Hamish Fraser first encountered Babylon Health in 2017 when he and a colleague helped test the accuracy of several artificial intelligence-powered symptom checkers, meant to offer medical advice for anyone with a smartphone, for Wired U.K. Among the competitors, Babylon's symptom checker performed worst in identifying common illnesses, including asthma and shingles. Fraser, then a health informatics expert at the University of Leeds in England, figured that the company would need to vastly improve to stick around. "At that point I had no prejudice or knowledge of any of them, so I had no axe to grind, and I thought'Oh that's not really good,'" says Fraser, now at Brown University. "I thought they would disappear, right? Much has changed since the Wired U.K. article came out. Since early 2018, the London-based Babylon Health has grown from just 300 employees to approximately 1,500. The company has a valuation of more than $2 billion and says it wants to "put an affordable and accessible health service in the hands of every person on earth." In England, Babylon operates the fifth-largest practice under the country's mostly government-funded National Health Service, allowing patients near London and Birmingham to video chat with doctors or be seen in a clinic if necessary. The company claims to have processed 700,000 digital consultations between patients and physicians, with plans to offer services in other U.K. cities in the future. "I thought they would disappear, right?

This paper investigates the intriguing question of whether we can create learning algorithms that automatically generate training data, learning environments, and curricula in order to help AI agents rapidly learn. We show that such algorithms are possible via Generative Teaching Networks (GTNs), a general approach that is, in theory, applicable to supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning, although our experiments only focus on the supervised case. GTNs are deep neural networks that generate data and/or training environments that a learner (e.g. a freshly initialized neural network) trains on for a few SGD steps before being tested on a target task. We then differentiate through the entire learning process via meta-gradients to update the GTN parameters to improve performance on the target task. GTNs have the beneficial property that they can theoretically generate any type of data or training environment, making their potential impact large. This paper introduces GTNs, discusses their potential, and showcases that they can substantially accelerate learning. We also demonstrate a practical and exciting application of GTNs: accelerating the evaluation of candidate architectures for neural architecture search (NAS), which is rate-limited by such evaluations, enabling massive speed-ups in NAS. GTN-NAS improves the NAS state of the art, finding higher performing architectures when controlling for the search proposal mechanism. GTN-NAS also is competitive with the overall state of the art approaches, which achieve top performance while using orders of magnitude less computation than typical NAS methods. Speculating forward, GTNs may represent a first step toward the ambitious goal of algorithms that generate their own training data and, in doing so, open a variety of interesting new research questions and directions.

--We introduce L EARN2 FIX, the first human-in-the-loop, semiautomatic repair technique when no bug oracle-except for the user who is reporting the bug-is available. Our approach negotiates with the user the condition under which the bug is observed. Only when a budget of queries to the user is exhausted, it attempts to repair the bug. A query can be thought of as the following question: "When executing this alternative test input, the program produces the following output; is the bug observed"? Through systematic queries, L EARN2 FIX trains an automatic bug oracle that becomes increasingly more accurate in predicting the user's response. Our key challenge is to maximize the oracle's accuracy in predicting which tests are bug-revealing given a small budget of queries. From the alternative tests that were labeled by the user, test-driven automatic repair produces the patch. Our experiments demonstrate that L EARN2 FIX learns a sufficiently accurate automatic oracle with a reasonably low labeling effort (lt. Given L EARN2 FIX's test suite, the GenProg test-driven repair tool produces a higher-quality patch (i.e., passing a larger proportion of validation tests) than using manual test suites provided with the repair benchmark. I NTRODUCTION Automatic program repair (APR) [1], [2] holds the promise of automating the tedious, manual task of patching bugs. In their seminal paper, Le Goues and colleagues [3] demonstrated that APR is both feasible and cost-effective even at the scale of several million lines of code. Given a failing test suite, APR changes the buggy program such that all test cases pass. However, what if no such test suite is available? Suppose, a user reports a bug and provides a test input to reproduce the bug. We envision a semiautomatic approach that keeps the human-in-the-loop and negotiates the condition under which the bug is observed before repairing the bug. Strategically, the user is asked: " F or this other input, the program produces that output; is the bug observed "? While the user might not have the expertise to understand the source code or to produce a patch, it seems reasonable to ask to distinguish expected from unexpected program behavior. Iteratively, an automatic bug oracle is trained to predict the user's responses with increasing accuracy. Using the trained oracle, the user can be asked more strategically.

Recent research from SAP and Oxford Economics demonstrated CFOs' strategic initiatives are taking a more active role in the direction of their businesses, rather than operating within a siloed financial function. The report showed that 88% respondents said CFO's are increasingly involved in the strategic decisions of their organisations.

We propose Disentanglement based Active Learning (DAL), a new active learning technique based on query synthesis which leverages the concept of disentanglement. Instead of requesting labels from the human oracle, our method automatically labels majority of the datapoints, thus drastically reducing the human labelling budget in active learning. The proposed method uses Information Maximizing Generative Adversarial Nets (InfoGAN) to achieve the task where the active learner provides a feedback on the generation of InfoGAN based on which decision is taken about the datapoints to be queried. Results on two benchmark datasets demonstrate that DAL is able to achieve nearly fully supervised accuracy with fairly less labelling budget compared to existing active learning approaches.

This paper develops new methods to recover the missing entries of a high-rank or even full-rank matrix when the intrinsic dimension of the data is low compared to the ambient dimension. Specifically, we assume that the columns of a matrix are generated by polynomials acting on a low-dimensional intrinsic variable, and wish to recover the missing entries under this assumption. We show that we can identify the complete matrix of minimum intrinsic dimension by minimizing the rank of the matrix in a high dimensional feature space. We develop a new formulation of the resulting problem using the kernel trick together with a new relaxation of the rank objective, and propose an efficient optimization method. We also show how to use our methods to complete data drawn from multiple nonlinear manifolds. Comparative studies on synthetic data, subspace clustering with missing data, motion capture data recovery, and transductive learning verify the superiority of our methods over the state-of-the-art.

One of the things that really annoys AI researchers is how supposedly "intelligent" machines are judged by much higher standards than are humans. Take self-driving cars, they say. So far they've driven millions of miles with very few accidents, a tiny number of them fatal. Yet whenever an autonomous vehicle kills someone there's a huge hoo-ha, while every year in the US nearly 40,000 people die in crashes involving conventional vehicles. Likewise, the AI evangelists complain, everybody and his dog (this columnist included) is up in arms about algorithmic bias: the way in which automated decision-making systems embody the racial, gender and other prejudices implicit in the data sets on which they were trained.

There's little doubt that artificial intelligence (AI) is having a massive impact on IT budgets, operations, and user experiences. But an area of AI that is receiving increasing attention is ethics. As people and companies become more dependent on the use of algorithms to make and support decisions, the inherent biases of software developers and the data pools they depend on to build their models have come under close scrutiny. Machine learning, task automation and robotics are already widely used in business. These and other AI technologies are about to multiply, and we look at how organizations can best take advantage of them.
