Because I recommend you look at it in its original size on an article explaining why Machine Vision systems cannot recognize optical illusions , which means they also can’t create new ones. Read (and look) More! A Script to Keep Track of State-Of-The-Art AI research! Let’s start with a great tool developed by Chip Huyen : for lack of better search options, she wrote a script to query arxiv for abstracts that contain a specific keyword and return summaries of those abstracts. The script is simple (283 lines of code) and you can find it on Github . Read More on Chip’s Great Blog...

Do you think you know everything about Amazon? Well, Think Again! AdversarialExamplesFool bothCVandTime-LimitedHuman: Google AI has published a great paper that transfers adversarial examples from computer vision models with known parameters and architecture to other models with unknown parameters and architecture, finding on the way that those adversarial examples fool humans as well . Needless to say, Google Brain ’s Ian Goodfellow is one of the authors. Read More... Detecting Phishing With Computer Vision - Blazar: Endgame Research has developed a new computer- vision based phishing detection tool called Blazar . Phishing attacks are very common confidence scams, mainly designed for financial gain but also for espionage . Apparently Blazar detects malicious URLs that masquerade as legitimate ones.
