Artificial intelligence built by Facebook has learned to classify images from 1 billion Instagram photos. The AI used a different learning technique to many other similar algorithms, relying less on input from humans.

Facebook AI can translate directly between any of 100 languages
Facebook has developed an AI that can translate directly between any pair of 100 languages without having to go through an English translation first, as many existing systems do Source: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2257637-facebook-ai-can-translate-directly-between-any-of-100-languages/?utm_campaign=RSS%7CNSNS&utm_source=NSNS&utm_medium=RSS&utm_content=home…
Facebook Trains An AI To Navigate Without Needing a Map
A team at Facebook AI has created a reinforcement learning algorithm that lets a robot find its way in an unfamiliar environment without using a map. MIT Technology Review reports: Using just a depth-sensing camera, GPS, and compass data, the algorithm gets a robot to its goal 99.9% of the time along a route that is very close to the shortest…
Facebook Has a Neural Network That Can Do Advanced Math
Guillaume Lample and Francois Charton, at Facebook AI Research in Paris, say they have developed an algorithm that can calculate integrals and solve differential equations. MIT Technology Review reports: Neural networks have become hugely accomplished at pattern-recognition tasks such as face and object recognition, certain kinds of natural language processing, and even playing games like chess, Go, and Space Invaders. But…
Facebook AI Can Now Alter Videos to ‘Hide’ People From Facial Recognition
Facebook AI Research created a system for the de-identification of individuals in videos, reports VentureBeat: It maps a slightly distorted version on a person’s face in order to make it difficult for facial recognition technology to identify a person… Like faceswap deepfake software, the AI uses an encoder-decoder architecture to generate both a mask and an image. During training, the person’s…
AI Researchers Launch SuperGLUE, a Rigorous Benchmark For Language Understanding
Facebook AI Research, together with Google’s DeepMind, University of Washington, and New York University, today introduced SuperGLUE, a series of benchmark tasks to measure the performance of modern, high performance language-understanding AI. From a report: SuperGLUE was made on the premise that deep learning models for conversational AI have “hit a ceiling” and need greater challenges. It uses Google’s BERT as…
Facebook AI Pluribus Defeats Top Poker Pros In 6-Player Texas Hold ‘Em
Carnegie Mellon University and Facebook AI research scientists have developed an AI dubbed Pluribus that took on 15 professional human players in six-player no-limit Texas Hold ’em and won. The researchers describe how they achieved this feat in a new paper in Science. Ars Technica reports: Playing more than 5,000 hands each time, five copies of the AI took on two…
