A coral garden has been found off the coast of Greenland (Credits: ZSL / GINR / SWNS)

Think of beautiful coral gardens and youll likely bring to mind the Great Barrier Reef or the azure waters surrounding the Maldives.

But scientists have come across a new collection of corals 5,000 feet under the eaves off the coast of Greenland.

Even more remarkably, the surprise find was made using a homemade low-cost deep sea video camera.

Researchers say the discovery, the first of its kind, could have important consequences for the countrys fishing industry, which accounts for more than 80 per cent of its exports.

Study first author doctoral student Stephen Long, of University College London (UCL), said: The deep sea is often overlooked in terms of exploration.

In fact we have better maps of the surface of Mars, than we do of the deep sea.

The deep sea is the biggest natural habitat on earth, covering nearly 65 per cent of the planet. But very little was known about Greenlands deep seas until recently, because studying it is both difficult and expensive.

The main challenge is the ocean pressure, which increases by one atmosphere every ten metres of descent.

Previous expeditions have had to rely on expensive remote vehicles and manned submarines, like those used in the famous documentary series The Blue Planet.

To overcome this challenge, the research team designed its very own low-cost towed video sled using a GoPro video camera and pressurised lights and lasers, all mounted on a robust steel frame.

Mr Long said: The development of a low-cost tool that can withstand deep-sea environments opens up new possibilities for our understanding and management of marine ecosystems.

Well be working with the Greenland government and fishing industry to ensure this fragile, complex and beautiful habitat is protected.

The team placed the Mini Cooper sized video sled on the seafloor for roughly 15 minutes at a time across 18 different locations. The DIY video camera was able to capture over 1,200 pictures, from which the team identified nearly 40,000 corals.

Mr Long said: A towed video sled is not unique, however our research is certainly the first example of a low-cost DIY video sled being used to explore deep-sea habitats in Greenlands 2.2 million kilometres squared of sea.

So far, the team has managed to reach an impressive depth of 1,500 metres. It has worked remarkably well and led to interest from researchers in other parts of the world.

The soft coral garden, which lives in near total darkness, was discovered 500 metres below sea level and is home to feather stars, sponges, anemones, brittle stars, hydrozoans, bryozoans and other organisms.

Study last author Dr Chris Yesson, of the Zoological Society London, said: Coral gardens are characterised by collections of one or more species typically of non-reef forming coral, that sit on a wide range of hard and soft bottom habitats, from rock to sand, and support a diversity of fauna.

There is considerable diversity among coral garden communities, which have previously been observed in areas such as northwest and southeast Iceland.

The team hopes the area, which extends over nearly 500 square kilometres will be protected as a Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem under UN guidelines as it is right next to deep-sea trawl fisheries.

Deep-sea trawling for shrimp and prawns is vital to Greenlands economy but can damage the environment by dragging heavy gear across the seabed.

Dr Martin Blicher from the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources said: Greenlands seafloor is virtually unexplored, although we know it is inhabited by more than 2000 different species together contributing to complex and diverse habitats, and to the functioning of the marine ecosystem.

Despite knowing so little about these seafloor habitats, the Greenlandic economy depends on a small number of fisheries which trawl the seabed. We hope that studies like this will increase our understanding of ecological relationships, and contribute to sustainable fisheries management.

The findings were published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science.

Deep sea coral garden found in the unlikeliest of places - Metro.co.uk

By David LeibowitzFoothills Focus Columnist

As our days fill with talk of race, you wonder about the honesty of it all.

Blacks, whites, Latinos, Asians, so many shades of skin color, everyone screaming, posturing, but is anyone truly capable of telling hard truths?

You crave hearing someone plainly speak their mind without fear. So, you call the Rev. Jarrett Maupin.

To label Maupin a controversial figure is to do him little justice.

Loathed by many, called out by Blacks and whites alike, Maupin nonetheless has been a fixture in Arizona for more than 15 years. Say what you want about himand I havebut the reverend rarely holds his tongue for fear of bruising feelings on matters of race.

So, you ask him, point blank, what percentage of whites does he believe are racists?

If I just had to put a number on it, Id say about 10% have some kind of prejudice because of their upbringing or their estrangement from minorities, any number of factors, Maupin begins. Now if you get deep in the weeds of race relations, I would say maybe 40% of whites have what you might call subconscious bias.

