Artificial Intelligence must be for all - including developing countries

#artificialintelligence

The list of tech failures in development is long. Whether it be drone pilots getting in the way of emergency relief in Nepal, or computers gathering dust in Indian schools because teachers don't know how to use them, the outcome is rarely positive when techies fall in love with their preferred solutions rather than taking time to understand real problems faced by real people. The best example of a technology that has driven great development gains in recent years is of course the mobile phone. But mobile's extraordinary impact in Africa did not flow from some grand design. Instead, it was the result of African citizens innovating their way around information and money transfer problems in the absence of banking systems and other infrastructure.

The majority of Indian startups expect to have a difficult year on the fundraising front while mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are their preferred mode of exit, according to a survey conducted by venture debt firm InnoVen Capital. The India Startup Outlook Report 2018 presented insights from more than 100 startup founders and top executives across sectors and at various stages of growth. More than half of the respondents felt the fundraising environment would be more challenging in 2018 as compared to the previous year, for which around the same numbers found the fundraising experience to be favourable. Only 37% had found the climate to be favourable in 2016. Founders said they had pitched to six to ten investors on an average to close a funding round.

Semi-Orthogonal Non-Negative Matrix Factorization

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) is a popular clustering and dimension reduction method by decomposing a non-negative matrix into the product of two lower dimension matrices composed of basis vectors. In this paper, we propose a semi-orthogonal NMF method that enforces one of the matrices to be orthogonal with mixed signs, thereby guarantees the rank of the factorization. Our method preserves strict orthogonality by implementing the Cayley transformation to force the solution path to be exactly on the Stiefel manifold, as opposed to the approximated orthogonality solutions in existing literature. We apply a line search update scheme along with an SVD-based initialization which produces a rapid convergence of the algorithm compared to other existing approaches. In addition, we present formulations of our method to incorporate both continuous and binary design matrices. Through various simulation studies, we show that our model has an advantage over other NMF variations regarding the accuracy of the factorization, rate of convergence, and the degree of orthogonality while being computationally competitive. We also apply our method to a text-mining data on classifying triage notes, and show the effectiveness of our model in reducing classification error compared to the conventional bag-of-words model and other alternative matrix factorization approaches.


A review of neuro-fuzzy systems based on intelligent control

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The system's ability to adapt and self-organize are two key factors when it comes to how well the system can survive the changes to the environment and the plant they work within. Intelligent control improves these two factors in controllers. Considering the increasing complexity of dynamic systems along with their need for feedback controls, using more complicated controls has become necessary and intelligent control can be a suitable response to this necessity. This paper briefly describes the structure of intelligent control and provides a review on fuzzy logic and neural networks which are some of the base methods for intelligent control. The different aspects of these two methods are then compared together and an example of a combined method is presented.


Branching embedding: A heuristic dimensionality reduction algorithm based on hierarchical clustering

arXiv.org Machine Learning

This paper proposes a new dimensionality reduction algorithm named branching embedding (BE). It converts a dendrogram to a two-dimensional scatter plot, and visualizes the inherent structures of the original high-dimensional data. Since the conversion part is not computationally demanding, the BE algorithm would be beneficial for the case where hierarchical clustering is already performed. Numerical experiments revealed that the outputs of the algorithm moderately preserve the original hierarchical structures.


Protein Folding Optimization using Differential Evolution Extended with Local Search and Component Reinitialization

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

This paper presents a novel Differential Evolution algorithm for protein folding optimization that is applied to a three-dimensional AB off-lattice model. The proposed algorithm includes two new mechanisms. A local search is used to improve convergence speed and to reduce the runtime complexity of the energy calculation. For this purpose, a local movement is introduced within the local search. The designed evolutionary algorithm has fast convergence speed and, therefore, when it is trapped into the local optimum or a relatively good solution is located, it is hard to locate a better similar solution. The similar solution is different from the good solution in only a few components. A component reinitialization method is designed to mitigate this problem. Both the new mechanisms and the proposed algorithm were analyzed on well-known amino acid sequences that are used frequently in the literature. Experimental results show that the employed new mechanisms improve the efficiency of our algorithm and that the proposed algorithm is superior to other state-of-the-art algorithms. It obtained a hit ratio of 100% for sequences up to 18 monomers, within a budget of $10^{11}$ solution evaluations. New best-known solutions were obtained for most of the sequences. The existence of the symmetric best-known solutions is also demonstrated in the paper.


Discrete Factorization Machines for Fast Feature-based Recommendation

arXiv.org Machine Learning

User and item features of side information are crucial for accurate recommendation. However, the large number of feature dimensions, e.g., usually larger than 10^7, results in expensive storage and computational cost. This prohibits fast recommendation especially on mobile applications where the computational resource is very limited. In this paper, we develop a generic feature-based recommendation model, called Discrete Factorization Machine (DFM), for fast and accurate recommendation. DFM binarizes the real-valued model parameters (e.g., float32) of every feature embedding into binary codes (e.g., boolean), and thus supports efficient storage and fast user-item score computation. To avoid the severe quantization loss of the binarization, we propose a convergent updating rule that resolves the challenging discrete optimization of DFM. Through extensive experiments on two real-world datasets, we show that 1) DFM consistently outperforms state-of-the-art binarized recommendation models, and 2) DFM shows very competitive performance compared to its real-valued version (FM), demonstrating the minimized quantization loss.
