Why Active Learning Fails: Pairing active learning with visual question answering.
Where labeled training data is scarce, an algorithm can learn to request labels for key examples. While this practice, known as active learning, can supply labeled examples that improve performance in some tasks, it fails in others.

Image Transformations Unmasked: CNNs for vision that aren't fooled by changing backgrounds.
If you change an image by moving its subject within the frame, a well trained convolutional neural network may not recognize the fundamental similarity between the two versions. New research aims to make CNN wise to such alterations.

Large Language Models Shrink: Gopher and RETRO prove lean language models can push boundaries.
DeepMind released three papers that push the boundaries — and examine the issues — of large language models.

Reinforcement Learning Transformed: Transformers succeed at reinforcemend learning tasks.
Transformers have matched or exceeded earlier architectures in language modeling and image classification. New work shows they can achieve state-of-the-art results in some reinforcement learning tasks as well.

Recognizing Autism: AI research can help identify autism early in children.
Classical machine learning techniques could help children with autism receive treatment earlier in life. Researchers led by Ishanu Chattopadhyay at University of Chicago developed a system that classified autism in young children based on data collected during routine checkups.

Richer Video Representations: Pretraining Method Improves AI's Ability to Understand Video
To understand a movie scene, viewers often must remember or infer previous events and extrapolate potential consequences. New work improved a model’s ability to do the same.

Different Strokes for Robot Folks: Transformer-Based Image Generator Imitates Painters
A neural network can make a photo resemble a painting via neural style transfer, but it can also learn to reproduce an image by applying brush strokes. A new method taught a system this painterly skill without any training data.