This would be the you people crowd, Maupin explains: Whites who mean no offense but blurt out lines like, You people have really good soul food.

As he puts it: They dont mean anything by it but a compliment, but its interpreted the wrong way. That doesnt bother me actually. I get a smile out of it.

The reverends summation: The vast majority of white people are not racist.

Which raises a second question, equally blunt: What percentage of Blacks does he believe are prejudiced?

Now youre asking me a tough-a question, Maupin laughs. Ill tell you the honest-to-God truth. I think 50% of Blacks have some prejudice against whites because of things theyve experienced or heard first-hand that have sort of jaded them. Theyve come across that one in 10 white man or one in 10 white woman and theyve painted with a broad brush.

Considered from the perspective of statistics, Maupins response feels breathtaking. Of late, you have heard frequently that racism is a public health crisis, an affliction with all the virulence of COVID-19.

To date, not even 1% of Americans have tested positive for coronavirus. Maupin has just pegged the infectiousness of discrimination at a rate of one in two.

You wonder which cohort youre in, and your loved ones, friends, colleagues?

More to the point, you wonder if America has passed the point where a cure is possible, because unlike a virus, racism does not seem to fade due to herd immunity, at least not if the 155 years since Emancipation tell the tale.

But then Maupin preaches a little. He speaks about his grandmother, the great Opal Ellis, and the late Lincoln Ragsdale, Arizona civil rights icons, and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

He talks about South Africas recovery from apartheid and Americas need for a similar formal reckoning. He talks about his belief that fighting racism in 2020 is less about making new laws and more about changing minds. He shrugs off ideas like reparations or pumping endless tax dollars into public programs.

Brother Leibowitz, we cannot spend our way out of emotional discord, Maupin says. I wish I had a better answer. I know I probably sound like I dont have one.

Not at all, my friend. You sound like a man struggling with something hard. And you sound like someone open to baring your soul. Maybe that is the best two men from opposite worlds can do.

And maybeyou praythat is truly something.

The rest is here:
A conversation about racism opened my eyes The Foothills Focus - Foothills Focus

A friend of mine in America recently tried to buy a new Volvo estate. This should not have been an especially taxing endeavour, given that Volvo is in the business of selling them and the friend in question had both ample money and inclination to buyone.

He wanted the new Polestar Engineered V60, which combinesturbocharging, hybrid propulsion and delicate sprinklings of lunacy to become a 400bhp, all-wheel-drive estate with adjustable hlins suspension and the ability to run from 0-60 in the low fours. As this is a pretty specialised bit of kit, Volvo in America decided to make the Polestar V60 special-order only. So far, sosensical.

And when his local Volvo dealer did what car dealers tend todo, he decided that they could take a long drive along an as-yet-unfinished bridge and looked elsewhere for his next set of wheels. So far, still sosensical.

And the very next car he wanted to try was the GLC 63 coupe. So far, so giant high-performance purplewellington.

What could have caused such a phase shift from such off-the-wall awesomeness to the very apotheosis of ugliness? Its quite an achievement to make a car with an AMG V8 only slightly less appealing than licking the medical waste bin of a New York hospital, but surely the award for biggest (and least sensical) achievement had to go to my friend, to decide to forgo not just one particular estate, but estates in their entirety, and instead choose something thatd terrify deep-seacreatures.

But after castigating him for a solid 15 minutes or so, he explained his dilemma: hardly anyone in America was selling quick estates. And its not just in the home of the freethat this is happening,either.

Alfa Romeos excellent Giulia QV can only be improved by two things: having it work more often and offering an estate version. But Alfa decided to build an SUV version instead, because thats where the money is. BMWs superlative M5 is also unavailable as an estate. Cadillac dropped the CTS-V wagon long before the CTS bowed out, and Holden went belly-up entirely, taking its line of LS-powered rear-drive estates with it. All over the world, performance estates are finding that either a fat lady or a swan issinging.

Were it not for just a few manufacturers like Audi, Volvo and Mercedes, the proper family-sized performance estate would cease to exist. Thats because, as you may have already figured out, car makers are not charities. And the business case for making quick estates is clearly too weak for all but the biggest marques (or their subsidiaries) to get past the accountants. A quick SUV gets rubber-stamped at a speed thatd shame anautocrat.

