (Part 2): Why Mel Spectrograms perform better

Could AI Help Make Jurassic Park Happen?Robotic Troodon at the MIT Museum, photo by Barnas Monteith. Troodon formosus is one of the species found at the “Egg Mountain” fossil locality in Montana (photo by author)As an elementary school student and middle schooler, my number one goal in life was to become a paleontologist. In the summer following 8th grade, a brand new program … [Read more...] about Dinosaurs & AI

DARK SIDE OF AIA novel study has shown that AI can lead people to cross moral boundariesWithout us knowing sometimes, Artificial Intelligence is penetrating our lives on a daily basis — from setting prices in retail stores and making recommendations ranging from movies to romantic partners. All this while the debate around AI ethics has continued to gather pace. This debate has … [Read more...] about AI-generated advice can act as a scapegoat for human immorality

Here you sit again, hungover, broke, and with no prospects. You’ve got no clean clothes, every dish in the house is dirty, and all your bills are due.After rummaging through junk drawers and pants pockets, you find enough money for either some groceries or a bottle of booze and a pack of smokes. You look at the cash, and your stomach growls.The mountain of postponed duties … [Read more...] about Today is Yesterday’s Tomorrow

While the model size is somewhat controllable during design, runtime libraries are something that you get from distribution and a part of your model that you’ll need to pack into your application distributable. Hence, we reduced model size within those libraries from our regular releases of the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit.One year ago, the OpenVINO™ toolkit’s … [Read more...] about Reduce Application Footprint with the Latest Features in Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit

Data Blending : A Simple, Yet Powerful Tool Counter OverfittingDr. Eren Unlu, Data Scientist and Machine Learning Engineer @Datategy, ParisI don’t know why, but nothing feels better to me than delving into a straight, old tabular data challenge. Most of the time our workload in the company shifts solely towards complex image segmentation, video analysis, and some hefty complex … [Read more...] about Machine Learning Zuihitsu — IV

The first church of artificial intelligence has shut its conceptual doors. Anthony Levandowski, the former Google engineer who avoided an 18-month prison sentence after receiving a presidential pardon last month, has closed the church he created to understand and accept a godhead based on artificial intelligence. The Way of the Future church, which Levandowski formed in 2015, … [Read more...] about Anthony Levandowski closes his Church of AI – TechCrunch

Recently I've gotten into the idea of using machine learning to recognize microexpressions on people's faces. On my journey to learning how to make an algorithm myself, I thought id start off at the basics and make an algorithm that can detect normal macro expressions.Using the CK+48 dataset found here, I was able to replicate a model that reached a top accuracy level of 66%. … [Read more...] about Creating a Facial Emotion Recognizer Line by Line
