Ayrton Senna, the three-time world champion from Brazil came out on top, followed by the seven-time champion, Michael Schumacher with a time differential of 0.114 second. Whereas current World Champion Lewis Hamilton featured at 3rd position with a relative time of 0.275 seconds.
ATM Cash demand forecasting in an Indian Bank with chaos and deep learning
Vangala, Sarveswararao, Vadlamani, Ravi
This paper proposes to model chaos in the ATM cash withdrawal time series of a big Indian bank and forecast the withdrawals using deep learning methods. It also considers the importance of day-of-the-week and includes it as a dummy exogenous variable. We first modelled the chaos present in the withdrawal time series by reconstructing the state space of each series using the lag, and embedding dimension found using an auto-correlation function and Cao's method. This process converts the uni-variate time series into multi variate time series. The "day-of-the-week" is converted into seven features with the help of one-hot encoding. Then these seven features are augmented to the multivariate time series. For forecasting the future cash withdrawals, using algorithms namely ARIMA, random forest (RF), support vector regressor (SVR), multi-layer perceptron (MLP), group method of data handling (GMDH), general regression neural network (GRNN), long short term memory neural network and 1-dimensional convolutional neural network. We considered a daily cash withdrawals data set from an Indian commercial bank. After modelling chaos and adding exogenous features to the data set, we observed improvements in the forecasting for all models. Even though the random forest (RF) yielded better Symmetric Mean Absolute Percentage Error (SMAPE) value, deep learning algorithms, namely LSTM and 1D CNN, showed similar performance compared to RF, based on t-test.
3D for Free: Crossmodal Transfer Learning using HD Maps
Wilson, Benjamin, Kira, Zsolt, Hays, James
3D object detection is a core perceptual challenge for robotics and autonomous driving. However, the class-taxonomies in modern autonomous driving datasets are significantly smaller than many influential 2D detection datasets. In this work, we address the long-tail problem by leveraging both the large class-taxonomies of modern 2D datasets and the robustness of state-of-the-art 2D detection methods. We proceed to mine a large, unlabeled dataset of images and LiDAR, and estimate 3D object bounding cuboids, seeded from an off-the-shelf 2D instance segmentation model. Critically, we constrain this ill-posed 2D-to-3D mapping by using high-definition maps and object size priors. The result of the mining process is 3D cuboids with varying confidence. This mining process is itself a 3D object detector, although not especially accurate when evaluated as such. However, we then train a 3D object detection model on these cuboids, consistent with other recent observations in the deep learning literature, we find that the resulting model is fairly robust to the noisy supervision that our mining process provides. We mine a collection of 1151 unlabeled, multimodal driving logs from an autonomous vehicle and use the discovered objects to train a LiDAR-based object detector. We show that detector performance increases as we mine more unlabeled data. With our full, unlabeled dataset, our method performs competitively with fully supervised methods, even exceeding the performance for certain object categories, without any human 3D annotations.
Towards Partial Order Reductions for Strategic Ability
Jamroga, Wojciech, Penczek, Wojciech, Sidoruk, Teofil, Dembiński, Piotr, Mazurkiewicz, Antoni
We propose a general semantics for strategic abilities of agents in asynchronous systems, with and without perfect information. Based on the semantics, we show some general complexity results for verification of strategic abilities in asynchronous interaction. More importantly, we develop a methodology for partial order reduction in verification of agents with imperfect information. We show that the reduction preserves an important subset of strategic properties, with as well as without the fairness assumption. We also demonstrate the effectiveness of the reduction on a number of benchmarks. Interestingly, the reduction does not work for strategic abilities under perfect information.
Model Generalization in Deep Learning Applications for Land Cover Mapping
Hu, Lucas, Robinson, Caleb, Dilkina, Bistra
Recent work has shown that deep learning models can be used to classify land-use data from geospatial satellite imagery. We show that when these deep learning models are trained on data from specific continents/seasons, there is a high degree of variability in model performance on out-of-sample continents/seasons. This suggests that just because a model accurately predicts land-use classes in one continent or season does not mean that the model will accurately predict land-use classes in a different continent or season. We then use clustering techniques on satellite imagery from different continents to visualize the differences in landscapes that make geospatial generalization particularly difficult, and summarize our takeaways for future satellite imagery-related applications.

China's AI tech leaves aside questions of ethics
Artificial intelligence, like other forms of technology, reflects the culture and values of the people who create it and those who provide the data frameworks upon which it is built. AI technology developed in different countries or organizations may thus offer different answers to the same problem. On June 25, the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, an independent U.S. government body, released, "The Role of AI Technology in Pandemic Response and Preparedness: Recommended Investments and Initiatives." The report makes 10 recommendations, including calls for the creation of a federal "Pandemic Preparedness Dataset" and investment in "the digital modernization of state and local health infrastructure required for effective disease surveillance." It was the commission's third report published since May 6 on AI and the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Learning Personalized Models of Human Behavior in Chess
McIlroy-Young, Reid, Wang, Russell, Sen, Siddhartha, Kleinberg, Jon, Anderson, Ashton
Even when machine learning systems surpass human ability in a domain, there are many reasons why AI systems that capture human-like behavior would be desirable: humans may want to learn from them, they may need to collaborate with them, or they may expect them to serve as partners in an extended interaction. Motivated by this goal of human-like AI systems, the problem of predicting human actions -- as opposed to predicting optimal actions -- has become an increasingly useful task. We extend this line of work by developing highly accurate personalized models of human behavior in the context of chess. Chess is a rich domain for exploring these questions, since it combines a set of appealing features: AI systems have achieved superhuman performance but still interact closely with human chess players both as opponents and preparation tools, and there is an enormous amount of recorded data on individual players. Starting with an open-source version of AlphaZero trained on a population of human players, we demonstrate that we can significantly improve prediction of a particular player's moves by applying a series of fine-tuning adjustments. The differences in prediction accuracy between our personalized models and unpersonalized models are at least as large as the differences between unpersonalized models and a simple baseline. Furthermore, we can accurately perform stylometry -- predicting who made a given set of actions -- indicating that our personalized models capture human decision-making at an individual level.
Towards Stable Imbalanced Data Classification via Virtual Big Data Projection
Mansourifar, Hadi, Shi, Weidong
Virtual Big Data (VBD) proved to be effective to alleviate mode collapse and vanishing generator gradient as two major problems of Generative Adversarial Neural Networks (GANs) very recently. In this paper, we investigate the capability of VBD to address two other major challenges in Machine Learning including deep autoencoder training and imbalanced data classification. First, we prove that, VBD can significantly decrease the validation loss of autoencoders via providing them a huge diversified training data which is the key to reach better generalization to minimize the over-fitting problem. Second, we use the VBD to propose the first projection-based method called cross-concatenation to balance the skewed class distributions without over-sampling. We prove that, cross-concatenation can solve uncertainty problem of data driven methods for imbalanced classification.
