    The importance of certain layers in DNNs

    This week we are joined by Ari Morcos. Ari is a research scientist at Facebook AI Research (FAIR) in Menlo Park working on understanding the mechanisms underlying neural network computation and function, and using these insights to build machine learning systems more intelligently. In particular, he has worked on a variety of topics, including understanding the lottery ticket hypothesis, self-supervised learning, the mechanisms underlying common regularizers, and the properties predictive of generalization, as well as methods to compare representations across networks, the role of single units in computation, and on strategies to measure abstraction in neural network representations. Previously, he worked at DeepMind in London. Ari earned his PhD working with Chris Harvey at Harvard University. For his thesis, he developed methods to understand how neuronal circuits perform the computations necessary for complex behaviour. In particular, his research focused on how parietal cortex contributes to evidence accumulation decision-making. In this episode, we discuss the importance of certain layers within neural networks.

    Understanding a microprocessor and the evolution of hardware

    This week we are joined by Julius Adebayo. Julius is a CS PhD student at MIT, interested in safe deployment of ML based systems as it relates to privacy/security, interpretability, fairness and robustness. He is motivated by the need to ensure that ML based systems demonstrate safe behaviour when deployed. On this weeks episode we discuss how the evolution of hardware has progressed overtime and what that means for deep learning research. We also analyse how microprocessors can aid developments in neuroscience understanding.

She is the creator of Music Transformer and also the ML model Coconet that powered Google’s first AI Doodle the Bach Doodle. She holds a PhD in computer science from Harvard University and was a recipient of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. She spent the later parts of her PhD as a visiting research student at the Montreal Institute of Learning Algorithms (MILA). She publishes in machine learning, human-computer interaction, and music, at conferences such as ICLR, IUI, CHI, and ISMIR. She has been a judge on the Eurovision AI Song Contest and her compositions have won awards including first place in the San Francisco Choral Artists’ a cappella composition contest. She holds a masters in media arts and sciences from the MIT Media Lab, and a B.S. in computer science and B.M. in music composition both from the University of Southern California. She grew up in Hong Kong, where she learned to play the guzheng. On the episode we discuss Metaphoria by Kate Gero and Lydia Chilton, which is a fascinating tool allowing users to generate metaphors from only a select number of words. We also discuss the current trends regarding the dangers of AI with a case study on child welfare.
