3 Questions: Modeling adversarial intelligence to exploit AI’s security vulnerabilities
[ad_1] If you’ve watched cartoons like Tom and Jerry, you’ll recognize a common theme: An elusive target avoids his formidable adversary. This game of “cat-and-mouse” — whether literal or otherwise — involves pursuing something that ever-so-narrowly escapes you at each try. In a similar way, evading persistent hackers is a continuous challenge for cybersecurity teams….
Teaching AI to communicate sounds like humans do
[ad_1] Whether you’re describing the sound of your faulty car engine or meowing like your neighbor’s cat, imitating sounds with your voice can be a helpful way to relay a concept when words don’t do the trick. Vocal imitation is the sonic equivalent of doodling a quick picture to communicate something you saw — except…
Ecologists find computer vision models’ blind spots in retrieving wildlife images
[ad_1] Try taking a picture of each of North America’s roughly 11,000 tree species, and you’ll have a mere fraction of the millions of photos within nature image datasets. These massive collections of snapshots — ranging from butterflies to humpback whales — are a great research tool for ecologists because they provide evidence of organisms’ unique behaviors, rare…
