LeoLabs zeroes in on anomalies in satellite operations

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT
COLORADO SPRINGS – LeoLabs, the Silicon Valley startup mapping activity in low-Earth orbit, is relying on artificial intelligence to spot anomalous satellite operations. A LeoLabs visualization tool shown at the 39th Space Symposium tracks maneuvers performed by satellites that change their orbits frequently. And it highlights maneuvers conducted by satellites that did not typically perform them. Three of the first satellites in a Chinese communications constellation that could include 12,000 satellites, for example, remained in stable orbits for months after they were launched in late 2023. “Then at the same time, all three executed an organized maneuver campaign,” Owen Marshall,…

Three New Powerful Open AI Models. I’m told by colleagues at Hugging Face that just a week since LLama-3 was released, more than +10,000 model derivatives have been developed! The pressure on black-box, closed AI models is huge, and achieving GPT-4 performance with open, smallish models is upon us. Which is great. In the last few days, three new, smallish, powerful open AI models were released. Interestingly enough, the power of these 3 models is based on a combination of: 1) Innovative training architectures and optimisation techniques, and 2) Data quality for different types of data (synthetic, public or private).…

Thoughts on Academia and Industry in Machine Learning Research • David Stutz

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
Introduction By construction, a PhD has a clear end. Depending on the program, country and field, a PhD is supposed to be done within 3-6 years when it is usually awarded after an official defense of the research work. This is in contrast to most other careers and jobs, especially in industry but also in the public sector. Even though a PhD is often considered as a qualification for independent research and thereby acts as the entry to an academic career, it is commonly assumed that most PhD graduates do not continue in academia. This also matches my impression and…

How Science Fiction Shapes Tomorrow’s Tech

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
The below is a summary of the first episode of my Synthetic Minds podcast. Think science fiction is just for entertainment? Think again. It's time for businesses to read today's sci-fi to shape tomorrow's reality. In the debut episode of the Synthetic Minds podcast, Dr. Mark van Rijmenam chats with Karl Schroeder, a science fiction author and strategic foresight consultant. They delve into how sci-fi narratives, like Schroeder's “Stealing Worlds” and “Lady of Mazes,” provide valuable insights for navigating future technological landscapes. These stories blend AI, blockchain, and mixed reality to imagine radical shifts in governance and personal freedoms, offering…

Don’t Mock Machine Learning Models In Unit Tests

stp2y0 CommentsNews
I’ve been applying typical unit testing practices to machine learning code and it hasn’t been straightforward. In software, units are small, isolated pieces of logic that we can test independently and quickly. In machine learning, models are blobs of logic learned from data, and machine learning code is the logic to learn and use these derived blobs of logic. This difference makes it necessary to rethink how we unit test machine learning code. How ML code differs from regular software In software, we write code that contains logic; in ML, we write code that learns logic and then uses that…
