TensorBoard: Embedding Visualization for Tensorflow

Embeddings are ubiquitous in machine learning, appearing in recommender systems, NLP, and many other applications. Indeed, in the context of TensorFlow, it’s natural to view tensors (or slices of tensors) as points in space, so almost any TensorFlow system will naturally give rise to various embeddings. To learn more about embeddings and how to train Read more about TensorBoard: Embedding Visualization for Tensorflow[…]

Open-sourcing DeepMind Lab

DeepMind Lab is a fully 3D game-like platform tailored for agent-based AI research. It is observed from a first-person viewpoint, through the eyes of the simulated agent. Scenes are rendered with rich science fiction-style visuals. The available actions allow agents to look around and move in 3D. The agent’s “body” is a floating orb. It Read more about Open-sourcing DeepMind Lab[…]

OpenAI Universe allows your AI to train on games, browsers by looking at screen pixels. Uses Gym (also OSS) for algo devs

We’re releasing Universe, a software platform for measuring and training an AI’s general intelligence across the world’s supply of games, websites and other applications. Universe allows an AI agent to use a computer like a human does: by looking at screen pixels and operating a virtual keyboard and mouse. We must train AI systems on Read more about OpenAI Universe allows your AI to train on games, browsers by looking at screen pixels. Uses Gym (also OSS) for algo devs[…]

Guessing valid credit card numbers in six seconds? Priceless

Fraudsters can guess credit card numbers in as little as six seconds per attempt thanks to security gaps in Visa’s network, academics say. The brute force attacks allow criminals to bombard Visa with card payment requests across multiple sites with each attempt narrowing the possible combinations until a valid card number and expiry date are Read more about Guessing valid credit card numbers in six seconds?

Vulnerability Note VU#582384 – Multiple Netgear routers are vulnerable to arbitrary command injection

Netgear R7000, firmware version 1.0.7.2_1.1.93 and possibly earlier, and R6400, firmware version 1.0.1.12_1.0.11 and possibly earlier, contain an arbitrary command injection vulnerability. By convincing a user to visit a specially crafted web site, a remote unauthenticated attacker may execute arbitrary commands with root privileges on affected routers. A LAN-based attacker may do the same by Read more about Vulnerability Note VU#582384 – Multiple Netgear routers are vulnerable to arbitrary command injection[…]

How IBM Watson saved the life of a woman dying from cancer, exec says – Business Insider

“There’s a 60-year-old woman in Tokyo. She was at the University of Tokyo. She had been diagnosed with leukemia six years ago. She was living, but not healthy. So the University of Tokyo ran her genomic sequence through Watson and it was able to ascertain that they were off by one thing. Actually, she had Read more about How IBM Watson saved the life of a woman dying from cancer, exec says – Business Insider[…]
