A deep learning framework to enhance the capabilities of a robotic sketching agent

Posted by in categories: information science, media & arts, robotics/AI

In recent years, deep learning algorithms have achieved remarkable results in a variety of fields, including artistic disciplines. In fact, many computer scientists worldwide have successfully developed models that can create artistic works, including poems, paintings and sketches.

Researchers at Seoul National University have recently introduced a new artistic framework, which is designed to enhance the skills of a sketching . Their framework, introduced in a paper presented at ICRA 2022 and pre-published on arXiv, allows a sketching robot to learn both stroke-based rendering and motor control simultaneously.

Algorithms can prevent online abuse

Posted by in categories: finance, information science, privacy, robotics/AI

Millions of children log into chat rooms every day to talk with other children. One of these “children” could well be a man pretending to be a 12-year-old girl with far more sinister intentions than having a chat about “My Little Pony” episodes.

Inventor and NTNU professor Patrick Bours at AiBA is working to prevent just this type of predatory behavior. AiBA, an AI-digital moderator that Bours helped found, can offer a tool based on behavioral biometrics and algorithms that detect sexual abusers in online chats with children.

And now, as recently reported by Dagens Næringsliv, a national financial newspaper, the company has raised capital of NOK 7.5. million, with investors including Firda and Wiski Capital, two Norwegian-based firms.

Researchers unfold elegant equations to explain the enigma of expanding origami

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, information science, robotics/AI, space travel

Most materials—from rubber bands to steel beams—thin out as they are stretched, but engineers can use origami’s interlocking ridges and precise folds to reverse this tendency and build devices that grow wider as they are pulled apart.

Researchers increasingly use this kind of technique, drawn from the ancient art of , to design spacecraft components, medical robots and antenna arrays. However, much of the work has progressed via instinct and trial and error. Now, researchers from Princeton Engineering and Georgia Tech have developed a general formula that analyzes how structures can be configured to thin, remain unaffected, or thicken as they are stretched, pushed or bent.

An AI-based party vows to win Denmark’s general election in 2023. Can it succeed?

Posted by in categories: information science, robotics/AI, sustainability

An art collective is trying to get an AI-supported candidate into Danish Parliament in 2023. Could we have a fully virtual candidate one day?

With all the political rancor that has become a part of our everyday reality, maybe it’s time to admit that humans may not be the best at forging agreements. Our egos are always in play, and emotions often rule our political choices more than reason. Maybe artificial intelligence (AI) could do a better job, or at least that’s what the creators of The Synthetic Party, the world’s first AI-based political party, think. The party hopes to run an AI candidate in Denmark’s general election in 2023.

General Theory of General Intelligence: Critical Priors for Human-Like General Intelligence

Posted by in categories: blockchains, education, information science, robotics/AI, singularity

This is Episode 7 in a series of videos discussing the General Theory of General Intelligence as overviewed in the paper.
Goertzel, Ben. “The General Theory of General Intelligence: A Pragmatic Patternist Perspective.“
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2103.15100
This episode overviews ideas regarding how the particular nature and requirements of *human-like-ness* can be used guide the design and education of AGI systems. This is where cognitive science and computer science richly intersect. Core architectural ideas of OpenCog along with numerous other AGI systems (MicroPsi, LIDA, Aaron Sloman’s work,…) are reviewed in this context.

Tuning Random Forest Hyperparameters

Posted by in categories: information science, robotics/AI

Hyperparameter tuning is important for algorithms. It improves their overall performance of a machine learning model and is set before the learning process and happens outside of the model. If hyperparameter tuning does not occur, the model will produce errors and inaccurate results as the loss function is not minimized.

Hyperparameter tuning is about finding a set of optimal hyperparameter values which maximizes the model’s performance, minimizes loss and produces better outputs.

Using tactile sensors and machine learning to improve how robots manipulate fabrics

Posted by in categories: information science, robotics/AI

In recent years, roboticists have been trying to improve how robots interact with different objects found in real-world settings. While some of their efforts yielded promising results, the manipulation skills of most existing robotic systems still lag behinds those of humans.

Fabrics are among the types of objects that have proved to be most challenging for to interact with. The main reasons for this are that pieces of cloth and other fabrics can be stretched, moved and folded in different ways, which can result in complex material dynamics and self-occlusions.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute have recently proposed a new computational technique that could allow robots to better understand and handle fabrics. This technique, introduced in a paper set to be presented at the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems and pre-published on arXiv, is based on the use of a and a simple machine-learning algorithm, known as a classifier.

Black Holes Finally Proven Mathematically Stable

Posted by in categories: cosmology, information science

Unstable black holes would require a rewrite of Einstein’s gravitational theory.

An international group of scientists finally proved that slowly rotating Kerr black holes are stable, a report from Quanta Magazine

In 1963, mathematician Roy Kerr found a solution to Einstein’s equations that accurately described the spacetime around what is now known as a rotating black hole.

You should fear Super Stupidity, not Super Intelligence

Posted by in categories: climatology, health, information science, robotics/AI, sustainability

I have been invited to participate in a quite large event in which some experts and I (allow me to not consider myself one) will discuss about Artificial Intelligence, and, in particular, about the concept of Super Intelligence.

It turns out I recently found out this really interesting TED talk by Grady Booch, just in perfect timing to prepare my talk.

No matter if you agree or disagree with Mr. Booch’s point of view, it is clear that today we are still living in the era of weak or narrow AI, very far from general AI, and even more from a potential Super Intelligence. Still, Machine Learning bring us with a great opportunity as of today. The opportunity to put algorithms to work together with humans to solve some of our biggest challenges: climate change, poverty, health and well being, etc.

A neural network–based strategy to enhance near-term quantum simulations

Posted by in categories: chemistry, information science, quantum physics, robotics/AI

Near-term quantum computers, quantum computers developed today or in the near future, could help to tackle some problems more effectively than classical computers. One potential application for these computers could be in physics, chemistry and materials science, to perform quantum simulations and determine the ground states of quantum systems.

Some quantum computers developed over the past few years have proved to be fairly effective at running . However, near-term quantum computing approaches are still limited by existing hardware components and by the adverse effects of background noise.

Researchers at 1QB Information Technologies (1QBit), University of Waterloo and the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics have recently developed neural , a new strategy that could improve ground state estimates attained using quantum simulations. This strategy, introduced in a paper published in Nature Machine Intelligence, is based on machine-learning algorithms.
