Medical imaging creates tremendous amounts of data: many emergency room radiologists must examine as many as 200 cases each day, and some medical studies contain up to 3,000 images. Each patient's image collection can contain 250GB of data, ultimately creating collections across organizations that are petabytes in size. Within IBM Research, we see potential in applying AI to help radiologists sift through this information, including imaging analysis from breast, liver, and lung exams. IBM researchers are applying deep learning to discover ways to overcome some of the technical challenges that AI can face when analyzing X-rays and other medical images. Their latest findings will be presented at the 21st International Conference on Medical Image Computing & Computer Assisted Intervention in Granada, Spain, from September 16 to 20.

They're using machine learning to sort through millions of malware files, searching for common characteristics that will help them identify new attacks. They're analyzing people's voices, fingerprints and typing styles to make sure that only authorized users get into their systems. And they're hunting for clues to figure out who launched cyberattacks--and make sure they can't do it again. "The problem we're running into these days is the amount of data we see is overwhelming," says Mathew Newfield, chief information-security officer at Unisys Corp. UIS 0.50% "Trying to analyze that information is impossible for a human, and that's where machine learning can come into play." The push for AI comes as companies face a huge increase in threats and more-sophisticated criminals who can often draw on nation-states for resources.

The Industrial Internet of Things drastically increases connectivity of devices in industrial applications. In addition to the benefits in efficiency, scalability and ease of use, this creates novel attack surfaces. Historically, industrial networks and protocols do not contain means of security, such as authentication and encryption, that are made necessary by this development. Thus, industrial IT-security is needed. In this work, emulated industrial network data is transformed into a time series and analysed with three different algorithms. The data contains labeled attacks, so the performance can be evaluated. Matrix Profiles perform well with almost no parameterisation needed. Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average performs well in the presence of noise, requiring parameterisation effort. Long Short Term Memory-based neural networks perform mediocre while requiring a high training- and parameterisation effort.

The goal behind Domain Adaptation (DA) is to leverage the labeled examples from a source domain so as to infer an accurate model in a target domain where labels are not available or in scarce at the best. A state-of-the-art approach for the DA is due to (Ganin et al. 2016), known as DANN, where they attempt to induce a common representation of source and target domains via adversarial training. This approach requires a large number of labeled examples from the source domain to be able to infer a good model for the target domain. However, in many situations obtaining labels in the source domain is expensive which results in deteriorated performance of DANN and limits its applicability in such scenarios. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to overcome this limitation. In our work, we first establish that DANN reduces the original DA problem into a semi-supervised learning problem over the space of common representation. Next, we propose a learning approach, namely TransDANN, that amalgamates adversarial learning and transductive learning to mitigate the detrimental impact of limited source labels and yields improved performance. Experimental results (both on text and images) show a significant boost in the performance of TransDANN over DANN under such scenarios. We also provide theoretical justification for the performance boost.

The IBM Watson AI XPRIZE is a four-year competition where teams work to improve the world with artificial intelligence. The competition began in 2017 with 148 problem domains in sustainability, artificial general intelligence, education, and a variety of other grand challenge areas. 59 teams advanced to the second year of the competition and ten teams earned special recognition as “milestone nominees.” The properties of the advancing problem domains highlight opportunities and challenges for the “AI for Good” movement. We detail the judging process and highlight preliminary results from cutting the field of competing teams.

Metric functions for phoneme perception capture the similarity structure among phonemes in a given language and therefore play a central role in phonology and psycho-linguistics. Various phenomena depend on phoneme similarity, such as spoken word recognition or serial recall from verbal working memory. This study presents a new framework for learning a metric function for perceptual distances among pairs of phonemes. Previous studies have proposed various metric functions, from simple measures counting the number of phonetic dimensions that two phonemes share (place-, manner-of-articulation and voicing), to more sophisticated ones such as deriving perceptual distances based on the number of natural classes that both phonemes belong to. However, previous studies have manually constructed the metric function, which may lead to unsatisfactory account of the empirical data. This study presents a framework to derive the metric function from behavioral data on phoneme perception using learning algorithms. We first show that this approach outperforms previous metrics suggested in the literature in predicting perceptual distances among phoneme pairs. We then study several metric functions derived by the learning algorithms and show how perceptual saliencies of phonological features can be derived from them. For English, we show that the derived perceptual saliencies are in accordance with a previously described order among phonological features and show how the framework extends the results to more features. Finally, we explore how the metric function and perceptual saliencies of phonological features may vary across languages. To this end, we compare results based on two English datasets and a new dataset that we have collected for Hebrew.

Traditional human activity recognition (HAR) based on time series adopts sliding window analysis method. This method faces the multi-class window problem which mistakenly labels different classes of sampling points within a window as a class. In this paper, a HAR algorithm based on U-Net is proposed to perform activity labeling and prediction at each sampling point. The activity data of the triaxial accelerometer is mapped into an image with the single pixel column and multi-channel which is input into the U-Net network for training and recognition. Our proposal can complete the pixel-level gesture recognition function. The method does not need manual feature extraction and can effectively identify short-term behaviors in long-term activity sequences. We collected the Sanitation dataset and tested the proposed scheme with four open data sets. The experimental results show that compared with Support Vector Machine (SVM), k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN), Decision Tree(DT), Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Fully Convolutional Networks (FCN) methods, our proposal has the highest accuracy and F1-socre in each dataset, and has stable performance and high robustness. At the same time, after the U-Net has finished training, our proposal can achieve fast enough recognition speed.
