In their paper, Yoshua Bengio, Geoffrey Hinton, and Yann LeCun, recipients of the 2018 Turing Award, explain the current challenges of deep learning and how it differs from learning in humans and animals. They also explore recent advances in the field that might provide blueprints... Читать дальше...

This was first spotted by MySmartPrice. The filing didn’t go into much more detail than this. You can look at it below, if you’re that way inclined... Читать дальше...

What is the technology stack you need to create fully autonomous vehicles? Companies and researchers are divided on the answer to that question. Approaches to autonomous driving range from just cameras and computer vision to a combination of computer vision and advanced sensors. Tesla has been a vocal champion for the pure vision-based approach to autonomous driving, and in this year’s Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), its chief AI scientist Andrej Karpathy explained why.

European cities are constantly making mobility greener, but there’s one issue they still haven’t tackled: making it gender-neutral. Yup, gender can be a big factor in mobility. It’s been shown that women and men have very different travel needs and patterns, but this hasn’t really been considered in mobility plans of city governments — until now. Cities in Europe now increasingly consider the gendered effects of transport policies and use them to inform adoption of less car-centric systems, Bloomberg reports. Читать дальше...

Last Friday was quite a doozy in the cybersecurity world: a Russia-linked REvil ransomware gang is believed to be behind a massive ‘supply chain’ attack that crippled hundreds of businesses across the US and elsewhere. Now, the group wants $70 million in exchange for a tool to decrypt the files they’ve locked on victims’ networks. The Record’s Catalin Cimpanu reported that REvil has claimed responsibility for the attack and put out the call for the enormous ransom. If paid, it would make this the largest ransomware incident in history. Читать дальше...

If like many Australian Muslims you have reported hate speech to Facebook and received an automated response saying it doesn’t breach the platform’s community standards, you are not alone. We and our team are the first Australian social scientists to receive funding through Facebook’s content policy research awards, which we used to investigate hate speech on LGBTQI+ community pages in five Asian countries: India, Myanmar, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Australia. We looked at three aspects of hate... Читать дальше...

It’s been nearly a year since that unfortunately unforgettable photo of Mark Zuckerberg surfing in Hawaii looking like a White Walker surfaced. And just so it doesn’t have the chance to completely fade from memory, ol’ Zuck‘s got your back with a little video of himself on the water again — and he looks more patriotic than you will ever be. In the clip captioned, “Happy July 4th!,” Zuckerberg is surfing while majestically holding up an American flag… and it’s set to John Denver’s ‘Take Me Home, Country... Читать дальше...
