What’s New in Deep Learning Research: Inside Google’s Semantic Experiences

Last week Google Research made news with the release of Semantic Experiences, a website that serves as a playground to evaluate some of the new advancements in natural language understanding(NLU) technologies. The initial release included two pseudo-games that illustrates the practical viability of some of Google’s latest NLU research. The second initiatives included in Semantic Experiences is Semantris, a game powered by machine learning, where you type out words associated with a given prompt.

The experience might seem trivial but, speaking as an end user, I can tell you it can become addictive. Google’s Talk to Books and Semantris are both the first practical implementations of the Universal Sentence Encoder technique. This method was recently outlined in a paper published by a team of researchers at Google that includes world-renown author and futurist Ray Kurzweil.

Conceptually, the Universal Sentence Encoder technique focuses on representing language in a vector space using vectors that represents large text sections such as sentences or paragraphs vs. the traditional models that focused mostly on word vectors.

I recently started reading “Deep Learning with R”, and I’ve been really impressed with the support that R has for digging into deep learning. One of the use cases presented in the book is predicting prices for homes in Boston, which is an interesting problem because homes can have such wide variations in values. This is a machine learning problem that is probably best suited for classical approaches, such as XGBoost, because the data set is structured rather than perceptual data.

Artificial Neural Nets Grow Brainlike Navigation Cells

Having the sense to take a shortcut, the most direct route from point A to point B, doesn’t sound like a very impressive test of intelligence. Yet according to a new report appearing today in Nature, in which researchers describe the performance of their new navigational artificial intelligence, the system’s ability to explore complex simulated environments and find the shortest route to a goal put it in a class previously reserved for humans and other living things. The surprising key to the system’s performance was that while learning how to navigate, the neural net spontaneously developed the equivalent of “grid cells,” sets of brain cells that enable at least some mammals to track their location in space.
