Understanding human cells by AI, NVIDIA breaks the records, POKéMON, and the most advanced Humanoid Robot

Last week, I had 2 technical Googlers in my podcast separately talking about their journey, some tips, and tricks for career success.

Nevin Yilmaz is a Data Scientist at Google. She has an interesting journey, studied global and international affairs at university but later found her interest in science and math. She shares about her pathway to success and some insights about standing out as a data scientist from the crowd. Check the full interview here.

Marily Nika is an AR/VR Experience Product Lead at Google. She had to overcome many obstacles to start her career in tech. She talked about her story from starting Ph.D. studies in computer science to teaching at Harvard Business School and advocating for more women in tech. To know more about the role of a product manager and building a successful AI product, check the full conversation here.

• [Nature] AI-Based MuSIC Reveals Previously Unknown Cell Components : researchers have combined microscopy, biochemistry, and artificial intelligence techniques to advance the understanding of the cell by revealing previously unknown cell components. In doing so, they have taken what they think may turn out to be a significant leap forward in the understanding of human cells.
• [LinkedIn Post] NVIDIA set records across all eight popular workloads in the MLPerf training for the fastest to train at scale.
• [NewScientist] Humans and AI working together can reveal new areas of mathematics : AI software has collaborated with mathematicians to successfully develop a theorem about the structure of knots, but the suggestions given by the code were so unintuitive that they were initially dismissed. Only later were they discovered to offer invaluable insight.
• [VB] Meta launches PyTorch Live to build AI-powered mobile experiences : It is a set of tools designed to make AI-powered experiences for mobile devices easier. PyTorch Live offers a single programming language — JavaScript — to build apps for Android and iOS, as well as a process for preparing custom machine learning models.
• [Verge] AI that can play competitive POKéMON: AI can beat a chess grandmaster. An AI can become the StarCraft esports champion. But creating an AI that could play Pokémon at the competitive level has been a more elusive problem.
• [TC] EU lawmakers agree data reuse rules to foster AI and R&D and Europe’s AI Act falls far short on protecting fundamental rights, civil society groups warn

• [MIT] Artificial general intelligence: Are we close, and does it even make sense to try? A machine that could think like a person has been the guiding vision of AI research since the earliest days—and remains its most divisive idea.
• [Google AI] A decade in deep learning, and what's next : Jeff Dean and Marian Croak of Google Research take a look at how we’ve innovated on these techniques and applied them in helpful ways, and look ahead to a responsible and inclusive path forward.
• [Synced] Microsoft’s ‘Florence’ General-Purpose Foundation Model Achieves SOTA Results on Dozens of CV Benchmarks: Task-specific models dominate today’s AI landscape, but a truly intelligent AI would be able to solve diverse real-world problems with minimal human involvement by learning joint, fundamental representations that support a broad range of downstream tasks.
• [ArXiv] Altering Emotions in Video Footage With AI: (Code )It takes a received sequence of expression parameters and translates them to a target domain. It’s trained on unparallel data, which means that it is not necessary to train on datasets where each identity has corresponding facial expressions.
• [FB AI] NeuralProphet: The neural evolution of Meta’s Prophet: The framework provides automatic hyperparameter selection, making it a convenient and accessible tool for beginners. Advanced forecasting practitioners can incorporate domain knowledge and leverage deeper expertise with a superset of custom modules, model weight sparsification, and global modeling capabilities.
• [YT]First look at the most advanced humanoid robot from Engineered Arts Designed as a platform for AI and human-robot interaction (HRI):
