Also there are two talks announced which demonstrate different but notably completely automated, AI-driven antivirus and IDS bypass techniques for Android and Windows, respectively. We're going into totally movieplot territory here :)
This is one solid advice, if hard to follow at times.

Building a 50 Teraflops AMD Vega Deep Learning Box for Under $3K
In 2002, the fastest supercomputer in the world (i.e. “NEC Earth Simulator) was capable of 35.86 teraflops.
hmm, need to refresh my postquantum crypto curriculum...

Inside Fluids: Clebsch Maps for Visualization and Processing (SIGGRAPH 2017)
Project page: http://page.math.tu-berlin.de/~chern/projects/Clebsch/
Clebsch maps encode velocity fields through functions. These functions contain valuable information about the velocity field. For example, closed integral curves of the associated vorticity…

Schrödinger's Smoke (SIGGRAPH 2016)
We describe a new approach for the purely Eulerian simulation of incompressible fluids. In it, the fluid state is represented by a ℂ²-valued wave function evolving under the Schrödinger equation subject to incompressibility constraints. The underlying dynamical…

hmm, this one is unexpected, but given a second thought... mixing uncorrelated features just slightly biases them into normal distribution, keeping other properties intact, hence no wonder it works

Even given that I firmly believe in the human brains' adaptability and cognitive capacities, I must admit I didn't expect it is possible for a regular person to see the world just as the bats do, via echolocation, with normal human ears.
Mind-blowing.

Daniel Kish has been blind since he was 13 months old, but has learned to "see" using a form of echolocation. He clicks his tongue and sends out flashes of sound that bounce off surfaces in the environment and return to him, helping him to construct an understanding…
