Bayesian Restoration of Audio Degraded by Low-Frequency Pulses Modeled via Gaussian Process

arXiv.org Machine Learning

A common defect found when reproducing old vinyl and gramophone recordings with mechanical devices are the long pulses with significant low-frequency content caused by the interaction of the arm-needle system with deep scratches or even breakages on the media surface. Previous approaches to their suppression on digital counterparts of the recordings depend on a prior estimation of the pulse location, usually performed via heuristic methods. This paper proposes a novel Bayesian approach capable of jointly estimating the pulse location; interpolating the almost annihilated signal underlying the strong discontinuity that initiates the pulse; and also estimating the long pulse tail by a simple Gaussian Process, allowing its suppression from the corrupted signal. The posterior distribution for the model parameters as well for the pulse is explored via Markov-Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms. Controlled experiments indicate that the proposed method, while requiring significantly less user intervention, achieves perceptual results similar to those of previous approaches and performs well when dealing with naturally degraded signals.


Explainable Recommendations via Attentive Multi-Persona Collaborative Filtering

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Two main challenges in recommender systems are modeling users with heterogeneous taste, and providing explainable recommendations. In this paper, we propose the neural Attentive Multi-Persona Collaborative Filtering (AMP-CF) model as a unified solution for both problems. AMP-CF breaks down the user to several latent 'personas' (profiles) that identify and discern the different tastes and inclinations of the user. Then, the revealed personas are used to generate and explain the final recommendation list for the user. AMP-CF models users as an attentive mixture of personas, enabling a dynamic user representation that changes based on the item under consideration. We demonstrate AMP-CF on five collaborative filtering datasets from the domains of movies, music, video games and social networks. As an additional contribution, we propose a novel evaluation scheme for comparing the different items in a recommendation list based on the distance from the underlying distribution of "tastes" in the user's historical items. Experimental results show that AMP-CF is competitive with other state-of-the-art models. Finally, we provide qualitative results to showcase the ability of AMP-CF to explain its recommendations.


A Multi-Agent System for Solving the Dynamic Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem with Stochastic Customers using Trajectory Data Mining

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The worldwide growth of e-commerce has created new challenges for logistics companies, one of which is being able to deliver products quickly and at low cost, which reflects directly in the way of sorting packages, needing to eliminate steps such as storage and batch creation. Our work presents a multi-agent system that uses trajectory data mining techniques to extract territorial patterns and use them in the dynamic creation of last-mile routes. The problem can be modeled as a Dynamic Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) with Stochastic Customer, being therefore NP-HARD, what makes its implementation unfeasible for many packages. The work's main contribution is to solve this problem only depending on the Warehouse system configurations and not on the number of packages processed, which is appropriate for Big Data scenarios commonly present in the delivery of e-commerce products. Computational experiments were conducted for single and multi depot instances. Due to its probabilistic nature, the proposed approach presented slightly lower performances when compared to the static VRP algorithm. However, the operational gains that our solution provides making it very attractive for situations in which the routes must be set dynamically.


How 'Microsoft Flight Simulator' became a 'living game' with Azure AI

Engadget

Microsoft Flight Simulator is a triumph, one that fully captures the meditative experience of soaring through the clouds. But to bring the game to life, Microsoft and developer Asobo Studio needed more than an upgraded graphics engine to make its planes look more realistic. They needed a way to let you believably fly anywhere on the planet, with true-to-life topography and 3D models for almost everything you see, something that's especially difficult in dense cities. A task like that would be practically impossible to accomplish by hand. But it's the sort of large-scale data processing that Microsoft's Azure AI was built for.


EU challenges for an AI human-centric approach: lessons learnt from ECAI 2020

AIHub

During this period of progressive development and deployment of artificial intelligence, discussions around the ethical, legal, socio-economic and cultural implications of its use are increasing. What are the challenges and the strategy, and what are the values that Europe can bring to this domain? During the European Conference on AI (ECAI 2020), two special events in the format of panels discussed the challenges of AI made in the European Union, the shape of future research and industry, and the strategy to retain talent and compete with other world powers. This article collects some of the main messages from these two sessions, which included the participation of AI experts from leading European organisations and networks. Since the publication of European directives and guidance, such as the EC White Paper on AI and the Trustworthy AI Guidelines, Europe has been laying the foundation for the future vision of AI. The European strategy for AI builds on the well-known and accepted principles found in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Commission and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to define a human-centric approach, whose primary purpose is to enhance human capabilities and societal well-being.

Flight-connection Prediction for Airline Crew Scheduling to Construct Initial Clusters for OR Optimizer

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Airlines need to construct crew pairings to cover their flights. A pairing is a sequence of flights starting and finishing at a base and satisfying complex collective agreement constraints. For major airlines which handle more than 10k flights on a weekly basis, this becomes an important and difficult problem to solve. Efficient solutions are required since savings as low as 1% represent many dozens of millions saved every year. The complexity of the problem lies in the large number of possible pairings, and the selection of the set of pairings of minimal cost, which is a large integer programming problem impossible to solve with standard solvers (Elhallaoui et al., 2005; Kasirzadeh et al., 2017). In our review of related work, we address some advanced optimization techniques that reduce the number of variables and the number of constraints to solve it. The main drawback of these techniques, however, is that they require days to compute, while airlines are often given all the scheduling data only a few days before having to build the schedule. The objective of this paper is to use machine learning (ML) techniques to improve the algorithmic efficiency and solve this problem in a more feasible time horizon. Unfortunately, solving the problem with ML alone seems out of reach.


This is how AI could feed the world's hungry while sustaining the planet

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence is transforming the world at a rapid and accelerating pace, offering huge potential, but also posing social and economic challenges. Human beings are naturally fearful of machines – this is a constant. Technological advancements tend to outpace cultural shifts. It has taken the shock of a global pandemic to accelerate the uptake of many technologies that have been around for at least a decade. Unsurprisingly, much of the public discussion on AI has focused on recent controversies around facial recognition, automated decision-making and exam algorithms.
