I/O 2019 | Your Data Stays on Your Phone: Google Promises a Better AI
The success of artificial intelligence is built on large corpuses of centralized data collection, but rising concerns over user privacy and data misuse have left many people wary of fully embracing AI on their mobile devices. Google wants to change that.

MixMatch: A Holistic Approach to Semi-Supervised Learning
In this work, researchers unify the current dominant approaches for semi-supervised learning to produce a new algorithm, MixMatch, that works by guessing low-entropy labels for data-augmented unlabeled examples and mixing labeled and unlabeled data using MixUp.

Few-Shot Unsupervised Image-to-Image Translation
Researchers seek a few-shot, unsupervised image-to-image translation algorithm that works on previously unseen target classes that are specified, at test time, only by a few example images. Their model achieves this few-shot generation capability by coupling an adversarial training scheme with a novel network design.

Adversarial Examples Are Not Bugs, They Are Features
Researchers demonstrate that adversarial examples can be directly attributed to the presence of non-robust features: features derived from patterns in the data distribution that are highly predictive, yet brittle and incomprehensible to humans.
