AI against Censorship: Genetic Algorithms, The Geneva Project, ML in Security, and more! 17.02.2022 54:57
#security #censorship #ai Most of us conceive the internet as a free and open space where we are able to send traffic between any two nodes, but for large parts of the world this is not the case. Entire nations have large machinery in place to survey all internet traffic and automated procedures to block any undesirable connections. Evading such censorship has been largely a cat-and-mouse game bet...

OpenAI Embeddings (and Controversy?!) 16.02.2022 15:56
#mlnews #openai #embeddings COMMENTS DIRECTLY FROM THE AUTHOR (thanks a lot for reaching out Arvind :) ): 1. The FIQA results you share also have code to reproduce the results in the paper using the API: https://twitter.com/arvind_io/status/... There's no discrepancy AFAIK. 2. We leave out 6 not 7 BEIR datasets. Results on msmarco, nq and triviaqa are in a separate table (Table 5 in the paper). NQ...
Unsupervised Brain Models - How does Deep Learning inform Neuroscience? (w/ Patrick Mineault) 16.02.2022 1:21:27
#deeplearning #brain #neuroscience Originally, Deep Learning sprang into existence inspired by how the brain processes information, but the two fields have diverged ever since. However, given that deep models can solve many perception tasks with remarkable accuracy, is it possible that we might be able to learn something about how the brain works by inspecting our models? I speak to Patrick Mineau...
