Sharing this article from Cointelegraph, where Lucas Matheson, MBA, CFA, Coinbase's Country Director for Canada highlighted a crucial gap in political engagement with the crypto industry. “[There are] other geographies around the world where typically political leaders establish long-term strategic plans to incorporate digital assets and technology into their economies. We’re keen to work more closely with our federal politicians and members of parliament to ensure that we have a strong regulatory framework here in Canada.” As advocates for responsible public policy and regulation in Web3, the Canadian Web3 Council is committed to bridging this gap and unlocking the development and growth of Web3 in Canada. 🔗 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/epa7ghYG

To PM Trudeau's comment of “there’s not much we’re going to be able to do” to prevent existential risk from AI, trust is the way forward. Companies will not want to share training data, and so audit is how to build trust. Just like we did in finance and accounting.

I'm excited that this week at the CAIAC - Canadian Artificial Intelligence Association conference George Wang will be presenting a paper Adaptive Learning Rates for Gradient Boosting Trees, based on work he did as an intern at Kinaxis last fall, in collaboration with Christopher Wang, Yunfei O., Behrouz Soleimani, PhD. There are 3 reasons this is both impressive and cool: 1. They combine heuristics, machine learning, and optimization to speed up the training for an important algorithm, Gradient Boosted Machines, widely used in both academia and industry. Faster training improves model performance. 2. This paper is just one of the many sparks of innovation in #artificialintelligence coming out of Kinaxis, where > 50% of our patents filed in the last several years have been in this space, because we continue to push the boundaries by inventing new solutions like this one to solve problems our customers face. We've been delivering AI to the market since 2018 and were the first to provide solutions powered by AI to address both demand and supply. We are rooted in Canada, which brought the world out of the last AI winter in 2012 when a team from the University of Toronto won the famous Imagenet competition by blowing the lid off previous results. Their submission was layers of neural networks called deep learning, which later became the foundation for the #generativeAI revolution we are seeing today. 3. We have an outstanding intern program in #machinelearning at Kinaxis, where interns work on real problems, guided by senior staff. As a testament to letting the students shine, when their paper was accepted they decided to have George present it. So check out the paper if you're at the conference, but if you miss the event you can't miss the fact that we are actively speaking and sparking on AI. In fact, just last week Chantal Bisson-Krol spoke in Edmonton at the #upperbound conference on AI-Powered Strategies for Resilient Supply Chains and I spoke at the Reuters Supply Chain USA event on Embedding AI in supply chain to deliver end-to-end value.

“Feature engineering is dead, long live feature engineering!” Feature engineering, the foundation of good ol’ machine learning, was pretty much declared dead with the advent of Deep Learning. We didn’t need to work on defining features that the models themselves could implicitly learn, or did we? This new work by Anthropic shows how interpretable features can be learned from activation patterns in frontier LLMs. https://lnkd.in/gVi8h2Yn Even more surprisingly, these features can not only be identified and interpreted, but also modified 😮. In an example, the researchers amplify the “ Golden Gate” feature so much that the model claims to be an incarnation of the bridge itself 🤯

Very interesting to see examples of how LLMs seem to encode specific features and react to subtle changes in those features. Also interesting how much this reads like a paper reverse engineering a biological process.
