AI/ML

Optimizing metrics is a central aspect of most current artificial intelligence (AI) approaches, yet overemphasizing metrics leads to manipulation, short-termism, and other negative consequences. This poses a fundamental challenge within AI. We review how metrics can go wrong in practice, and we put forward an evidence-based framework toward mitigating these harms.

Training a collaborative filtering based recommendation system on a toy dataset is a sophomore year project in colleges these days. But where the rubber meets the road is building such a system at scale, deploying in production, and serving live requests within a few hundred milliseconds while the user is waiting for the page to load. To build a system like this, engineers have to make decisions spanning multiple moving layers like:

Did you ever get ANGRY on the internet?

I've been meaning to write some more about artificial intelligence, machine learning, and drug discovery, and this paper (open access) by Andreas Bender is an excellent starting point. I'm going to be talking in fairly general terms here, but for practitioners in the field, I can recommend this revi

OpenAI disclosed the problem on GitHub — but released GPT-3 anyway

Ryan Mac / BuzzFeed: In interview Kogan admits he broke Facebook's ToS but his app was within norms, says he worked on 10+ papers with Pete Fleming, now Instagram's head of research

A drug designed entirely by artificial intelligence is about to enter clinical human trials for the first time. The drug, which is intended to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder, was discovered using AI systems from Oxford-based biotech company Exscientia. While it would usually take around four and a half years to get a drug to this stage of development, Exscientia says that by using the AI tools it's taken less than 12 months.

Gregory Barber / Wired: AI researchers are beginning to acknowledge and confront the “reproducibility” crisis, which makes it hard for others to replicate the results of AI systems

Dave Lee / BBC: Amazon CTO says AI tools like Lex are the next big thing after AWS, and it's not Amazon's responsibility to ensure Rekognition is used accurately or ethically
