Large scale representation learning from triplet comparisons
Haghiri, Siavash, Vankadara, Leena Chennuru, von Luxburg, Ulrike
In this paper, we discuss the fundamental problem of representation learning from a new perspective. It has been observed in many supervised/unsupervised DNNs that the final layer of the network often provides an informative representation for many tasks, even though the network has been trained to perform a particular task. The common ingredient in all previous studies is a low-level feature representation for items, for example, RGB values of images in the image context. In the present work, we assume that no meaningful representation of the items is given. Instead, we are provided with the answers to some triplet comparisons of the following form: Is item A more similar to item B or item C? We provide a fast algorithm based on DNNs that constructs a Euclidean representation for the items, using solely the answers to the above-mentioned triplet comparisons. This problem has been studied in a sub-community of machine learning by the name "Ordinal Embedding". Previous approaches to the problem are painfully slow and cannot scale to larger datasets. We demonstrate that our proposed approach is significantly faster than available methods, and can scale to real-world large datasets. Thereby, we also draw attention to the less explored idea of using neural networks to directly, approximately solve non-convex, NPhard optimization problems that arise naturally in unsupervised learning problems. It has been widely recognized that deep neural networks (DNN) provide a powerful tool for representation learning (Bengio et al., 2013). Representations learned in an unsupervised fashion have been demonstrated to be useful in learning tasks such as classification (Ranzato et al., 2007; 2008; Hinton & Salakhutdinov, 2008; Hinton et al., 2006; Bengio et al., 2007). In the context of supervised learning, representations are typically learned as byproducts in neural networks (Radford et al., 2015). For example in image classification, low level representations of inputs (e.g., rgb values) are fed to a network, together with class label information, the network is trained to perform some supervised classification. As a byproduct it discovers a condensed data representation in the last hidden layers of the network that turns out to be surprisingly successful for other computer vision tasks such as object detection or semantic segmentation (Girshick et al., 2014; K ummerer et al., 2014; Long et al., 2015; Ren et al., 2015).
Rank Aggregation via Heterogeneous Thurstone Preference Models
Jin, Tao, Xu, Pan, Gu, Quanquan, Farnoud, Farzad
We propose the Heterogeneous Thurstone Model (HTM) for aggregating ranked data, which can take the accuracy levels of different users into account. By allowing different noise distributions, the proposed HTM model maintains the generality of Thurstone's original framework, and as such, also extends the Bradley-Terry-Luce (BTL) model for pairwise comparisons to heterogeneous populations of users. Under this framework, we also propose a rank aggregation algorithm based on alternating gradient descent to estimate the underlying item scores and accuracy levels of different users simultaneously from noisy pairwise comparisons. We theoretically prove that the proposed algorithm converges linearly up to a statistical error which matches that of the state-of-the-art method for the single-user BTL model. We evaluate the proposed HTM model and algorithm on both synthetic and real data, demonstrating that it outperforms existing methods.
A Dataset Schema for Cooperative Learning from Demonstration in Multi-robots Systems
Simões, Marco A. C., da Silva, Robson Marinho, Nogueira, Tatiane
To achieve these common goals, agents in a MAS should be capable of interacting with other agents, not simply by exchanging data, but by engaging as in social activities, such as those people participate in their daily lives: cooperation, coordination, negotiation, and the like. In MASs, agents are assumed to be autonomous - capable of making independent decisions about to do in order to satisfy their design objectives, and thus they need mechanisms that allow them to synchronize and to coordinate their activities at run time [31]. Although one of the main issues in MASs is the agents' coordination structure, this is not hard-wired at design time, as MASs are typically in standard concurrent/distributed systems. One well-known strategy for coordination in MAS is the design of multi-agent coordinated plans [7][35][36][33][14] that include, not only usual agents' actions defined by their effectors, but also communication actions to achieve the necessary synchronization and coordination. To represent communication actions, some specific languages were created, e.g.
BADGER: Learning to (Learn [Learning Algorithms] through Multi-Agent Communication)

An architecture and a learning procedure where: An agent is made up of many experts All experts share the same communication policy (expert policy), but have different internal memory states There are two levels of learning, an inner loop (with a communication stage) and an outer lo op In ner loop - Agent's behavior and adaptation should emerge as a result of e xperts communicating between each other. Expert s send messag es (of any complexity) to each other and update their internal states based on observations/messages and their internal state fr om the previous time-step. Expert policy is fixed and does not c hange during the inner loop Inner loop loss need not even be a proper loss function. It can be any kind of structured feedback guiding the adaptation during th e age nt's lifetime Outer loop - An expert policy is discovered over generations of agents, ensuring that strategies that find solutions to prob lems in divers e environments can quickly emerge in the inner loop Agent's objective is to adapt fast to novel tasks Exhibiting the following novel properties: Roles of experts and connectivity among them assigned dynamically at inference time Learned communication protocol with context dependent messages of varied complexity Generalizes to different numbers and types of inputs/ou tputs Ca n be trained to handle variations in architecture during bot h training and testing Initial empirical results show generalization and scalability along the spectrum of learning types.
South Africa: Artificial Intelligence and the Changing Face of Banking
To stay ahead of the game and meet customer's needs, banks cannot afford to pay for costly and largely underused branches. Instead, the focus needs to shift to improving their online offerings. This past Friday was arguably the biggest day of the year for retailers, particularly online retailers. Throughout last week, you probably received emails about massive Black Friday discounts. Some of you might have put together wish lists to check out at the stroke of midnight while others used your phones, to scout whether a 30% discount was worth the still hefty price tags.
Chinese companies want to help shape global facial recognition standards
The use of facial recognition technology is continuing to expand, despite concerns about its accuracy and fairness and about how it could be used by governments to spy on people. These concerns have been heightened following a report by the Financial Times which shows that Chinese groups have a significant influence in shaping international standards regarding the technology. The report details how Chinese companies including ZTE, Dahua and China Telecom are proposing standards for facial recognition to the UN's International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the body responsible for global technical standards in the telecommunication industry. Usually, the standards set by the ITU are technical in nature, but human rights campaigners say the proposals under discussion in this case are more like policy recommendations. The standards proposed include recommendations for use cases, suggesting that facial recognition can be used by police, by employers to monitor employees, and for spotting specific targets in crowds.
Artificial Intelligence Predicts what Happens if Trump Gets Impeached & Removed from Office - THE AI ORGANIZATION
The AI Organization used numerous algorithms to achieve an AI based prediction of a digital map of what the world will look like if President Trump is impeached and removed from office. The algorithms achieved a 93% predictability result on more than 1,000 simulated scenarios. The score never dropped to below an average of 93%, even after inputting digital codes built into Google and Baidu via Chinese influence and corporate mandates that were against the U.S and the Trump Administration. This digital report and the A.I. algorithms used the Geo-Political infrastructure and connected it with health, military, the intelligence community, human rights, safety of the U.S and the world at large. These algorithms involve the entire human race.
An Intelligent Approach to Mental Health by Junaid Nabi
BOSTON – A few years ago, toward the end of his life, my father battled severe depression. As a physician and professor, he did not lack access to mental-health care. But he had grown up in a society that stigmatized mental illness, and he was unwilling to seek professional help. As a son, it was devastating to watch my father suffer. As a public-health researcher, I gained a new awareness of the myriad systemic failures in the provision of care.