The problem is vast but the solution is simple. It is your civic duty, while you are still able, to buy performance estates and revive the single greatest motoring niche in theworld.

Remember that as much as manufacturers pretend to believe that each new car they release is the second coming of sliced bread, some, like the GLC 63 coupe, the X6 M and any number of useless behemoths like them, are still actively terrible. And if you decide not to buy one, car makers will either change it until you like it or drop itentirely.

So, like any capitalist will tell you, the only vote that really counts is with your wallet. Buy performance estates to reward manufacturers for making them and to punish others for making ridiculous performance SUVs, which is akin to making a performance PennyFarthing.

Straight away, youll be better off, because estates are better to drive, better to own, better for the environment, generally better in terms of luggage and loading space, and better to look at thanSUVs.

Buying a performance estate is even altruistic. If you buy a new super-wagon now, manufacturers will keep selling quick estates for future generations to enjoy, or they can pick up todays examples second-hand a few years hence. Take a second to sit quietly and ask yourself: do you want your kids and their kids teetering ten feet from the ground in a steroidal road behemoth, because theyve been sold a lie that says its the only way to combine practicality andperformance?

Of course not. Do the right thing for yourself, for your descendents and for the manufacturers pursuing this wayward path because they think its what we actually want. But do it soon, or all thats going to be left is a series of giant high-performance purplewellingtons.

Change Our Mind: it is your civic duty to buy performance estates - Top Gear

This article is part of ourreviews of AI research papers, a series of posts that explore the latest findings in artificial intelligence.

Consider the animal in the following image. If you recognize it, a quick series of neuron activations in your brain will link its image to its name and other information you know about it (habitat, size, diet, lifespan, etc). But if like me, youve never seen this animal before, your mind is now racing through your repertoire of animal species, comparing tails, ears, paws, noses, snouts, and everything else to determine which bucket this odd creature belongs to. Your biological neural network is reprocessing your past experience to deal with a novel situation.

(source: Wikipedia)

Our brains, honed through millions of years of evolution, are very efficient processing machines, sorting out the ton of information we receive through our sensory inputs, associating known items with their respective categories.

That picture, by the way, is an Indian civet, an endangered species that has nothing to do with cats, dogs, and rodents. It should be placed in its own separate category (viverrids). There you go. You now have a new bucket to place civets in, which includes this variant that was sighted recently in India.

While we have yet to learn much about how the mind works, we are in the midst (or maybe still at the beginning) of an era of creating our own version of the human brain. After decades of research and development, researchers have managed to create deep neural networks that sometimes match or surpass human performance in specific tasks.

[Read: Artificial vs augmented intelligence: whats the difference?]

But one of the recurring themes in discussions about artificial intelligence is whether artificial neural networks used in deep learning work similarly to the biological neural networks of our brains. Many scientists agree that artificial neural networks are a very rough imitation of the brains structure, and some believe that ANNs are statistical inference engines that do not mirror the many functions of the brain. The brain, they believe, contains many wonders that go beyond the mere connection of biological neurons.

A paper recently published in the peer-reviewed journal Neuron challenges the conventional view of the functions of the human brain. Titled Direct Fit to Nature: An Evolutionary Perspective on Biological and Artificial Neural Networks, the paper discusses that contrary to the beliefs of many scientists, the human brain is a brute-force big data processor that fits its parameters to the many examples that it experiences. Thats the kind of description usually given to deep neural networks.

Authored by researchers at Princeton University, the thought-provoking paper provides a different perspective on neural networks, analogies between ANNs and their biological counterparts, and future directions for creating more capable artificial intelligence systems.

Neuroscientists generally believe that the complex functionalities of the brain can be broken down into simple, interpretable models.

For instance, I can explain the complex mental process of my analysis of the civet picture (before I knew its name, of course), as such: Its definitely not a bird because it doesnt have feathers and wings. And it certainly isnt a fish. Its probably a mammal, given the furry coat. It could be a cat, given the pointy ears, but the neck is a bit too long and the body shape a bit weird. The snout is a bit rodent-like, but the legs are longer than most rodents and finally I would come to the conclusion that its probably an esoteric species of cat. (In my defense, it is a very distant relative of felines if you insist.)

