A Review of Recent Advances of Binary Neural Networks for Edge Computing
Zhao, Wenyu, Ma, Teli, Gong, Xuan, Zhang, Baochang, Doermann, David
Abstract--Edge computing is promising to become one of the next hottest topics in artificial intelligence because it benefits various evolving domains such as real-time unmanned aerial systems, industrial applications, and the demand for privacy protection. This paper reviews recent advances on binary neural network (BNN) and 1-bit CNN technologies that are well suitable for front-end, edge-based computing. We introduce and summarize existing work and classify them based on gradient approximation, quantization, architecture, loss functions, optimization method, and binary neural architecture search. We also introduce applications in the areas of computer vision and speech recognition and discuss future applications for edge computing. ITH the rapid development of information technology, cloud computing with centralized data processing cannot the performance of binary neural networks. To better review meet the needs of applications that require the processing these methods, we six aspects including gradient approximation, of massive amounts of data, nor can they be effectively used quantization, structural design, loss design, optimization, when privacy requires the data to remain at the source. Finally, we will also edge computing has become an alternative to handle the data review object detection, object tracking, and audio analysis from front-end or embedded devices.
An analysis of Reinforcement Learning applied to Coach task in IEEE Very Small Size Soccer
Pena, Carlos H. C., Machado, Mateus G., Barros, Mariana S., Silva, Josรฉ D. P., Maciel, Lucas D., Ren, Tsang Ing, Barros, Edna N. S., Braga, Pedro H. M., Bassani, Hansenclever F.
The IEEE Very Small Size Soccer (VSSS) is a robot soccer competition in which two teams of three small robots play against each other. Traditionally, a deterministic coach agent will choose the most suitable strategy and formation for each adversary's strategy. Therefore, the role of a coach is of great importance to the game. In this sense, this paper proposes an end-to-end approach for the coaching task based on Reinforcement Learning (RL). The proposed system processes the information during the simulated matches to learn an optimal policy that chooses the current formation, depending on the opponent and game conditions. We trained two RL policies against three different teams (balanced, offensive, and heavily offensive) in a simulated environment. Our results were assessed against one of the top teams of the VSSS league, showing promising results after achieving a win/loss ratio of approximately 2.0.
How Machine Learning Works for Social Good - KDnuggets
Just as businesses tap the value of machine learning, so too can charitable and non-profit organizations. There are a wide variety of ways people are applying machine learning for social good. Predict Align Prevent applies machine learning to identify children at risk for maltreatment. In the U.S., between 1,500 and 3,000 infants and children die due to abuse and neglect each year. Children aged 0-3 years are at the greatest risk. Those most vulnerable are commonly not visible to the professionals.
LaHAR: Latent Human Activity Recognition using LDA
Boukhers, Zeyd, Wete, Danniene, Staab, Steffen
Processing sequential multi-sensor data becomes important in many tasks due to the dramatic increase in the availability of sensors that can acquire sequential data over time. Human Activity Recognition (HAR) is one of the fields which are actively benefiting from this availability. Unlike most of the approaches addressing HAR by considering predefined activity classes, this paper proposes a novel approach to discover the latent HAR patterns in sequential data. To this end, we employed Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), which is initially a topic modelling approach used in text analysis. To make the data suitable for LDA, we extract the so-called "sensory words" from the sequential data. We carried out experiments on a challenging HAR dataset, demonstrating that LDA is capable of uncovering underlying structures in sequential data, which provide a human-understandable representation of the data. The extrinsic evaluations reveal that LDA is capable of accurately clustering HAR data sequences compared to the labelled activities.
Inspecting state of the art performance and NLP metrics in image-based medical report generation
Pino, Pablo, Parra, Denis, Messina, Pablo, Besa, Cecilia, Uribe, Sergio
Several deep learning architectures have been proposed over the last years to deal with the problem of generating a written report given an imaging exam as input. Most works evaluate the generated reports using standard Natural Language Processing (NLP) metrics (e.g. BLEU, ROUGE), reporting significant progress. In this article, we contrast this progress by comparing state of the art (SOTA) models against weak baselines. We show that simple and even naive approaches yield near SOTA performance on most traditional NLP metrics. We conclude that evaluation methods in this task should be further studied towards correctly measuring clinical accuracy, ideally involving physicians to contribute to this end.
