Furious AI Researcher Creates Site Shaming Non-Reproducible Machine Learning Papers
"Probably 50%-75% of all papers are unreproducible. It's sad, but it's true."

Brains that Fire Together Wire Together: Interbrain Plasticity Underlies Learning in Social Interactions - Research by Simone G. Shamay-Tsoory
Abstract: Social interactions are powerful determinants of learning. Yet the field of neuroplasticity is deeply rooted in probing changes occurring in synapses, brain structures, and networks within an individual brain. Here I synthesize disparate findings on network neuroplasticity and mechanisms of social interactions to propose a new approach for understanding interaction-based learning that focuses on the dynamics of interbrain coupling. I argue that the facilitation effect of social interactions on learning may be explained by interbrain plasticity, defined here as the short- and long-term experience-dependent changes in interbrain coupling. The interbrain plasticity approach may radically change our understanding of how we learn in social interactions.

Was asked by a journalist to comment on the "National Commission on Artificial Intelligence report" that was just released. Responded with the following remarks:
Nothing new under the sun, the military industrial complex is still totally out of control and war is still the name of the game. "AI weapons" and killer robots add just yet another layer of deadly bullshit on top. It's brutal insanity and everyone knows it, yet think tank staffers from DC to Beijing keep assuring us it's "progress and necessary". A real discussion around "how AI can help to promote peace globally" is what is truly required - but you certainly won't find it on the agenda of pentagon operatives or intelligence agency billionaires like the Eric Schmidt's of the world.
The article is live here: U.S. is ‘not prepared to defend or compete in the A.I. era,’ says expert group chaired by Eric Schmidt (CNBC)

Memory Without a Brain: How a Single Cell Slime Mold Makes Smart Decisions (scitechdaily)
Article about the paper: Encoding memory in tube diameter hierarchy of living flow network: "We follow experimentally the organism’s response to a nutrient source and find that memory about nutrient location is encoded in the morphology of the network-shaped organism."

Five years ago, i had the pleasure of chatting with @vakibs about AI and a friendlier, more human world. After that, he wrote this insightful blog post. Fun to revisit today.

There Are Spying Eyes Everywhere—and Now They Share a Brain (Wired)
Security cameras. License plate readers. Smartphone trackers. Drones. We’re being watched 24/7. What happens when all those data streams fuse into one?

Stem cell AI -- 'brain on a chip' project aims to revolutionize computing power (eurekalert)
The Neu-ChiP project, an international collaboration led by researchers at Aston University, has been awarded €3.5m (£3.06m) to show how neurons - the brain's information processors - can be harnessed to supercharge computers' ability to learn while dramatically cutting energy use.

Recognizing Pose Similarity in Images and Videos (Google)
In “View-Invariant Probabilistic Embedding for Human Pose” (Pr-VIPE), we present a new algorithm for human pose perception that recognizes similarity in human body poses across different camera views by mapping 2D body pose keypoints to a view-invariant embedding space. This ability enables tasks, such as pose retrieval, action recognition, action video synchronization, and more. We have released the code on our GitHub repo.

AI Update, Late 2020 - dumpster fire - by Filip Piekniewski
2020 is a very strange year and a dumpster fire in many respects. Everything is still holding together but it feels like the news we get are just progressively more absurd. Similarly is the case with AI where a slow motion train wreck is progressing eliminating more and more hyped up companies and researchers. There could still be more waste to come, though there is a feeling of decline in the air.

'Electronic amoeba' finds approximate solution to traveling salesman problem in linear time
Researchers have, inspired by the efficient foraging behavior of a single-celled amoeba, developed an analog computer for finding a reliable and swift solution to the traveling salesman problem -- a representative combinatorial optimization problem. (Paper)

Japan Government Allocates USD 19M to Boost AI Matchmaking in 47 Prefectures (japantimes)
With annual birth rate plummeting to 5.8 percent in 2019, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga’s government pledges to allocate USD 19 Million in the next fiscal year to help local authorities run AI matchmaking.
Japan’s birth rate is declining - and fast. Could AI be the solution? (WEF)
The Japanese government is looking to develop an advanced AI matchmaking system to stem the country's falling birth rate. The system takes into account age, income, hobbies and values before pairing up a potential match. Japan's birthrate was down 5.8% in 2019, the lowest annual figure ever.

"The body provides something for the spirit to look after and use." - Alan Turing
#Comment: This quote nicely illustrates the great contempt Turing - and the majority of the contemporary scientific establishment - have for the Human Body. The underlying dualistic believe system - which ultimately perceives the body as a irrelevant nuisances and the disembodied intellect ("spirit") as the true king - is truly sickening for mindbody.
