God in the Machine: Westworld of HBO 2016
“These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which, as they kiss, consume.”
~William Shakespeare
Last week, I finished watching the amazing TV series Westworld. As a Sci-Fi fan, I kindly tired of the repeated laser gun and space ships, this TV series is really an open-minded setup with a solid storyline of Artificial Intelligence (Hosts) and Human (Makers/Vistors).
Imagine that technology was so advanced, you could step into a wholly immersive virtual reality world that was very nearly as real as our own. A theme park, where you can live out your fantasies. No awkward headsets or VR to wear. No fuzzy graphics, keyboard, and mice. Because it’s all real—for the most part.
You can buy drinks at the local saloon, or pay for sex with one of the AI prostitutes at the bar. You can get in gun fights with outlaws, or save the town from murderous highwaymen. Or, if you really want to, you can go to a farm house, kill the elderly parents there and rape their daughter. This is where the stories are written, tinkered with, and the microcosm of Westworld manipulated for the entertainment of its guests.

Google open sources Embedding Projector to make high-dimensional data more manageable
Dear friends, I’m sharing this great news that Google opens Embedding Projector for the world. Now everyone could enjoy the convenient approach to visualize high dimensional data on the web browser.
Based on my personal programming experience, t-SNE is a great method for high-dimensional data visualization, better than PCA on some data sets like MNIST.
You can download the Matlab Toolbox for Dimensionality Reduction; or download the t-SNE method for different platforms: t-SNE codes.
Moreover, check the following papers if you want to learn more details about dimensionality reduction.
- L.J.P. van der Maaten and G.E. Hinton. Visualizing High-Dimensional Data Using t-SNE. Journal of Machine Learning Research 9(Nov):2579-2605, 2008. PDF [Supplemental material] [Talk]

Andrew Ng just releases a free draft copy of his new book: Machine Learning Yearning – Technique Strategy for AI Engineers, In the Era of Deep Learning
AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning are transforming numerous industries. But building a machine learning system requires that you make practical decisions:
- Should you collect more training data?
-
Should you use end-to-end deep learning?
-
How do you deal with your training set not matching your test set?
-
and many more.
Historically, the only way to learn how to make these “strategy” decisions has been a multi-year apprenticeship in a graduate program or company. I am writing a book to help you quickly gain this skill so that you can become better at building AI systems.
The book will be around 100 pages and contain many easy-to-read 1-2 page chapters. If you would like to receive a draft of each chapter as it is finished, please sign up for the mailing list.
