Andy and Dave discuss research from DeepMind, University College London, and Oxford, that shows that human mental replay spontaneously reorganizes experience, implied by abstract knowledge, and which further suggests AI could use this approach to learn and improve. In other research, adversarial triggers cause natural language processing algorithms (such as GPT-2) to generate incorrect sentiment analysis, or to generate racist output (even in non-racial contexts). And researchers from Dalian, Peng Cheng, and City University of Hong Kong create a segmentation method for visual classifiers to identify and processes mirrors and reflective surfaces, which may otherwise cause confusing results.
