AI Is Taking Over the Cloud
Cloud storage company Box just announced, that it will enable more sophisticated search functionality by incorporating Googles Cloud Vision API. This allows search for contents of an image, instead of plain filename matching and demonstrates the abilities of machine learning in the cloud. At the same time it tells a lot about the influence of the major machine learning players, as Box uses Google’s off the shelf solution, instead of something they built on their own.

Did Elon Musk’s AI champ destroy humans at video games? It’s complicated
Last weeks OpenAI bot vs. human Dota 2 match has created a very vivid discussion, about hype, ‘cheating’ and what the match actually means for AI. The Verge gives an overview and joins WildML in saying that the challenge was significantly easier than the famous Go siege of AlphaGo.

Automatic image retouching on your phone
Google and MIT teamed up to boost the camera performance in mobile phones using a newly developed machine-learning photography system. The system works so fast, that it’s able to post process the images in real-time and the phone can show the processed image to the user immediately. For more details, take a look at the corresponding paper.

Cooperatively Learning Human Values
This article describes an issue, known as the ‘Value Alignment Problem’, which leads to undesired behavior when training models using reinforcement learning. This problem is the problem of matching AI objectives to ours. The article describes the problem in detail and shares solutions on how to identify and fix the issue.
