Meet our AI-powered robot that’s ready to play table tennis. 🤖🏓

It’s the first agent to achieve amateur human level performance in this sport. Here’s how it works. 🧵

[Laura Graesser @lgraesser3]

🏓So excited to share i-S2R in which we train robots to play table tennis cooperatively with humans for up to 340 hit rallies. That’s 4+ mins of play without dropping the ball. The robot makes the human work hard to keep up! 🏓

I'm sitting in my @Tesla Model 3 watching @fastdotai Deep Learning 2019 Lesson 4 by @jeremyphoward while waiting on someone. Best use I've found for YouTube in my car.

At best, social networks are terrible at spreading accurate information; at worst, they're vulnerable to malicious attacks intended to manipulate our perceptions of reality. We need to really think hard about how to fix information spreading.

We just published a new tutorial for Image Segmentation, using a U-Net style architecture (and a pretrained MobileNet). Runs pretty quick, too.

Nice work, @arjun_dcunha!

Computer Scientist Alan Turing will appear on UK currency. This is wonderful! Perhaps this acknowledgement of his accomplishments will encourage more people to enter CS and AI? https://t.co/ogV5ab5fmN

After almost 10 years of being a terror free nation, Sri Lanka's heart has been broken today with the worst coordinated terrorist attack killing 150+ people.

We don't know who's behind it yet - but we will and we'll get you.

Good source to track:

TPUs in Google Colaboratory, now with less boilerplate code. See the Keras TPU sample here: https://t.co/RIpkluc09d
google.colab.auth.authenticate_user() to propagate your credentials to the backend and the TPU. TPUClusterResolver() to find your TPU. That's it!
