AI for Broadcsaters, Future Has Already Begun… AI for Broadcsaters, future has already begun… By Dr. Veysel Binbay, Specialist Engineer @ ABU Technology & Innovation Department 0 Dr. Veysel Binbay I have been working as Specialist Engineer at ABU Technology and Innovation Department for one year, before that I had worked at TRT (Turkish Radio and Television Corporation) for more than 20 years as a broadcast engineer, and also as an IT Director. I have wide experience on Radio and TV broadcasting technologies, including IT systems also. My experience includes to design, to setup, and to operate analogue/hybrid/digital radio and TV broadcast systems. I have also experienced on IT Networks. 1/25 What is Artificial Intelligence ? • Programs that behave externally like humans? • Programs that operate internally as humans do? • Computational systems that behave intelligently? 2 Some Definitions Trials for AI: The exciting new effort to make computers think … machines with minds, in the full literal sense. Haugeland, 1985 3 Some Definitions Trials for AI: The study of mental faculties through the use of computational models. Charniak and McDermott, 1985 A field of study that seeks to explain and emulate intelligent behavior in terms of computational processes.

The team increased the capacity of GPT-3 by over two orders of magnitude from that of its predecessor, GPT-2, making GPT-3 the largest non-sparse language model to date. 34 GPT-3 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer-3) GPT-3 can "generate news articles which human evaluators have difficulty distinguishing from articles written by humans,“ https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/sep/08/ robot-wrote-this-article-gpt-3 35 Practical world: Tech giants and broadcasting media companies are embracing this futuristic technology and infusing it throughout production workflows and video libraries. And, as noted in a 2019 report by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the rewards of using AI in broadcast are significant – from increased efficiency and flexibility to cost savings during program production. 36 37 Practical world: The BBC research and development team in 2018 tapped AI machine learning algorithms to delve into the treasures of the BBC archive. Computers trawled through thousands of hours of legacy content dating back to 1953, using information from past scheduling, content metadata and other program attributes, and generated programming across two full days, branded as “BBC 4.1.” 38 Practical world: For the first time in 2016, Watson, IBM’s AI technology, was programmed to find areas of high action or high emotion from the movie Morgan and make those selects to help an experienced editor create a trailer. 39 Practical world: Netflix’s unmatched recommendation system, in which algorithms analyze and detect patterns from data related to users' viewing habits to suggest the right content tailored to each of its users. On the platform, more than 75 percent of viewer activity is influenced by the recommendation algorithm, according to the U.S. streaming service which has 167 million subscribers worldwide. This AI-driven recommendation engine results in a richer and personalized experience for consumers, which in turn leads to constant revenue generation for the brand. 40 Practical world: 41 Practical world: Practical world: 43 Practical world: 44 Potential AI applications for broadcasters: Quality Check Search Metadata (generation and process) Compliance (restrictions, regulations…) Editing Highlighting Advertising Subtitling and Close captioning Supervision Even presenting the News!... 46 You have all the sources already available: Microsoft: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/overview/ai- platform/ Google: https://cloud.google.com/products/ai Google’s Vision API: https://cloud.google.com/vision/ 47 You have all the sources already available: IBM: https://www.ibm.com/my-en/services/artificial- intelligence IBM’s Watson : https://www.ibm.com/cloud/watson-assistant-2/ Amazon: https://aws.amazon.com/ai/ 48 You have all the sources already available: idealsys: https://www.idealsys.com/ideal-cloud VSN: https://www.vsn-tv.com/en/artificial-intelligence- applications-broadcast-and-media/ Limecraft: https://www.limecraft.com/features/ 49 You have all the sources already available: And many more… 50 My suggestion: wait no more… 51 Dr. Veysel Binbay 52.

  • AI Computer Wraps up 4-1 Victory Against Human Champion Nature Reports from Alphago's Victory in Seoul
    The Go Files: AI computer wraps up 4-1 victory against human champion Nature reports from AlphaGo's victory in Seoul. Tanguy Chouard 15 March 2016 SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA Google DeepMind Lee Sedol, who has lost 4-1 to AlphaGo. Tanguy Chouard, an editor with Nature, saw Google-DeepMind’s AI system AlphaGo defeat a human professional for the first time last year at the ancient board game Go. This week, he is watching top professional Lee Sedol take on AlphaGo, in Seoul, for a $1 million prize. It’s all over at the Four Seasons Hotel in Seoul, where this morning AlphaGo wrapped up a 4-1 victory over Lee Sedol — incidentally, earning itself and its creators an honorary '9-dan professional' degree from the Korean Baduk Association. After winning the first three games, Google-DeepMind's computer looked impregnable. But the last two games may have revealed some weaknesses in its makeup. Game four totally changed the Go world’s view on AlphaGo’s dominance because it made it clear that the computer can 'bug' — or at least play very poor moves when on the losing side. It was obvious that Lee felt under much less pressure than in game three. And he adopted a different style, one based on taking large amounts of territory early on rather than immediately going for ‘street fighting’ such as making threats to capture stones. This style – called ‘amashi’ – seems to have paid off, because on move 78, Lee produced a play that somehow slipped under AlphaGo’s radar. David Silver, a scientist at DeepMind who's been leading the development of AlphaGo, said the program estimated its probability as 1 in 10,000.

