Rachel Bittner, a research scientist at Spotify, joins us in our discussion this week! She brings us the paper "Few-Shot Sound Event Detection." Lan discusses an article about fairness of search results. George talks about a blog post from England about an algorithm grading exams and the controversy around it. Last but not least, Kyle brings us an article titled "Eye-Catching Advances in Some AI Fields are not Real."  

Back with our regular panelists! This week Lan brings us an article about the clothing subscription service Stitch Fix called "Multi-Armed Bandits and the Stitch Fix Experimentation Platform | Stitch Fix Technology – Multithreaded." Kyle discusses a news item titled "Shrinking Deep Learning's Carbon Footprint." Last but not least George brings the paper this week titled "Aligning AI With Shared Human Values."

Back again with our regular panelists! This week George brings us an interesting article about how an AI developed to identify individual birds without tagging. Kyle discusses the news item "New York legislature votes to halt facial recognition tech in schools for two years." Last but not least, Lan brings the paper this week! She discusses the paper "A deep learning approach for staging embryonic tissue isolates with small data."

Back again with our regular panelists! Today Lan brings us a article she found from Reddit about Gradio. George brings us a post about the psychology techniques used in AI. Last but not least, Kyle brings our paper this week about automatic essay test scoring!

Back again with another episode with our regular panelists! This week Kyle discusses the article from The Scientist "How Social Isolation Affects the Brain." Lan brings us an article titled "National University of Singapore used Intel Neuromorphic chip to develop touch-sensing robotic 'skin.'" Last but not least, George brings us the paper this week! He talks about Reinforcement Learning, bringing the paper "One Policy to Control Them All: Shared Modular Policies for Agent-Agnostic Control." All works are linked in the show notes.   

Back again with our regular panelists! George takes us on a discussion about the game NetHack from the blog post "The NetHack Learning Environment."  Kyle brings us an article titled "Where the Latest COVID-19 Models Think We're Headed - And Why They Disagree." Last but not least, Lan brings us the paper this week! She brings us the paper "Deconstructing Lottery Tickets: Zeros, Signs, and the Supermask."   All works are linked in the show notes. 

This week we have our regular panel of Lan, George and Kyle! George brings us a blog post "What I Learned From Looking at 200 Machine Learning Tools." Which, the author, talks about a list complied of all of the AI/ML tools he could find. Lan brings us a news article "Making Blurry Faces Photorealistic Only Goes So Far." This article discusses how AI researchers discover inherent resolution limit to "upsampling" of pixelated faces. Last but not least, Kyle brings us the paper for this week! He brings the paper, "Logical Neural Networks." This paper proposes a novel framework seamlessly providing key properties of both neural nets (learning) and symbolic logic (knowledge and reasoning). All works are linked in the show notes.   

We are back with our regular panel this week! Starting off we have Lan who brings us the article "Biosensors May Hold the Key to Mass Coronavirus Testing." Which talks about tech startups beginning to develop chips that signal the presence of the coronavirus RNA, antibodies, and antigens. George brings us a blog post all about BLEURT, titled "BLEURT: Learning Robust Metrics for Text Generation." Last but not least, Kyle discusses the main paper this week! He brought us a paper discussing DeepFakes popping up in court rooms with the paper titled "Courts and Lawyers Struggles With Growing Prevalence of DeepFakes."   All works will be linked in the show notes.
