Progress on Lifelong Learning Machines Shows Potential for Bio-Inspired Algorithms
Today’s machine learning systems are restricted by their inability to continuously learn or adapt as they encounter new situations; their programs are fixed after training, leaving them unable to react to new, unforeseen circumstances once they are fielded. Adding new information to cover programming deficits overwrites the existing training set. With current technology, this requires taking the system offline and retraining it on a dataset that incorporates the new information. It is a long and arduous process that DARPA’s Lifelong Learning Machines (L2M) program is working to overcome.
“The L2M program’s prime objective is to develop systems that can learn continuously during execution and become increasingly expert while performing tasks, are subject to safety limits, and capable of applying previous skills and knowledge to new situations, without forgetting previous learning,” said Dr. Hava Siegelmann, program manager in DARPA’s Information Innovation Office (I2O). “Though complex, it is an area where we are making significant progress.”
First announced in 2017, L2M is over a year into research and development of next generation AI systems and their components, as well as learning mechanisms in biological organisms capable of translation into computational processes. L2M supports a large base of 30 performer groups via grants and contracts of different duration and size.

New Facebook A.I. tool strikes at 'revenge' image posts
March 15 (UPI) – Social networking company Facebook said Friday it's rolling out a new artificial intelligence tool that can detect and remove images and videos posted online without a certain users' consent.
The company said the tool is intended to prevent "revenge" postings that target specific persons, like an ex-girlfriend or spouse. The tool replaces the manual method previously available, in which users had to physically report instances to Facebook.
The system detects "near nude" content that's passed on to a human moderator for review. One motivation behind the tool is so-called "revenge porn," in which someone publicly posts sexual images of an ex.
"Finding these images goes beyond detecting nudity on our platforms," Facebook Global Head of Safety Antigone Davis said in a statement. "We can now proactively detect near nude images or videos that are shared without permission on Facebook and Instagram.

Southern Poverty Law Center fires co-founder amid misconduct concerns
March 15 (UPI) – One of the co-founders of the Southern Poverty Law Center – a longtime nonprofit civil advocacy group – has been removed from the organization for misconduct.
The Alabama- based group announced Morris Dees' departure in a statement from President Richard Cohen Thursday.
"We're committed to ensuring that our workplace embodies the values we espouse – truth, justice, equity, and inclusion. When one of our own fails to meet those standards, no matter his or her role in the organization, we take it seriously and must take appropriate action."
Cohen acknowledged misconduct but didn't elaborate on how it relates to Dees.

France freezes assets of Masood Azhar
Jaish-e-Mohammad founder to be put on a EU terror list
PARIS: France has decided to freeze the assets of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) founder and leader Masood Azhar, the French government said on Friday.
A joint statement issued by the French interior ministry, finance ministry and foreign ministry added that France would discuss putting Masood Azhar on a European Union list of people suspected of being involved in terrorism.
Pakistan is under pressure from global powers to act against groups carrying out attacks in India, including Jaish-e-Mohammad, which claimed responsibility for a Feb. 14 attack in Kashmir that killed at least 49 Indian paramilitary police.

The Devil’s Shell Game Transforming the USA Into ‘Amerika'
There is a meme floating around the net showing a picture of Morgan Freeman making a statement to this effect: “If our government wants to regain the faith of its people, they should start by throwing Hillary Clinton into prison.” Even if he didn’t say it, that is, nonetheless, the solid truth put into layman’s terminology. But it is way too late. And we all know that it’s not going to happen—at least, not like it should.
For the entire eight years that conservatives endured Obama’s crooked headship, the Internet was rife with teasers clawing for our attention … “OBAMA IS GOING DOWN!!”, “THIS TIME HE’S GONE TOO FAR!!”, “HERE IS THE SMOKING GUN WE’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!!” And so on, and so on , blah, blah, blah … Those and literally millions of others. It was all just more of the same cheap shuck that keeps the naive and hopeful coming back for more. Now it mostly fluctuates among Obama, Clinton and Comey. And there are a host of others helping to distract us from the things we should absolutely be keeping our eyes glued on.
