Challenges and Opportunities in NLP Benchmarking
However, the traditional practices for evaluating performance of NLP models, using a single metric such as accuracy or BLEU, relying on static benchmarks and abstract task formulations no longer work as well in light of models' surprisingly robust superficial natural language understanding...
Artificial Intelligence & Autopilot
Hardware Build silicon chips that power our full self-driving software from the ground up, taking every small architectural and micro-architectural improvement into account while pushing hard to squeeze maximum silicon performance-per-watt.

Top four highlights of Elon Musk’s Tesla AI Day
On Thursday’s Tesla AI Day, the CEO described Tesla as a company with “deep AI activity in hardware on the inference level and on the training level” that can be used down the line for applications beyond self-driving cars, including a humanoid robot that Tesla is apparently building.
Now that machines can learn, can they unlearn?
A nascent area of computer science dubbed machine unlearning seeks ways to induce selective amnesia in artificial intelligence software. The goal is to remove all trace of a particular person or data point from a machine-learning system, without affecting its performance.
Being Human in the Time of Automation
The strategic role of service as society reopens Gain key insights from industry thought leaders about the role of service in an all-digital world. In the early 1980s, for instance, people were very skeptical that computers would ever meaningfully replace human travel agents.

How Boston Dynamics makes Atlas run, flip & vault
Robot perception algorithms are used to convert data from sensors like cameras and lidar into something useful for decision making and planning physical actions. While Atlas uses IMUs, joint positions, and force sensors to control its body motion and feel the ground for balance, it requires perception to identify and navigate obstacles
Is San Francisco the center of the emerging robotics universe?
Congratulations to Rapid Robotics, Osaro and Ample who all raised funding last week. All based in San Francisco, so perhaps the center of the robotics world is close to (my) home! Silicon Valley Robotics is quoted in The Guardian ‘Ten years ago this was science fiction’: the rise of weedkilling...