Artificial neural networks, however, are often dismissed as uninterpretable black boxes. They do not provide rich explanations of their decision process. This is especially true when it comes to the complex deep neural networks that are composed of hundreds (or thousands of layers) and millions (or billions) or parameters.

During their training phase, deep neural networks review millions of images and their associated labels, and then they mindlessly tune their millions of parameters to the patterns they extract from those images. These tuned parameters then allow them to determine which class a new image belongs to. They dont understand the higher-level concepts that I just mentioned (neck, ear, nose, legs, etc.) and only look for consistency between the pixels of an image.

The authors of Direct Fit to Nature acknowledge that neural networksboth biological and artificialcan differ considerably in their circuit architecture, learning rules, and objective functions.

All networks, however, use an iterative optimization process to pursue an objective, given their input or environmenta process we refer to as direct fit, the researchers write. The term direct fit is inspired from the blind fitting process observed in evolution, an elegant but mindless optimization process where different organisms adapt to their environment through a series of random genetic transformations carried out over a very long period.

This framework undercuts the assumptions of traditional experimental approaches and makes unexpected contact with long-standing debates in developmental and ecological psychology, the authors write.

Another problem that the artificial intelligence community faces is the tradeoff between interpretability and generalization. Scientists and researchers are constantly searching for new techniques and structures that can generalize AI capabilities across vaster domains. And experience has shown that, when it comes to artificial neural networks, scale improves generalization. Advances in processing hardware and the availability of large compute resources have enabled researchers to create and train very large neural networks in reasonable timeframes. And these networks have proven to be remarkably better at performing complex tasks such as computer vision and natural language processing.

The problem with artificial neural networks, however, is that the larger they get, the more opaque they become. With their logic spread across millions of parameters, they become much harder to interpret than a simple regression model that assigns a single coefficient to each feature. Simplifying the structure of artificial neural networks (e.g., reducing the number of layers or variables) will make it easier to interpret how they map different input features to their outcomes. But simpler models are also less capable in dealing with the complex and messy data found in nature.

We argue that neural computation is grounded in brute-force direct fitting, which relies on over-parameterized optimization algorithms to increase predictive power (generalization) without explicitly modeling the underlying generative structure of the world, the authors of Direct Fit to Nature write.

Say you want to create an AI system that detects chairs in images and videos. Ideally, you would provide the algorithm with a few images of chairs, and it would be able to detect all types of normal as well as wacky and funky ones.

Are these chairs?

This is one of the long-sought goals of artificial intelligence, creating models that can extrapolate well. This means that, given a few examples of a problem domain, the model should be able to extract the underlying rules and apply them to a vast range of novel examples it hasnt seen before.

When dealing with simple (mostly artificial) problem domains, it might be possible to reach extrapolation level by tuning a deep neural network to a small set of training data. For instance, such levels of generalization might be achievable in domains with limited features such as sales forecasting and inventory management. (But as weve seen in these pages, even these simple AI models might fall apart when a fundamental change comes to their environment.)

But when it comes to messy and unstructured data such as images and text, small data approaches tend to fail. In images, every pixel effectively becomes a variable, so analyzing a set of 100100 pixel images becomes a problem with 10,000 dimensions, each having thousands or millions of possibilities.

In cases in which there are complex nonlinearities and interactions among variables at different parts of the parameter space, extrapolation from such limited data is bound to fail, the Princeton researchers write.

The human brain, many cognitive scientists believe, can rely on implicit generative rules without being exposed to rich data from the environment. Artificial neural networks, on the other hand, do not have such capabilities, the popular belief is. This is the belief that the authors of Direct Fit to Nature challenge.

Dense sampling of the problem space can flip the problem of prediction on its head, turning an extrapolation-based problem into an interpolation-based problem, the researchers note.

In essence, with enough samples, you will be able to capture a large enough area of the problem domain. This makes it possible to interpolate between samples with simple computations without the need to extract abstract rules to predict the outcome of situations that fall outside the domain of the training examples.

