Super Resolution: Increasing image quality CSI-like

Super-resolution imaging is a class of techniques that enhance the resolution of an imaging system (Wikipedia). The entertainment series CSI has been ridiculed for relying on exaggerated and unrealistic applications of it: Until recently, such upscaling of images were though near impossible. However, we have evidenced some pretty amazing breakthroughs in the deep learning space recently. Artificial Intelligence can think ahead, learn physics, and … Continue reading Super Resolution: Increasing image quality CSI-like →

Neural Networks play Super Mario Bros & Mario Kart

Seth Bling calls himself a video game designer, a hacker and an engineer. You might know him from MarI/O: his neural network that got extremely good to at playing Super Mario Bros. The video below shows the genetic approach Seth used to train this neural network. Seth randomly generated a starting population of neural networks where the … Continue reading Neural Networks play Super Mario Bros & Mario Kart →

GAN: Generative Adversarial Networks

A Generative Adversarial Network, GAN in short, is a machine learning architecture where two neural networks compete against each other. One of them functions as a discriminator, seeking to optimize its classification of data (i.e., determine whether or not there is a cat in a picture). The other one functions as a generator, seeking to best … Continue reading GAN: Generative Adversarial Networks →

Neural Networks 101

Last month, a video by 3Blue1Brown has been trending on YouTube, accumulating already over a quarter of a million views. It only lasts 10 minutes but provides a very good and intuitive explanation of the inner workings of Neural Networks (NN): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aircAruvnKk The Machine Learning & Deep Learning book I wrote about recently provides a more substantial explanation of … Continue reading Neural Networks 101 →

AI at MIT (2010/2015): Part 1 – Introduction

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) hosts their entire 2010 course on artificial intelligence / machine learning by Professor Patrick Winston on YouTube. Although some parts seem already kind of dated seven years later, the videos on several evolving topics (e.g., Neural Networks) have been updated in the fall of 2015. The tutorial assignments you can … Continue reading AI at MIT (2010/2015): Part 1 – Introduction →

Video: Bias in Machine Learning

Mainstream media have caught onto the difficulties of machine learning. Most saliently, they just love to report how AI and bots can be as racist, discriminatory, or biased as humans. Some examples: Microsoft's racist Twitter bot (Verge, 2016) Gender-biased text mining AI (Guardian, 2017) Racist criminal profiling bot (ProPublica, 2016) Google’s Sentiment Analyzer Thinks Being … Continue reading Video: Bias in Machine Learning →
