RT @rajiinio: To all the people scammed by @sirajraval that found themselves out of $199 and still without any idea of what ML is, I suggest @fastdotai. It’s free, it’s a solid start and @jeremyphoward and @math_rachel are amongst the loveliest people I’ve ever met.

OpenYouTuber charged loads of fans $199 for shoddy machine-learning course that copy-pasted other people's GitHub code
Oh, and there wasn't a refund policy until folk complained
Out today: TensorFlow 2.0.
The framework includes tight Keras integration, expanded datasets, GPU acceleration features and more: https://t.co/Skx1QkUXVe (v/@TensorFlow) https://t.co/WWLrChhxaK
OpenTensorFlow 2.0 is now available!
Earlier this year, we announced TensorFlow 2.0 in alpha at the TensorFlow Dev Summit. Today, we’re delighted to announce that the final…
Ethics
“Ethics is more a habit or muscle, than a code (in either sense). It’s a way of thinking and reasoning, not a rigid framework. It’s nurtured in real life contexts and built up more like case law than a constitution”

OpenAI ethics and the limits of code(s)
Geoff Mulgan suggests five ways AI ethics needs to be radically reshaped
RT @latonero: The first meeting of my AI Governance & Human Rights study group @CarrCenter @Kennedy_School is about to begin. Can human rights serve as a North Star to guide AI development, deployment, and integration? #AI #rights https://t.co/Zu1Ni8nMj0

OpenUltra-Wide Deep Nets and the Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK)
Traditional wisdom in machine learning holds that there is a careful trade-off between training error and generalization gap. There is a "sweet spot" for the model complexity such that the ...
RT @ch402: Do you formally know Monte-Carlo and TD learning, but don't intuitively understand the difference? This is for you.

RT @ermonste: If all training images for a GAN/VAE/PixelCNN have 2 objects, will they only generate images with 2 objects? If trained on (🔵,💙,🔴), will they also generate ❤️? Find out in @shengjia_zhao's blog post on generalization and bias for generative models.
