Dimensionality reduction is an important operation in information visualization, feature extraction, clustering, regression, and classification, especially for processing noisy high dimensional data. However, most existing approaches preserve either the global or the local structure of the data, but not both. Approaches that preserve only the global data structure, such as principal component analysis (PCA), are usually sensitive to outliers. Approaches that preserve only the local data structure, such as locality preserving projections, are usually unsupervised (and hence cannot use label information) and uses a fixed similarity graph. We propose a novel linear dimensionality reduction approach, supervised discriminative sparse PCA with adaptive neighbors (SDSPCAAN), to integrate neighborhood-free supervised discriminative sparse PCA and projected clustering with adaptive neighbors. As a result, both global and local data structures, as well as the label information, are used for better dimensionality reduction. Classification experiments on nine high-dimensional datasets validated the effectiveness and robustness of our proposed SDSPCAAN.

For months, Australia has been ravaged by bushfires. These massive fires, fueled by lengthy droughts and high temperatures, have caught the world's attention as lives have been lost and entire towns have been evacuated. But even as the firefighters push back against the flames, another kind of flame war has emerged: the debate over whether or not changes in the world's climate are responsible for the devastating scale of the bushfires. As it turns out, deep learning techniques may have already provided some crucial answers. A few years ago, the seemingly increasing frequency of Australian bushfires had already caught the attention of a group of Tasmanian researchers.

A mathematical study claims to have proven the long-held belief that the Battle of Britain could have easily been won by the Germans if not for tactical ineptitude. University of York researchers have created a computer model that uses a statistical technique called'weighted bootstrapping' to re-imagine the 1940 battle under different circumstances. It identifies two enormous blunders by notorious Nazi commander Hermann Goering - a trained fighter pilot - who led the assault that crippled the Nazi effort and helped Britain win. The researchers say it provides statistical backing to many historians' belief that if Germany had launched an attack immediately after Winston Churchill's famous'Battle of Britain' speech on June 18, rather than three weeks later on July 10, and targeted airfields rather than cities and populated areas, the Nazis would probably have been victorious. This would have crippled the British response by decimating the number of fighter pilots and destroying vital radar systems used to track German planes, paving the way for a naval and land invasion.

With each passing year, the fintech sector is providing faster, flexible and secured consumer experience, and is protecting against the risks and vulnerabilities of traditional insurance and loans. In fact, the global fintech market size is expected to grow to $124.3 billion by the end of 2025 at a CAGR of 23.8%. With a vision of providing small and medium-sized growth companies with debt finance, along with aiding them in competing against the large corporations, UK-based OakNorth is utilising artificial intelligence and machine learning to fulfil the dream. Since its inception, OakNorth has secured over $1 billion from leading investors which has been used to launch lending operations and others such. After meeting each other at college in the year 2002, Khosla and Perlman decided to launch their own business that could solve the challenges they had to face in securing debt finance from high street banks during their previous business -- Copal Amba which scaled to 3,000 employees and was later acquired by Moody's Corporation in 2014.

A mechatronic engineering student from Australia's Curtin University had developed an intelligent system capable of reading people's emotions in real-time. This project offers potential benefits for national security as well as health authorities. According to a recent press release, three artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms were used to create the system. The algorithms are capable of assessing emotional reactions via the monitoring of real-time video footage. Final-year student, Mr. Jordan Vice, was invited to present his work to the First IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Machine Intelligence held in Los Angeles recently.

Virtual avatars might well be the future of customer support. According to Juniper Research, conversational assistants will drive cost savings of over $8 billion annually by 2022 (up from $20 million in 2017). In fact, chatbots are anticipated to power 85% of all customer service interactions by year-end 2020 -- already, 42% of consumers use them on the regular. It was with this in mind that Greg Cross and Mark Sagar, a former special projects supervisor at director Peter Jackson's Weta Digital, founded Soul Machines in 2016. The goal was to develop a suite enabling clients to build interactive customer experiences.

The connectivity structure of graphs is typically related to the attributes of the nodes. In social networks for example, the probability of a friendship between two people depends on their attributes, such as their age, address, and hobbies. The connectivity of a graph can thus possibly be understood in terms of patterns of the form 'the subgroup of individuals with properties X are often (or rarely) friends with individuals in another subgroup with properties Y'. Such rules present potentially actionable and generalizable insights into the graph. We present a method that finds pairs of node subgroups between which the edge density is interestingly high or low, using an information-theoretic definition of interestingness. This interestingness is quantified subjectively, to contrast with prior information an analyst may have about the graph. This view immediately enables iterative mining of such patterns. Our work generalizes prior work on dense subgraph mining (i.e. subgraphs induced by a single subgroup). Moreover, not only is the proposed method more general, we also demonstrate considerable practical advantages for the single subgroup special case.

We propose to tackle the mode collapse problem in generative adversarial networks (GANs) by using multiple discriminators and assigning a different portion of each minibatch, called microbatch, to each discriminator. We gradually change each discriminator's task from distinguishing between real and fake samples to discriminating samples coming from inside or outside its assigned microbatch by using a diversity parameter $\alpha$. The generator is then forced to promote variety in each minibatch to make the microbatch discrimination harder to achieve by each discriminator. Thus, all models in our framework benefit from having variety in the generated set to reduce their respective losses. We show evidence that our solution promotes sample diversity since early training stages on multiple datasets.
