Maybe we don't have enough threads yet to knit together the whole, but let's try anyway! We present our view of what is necessary for conversational AI, and the pieces we have worked on so far to get there.
Over 100,000 variants have been implicated in human traits through genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Virtually all reported GWAS identify associations by measuring the correlation between a single variant and a phenotype of interest.
Computer networks have undergone and continue to experience a major transformation, whereby billions of low-cost devices are being connected to the network to provide additional functionality and better user experience.
Computer scientists firmly believe that no algorithm can efficiently compute optimal solutions to a class of problems called NP-hard problems. For many NP-hard problems, even computing an approximately optimal solution remains NP-hard.
Reinforcement learning is now the dominant paradigm for how an agent learns to interact with the world.
Social computing has permeated most aspects of our lives, from work to play. In recent years, however, social platforms have faced challenges ranging from labor concerns about crowd work to misinformation on social media.
Ever since modern computers were invented, the dream of creating artificial intelligence (AI) has captivated humanity.
Artist Alexa Meade paints on the human body and three-dimensional spaces, creating the illusion that our reality is a two-dimensional painting. She will discuss her artistic process and collaborations with mathematicians, magicians, and theoretical physicists.
Artificial Intelligence has quickly moved from being a thing of science fiction to driving business forward across a wide variety of industries including retail, manufacturing, oil and gas, health, and financial services.
With Moore's Law coming to an end, architects must find ways to sustain performance growth without technology scaling. The most promising path is to build highly parallel systems that harness thousands of simple and efficient cores.
