Comparing Machine Learning Algorithms with or without Feature Extraction for DNA Classification

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The classification of DNA sequences is a key research area in bioinformatics as it enables researchers to conduct genomic analysis and detect possible diseases. In this paper, three state-of-the-art algorithms, namely Convolutional Neural Networks, Deep Neural Networks, and N-gram Probabilistic Models, are used for the task of DNA classification. Furthermore, we introduce a novel feature extraction method based on the Levenshtein distance and randomly generated DNA sub-sequences to compute information-rich features from the DNA sequences. We also use an existing feature extraction method based on 3-grams to represent amino acids and combine both feature extraction methods with a multitude of machine learning algorithms. Four different data sets, each concerning viral diseases such as Covid-19, AIDS, Influenza, and Hepatitis C, are used for evaluating the different approaches. The results of the experiments show that all methods obtain high accuracies on the different DNA datasets. Furthermore, the domain-specific 3-gram feature extraction method leads in general to the best results in the experiments, while the newly proposed technique outperforms all other methods on the smallest Covid-19 dataset


Fast Network Community Detection with Profile-Pseudo Likelihood Methods

arXiv.org Machine Learning

The stochastic block model is one of the most studied network models for community detection. It is well-known that most algorithms proposed for fitting the stochastic block model likelihood function cannot scale to large-scale networks. One prominent work that overcomes this computational challenge is Amini et al.(2013), which proposed a fast pseudo-likelihood approach for fitting stochastic block models to large sparse networks. However, this approach does not have convergence guarantee, and is not well suited for small- or medium- scale networks. In this article, we propose a novel likelihood based approach that decouples row and column labels in the likelihood function, which enables a fast alternating maximization; the new method is computationally efficient, performs well for both small and large scale networks, and has provable convergence guarantee. We show that our method provides strongly consistent estimates of the communities in a stochastic block model. As demonstrated in simulation studies, the proposed method outperforms the pseudo-likelihood approach in terms of both estimation accuracy and computation efficiency, especially for large sparse networks. We further consider extensions of our proposed method to handle networks with degree heterogeneity and bipartite properties.


Repulsive Attention: Rethinking Multi-head Attention as Bayesian Inference

arXiv.org Machine Learning

The neural attention mechanism plays an important role in many natural language processing applications. In particular, the use of multi-head attention extends single-head attention by allowing a model to jointly attend information from different perspectives. Without explicit constraining, however, multi-head attention may suffer from attention collapse, an issue that makes different heads extract similar attentive features, thus limiting the model's representation power. In this paper, for the first time, we provide a novel understanding of multi-head attention from a Bayesian perspective. Based on the recently developed particle-optimization sampling techniques, we propose a non-parametric approach that explicitly improves the repulsiveness in multi-head attention and consequently strengthens model's expressiveness. Remarkably, our Bayesian interpretation provides theoretical inspirations on the not-well-understood questions: why and how one uses multi-head attention. Extensive experiments on various attention models and applications demonstrate that the proposed repulsive attention can improve the learned feature diversity, leading to more informative representations with consistent performance improvement on various tasks.


Experience Grounds Language

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Language understanding research is held back by a failure to relate language to the physical world it describes and to the social interactions it facilitates. Despite the incredible effectiveness of language processing models to tackle tasks after being trained on text alone, successful linguistic communication relies on a shared experience of the world. It is this shared experience that makes utterances meaningful. Natural language processing is a diverse field, and progress throughout its development has come from new representational theories, modeling techniques, data collection paradigms, and tasks. We posit that the present success of representation learning approaches trained on large, text-only corpora requires the parallel tradition of research on the broader physical and social context of language to address the deeper questions of communication.


How You Create a Robert Kardashian–Style Hologram--and How Much It Costs

Slate

So it turns out that Kim Kardashian whisking her friends and family off to a private island in the middle of a pandemic was only the second craziest thing about her 40th birthday celebration. On Thursday, Kardashian revealed what her husband, Kanye West, got her the birthday gift at the top of every woman's wish list: her very own hologram. And not just any hologram: It was a so-called holographic resurrection of her late father, Robert Kardashian, who died in 2003. Kaleida, a "multimedia hologram company," published a page to its website taking credit for the creation (Kardashian and West have not yet confirmed the hologram's origins). Reached by Slate, Kaleida director and producer Daniel Reynolds declined to discuss any specifics of the Kardashian hologram, but agreed to speak about the company and its technology more generally. How exactly do you order a hologram of a late relative?

Why you should not do the Ten Year Challenge #10YearChallenge

#artificialintelligence

As COVID19 has put the breaks on our social lives, many have turned to social media as an outlet. The challenges with social media are at an all-time high. Before you consider participating or even allowing your children to participate in what can appear to be harmless fun, there may be a few things to consider. When you or any household member participate in these challenges, you are actually'feeding the beast' of AI. Artificial intelligence uses machine learning techniques to gather its collective databases of information.
