Die Realität hat das #ZDf als auch @DasErste eingeholt: Die Zahlen sagen klar, dass es ein #TriellMitHabeck werden muss. Von meiner Seite noch: Es muss auch direkt im Fernsehen #barrierefrei mit #Gebärdensprache und #Untertitel sein. #Inklusion #eineechteAuswahl

Yesterday I gave a short talk about our research project @gestaltungai on the integration of AI in design education at the Design and AI Symposium at TU/e, wonderful session hosted by Stephan Wensveen with great input by Janet Huang and @davemurrayrust and a dedicated audience!

Today the symposium continues with @tobias_revell, who's blog and work I have been following for years! Great talk, thank you, Tobias! Looking forward to another intense day and visits around DDW in the evening and tomorrow morning, let me know if you are in Eindhoven as well!

The conference on Artificial Intelligence & Fundamental Rights kicked off yesterday with a focus on the impact of the European #AIAct. This was the refreshing first session with @j2bryson, looking forward to today's programme. Great to have this in Trier, thank you @IRDTrier!

Protein designers should be designing, not pipetting. AI models like AlphaFold, RFdiffusion & co make it easy to design new proteins. But a protein on the computer isn’t worth much by itself. At @adaptyvbio we’re building a platform that allows you to actually test your AI-designed proteins in the real-world! Upload your sequences and let our fully automated lab run the experiments. Then, download your results and feed them back into the AI models to design better proteins. Get started now: adaptyvbio.com/blog/beta

Excited to release a research preview of Feature Lab, a playground where you can sculpt images by editing their features. It uses a SAE to extract the sparse features from an image embeddings model, and allows us to finely sculpt and tweak images.

So here's a story of, by far, the weirdest bug I've encountered in my CS career. Along with @maciejwolczyk we've been training a neural network that learns how to play NetHack, an old roguelike game, that looks like in the screenshot. Recenlty, something unexpected happened.

swollen LiPo on a remote island. the ferry comes once a year and has no space for e-waste. 32C/90F everyday, soon it may explode—every building is a flammable thatched hut. “what if we bury it”, then the lithium goes into the ground water? welcome to the end of the supply chain.

A short report on my ongoing efforts to introduce students to ML concepts through creative coding assignments. Specifically, I've found semantic segmentation an excellent entry point for undergraduates.👇

LEAK: Given the massive public attention to the #AIAct, I've taken the rather unprecedented decision to publish the final text. The agreed text is on the right-hand side for those unfamiliar with four-column documents. Enjoy the reading! Some context: 1/6 drive.google.com/file/d/1xfN…

This paper starts out amazing and just keeps getting better arxiv.org/abs/2401.06133
A screenshot of a paper on arxiv, it reads: The possibility of making $138,000 from shredded banknote pieces using computer vision Every country must dispose of old banknotes. At the Hong Kong Monetary Authority visitor center, visitors can buy a paperweight souvenir full of shredded banknotes. Even though the shredded banknotes are small, by using computer vision, it is possible to reconstruct the whole banknote like a jigsaw puzzle. Each paperweight souvenir costs $100 HKD, and it is claimed to contain shredded banknotes equivalent to 138 complete $1000 HKD banknotes. In theory, $138,000 HKD can be recovered by using computer vision. This paper discusses the technique of collecting shredded banknote pieces and applying a computer vision program.

Screenshot from the paper, it reads: "This cylinder only contained 82.57/138 = 60% of the shredded banknote pieces that the label had claimed. Although this issue is not the focus of this paper, it appears that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has broken the law."
