How AI Can Help Developing Countries -- AI Daily - Artificial Intelligence News
The economic opportunities arising from the introduction of artificial intelligence are enormous, and there are a number of opportunities that developing countries can currently exploit. Access to the Internet, especially to mobile devices, has greatly increased in recent years, and this is one of the key factors that gives the impression that developing worlds riding on the technological advances of the introduction of artificial intelligence are great. Artificial intelligence creates huge opportunities for developing countries in terms of economic growth and job creation. This is an opportunity for developing countries to capitalise on this progress and use the latest technology and user-friendly solutions to improve people's quality of life and create new economic opportunities. By discussing and exchanging these ideas, this symposium aims to stimulate the development of a more established, broader field of research and development in the field of artificial intelligence.
GPT-3 Creative Fiction
What if I told a story here, how would that story start?" Thus, the summarization prompt: "My second grader asked me what this passage means: …" When a given prompt isn't working and GPT-3 keeps pivoting into other modes of completion, that may mean that one hasn't constrained it enough by imitating a correct output, and one needs to go further; writing the first few words or sentence of the target output may be necessary.
Bounded Fuzzy Possibilistic Method of Critical Objects Processing in Machine Learning
Unsatisfying accuracy of learning methods is mostly caused by omitting the influence of important parameters such as membership assignments, type of data objects, and distance or similarity functions. The proposed method, called Bounded Fuzzy Possibilistic Method (BFPM) addresses different issues that previous clustering or classification methods have not sufficiently considered in their membership assignments. In fuzzy methods, the object's memberships should sum to 1. Hence, any data object may obtain full membership in at most one cluster or class. Possibilistic methods relax this condition, but the method can be satisfied with the results even if just an arbitrary object obtains the membership from just one cluster, which prevents the objects' movement analysis. Whereas, BFPM differs from previous fuzzy and possibilistic approaches by removing these restrictions. Furthermore, BFPM provides the flexible search space for objects' movement analysis. Data objects are also considered as fundamental keys in learning methods, and knowing the exact type of objects results in providing a suitable environment for learning algorithms. The Thesis introduces a new type of object, called critical, as well as categorizing data objects into two different categories: structural-based and behavioural-based. Critical objects are considered as causes of miss-classification and miss-assignment in learning procedures. The Thesis also proposes new methodologies to study the behaviour of critical objects with the aim of evaluating objects' movements (mutation) from one cluster or class to another. The Thesis also introduces a new type of feature, called dominant, that is considered as one of the causes of miss-classification and miss-assignments. Then the Thesis proposes new sets of similarity functions, called Weighted Feature Distance (WFD) and Prioritized Weighted Feature Distance (PWFD).
Efficient Generation of Structured Objects with Constrained Adversarial Networks
Di Liello, Luca, Ardino, Pierfrancesco, Gobbi, Jacopo, Morettin, Paolo, Teso, Stefano, Passerini, Andrea
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) struggle to generate structured objects like molecules and game maps. The issue is that structured objects must satisfy hard requirements (e.g., molecules must be chemically valid) that are difficult to acquire from examples alone. As a remedy, we propose Constrained Adversarial Networks (CANs), an extension of GANs in which the constraints are embedded into the model during training. This is achieved by penalizing the generator proportionally to the mass it allocates to invalid structures. In contrast to other generative models, CANs support efficient inference of valid structures (with high probability) and allows to turn on and off the learned constraints at inference time. CANs handle arbitrary logical constraints and leverage knowledge compilation techniques to efficiently evaluate the disagreement between the model and the constraints. Our setup is further extended to hybrid logical-neural constraints for capturing very complex constraints, like graph reachability. An extensive empirical analysis shows that CANs efficiently generate valid structures that are both high-quality and novel.
Deep CHORES: Estimating Hallmark Measures of Physical Activity Using Deep Learning
Mardini, Mamoun T., Wanigatunga, Subhash Nerella Amal A., Saldana, Santiago, Casanova, Ramon, Manini, Todd M.
Wrist accelerometers for assessing hallmark measures of physical activity (PA) are rapidly growing with the advent of smartwatch technology. Given the growing popularity of wrist-worn accelerometers, there needs to be a rigorous evaluation for recognizing (PA) type and estimating energy expenditure (EE) across the lifespan. Participants (66% women, aged 20-89 yrs) performed a battery of 33 daily activities in a standardized laboratory setting while a tri-axial accelerometer collected data from the right wrist. A portable metabolic unit was worn to measure metabolic intensity. We built deep learning networks to extract spatial and temporal representations from the time-series data, and used them to recognize PA type and estimate EE. The deep learning models resulted in high performance; the F1 score was: 0.82, 0.81, and 95 for recognizing sedentary, locomotor, and lifestyle activities, respectively. The root mean square error was 1.1 (+/-0.13) for the estimation of EE.
When Deafness Is Not Considered a Deficit
Music rattled the windows of the one-room schoolhouse that was now serving as a dance floor for nearly the entire village, a population of about 100 people. Masato, a masticated yuca drink, was passed around the room. I tried to refuse it as it came to me -- I had already shared an entire pot and was feeling woozy from both the alcohol and my full stomach. But this was a celebration and another bowl was pressed into my hands. The party was the last night of my first field trip to the Amazon in 2012.
Artificial Intelligence and forest management
This article is co-written together with Syed Nazmus Sadat who Studies Forestry and Environmental Science at Shahjalal University of Science & Technology, Sylhet in Bangladesh. How can artificial intelligence help in efforts to prevent deforestation? Deforestation has an incredibly adverse impact on planet earth. The forests cover close to a third of the land area on our planet and provide us with purer air and fresher water. Eighty percent of the world's land based wildlife live in forests [1].

Automated Database Indexing using Model-free Reinforcement Learning
Licks, Gabriel Paludo, Meneguzzi, Felipe
Configuring databases for efficient querying is a complex task, often carried out by a database administrator. Solving the problem of building indexes that truly optimize database access requires a substantial amount of database and domain knowledge, the lack of which often results in wasted space and memory for irrelevant indexes, possibly jeopardizing database performance for querying and certainly degrading performance for updating. We develop an architecture to solve the problem of automatically indexing a database by using reinforcement learning to optimize queries by indexing data throughout the lifetime of a database. In our experimental evaluation, our architecture shows superior performance compared to related work on reinforcement learning and genetic algorithms, maintaining near-optimal index configurations and efficiently scaling to large databases.
