Large pretrained language models are definitely the main trend of the latest research advances in natural language processing (NLP). While lots of AI experts agree with Anna Rogers’s statement that getting state-of-the-art results with just more data and computing power is not research news, other NLP opinion leaders also see some positive moments in the current trend. For … [Read more...] about XLNet, ERNIE 2.0, And RoBERTa: What You Need To Know About New 2019 Transformer Models

How to Deliver on Machine Learning Projects
As Machine Learning (ML) is becoming an important part of every industry, the demand for Machine Learning Engineers (MLE) has grown dramatically. MLEs combine machine learning skills with software engineering knowhow to find high-performing models for a given application and handle the implementation challenges that come up — from building out training infrastructure to … [Read more...] about How to Deliver on Machine Learning Projects
Pay Attention to That Man Behind the Curtain
AI bias doesn’t come from AI algorithms, it comes from people. What does that mean and what can we do about it? Technology is not free of humans No technology is free of its creators. Despite our fondest sci-fi wishes, there’s no such thing as ML/AI systems that are truly separate and autonomous… because they start with us. All technology is an echo of the wishes of … [Read more...] about Pay Attention to That Man Behind the Curtain
How to Prevent Embarrassment in AI
How will you prevent embarrassment in machine learning? The answer is… partially. Expect the unexpected! Wise product managers and designers might save your skin by seeing some issues coming a mile off and helping you cook a preventative fix into your production code. Unfortunately, AI systems are complex and your team usually won’t think of everything. There will be … [Read more...] about How to Prevent Embarrassment in AI
Algorithmic Solutions to Algorithmic Bias: A Technical Guide
I want to talk about technical approaches to mitigating algorithmic bias. It’s 2019, and the majority of the ML community is finally publicly acknowledging the prevalence and consequences of bias in ML models. For years, dozens of reports by organizations such as ProPublica and the New York Times have been exposing the scale of algorithmic discrimination in criminal risk … [Read more...] about Algorithmic Solutions to Algorithmic Bias: A Technical Guide
4 Cutting-Edge AI Techniques for Video Generation
It is no secret that algorithms today can generate very realistic deepfakes - images or videos that are totally fake but very hard to distinguish from the real ones. You can make Mark Zuckerberg talking about “one man with total control of billions of people stolen data” and the suspicion will come only because Mark is not likely to say these exact words while the video … [Read more...] about 4 Cutting-Edge AI Techniques for Video Generation
Top 7 Computer Vision Applications in Marketing
Computer vision (CV) has evolved tremendously over the years, adding exciting capabilities to the field of marketing. Using artificial intelligence and machine learning, this technology enables computers to gain a visual understanding of the world. Much like how people use their eyes and brains to make sense of their surroundings, computer vision can scan images and translate … [Read more...] about Top 7 Computer Vision Applications in Marketing

New Approaches For Leveraging NLP in Marketing & Advertising
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is one of the longest-standing areas of AI research. The idea of being able to speak to a computer and be understood, whether verbally or in writing, has been around for as long as the idea of artificial intelligence. These days, NLP has gone far beyond being merely a better input method - we’re able to use machine learning algorithms to … [Read more...] about New Approaches For Leveraging NLP in Marketing & Advertising
5 Ways Tech Companies Apply Reinforcement Learning To Marketing
Reinforcement learning (RL) is a field in machine learning that involves training software agents to determine the ideal behavior within a specific environment that is suitable for achieving optimized performance. In reinforcement learning, an agent is rewarded for any positive behavior (to encourage such actions) and punished for any negative behavior (to discourage such … [Read more...] about 5 Ways Tech Companies Apply Reinforcement Learning To Marketing
