How deep learning works

@stopsatgreen Now A.I. is coming for your job.

Is your job at risk? Abstractions People Pictures Words Numbers
Routine Variety You’re alright Get nervous Bye Bye

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen One in five of us could see  our roles
automated.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen –Travis Gertz The work we produce is repeatable and
predictable. It panders to a common denominator. We build buckets and templates to hold every kind of content, then move on to the next component of the system. Digital design is a human assembly line.

@stopsatgreen – Wired [muScalpel] successfully transplanted a video coding format
from one media player to another.  It took the automated system 26 hours to complete the transplant, while VLC's manual addition of the code happened over a period of 20 days.

@stopsatgreen – MIT news Helium is a system that revamps
and fine- tunes code without ever needing the original source, in a matter of hours or even minutes.

@stopsatgreen A.I. can’t do our jobs, but it can do
bits of our jobs.

@stopsatgreen – Travis Gertz While we’ve been streamlining our processes
and perfecting our machine-like assembly techniques, others have been watching closely and assembling their own machines. We’ve designed ourselves right into an environment ripe for automation.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen Creativity is a tool  that we can use.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen – Andrew Ng We need to enable a lot
of people to do non-routine, non-repetitive tasks.  Teaching innovation and creativity could be one way to get there.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen AI is a tool we can use to provide
better services to  our customers.

@stopsatgreen – Cennydd Bowles A.I. is becoming a cornerstone of
user experience. This is going to be interesting (read: difficult) for designers.

@stopsatgreen Artificial Intelligence is becoming very good, very quickly. Artificial
Intelligence is becoming very available, very quickly.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen Deep learning systems get better with training.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen Quite soon your users’ expectations will be raised.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen The ‘killer app’ of A.I. is  natural language processing.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen A.I. excels at conversation.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen –Kyle Dent A conversation is a sequence of turns
where each utterance follows from what’s already been said and is relevant to the overall interaction. Dialog systems must maintain a context over several turns.

@stopsatgreen Machine: hi, this is <name> from helpdesk connect, what
can i help you with today? Human: hi, i forgot my password. can you tell me how i can recover it? Machine: i’ll need to verify who it is at that machine. can we do a hangout? Human: yes Machine: <a hangout ensues> Human: cool, i am good now

@stopsatgreen Virtual assistants are everybody’s new jam.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen Conversation doesn’t need to be vocal, but it helps.

@stopsatgreen Making computers talk is easy.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen Making computers listen  is easy… now.

@stopsatgreen Since 2012 Google’s voice recognition error rate has dropped
from 26% to 8%.

@stopsatgreen 10% of Baidu search queries are by voice. That’s
approx. 500m per day.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen !

@stopsatgreen Making computers understand is hard. But possible.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen Show me hotels in san francisco for tomorrow that
are less than $300 but not less than $200, are pet friendly, have a gym and a pool, with 3 or 4 stars, staying for 2 nights, and don't include anything that doesn't have air conditioning.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen NLP enables a shift  from GUI to CUI.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen Conversational UI is an idea whose time has come.

@stopsatgreen Old problems still apply to  new interaction models.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen Bollocks.

@stopsatgreen The ready availability of deep learning happened so quickly
that we barely realised.

@stopsatgreen A.I. is improving rapidly. A.I. will take some jobs.
A.I. can’t create like people. A.I. can improve your work.