  • Understanding & Generalizing Alphago Zero
    Under review as a conference paper at ICLR 2019 UNDERSTANDING &GENERALIZING ALPHAGO ZERO Anonymous authors Paper under double-blind review ABSTRACT AlphaGo Zero (AGZ) (Silver et al., 2017b) introduced a new tabula rasa rein- forcement learning algorithm that has achieved superhuman performance in the games of Go, Chess, and Shogi with no prior knowledge other than the rules of the game. This success naturally begs the question whether it is possible to develop similar high-performance reinforcement learning algorithms for generic sequential decision-making problems (beyond two-player games), using only the constraints of the environment as the “rules.” To address this challenge, we start by taking steps towards developing a formal understanding of AGZ. AGZ includes two key innovations: (1) it learns a policy (represented as a neural network) using super- vised learning with cross-entropy loss from samples generated via Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS); (2) it uses self-play to learn without training data. We argue that the self-play in AGZ corresponds to learning a Nash equilibrium for the two-player game; and the supervised learning with MCTS is attempting to learn the policy corresponding to the Nash equilibrium, by establishing a novel bound on the difference between the expected return achieved by two policies in terms of the expected KL divergence (cross-entropy) of their induced distributions. To extend AGZ to generic sequential decision-making problems, we introduce a robust MDP framework, in which the agent and nature effectively play a zero-sum game: the agent aims to take actions to maximize reward while nature seeks state transitions, subject to the constraints of that environment, that minimize the agent’s reward.

  • Efficiently Mastering the Game of Nogo with Deep Reinforcement
    electronics Article Efficiently Mastering the Game of NoGo with Deep Reinforcement Learning Supported by Domain Knowledge Yifan Gao 1,*,† and Lezhou Wu 2,† 1 College of Medicine and Biological Information Engineering, Northeastern University, Liaoning 110819, China 2 College of Information Science and Engineering, Northeastern University, Liaoning 110819, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] † These authors contributed equally to this work. Abstract: Computer games have been regarded as an important field of artificial intelligence (AI) for a long time. The AlphaZero structure has been successful in the game of Go, beating the top professional human players and becoming the baseline method in computer games. However, the AlphaZero training process requires tremendous computing resources, imposing additional difficulties for the AlphaZero-based AI. In this paper, we propose NoGoZero+ to improve the AlphaZero process and apply it to a game similar to Go, NoGo. NoGoZero+ employs several innovative features to improve training speed and performance, and most improvement strategies can be transferred to other nonspecific areas. This paper compares it with the original AlphaZero process, and results show that NoGoZero+ increases the training speed to about six times that of the original AlphaZero process. Moreover, in the experiment, our agent beat the original AlphaZero agent with a score of 81:19 after only being trained by 20,000 self-play games’ data (small in quantity compared with Citation: Gao, Y.; Wu, L. Efficiently 120,000 self-play games’ data consumed by the original AlphaZero). The NoGo game program based Mastering the Game of NoGo with on NoGoZero+ was the runner-up in the 2020 China Computer Game Championship (CCGC) with Deep Reinforcement Learning limited resources, defeating many AlphaZero-based programs.

  • Artificial Intelligence Ethics and Well Being
    Artificial Intelligence Ethics and Well Being Dr. Sanjay Modgil Reader in Artificial Intelligence Reasoning and Planning Group, King’s College London [email protected] Ethics and Well-Being (The ‘Good’) § Some (hopefully) uncontroversial assumptions: 1. Governance aims at ‘impartially’ maximising well-being (broadly construed) 2. Many human biases/dispositions evolved to satisfy basic conceptions of well-being (food, shelter …) in radically different and harsher environments of distant ancestors living/hunting in smaller groups or tribes whose survival depended on intra-tribe harmony and confrontation with other tribes 3. Larger social groupings, collaboration, cooperation, division of labour, economic surplus etc enabled pursuit of more sustainable and richly satisfying notions of well-being accompanied by the normative goal of impartial maximising well-being 4. But pursuit of these more enlightened culturally evolved notions of well being often in tension with older more ‘hard-coded’ biases/dispositions The Evolving Role of Government and Policy Assumptions (continued) 5. Hence we witness contractarian encodings of the better angels of our nature whose wings would be clipped by our more base instincts and biases… … if it were not for policy and regulation that ideally facilitates impartial realisation of more enlightened notions of well-being - For example taxation to help those less well of, those with disabilities, those who have been dealt a bad hand through no fault of their own, taxation to subsidize arts … sugar tax ? ….

  • The Role of Technology in Online Misinformation Sarah Kreps
    THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN ONLINE MISINFORMATION SARAH KREPS JUNE 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY States have long interfered in the domestic politics of other states. Foreign election interference is nothing new, nor are misinformation campaigns. The new feature of the 2016 election was the role of technology in personalizing and then amplifying the information to maximize the impact. As a 2019 Senate Select Committee on Intelligence report concluded, malicious actors will continue to weaponize information and develop increasingly sophisticated tools for personalizing, targeting, and scaling up the content. This report focuses on those tools. It outlines the logic of digital personalization, which uses big data to analyze individual interests to determine the types of messages most likely to resonate with particular demographics. The report speaks to the role of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and neural networks in creating tools that distinguish quickly between objects, for example a stop sign versus a kite, or in a battlefield context, a combatant versus a civilian. Those same technologies can also operate in the service of misinformation through text prediction tools that receive user inputs and produce new text that is as credible as the original text itself. The report addresses potential policy solutions that can counter digital personalization, closing with a discussion of regulatory or normative tools that are less likely to be effective in countering the adverse effects of digital technology. INTRODUCTION and machine learning about user behavior to manipulate public opinion, allowed social media Meddling in domestic elections is nothing new as bots to target individuals or demographics known a tool of foreign influence.