When the data structure is complex and multidimensional, a mindless direct-fit model, capable of interpolation-based prediction within a real-world parameter space, is preferable to a traditional ideal-fit explicit model that fails to explain much variance in the data, the authors of Direct Fit to Nature write.

Extrapolation (left) tries to extract rules from big data and apply them to the entire problem space. Interpolation (right) relies on rich sampling of the problem space to calculate the spaces between samples.

In tandem with advances in computing hardware, the availability of very large data sets has enabled the creation of direct-fit artificial neural networks in the past decade. The internet is rich with all sorts of data from various domains. Scientists create vast deep learning data sets from Wikipedia, social media networks, image repositories, and more. The advent of the internet of things (IoT) has also enabled rich sampling from physical environments (roads, buildings, weather, bodies, etc.).

In many types of applications (i.e., supervised learning algorithms), the gathered data still requires a lot of manual labor to associate each sample with its outcome. But nonetheless, the availability of big data has made it possible to apply the direct-fit approach to complex domains that cant be represented with few samples and general rules.

One argument against this approach is the long tail problem, often described as edge cases. For instance, in image classifications, one of the outstanding problems is that popular training data sets such as ImageNet provides millions of pictures of different types of objects. But since most of the pictures were taken under ideal lighting conditions and from conventional angles, deep neural networks trained on these datasets fail to recognize those objects in rare positions.

ImageNet vs reality: In ImageNet (left column) objects are neatly positioned, in ideal background and lighting conditions. In the real world, things are messier (source: objectnet.dev)

The long tail does not pertain to new examples per se, but to low-frequency or odd examples (e.g. a strange view of a chair, or a chair shaped like an unrelated object) or riding in a new context (like driving in a blizzard or with a flat tire), co-authors of the paper Uri Hasson, Professor at Department of Psychology and Princeton Neuroscience Institute, and Sam Nastase, Postdoctoral researcher at Princeton Neuroscience Institute, told TechTalks in written comments. Note that biological organisms, including people, like ANNs, are bad at extrapolating to contexts they never experienced; e.g. many people fail spectacularly when driving in snow for the first time.

Many developers try to make their deep learning models more robust by blindly adding more samples to the training data set, hoping to cover all possible situations. This usually doesnt solve the problem, because the sampling techniques dont widen the distribution of the data set, and edge cases remain uncovered by the easily collected data samples. The solution, Hasson and Nastase argue, is to expand the interpolation zone by providing a more ecological, embodied sampling regime for artificial neural networks that currently perform poorly in the tail of the distribution.

For example, many of the oddities in classical human visual psychophysics are trivially resolved by allowing the observer to simply move and actively sample the environment (something essentially all biological organisms do), they say. That is, the long-tail phenomenon is in part a sampling deficiency. However, the solution isnt necessarily just more samples (which will in large part come from the body of the distribution), but will instead require more sophisticated sampling observed in biological organisms (e.g. novelty seeking).

This observation is in line with recent research that shows employing a more diverse sampling methodology can in fact improve the performance of computer vision systems.

In fact, the need for sampling from the long tail also applies to the human brain. For instance, consider one of the oft-mentioned criticisms against self-driving cars which posits that their abilities are limited to the environments theyve been trained in.

Even the most experienced drivers can find themselves in a new context where they are not sure how to act. The point is to not train a foolproof car, but a self-driving car that can drive, like humans, in 99 percent of the contexts. Given the diversity of driving contexts, this is not easy, but perhaps doable, Hasson and Nastase say. We often overestimate the generalization capacity of biological neural networks, including humans. But most biological neural networks are fairly brittle; consider for example that raising ocean temperatures 2 degrees will wreak havoc on entire ecosystems.

Many scientists criticize AI systems that rely on very large neural networks, arguing that the human brain is very resource-efficient. The brain is a three-pound mass of matter that uses little over 10 watts of electricity. Deep neural networks, however, often require very large servers that can consume megawatts of power.

But hardware aside, comparing the components of the brain to artificial neural networks paints a different picture. The largest deep neural networks are composed of a few billion parameters. The human brain, in contrast, is constituted of approximately 1,000 trillion synapses, the biological equivalent of ANN parameters. Moreover, the brain is a highly parallel system, which makes it very hard to compare its functionality to that of ANNs.

