Generative Image Modeling Using Spatial LSTMs
Modeling the distribution of natural images is challenging, partly because of
strong statistical dependencies which can extend over hundreds of pixels.
Recurrent neural networks have been successful in capturing long-range
dependencies in a number of problems but only recently have found their way
into generative image models. We here introduce a recurrent image model based
on multi-dimensional long short-term memory units which are particularly suited
for image modeling due to their spatial structure. Our model scales to images
of arbitrary size and its likelihood is computationally tractable. We find that
it outperforms the state of the art in quantitative comparisons on several
image datasets and produces promising results when used for texture synthesis
and inpainting
Arguing Machines: Human Supervision of Black Box AI Systems That Make Life-Critical Decisions
We consider the paradigm of a black box AI system that makes life-critical
decisions. We propose an "arguing machines" framework that pairs the primary AI
system with a secondary one that is independently trained to perform the same
task. We show that disagreement between the two systems, without any knowledge
of underlying system design or operation, is sufficient to arbitrarily improve
the accuracy of the overall decision pipeline given human supervision over
disagreements. We demonstrate this system in two applications: (1) an
illustrative example of image classification and (2) on large-scale real-world
semi-autonomous driving data. For the first application, we apply this
framework to image classification achieving a reduction from 8.0% to 2.8% top-5
error on ImageNet. For the second application, we apply this framework to Tesla
Autopilot and demonstrate the ability to predict 90.4% of system disengagements
that were labeled by human annotators as challenging and needing human
supervision
