Policy Learning for Malaria Control
Nguyen, Van Bach, Karim, Belaid Mohamed, Vu, Bao Long, Schlötterer, Jörg, Granitzer, Michael
Sequential decision making is a typical problem in reinforcement learning with plenty of algorithms to solve it. However, only a few of them can work effectively with a very small number of observations. In this report, we introduce the progress to learn the policy for Malaria Control as a Reinforcement Learning problem in the KDD Cup Challenge 2019 and propose diverse solutions to deal with the limited observations problem. We apply the Genetic Algorithm, Bayesian Optimization, Q-learning with sequence breaking to find the optimal policy for five years in a row with only 20 episodes/100 evaluations. We evaluate those algorithms and compare their performance with Random Search as a baseline. Among these algorithms, Q-Learning with sequence breaking has been submitted to the challenge and got ranked 7th in KDD Cup.

Elephants & AI: Can Artificial Intelligence Save Elephants?
I'll Be Seeing You is a special four-part radio series featuring original reporting on a variety of subjects connected by rapidly shifting technology. We go to Malawi to look at how researchers are tailoring AI in their efforts to find poachers, and how a team at Cornell who are using machine learning to understand elephant language. About the series: Without our being fully aware, hacking, artificial intelligence, offensive cyber, and data surveillance has crept into our lives. I'll Be Seeing You takes listeners on a narrative journey to make sense of it all. In four one hour specials, NPR's Dina Temple-Raston will investigate the mysterious death of one of the world's most famous hackers, explain how artificial intelligence is saving the elephants, go behind-the-scenes with a secret military team hacking into ISIS, and explore how technology is changing the way the government catches spies.
Money Talks: Drone Investment Trends Update - Drone Industry Insights
Earlier this month the thermal imagery manufacturer FLIR bought the UAV developer Aeryon Labs for $200 million, beating their previous record in publicly disclosed drone investments of $134M. This has been yet another signal that even though the drone industry suffered some hard hits in 2018, the period of consolidation, larger investments and serious R&D advances is ahead. In fact, if one were to look at merely the investment figures for 2018, it wouldn't even be that easy to tell that the drone industry struggled. Records were set, partnerships formed, and accelerators continued to support exceptional start-ups. A total of $702 million was invested into the drone industry in 2018 (up from $625M in 2017), $483 million of which was funnelled into the top 20 drone deals.
The Worlds That AI Might Create
How are experts looking at the same present and arriving at such different and contradictory futures? Here's a look at five scenarios, and the paths that getting there might take. As artificial intelligence becomes more powerful, a lot of current jobs are doomed to disappear. University of Oxford researchers in 2017 estimated that nearly half of all U.S. jobs were at risk from AI-powered automation. Other forecasts come up with different estimates, but by any measure, the number of lost jobs is potentially huge. Automation has already made manufacturing, mining, agriculture and many other industries much less labor-intensive. One study estimated that from 1993 to 2007, each industrial robot replaced 3.3 workers. With about 2.5 million robots in industry now and more than three million expected by 2020, the trend is expected to accelerate, and manufacturing could lose up to 20 million jobs by 2030, according to a study this year by Oxford Economics.
Abu Dhabi unveils Artificial Intelligence University
Abu Dhabi has established a graduate level research-based artificial intelligence (AI) university. The first of its kind university, named the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) will give graduate students, businesses and governments the ability to stimulate the AI space with access to advanced AI systems across the world. HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces commented that the establishment "echoes the UAE's pioneering spirit, and paves the way towards a new era of innovation and technological advancement that benefits the UAE and the world". Pizza Hut is leveraging technology to enhance its customers' experience in APAC Experts have predicted that AI's contribution to the UAE's GDP will rise 14% by 2030 and could contribute nearly US$16tn (AED58.7tn) to the global economy. "As such, the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence is an open invitation from Abu Dhabi to the world to unleash AI's full potential. The University will bring the discipline of AI into the forefront, moulding and empowering creative pioneers who can lead us to a new AI-empowered era," commented Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, chairman of the MBZUAI board of trustees.
A Memetic Algorithm Based on Breakout Local Search for the Generalized Travelling Salesman Problem
Krari, Mehdi El, Ahiod, Belaïd
The Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) is one of the most popularCombinatorial Optimization Problem. It is well solicited for the large variety ofapplications that it can solve, but also for its difficulty to find optimal solutions. Oneof the variants of the TSP is the Generalized TSP (GTSP), where the TSP isconsidered as a special case which makes the GTSP harder to solve. We propose inthis paper a new memetic algorithm based on the well-known Breakout Local Search(BLS) metaheuristic to provide good solutions for GTSP instances. Our approach iscompetitive compared to other recent memetic algorithms proposed for the GTSPand gives at the same time some improvements to BLS to reduce its runtime.Keywords: Generalized Travelling Salesman Problem, Breakout Local Search,Memetic Algorithms, Iterated Local Search