Although the brain is certainly subject to wiring and metabolic constraints, we should not commit to an argument for scarcity of computational resources as long as we poorly understand the computational machinery in question, the Princeton researchers write in their paper.

Another argument is that, in contrast to ANNs, the biological neural network of the human brain has very poor input mechanisms and doesnt have the capacity to ingest and process very large amounts of data. This makes it inevitable for human brains to learn new tasks without learning the underlying rules.

To be fair, calculating the input entering the brain is complicated. But we often underestimate the huge amount of data that we process. For example, we may be exposed to thousands of visual exemplars of many daily categories a year, and each category may be sampled at thousands of views in each encounter, resulting in a rich training set for the visual system. Similarly, with regard to language, studies estimate that a child is exposed to several million words per year, the authors of the paper write.

One thing that cant be denied, however, is that humans do in fact extract rules from their environment and develop abstract thoughts and concepts that they use to process and analyze new information. This complex symbol manipulation enables humans to compare and draw analogies between different tasks and perform efficient transfer learning. Understanding and applying causality remain among the unique features of the human brain.

It is certainly the case that humans can learn abstract rules and extrapolate to new contexts in a way that exceeds modern ANNs. Calculus is perhaps the best example of learning to apply rules across different contexts. Discovering natural laws in physics is another example, where you learn a very general rule from a set of limited observations, Hasson and Nastase say.

These are the kind of capabilities that emerge not from the activations and interactions of a single neural network but are the result of the accumulated knowledge across many minds and generations.

This is one area that direct-fit models fall short, Hasson and Nastase acknowledge. Scientifically, it is called System 1 and System 2 thinking. System 1 refers to the kind of tasks that can be learned by rote, such as recognizing faces, walking, running, driving. You can perform most of these capabilities subconsciously, while also performing some other task (e.g., walking and talking to someone else at the same time, driving and listening to the radio). System 2, however, requires concentration and conscious thinking (can you solve a differential equation while jogging?).

In the paper, we distinguish fast and automatic System 1 capacities from the slow and deliberate cognitive functions, Hasson and Nastase say. While direct fit allows the brain to be competent while being blind to the solution it learned (similar to all evolved functional solutions in biology), and while it explains the ability of System 1 to learn to perceive and act across many contexts, it still doesnt fully explain a subset of human functions attributed to System 2 which seems to gain some explicit understanding of the underlying structure of the world.

So what do we need to develop AI algorithms that have System 2 capabilities? This is one area where theres much debate in the research community. Some scientists, including deep learning pioneer Yoshua Bengio, believe that pure neural network-based systems will eventually lead to System 2 level AI. New research in the field shows that advanced neural network structures manifest the kind of symbol manipulation capabilities that were previously thought to be off-limits for deep learning.

In Direct Fit to Nature, the authors support the pure neural networkbased approach. In their paper, they write: Although the human mind inspires us to touch the stars, it is grounded in the mindless billions of direct-fit parameters of System 1. Therefore, direct-fit interpolation is not the end goal but rather the starting point for understanding the architecture of higher-order cognition. There is no other substrate from which System 2 could arise.

An alternative view is the creation of hybrid systems that incorporate classic symbolic AI with neural networks. The area has drawn much attention in the past year, and there are several projects that show that rule-based AI and neural networks can complement each other to create systems that are stronger than the sum of their parts.

Although non-neural symbolic computingin the vein of von Neumanns model of a control unit and arithmetic logic unitsis useful in its own right and may be relevant at some level of description, the human System 2 is a product of biological evolution and emerges from neural networks, Hasson and Nastase wrote in their comments to TechTalks.

In their paper, Hasson and Nastase expand on some of the possible components that might develop higher capabilities for neural networks. One interesting suggestion is providing a physical body for neural networks to experience and explore the world like other living beings.

Integrating a network into a body that allows it to interact with objects in the world is necessary for facilitating learning in new environments, Hasson and Nastase said. Asking a language model to learn the meaning of words from the adjacent words in text corpora exposes the network to a highly restrictive and narrow context. If the network has a body and can interact with objects and people in a way that relates to the words, it is likely to get a better sense of the meaning of words in context. Counterintuitively, imposing these sorts of limitations (e.g. a body) on a neural network can force the neural network to learn more useful representations.
