A Variational Approach to Bayesian Phylogenetic Inference

arXiv.org Machine Learning

As a powerful statistical tool that has revolutionized modern molecular evolutionary analysis, Bayesian phylogenetic inference has been widely used for tasks ranging from genomic epidemiology [Dudas et al., 2017, du Plessis et al., 2021] to conservation genetics [DeSalle and Amato, 2004]. Given aligned sequence data (e.g., DNA, RNA or protein sequences) and a model of evolution, Bayesian phylogenetics provides principled approaches to quantify the uncertainty of the evolutionary process in terms of the posterior probabilities of phylogenetic trees [Huelsenbeck et al., 2001]. In addition to uncertainty quantification, Bayesian methods enable integrating out tree uncertainty in order to get more confident estimates of parameters of interest, such as factors in the transmission of Ebolavirus [Dudas et al., 2017]. Bayesian methods also allow complex substitution models [Lartillot and Philippe, 2004], which are important in elucidating deep phylogenetic relationships [Feuda et al., 2017]. Ever since its introduction to the phylogenetic community in the 1990s, Bayesian phylogenetic inference has been dominated by random-walk Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approaches [Yang and Rannala, 1997, Mau et al., 1999, Huelsenbeck and Ronquist, 2001, Drummond et al., 2002, 2005]. However, this approach is fundamentally limited by the complexities of tree space.


Researchers Turn to AI to Protect Sea Creatures

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is helping prevent overfishing in a bid to protect the world's rapidly dwindling supply of edible marine species. A new project uses AI to improve the identification and measurement of fish species in Africa's Nile Basin. The software can help scientists understand fish population density more quickly than human observers. It's part of a larger effort to harness AI to improve sustainability across a wide range of industries. "The promising thing about AI is that it now allows us to do tasks that would be time-consuming or impossibly complex using traditional methods, with considerably more speed and efficiency," Andrew Dunckelman, head of impact and insights at Google.org, the search giant's charitable arm, told Lifewire in an email interview.

#artificialintelligence

As the CEO of one of the top global AI-powered biotechnology companies, I regularly get to see some of the world's most innovative techno parks and biotechnology hubs that are popping up all over the world. Over the past couple of years, I traveled to several such centers in the US, Canada, China, Singapore, and the Middle East. We even established one of our R&D centers at the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park. All of these centers have their advantages and disadvantages that often go in line with the government policies and I will try to cover some of these centers in my future posts and make a comparison. So far, some of the most impressive biotechnology hubs are in China and in Singapore.

The event attracted more than 700 attendees and provided insights into how advanced technologies can help Customs administrations facilitate the flow of goods across borders. The publication titled, "The role of advanced technologies in cross-border trade: A customs perspective" provides the current state of play and sheds light on the opportunities and challenges Customs face when deploying these technologies. The publication outlines the key findings of WCO's 2021 Annual Consolidated Survey and its results on Customs' use of advanced technologies such as blockchain, the internet of things, data analytics and artificial intelligence to facilitate trade and enhance safety, security and fair revenue collection. The joint publication highlights the benefits that can result from the adoption of these advanced technologies, such as enhanced transparency of procedures, sharing of information amongst all relevant stakeholders in real time, better risk management, and improved data quality, leading to greater efficiency in Customs processes and procedures. In his remarks, WCO Deputy Secretary General Ricardo Treviño Chapa said, "Technologies will assist implementation of international trade facilitation rules and standards, such as the WCO Revised Kyoto Convention and the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement. We are therefore delighted to be partnering with the WTO, to ensure that our work in assisting our Members' digital transformation journeys is complementary, that we bring all relevant partners to the same table, and that we avoid duplication."


50 Examples of Machine Learning & AI in Data Analysis

Analytics has been changing the bottom line for businesses for quite some time. Now that more companies are mastering their use of analytics, they are delving deeper into their data to increase efficiency, gain a greater competitive advantage, and boost their bottom lines even more. That's why companies are looking to implement machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI); they want a more comprehensive analytics strategy to achieve these business goals. Learning how to incorporate modern machine learning techniques into their data infrastructure is the first step. For this many are looking to companies that already have begun the implementation process successfully. For call centers, using ML and AI means having conversation analytics software in place – in fact, decades ago call centers began using primitive forms of artificial intelligence.


Statistical-Computational Trade-offs in Tensor PCA and Related Problems via Communication Complexity

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Tensor PCA is a stylized statistical inference problem introduced by Montanari and Richard to study the computational difficulty of estimating an unknown parameter from higher-order moment tensors. Unlike its matrix counterpart, Tensor PCA exhibits a statistical-computational gap, i.e., a sample size regime where the problem is information-theoretically solvable but conjectured to be computationally hard. This paper derives computational lower bounds on the run-time of memory bounded algorithms for Tensor PCA using communication complexity. These lower bounds specify a trade-off among the number of passes through the data sample, the sample size, and the memory required by any algorithm that successfully solves Tensor PCA. While the lower bounds do not rule out polynomial-time algorithms, they do imply that many commonly-used algorithms, such as gradient descent and power method, must have a higher iteration count when the sample size is not large enough. Similar lower bounds are obtained for Non-Gaussian Component Analysis, a family of statistical estimation problems in which low-order moment tensors carry no information about the unknown parameter. Finally, stronger lower bounds are obtained for an asymmetric variant of Tensor PCA and related statistical estimation problems. These results explain why many estimators for these problems use a memory state that is significantly larger than the effective dimensionality of the parameter of interest.

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is much more than just a buzzword nowadays. It powers facial recognition in smartphones and computers, translation between foreign languages, systems which filter spam emails and identify toxic content on social media, and can even detect cancerous tumours. These examples, along with countless other existing and emerging applications of AI, help make people's daily lives easier, especially in the developed world. As of October 2021, 44 countries were reported to have their own national AI strategic plans, showing their willingness to forge ahead in the global AI race. These include emerging economies like China and India, which are leading the way in building national AI plans within the developing world.
