Advancing state-of-the-art image recognition with deep learning on hashtags

Image recognition is one of the pillars of AI research and an area of focus for Facebook. Our researchers and engineers aim to push the boundaries of computer vision and then apply that work to benefit people in the real world — for example, using AI to generate audio captions of photos for visually impaired users. In order to improve these computer vision systems and train them to consistently recognize and classify a wide range of objects, we need data sets with billions of images instead of just millions, as is common today.

Measuring the Intrinsic Dimension of Objective Landscapes

Measuring the Intrinsic Dimension of Objective Landscapes

In our paper, Measuring the Intrinsic Dimension of Objective Landscapes, to be presented at ICLR 2018, we contribute to this ongoing effort by developing a simple way of measuring a fundamental network property known as intrinsic dimension. In the paper, we develop intrinsic dimension as a quantification of the complexity of a model in a manner decoupled from its raw parameter count, and we provide a simple way of measuring this dimension using random projections. We find that many problems have smaller intrinsic dimension than one might suspect.

What tech calls “AI” isn’t really AI

First, the problem itself is poorly defined: what do you mean by intelligence? Nature, with all her blind hideous strength, endless experimentation and wild wastes of infinite time, has only managed the trick once (by our narrow definition), with one species of tree-ape on a rolling green world. Even if you believe there’s intelligent biological life elsewhere, the stats aren’t promising.

Facebook Open Sources ELF OpenGo

Inspired by DeepMind’s work, we kicked off an effort earlier this year to reproduce their recent AlphaGoZero results using FAIR’s Extensible, Lightweight Framework (ELF) for reinforcement learning research. The goal was to create an open source implementation of a system that would teach itself how to play Go at the level of a professional human player or better. By releasing our code and models we hoped to inspire others to think about new applications and research directions for this technology.
