Joint embedding prediction architecture (JEPA) founder
JEPA is an energy-based model of AI that learns high-level representations using JEPA. This approach replaces contrastive, using regularized techniques that extract high quality latent features and eliminate unnecessary information. JEPA can thus learn to draw inferences from a high-dimensional global model.
This approach allows for alignment of multiple datasets without losing individual specificity. You can extend it to multiple datasets. This workflow is illustrated in Fig. 1A.
Influence of Geoffrey Hinton on his work
Yann LéCun is a computer scientist who also serves as the Vice President of Facebook's AI research organization. He also teaches at New York University. His work focuses on deep learning and convolutional neural networks. He graduated from Pierre and Marie Curie University and was a postdoctoral fellow under Geoffrey Hinton. LeCun discusses the foundational work he did on convolutional neural network and his advice to those interested in AI.
LeCun had a tremendous impact from Hinton. He mentored more than thirty PhD students and many postdocs, master's, and undergraduate students, and many of them went on to become leaders in the field. Brendan Frey who was Hinton’s protege, completed his PhD at the University of Texas in 1997. He went on to become a leading advocate for deep-learning.
FAQ
Which industries use AI more?
The automotive sector is among the first to adopt AI. For example, BMW AG uses AI to diagnose car problems, Ford Motor Company uses AI to develop self-driving cars, and General Motors uses AI to power its autonomous vehicle fleet.
Other AI industries include banking, insurance, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, telecommunications, transportation, and utilities.
What will the government do about AI regulation?
AI regulation is something that governments already do, but they need to be better. They must ensure that individuals have control over how their data is used. They must also ensure that AI is not used for unethical purposes by companies.
They should also make sure we aren't creating an unfair playing ground between different types businesses. If you are a small business owner and want to use AI to run your business, you should be allowed to do so without being restricted by big companies.
Why is AI so important?
It is estimated that within 30 years, we will have trillions of devices connected to the internet. These devices will include everything from cars to fridges. The Internet of Things (IoT) is the combination of billions of devices with the internet. IoT devices and the internet will communicate with one another, sharing information. They will also be able to make decisions on their own. A fridge may decide to order more milk depending on past consumption patterns.
It is predicted that by 2025 there will be 50 billion IoT devices. This is a great opportunity for companies. But it raises many questions about privacy and security.
What does AI do?
An algorithm is a sequence of instructions that instructs a computer to solve a problem. An algorithm is a set of steps. Each step has a condition that determines when it should execute. A computer executes each instructions sequentially until all conditions can be met. This is repeated until the final result can be achieved.
Let's say, for instance, you want to find 5. One way to do this is to write down all numbers between 1 and 10 and calculate the square root of each number, then average them. It's not practical. Instead, write the following formula.
sqrt(x) x^0.5
This means that you need to square your input, divide it with 2, and multiply it by 0.5.
A computer follows this same principle. The computer takes your input and squares it. Next, it multiplies it by 2, multiplies it by 0.5, adds 1, subtracts 1 and finally outputs the answer.
AI: Why do we use it?
Artificial intelligence (computer science) is the study of artificial behavior. It can be used in practical applications such a robotics, natural languages processing, game-playing, and other areas of computer science.
AI is also referred to as machine learning, which is the study of how machines learn without explicitly programmed rules.
AI is often used for the following reasons:
-
To make your life easier.
-
To do things better than we could ever do ourselves.
Self-driving cars is a good example. AI can do the driving for you. We no longer need to hire someone to drive us around.
