Hey everyone. I hope you are well. In this issue, we dive into an ML research essay on the social dilemma, some exciting deals to make your AI-holiday shopping even better, the misconceptions of AI and the challenges of natural language generation (NLG), an updated chart of all significant neural networks, and the ML research paper highlight of theΒ month.
This issue is brought to you thanks to our friends at AmazonΒ Science:

Check out the Amazon Science website to learn more about the companyβs unique approach to customer-obsessed science, and how it helps attract some of the brightest minds in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and related fields. Find blog posts and research papers from Amazon scientists and academics, including which conferences theyβll be attending, and how to collaborate. View available jobs.
Before we get started, I wanted to let you know that we have decided to publish the latest machine learning research every weekday after 8 PM ET. All based on your opinion, it seems that you are even hungrier for moreβββresearch in AI, CV, NLP, and others. So stay tuned; weβll keep you updated with what we decide on doing to keep you up toΒ date.
All right, so letβs get toΒ it.
An Essay by ML Researchers on βThe SocialΒ Dilemmaβ
Deja Vu much? Researchers at Carnegie Mellon argue on the blog βWhen Curation Becomes Creation: Algorithms, microcontent, and the vanishing distinction between platforms and creatorsβ the challenges of implementing the right policies and regulations that balance ethics, the economy, individual rights, and proprietary data. The thorough essay showcases the gray areas between every piece of content published and distributed on the internet and what we can do aboutΒ it.
AI-Holiday Deals
Ho ho ho! I hope I donβt bore you too much with these. But! In case you are looking for a new AI rig, we just updated our shopping recommendations for deep learning laptops or AI workstations. So please take a look, and as always, all feedback is welcomeβββif you do get one (and have browser cookies enabled), youβll be supporting us, and we genuinely appreciate it.
AI Misconceptions and the Challenges ofΒ NLG
Artificial intelligenceβs public point of view can be strongly misguided. This blog post dives on AI facts and myths, highlighting Stanford researcher Abigail See, which showcases some genuinely exciting problems with the publicβs understanding of AI, to the challenges of natural language generation, along with whatβs in the future for generative modelsβββas more and more become part of our dailyΒ lives.
Neural Network Topologies
We just updated our chart on the types of neural networks and their applications, diving from the perceptron all the way to complex neural networks, such as a Neural Turing Machine (NTM), to generative adversarial networks (GANs), and deep convolutional inverse graphics networks.
ML Research Paper Highlight of theΒ Month
Wolfgang Konen and Samineh Bagheri from the University of Applied Sciences in Germany published a cool paper called βFinal Adaptation Reinforcement Learning for N-Player Games,β which concentrates n-tuple based reinforcement learning algorithms for games, specifically new ones tackling TD-, SARSA-, and Q-learning. All reproducible and open-source code for the paper is available onΒ Github.
