George discusses Google's Dataset Search leaving its closed beta program, and what potential applications it will have for businesses, scholars, and hobbyists. Alex brings an article about Activation Atlases and we discusses the applicability to machine learning interpretability. Lan leads a discussion about the paper Attention is not Explanation from Sarthak Jain and Byron C. Wallace. It explores the relationship between attention weights and feature importance scores (spoilers in the title). Kyle shamelessly promotes his blog post using LIME to explain a simple prediction model trained on Wikipedia data.
Happy Pi-cast! Andy and Dave discuss some of the stories that have followed the New York Times articles on Clearview AI, to include Twitter telling the company to stop using its photos, and a consortium of 40 agencies calls on the U.S. government to ban facial recognition systems until more is known about the technology. Meanwhile, London’s Metropolitan Police is rolling out live facial recognition technology. BlueDot says that it used AI and its epidemiologists to send a warning about the Wuhan virus on 31 December 2019, a full week before the US CDC announcement on 6 January 2020. Google releases the largest high-resolution map of the fruit fly’s brain, with 25,000 neurons. DARPA’s Gremlin (X-61A) drone system makes its first test flight. And the Guinness Book of World Records recognizes Stephen Worswick as the most frequent winner (5 times) of the Loebner Prize, for his Mitsuku chatbot. In research, Facebook AI achieves near-perfect (99.9%) navigation without needing a map, testing its algorithm in its AI Habitat. Robert J. Marks makes The Case *for* Killer Robots. The Brookings Institute’s Indermit Gill predicts that the AI leader in 2030 will “rule the planet” until at least 2100. The ACT-IAC releases an AI Playbook, with step-by-step guidance for assessment, readiness, selection, implementation, and integration. Jessica Flack examines the Collective Computation of Reality in Nature and Society. Google’s Dataset Search is out of beta. And DoD will be holding its East Coast AI Symposium and Exposition 29 and 30 April in Crystal City. Click here to visit our website and explore the links mentioned in the episode.

Andy and Dave briefly discuss the results from the Group of Governmental Experts meetings on Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems in Geneva; the Pentagon releases its Unmanned Systems Integrated Roadmap 2017-2042; Google announces DataSet Search, a curated pool of datasets available on the internet; California endorses a set of 23 AI Principles in conjunction with the Future of Life; and registration for the Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS) 2018 conference sells out in just under 12 minutes. Researchers at DeepMind announce a Symbol-Concept Association Network (SCAN), for learning abstractions in the visual domain in a way that mimics human vision and word acquisition. DeepMind also presents an approach to "catastrophic forgetting," using a Variational Autoencoder with Shared Embeddings (VASE) method to learn new information while protecting previously learned representations. Researchers from the University of Maryland and Cornell demonstrate the ability poison the training data set of an neural net image classifier with innocuous poison images. Research from the University of South Australia and Flinders University attempts to link personality with eye movements. OpenAI, Berkley and Edinburgh research looks at curiosity-driven learning across 54 benchmark environments (including video games and physics engine simulations, showing that agents learn to play many Atari games without using any rewards, rally-making behavior emerging in two-player Pong, and others. Finally, Andy shares an interactive app that allows users to “play” with a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) in a browser; “Franken-algorithms” by Andrew Smith is the paper of the week; “Autonomy: The Quest to Build the Driverless Car” by Burns and Shulgan is the book of the week; and for the videos of the week, Major Voke offers thoughts on AI in the Command and Control of Airpower, and Jonathan Nolan releases “Do You Trust This Computer?”

Google has announced the new Google Search Console is out of beta after being tested for over a year. Over the year, Google has done a full open beta invite to all users and has been migrating features from the old Google Search Console to the new version. Google has launched a new type of search engine designed specifically around helping people find data. Simply called “Dataset Search,” the tool provides easier access to millions of datasets across thousands of data repositories on the web. Chrome 69 introduces performance enhancements as well as changes that will affect how users search. Chrome also introduces opportunities for developers to create interesting user experiences on mobile devices.The most dramatic change is a new feature called Omnibox Smart Answers. It allows users to get answers to questions in the address bar without loading a website. These are rich results shown in the address bar. Chrome calls the address bar the Omnibox. And it calls the rich results shown in the Omnibox, Smart Answers.
