Human-level concept learning through probabilistic program induction - Semantic Scholar
People learning new concepts can often generalize successfully from just a single example, yet machine learning algorithms typically require tens or hundreds of examples to perform with similar accuracy. People can also use learned concepts in richer ways…

Keys for Pektron keyless entry systems (used in Tesla, McLaren and other high-end cars) are copyable within minutes. Tesla at least acknowledges the issue, unlike other vendors 🤦🏼♂️ (via @atemerev)

> CycleGAN learns to “hide” information about a source image into the images it generates in a nearly imperceptible, high frequency signal. This trick ensures that the generator can recover the original sample and thus satisfy the cyclic consistency requirement, while the generated image remains realistic
