Editorial Note: Ajit Jaokar's contribution this week hits home a point that I think it very important. As with any job, it is the value that you bring as a problem solver and someone capable of looking at obstacles as challenges rather than the base skills that you have in a given discipline, that will ultimately determine whether…

In the last post, we discussed an outline of AI powered cyber attacks and their defence strategies. In this post, we will discuss a specific type of attack which is called adversarial attack.

Adversarial attacks are not…

Cyberattacks are on the rise. AI is part of the threat but also part of the solution. Especially, some of the newer AI strategies (such as adversarial attacks) could be a significant new attack vector.

For example, using deepfakes, you could create highly realistic videos, audio or photos and overcome biometric security systems or infiltrate…

Here is a great too for your AI research

I feel like a kid in a candy shop! 

If you are like me, and want to stay on top of AI, you spend a lot of time working through research papers

However, there is no tool which can show you great new research in AI in near real time

So, it was great to find this free and open source…

Here is a paper which gives a set of coding puzzles which could be useful for technical interviews in data science.

The paper introduces a new type of programming challenge called programming puzzles, as an objective and comprehensive evaluation of program synthesis, and release an open-source dataset of Python Programming Puzzles…

Introduction

Andrew Ng is a key reference point for me in understanding AI.

Andrew Ng is always easy to understand – especially…

I read a paper from ETSI last week which talks of protecting Artificial Intelligence models against threats and attacks.

This topic is of interest to me since we cover it in the artificial intelligence for cybersecurity course at the University of Oxford. Protecting AI models from threats is getting increasingly more important but is not yet…

MIT press provides another excellent book in creative commons.

Algorithms for decision making: free download book

I plan to buy it and I recommend you do. This book provides a broad introduction to algorithms for…

Digital Twins are increasing in usage but are often used in multiple contexts and in a simplified manner. Most references to the Digital Twin actually refer to a Digital shadow i.e. maintaining a digital copy of a physical object that is updated periodically. In a more complete sense, the Digital Twin concept relates to simulation and interaction of…

How can we increase the diversity in AI talent?

This is a subject close to my heart

Despite being quite well known in AI (for our pioneering work and teaching at the #universityofoxford for #AI and #edge) and also being the Chief AI Officer of a venture funded company in Germany, I would not pass many of…

Are you a leader or a laggard or an aspirant in AI?

This is a subject close to my heart because I focus my teaching / research and consulting towards the leader end or AI – where the competitive advantages create exponential gains for companies and people

There is a great article from Mc Kinsey called…

Last week, I taught a cybersecurity course at the University of Oxford case. I created a case study for my class based on an excellent recent paper: Deep Learning-Based Autonomous Driving Systems: A Survey of Attacks and Defences (link below)    

This paper is unique because it discussed emerging cyber security…

In the last post, I discussed about augmented reality applications and their implications for AI

In this post, I will discuss virtual realty applications

I am very interested in combining AR/ VR with the Digital twin based on my work at the #universityofoxford

Both these ideas (AR+VR and also the Digital Twin) add a…

Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information. AR can be defined as a system that fulfills three basic features: a combination of real and virtual worlds, real-time interaction, and accurate 3D…

Last week, I saw a nice presentation on Probabilistic Programming from a student in Iran (link below).  

I am interested in this subject for my teaching at the #universityofoxford. In this post, I provide a brief introduction to Probabilistic programming. Probabilistic programming is a programming paradigm designed to implement and solve…

At my AI course in the University of Oxford, we are exploring the use of PyTorch for the first time.

One of the best libraries to get started with PyTorch is fast.ai.

There are various ways to learn fast.ai.

For most people, the fast.ai course is their first exposure.

There is now a book…

The Cloudification of the Telecoms market

Last week, Nokia announced 10,000 jobs lost worldwide. Telecoms is a cyclical business with the G cycles (roughly spanning seven years) ex 3G, 4G etc – driving the ups and downs in employment. However, there is more at stake here because the Telecoms industry is fundamentally changing.

Nokia…

This post continues our discussion on the Bayesian vs the frequentist approaches. Here, we consider implications for parametric and non-parametric models

In the previous blog the Bayesian vs frequentist…

The biggest surprise for me in the "Measuring trends in Artificial…
