Machine learning
- Machine Learning (journal)In 2001, forty editors of the journal Machine Learning resigned at once. They objected to the price of access.
- Mechanistic interpretabilityMechanistic interpretability, nicknamed mech interp, mechinterp or simply MI, treats a trained neural network the way a reverse engineer treats a finished program. Nobody hands over the original plans. The analyst opens the thing up and…
- Developmental roboticsNo developmental robotics experiment has yet run longer than a few days.
- Fine-tuning (deep learning)Fine-tuning is how OpenAI's GPT models became ChatGPT. A network trained on broad data is adapted to a narrower task.
- Contrastive Language-Image Pre-trainingCLIP can sort a photo into a category it was never trained on. It links images and text in one shared space.
- Claude (language model)Around 200 people held a funeral for a retired AI model in San Francisco.
- Machine learningMachine learning began with an IBM researcher teaching a computer to estimate its chances of winning at checkers.
- Hugging FaceHugging Face began as a chatbot app for teenagers. Developers cared more about its code, so the founders changed course.
- Generative AIGenerative artificial intelligence arrived in public view not with a single announcement but with a moment of recognition. In November 2022, ChatGPT became available to anyone with an internet connection, and within weeks millions of…
- Transfer learningA system that learns to spot cars already knows something about trucks. That carryover is called transfer learning.
- Apprenticeship learningA robot learned helicopter loops and flips by watching an expert fly. The method is called apprenticeship learning.
- Fairness (machine learning)In 2016, ProPublica found a court risk tool wrongly flagged black defendants almost twice as often as white ones.
- Pattern recognitionHow does a machine sort data into categories it was never explicitly shown? That is pattern recognition.
- Attention (machine learning)A network translating "I love you" into French put 95% of its attention on "love" to write "aime".
- Hallucination (artificial intelligence)A data scientist invented a fake term and asked ChatGPT to explain it.
