AI Jobs Grow Beyond Established Hubs: AI careers spread across the U.S., outgrowing traditional tech hubs.

An analysis of United States job listings shows AI jobs are growing rapidly outside traditional tech hubs. Researchers at University of Maryland analyzed the distribution of AI jobs among U.S. job postings. California hosts the largest concentration...

Image Generators Copy Training Data: Spotting similarities between generated images and data

We know that image generators create wonderful original works, but do they sometimes replicate their training data? Recent work found that replication does occur.

More Thinking Solves Harder Problems: AI Can Learn From Simple Tasks to Solve Hard Problems

In machine learning, an easy task and a more difficult version of the same task — say, a maze that covers a smaller or larger area — often are learned separately.

Adversarial Helper: Adversarial learning can improve vision and NLP.

Models that learn relationships between images and words are gaining a higher profile. New research shows that adversarial learning, usually a way to make models robust to deliberately misleading inputs, can boost vision-and-language performance.

Making GANs More Inclusive: A technique to help GANs represent their datasets fairly

A typical GAN’s output doesn’t necessarily reflect the data distribution of its training set. Instead, GANs are prone to modeling the majority of the training distribution, sometimes ignoring rare attributes — say, faces that represent minority populations.
