[N] DEFON u/highwiz censors discussion on Machine Learning Deepfakes Accessibility

Recently, villages from this year’s DEFCON (27) have put together a Reddit AMA. I was volunteering to answer community questions related to the Monero village at this year’s DEFCON. During discussion, I engaged u/aivillage in an inquiry on the progress and accessibility of deepfakes machine learning technology.

We had a brief discussion before both of my comments were deleted with no warning, notification, or explanation. I suspect the moderator in question was u/highwiz as he also engaged me in discussion elsewhere in the thread.

[Project] Expanding the benefits of Machines

Machines is one of the hardest fields to study, from its capabilities up to its full potentials. In today’s generation, we all know the risks of relying to those untrusted machines but according to what I’ve read about this project, TRIAS, there are some significant we can rely on like:

>> Computers and the Internet significantly boost the efficiency of our work. However, untrusted applications can lead to data leaking or tampering.

>> Mobile phones meet our basic daily communication and entertainment needs…You can read more here: https://www.trias.one/whitepaper

Trusthworthy and reliable systems are what we need now. There are so many resources out there but all we need is an eclectic source that will help us to understand and feel the presence of intelligent machine like TRIAS

[P] Monte Carlo Tree Search library in Python

Hi everyone,

While I was building an AlphaZero clone I had the opportunity to make a Python library for the Monte Carlo Tree Search algorithm that works both with an AI expert policy or without one. The existing Python libraries that I found were either too poorly functioning/documented or didn’t have a clear mechanism for deriving the probabilistic exploratory weighting to assign to a child node prior to determining its predicted win value.

Please let me know if there are any issues or if I can help clarify anything. I hope someone might find this useful!

[Discussion] Cannot make CycleGAN work on a simple toy MNIST example

[Discussion] Cannot make CycleGAN work on a simple toy MNIST example

Hi. I tried implementing CycleGAN from scratch. And I tested my implementation on a toy example where the first domain consists of normal MNIST images and the other domain consists of flipped MNIST images. I think the task sounds simple enough. However, while the learned translations are able to generate sharp (normal/flipped) MNIST images, the mappings are not correct at all (e.g., 7s are mapped to 1s or 6s ). Please refer to the figures below. Did anyone encounter the sample problem when using CycleGAN? I think overall my architecture is correct (having adversarial loss and cycle loss). There may be few differences in the generators and discriminators but I don’t think it would make that much difference.

During the first few iterations, generated images are not clear. But it is fair enough

After many iterations, the generated flipped images look sharp. But the mappings are not correct at all.

[Project] How to use TTS every day and enjoy it

Hi there! Me and my friends are working on the iOS app that voices any article from any source with the help of machine learning. The app is free and doesn’t contain ads at all. So if this sounds interesting for you, please find more information here: What is Peech app and how to use itThe link to download: Peech. Would be really helpful to hear any thoughts, ideas or feedback from ya.

Ensemble model not converging while single model converges [DISCUSSION]

I am using two Imagenet models and multiplying their outputs to create an ensemble model consisting of those two models.

My first attempt is using the same model, but with different images sizes as inputs.

However this ensemble model doesn’t seem to be converging. It gets stuck at 78% accuracy, no matter how many layers I unfreeze. While a single model is converging and over-fitting.

Is there something wrong with my model setup or something you suggest I try?

def full_model_5(model_keys): """prediction x, y, multiply them , activation softmax""" model_key, model_key2 = model_keys base_model, preprocess = basemodel(model_key) base_model2, preprocess2 = basemodel(model_key2) for layer in base_model.layers: # all base_layers are not trainable layer.name = layer.name + "dup" layer.trainable = False for layer in base_model2.layers: # all base_layers are not trainable layer.trainable = False # first model x = base_model.output x = GlobalAveragePooling2D()(x) x = Dense(2048, activation='relu')(x) x = BatchNormalization()(x) x = Dense(512, activation='relu')(x) x = BatchNormalization()(x) predictions_x = Dense(classes, activation='relu')(x) # second model y = base_model2.output y = GlobalAveragePooling2D()(y) y = Dense(2048, activation='relu')(y) y = BatchNormalization()(y) y = Dense(512, activation='relu')(y) y = BatchNormalization()(y) predictions_y = Dense(classes, activation='relu')(y) # combine the models together predictions = Multiply()([predictions_x, predictions_y]) predictions = Activation("softmax")(predictions) ##predictions = Maximum()([predictions_x, predictions_y]) model = Model(inputs= [base_model.input,base_model2.input], outputs=predictions) return model,( preprocess,preprocess2)
