Growing Demand of Machine Learning Market by 2027

#artificialintelligence

Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence. The concept has evolved from computational learning and pattern recognition in artificial intelligence. It explores the construction and study of algorithms and carries out forecasts on data. Machine Learning Market research is an intelligence report with meticulous efforts undertaken to study the right and valuable information. The data which has been looked upon is done considering both, the existing top players and the upcoming competitors.


Artificial Intelligence in Accounting Market to Witness Revolutionary Growth by 2026

#artificialintelligence

The latest study released on the Global Artificial Intelligence in Accounting Market by AMA Research evaluates market size, trend, and forecast to 2026. The Artificial Intelligence in Accounting market study covers significant research data and proofs to be a handy resource document for managers, analysts, industry experts and other key people to have ready-to-access and self-analyzed study to help understand market trends, growth drivers, opportunities and upcoming challenges and about the competitors. Definition and Brief Information about Artificial Intelligence in Accounting: Rising application of AI in artificial intelligence will help to boost global AI in the accounting market. Artificial intelligence is being used by many accounting companies where it analyzes a large volume of data at high speed which would not be easy for humans. For example, Robo-advisor Wealthfront tracks account activity using AI capabilities to analyze and understand how account holders spend, invest, and make financial decisions, so they can customize the advice they give their customers.


Solving the Problem of Bias in Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Back in 2018, the American Civil Liberties Union found out that Amazon's Rekognition, face surveillance technology used by police and courting departments across the US, shows AI bias. During the test, the software incorrectly matched 28 members of Congress with the mugshots of people who have been arrested for committing a crime, and 40% of the false matches were people of color. Following mass protests wherein Amazon's employees refused to contribute to AI tools that reproduce facial recognition bias, the tech giant has announced a one-year moratorium on law enforcement agencies using the platform. The incident has stirred new debate about bias in artificial intelligence algorithms and made companies search for new solutions to the AI bias paradox. In this article, we'll dot the i's, zooming in on the concept, root causes, types, and ethical implications of AI bias, as well as list practical debiasing techniques shared by our AI consultants that worth including in your AI strategy.


Why AI Will Help Define the Next Era of Business - Techonomy

#artificialintelligence

In the near future artificial intelligence is going to be as fundamental for business success as cloud is becoming to running a company's information technology. And AI is where cloud was five years ago. People are realizing there's value here, and business leaders see that AI can help them fundamentally change how their company works, how they get work done, and how they serve customers. In a recent survey of 1200 companies, Cognizant and ESI ThoughtLab found that 64% of executives believe AI will be important to the future of their business. For the largest organizations, the figure was a stunning 85 percent!


How a Wildlife AI Platform Solved its Data Challenge - InformationWeek

#artificialintelligence

Anyone working in data management and data science can attest to the challenge and time-consuming nature of mapping a set of data from a new source into a platform where it can be cleaned, validated, and ultimately analyzed and used to train algorithms. After all, your algorithms are only as good as the data used to train them. Now imagine if these data sets are coming from hundreds of external users who have employed any number of systems to collect this data, from Excel files to actual shoeboxes full of photos. That is the challenge that non-profit wildlife conservation machine learning and artificial intelligence service provider Wild Me has faced over its more than a decade of operation. The organization builds open software and AI for the conservation research community.


AdaL: Adaptive Gradient Transformation Contributes to Convergences and Generalizations

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Adaptive optimization methods have been widely used in deep learning. They scale the learning rates adaptively according to the past gradient, which has been shown to be effective to accelerate the convergence. However, they suffer from poor generalization performance compared with SGD. Recent studies point that smoothing exponential gradient noise leads to generalization degeneration phenomenon. Inspired by this, we propose AdaL, with a transformation on the original gradient. AdaL accelerates the convergence by amplifying the gradient in the early stage, as well as dampens the oscillation and stabilizes the optimization by shrinking the gradient later. Such modification alleviates the smoothness of gradient noise, which produces better generalization performance. We have theoretically proved the convergence of AdaL and demonstrated its effectiveness on several benchmarks.


A thought-provoking reflection on how AI will change conflict

#artificialintelligence

But its valedictory report in March caused a furore. It noted that in a battle around Tripoli last year, Libya's government had "hunted down and remotely engaged" the enemy with drones--and not just any drones. The Kargu-2 was programmed to attack "without requiring data connectivity between the operator and the munition". The implication was that it could pick its own targets.

Combinatorial Optimization with Physics-Inspired Graph Neural Networks

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

We demonstrate how graph neural networks can be used to solve combinatorial optimization problems. Our approach is broadly applicable to canonical NP-hard problems in the form of quadratic unconstrained binary optimization problems, such as maximum cut, minimum vertex cover, maximum independent set, as well as Ising spin glasses and higher-order generalizations thereof in the form of polynomial unconstrained binary optimization problems. We apply a relaxation strategy to the problem Hamiltonian to generate a differentiable loss function with which we train the graph neural network and apply a simple projection to integer variables once the unsupervised training process has completed. We showcase our approach with numerical results for the canonical maximum cut and maximum independent set problems. We find that the graph neural network optimizer performs on par or outperforms existing solvers, with the ability to scale beyond the state of the art to problems with millions of variables.


Online Multi-Agent Forecasting with Interpretable Collaborative Graph Neural Network

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

This paper considers predicting future statuses of multiple agents in an online fashion by exploiting dynamic interactions in the system. We propose a novel collaborative prediction unit (CoPU), which aggregates the predictions from multiple collaborative predictors according to a collaborative graph. Each collaborative predictor is trained to predict the status of an agent by considering the impact of another agent. The edge weights of the collaborative graph reflect the importance of each predictor. The collaborative graph is adjusted online by multiplicative update, which can be motivated by minimizing an explicit objective. With this objective, we also conduct regret analysis to indicate that, along with training, our CoPU achieves similar performance with the best individual collaborative predictor in hindsight. This theoretical interpretability distinguishes our method from many other graph networks. To progressively refine predictions, multiple CoPUs are stacked to form a collaborative graph neural network. Extensive experiments are conducted on three tasks: online simulated trajectory prediction, online human motion prediction and online traffic speed prediction, and our methods outperform state-of-the-art works on the three tasks by 28.6%, 17.4% and 21.0% on average, respectively.
