Evaluating the Effectiveness of Margin Parameter when Learning Knowledge Embedding Representation for Domain-specific Multi-relational Categorized Data

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Learning knowledge representation is an increasingly important technology that supports a variety of machine learning related applications. However, the choice of hyperparameters is seldom justified and usually relies on exhaustive search. Understanding the effect of hyperparameter combinations on embedding quality is crucial to avoid the inefficient process and enhance practicality of vector representation methods. We evaluate the effects of distinct values for the margin parameter focused on translational embedding representation models for multi-relational categorized data. We assess the margin influence regarding the quality of embedding models by contrasting traditional link prediction task accuracy against a classification task. The findings provide evidence that lower values of margin are not rigorous enough to help with the learning process, whereas larger values produce much noise pushing the entities beyond to the surface of the hyperspace, thus requiring constant regularization. Finally, the correlation between link prediction and classification accuracy shows traditional validation protocol for embedding models is a weak metric to represent the quality of embedding representation.


Newest Nvidia AV SoC boasts '7x Xavier Performance'

#artificialintelligence

At the company's GPU Technology Conference (GTC) in Suzhou, China, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang took to the stage to introduce Drive AGX Orin, the next generation SoC in the company's automotive portfolio. Orin follows Drive AGX Xavier, launched just under 2 years ago at CES 2018. Xavier is Nvidia's current flagship SoC for AI acceleration in vehicles. Orin, at 17 billion transistors, is almost double the size of Xavier, which had 9 billion, and it offers nearly 7x the performance (200 TOPS for INT8 data). Despite its size, Orin also offers 3x the power efficiency of Xavier, the company said.

Optimizing Collision Avoidance in Dense Airspace using Deep Reinforcement Learning

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

New methodologies will be needed to ensure the airspace remains safe and efficient as traffic densities rise to accommodate new unmanned operations. This paper explores how unmanned free-flight traffic may operate in dense airspace. We develop and analyze autonomous collision avoidance systems for aircraft operating in dense airspace where traditional collision avoidance systems fail. We propose a metric for quantifying the decision burden on a collision avoidance system as well as a metric for measuring the impact of the collision avoidance system on airspace. We use deep reinforcement learning to compute corrections for an existing collision avoidance approach to account for dense airspace. The results show that a corrected collision avoidance system can operate more efficiently than traditional methods in dense airspace while maintaining high levels of safety.


Dynamic Prediction of ICU Mortality Risk Using Domain Adaptation

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Early recognition of risky trajectories during an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) stay is one of the key steps towards improving patient survival. Learning trajectories from physiological signals continuously measured during an ICU stay requires learning time-series features that are robust and discriminative across diverse patient populations. Patients within different ICU populations (referred here as domains) vary by age, conditions and interventions. Thus, mortality prediction models using patient data from a particular ICU population may perform suboptimally in other populations because the features used to train such models have different distributions across the groups. In this paper, we explore domain adaptation strategies in order to learn mortality prediction models that extract and transfer complex temporal features from multivariate time-series ICU data. Features are extracted in a way that the state of the patient in a certain time depends on the previous state. This enables dynamic predictions and creates a mortality risk space that describes the risk of a patient at a particular time. Experiments based on cross-ICU populations reveals that our model outperforms all considered baselines. Gains in terms of AUC range from 4% to 8% for early predictions when compared with a recent state-of-the-art representative for ICU mortality prediction. In particular, models for the Cardiac ICU population achieve AUC numbers as high as 0.88, showing excellent clinical utility for early mortality prediction. Finally, we present an explanation of factors contributing to the possible ICU outcomes, so that our models can be used to complement clinical reasoning.


A Survey on Distributed Machine Learning

arXiv.org Machine Learning

The demand for artificial intelligence has grown significantly over the last decade and this growth has been fueled by advances in machine learning techniques and the ability to leverage hardware acceleration. However, in order to increase the quality of predictions and render machine learning solutions feasible for more complex applications, a substantial amount of training data is required. Although small machine learning models can be trained with modest amounts of data, the input for training larger models such as neural networks grows exponentially with the number of parameters. Since the demand for processing training data has outpaced the increase in computation power of computing machinery, there is a need for distributing the machine learning workload across multiple machines, and turning the centralized into a distributed system. These distributed systems present new challenges, first and foremost the efficient parallelization of the training process and the creation of a coherent model. This article provides an extensive overview of the current state-of-the-art in the field by outlining the challenges and opportunities of distributed machine learning over conventional (centralized) machine learning, discussing the techniques used for distributed machine learning, and providing an overview of the systems that are available.


Strategic Abstention based on Preference Extensions: Positive Results and Computer-Generated Impossibilities

Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research

Voting rules allow multiple agents to aggregate their preferences in order to reach joint decisions. A common flaw of some voting rules, known as the no-show paradox, is that agents may obtain a more preferred outcome by abstaining from an election. We study strategic abstention for set-valued voting rules based on Kelly's and Fishburn's preference extensions. Our contribution is twofold. First, we show that, whenever there are at least five alternatives and seven agents, every Pareto-optimal majoritarian voting rule suffers from the no-show paradox with respect to Fishburn's extension. This is achieved by reducing the statement to a finite - yet very large - problem, which is encoded as a formula in propositional logic and then shown to be unsatisfiable by a SAT solver. We also provide a human-readable proof which we extracted from a minimal unsatisfiable core of the formula. Secondly, we prove that every voting rule that satisfies two natural conditions cannot be manipulated by strategic abstention with respect to Kelly's extension and give examples of well-known Pareto-optimal majoritarian voting rules that meet these requirements.


Interactive Open-Ended Learning for 3D Object Recognition

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The thesis contributes in several important ways to the research area of 3D object category learning and recognition. To cope with the mentioned limitations, we look at human cognition, in particular at the fact that human beings learn to recognize object categories ceaselessly over time. This ability to refine knowledge from the set of accumulated experiences facilitates the adaptation to new environments. Inspired by this capability, we seek to create a cognitive object perception and perceptual learning architecture that can learn 3D object categories in an open-ended fashion. In this context, ``open-ended'' implies that the set of categories to be learned is not known in advance, and the training instances are extracted from actual experiences of a robot, and thus become gradually available, rather than being available since the beginning of the learning process. In particular, this architecture provides perception capabilities that will allow robots to incrementally learn object categories from the set of accumulated experiences and reason about how to perform complex tasks. This framework integrates detection, tracking, teaching, learning, and recognition of objects. An extensive set of systematic experiments, in multiple experimental settings, was carried out to thoroughly evaluate the described learning approaches. Experimental results show that the proposed system is able to interact with human users, learn new object categories over time, as well as perform complex tasks. The contributions presented in this thesis have been fully implemented and evaluated on different standard object and scene datasets and empirically evaluated on different robotic platforms.


PySS3: A Python package implementing a novel text classifier with visualization tools for Explainable AI

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

A recently introduced text classifier, called SS3, has obtained state-of-the-art performance on the CLEF's eRisk tasks. SS3 was created to deal with risk detection over text streams and therefore not only supports incremental training and classification but also can visually explain its rationale. However, little attention has been paid to the potential use of SS3 as a general classifier. We believe this could be due to the unavailability of an open-source implementation of SS3. In this work, we introduce PySS3, a package that not only implements SS3 but also comes with visualization tools that allow researchers deploying robust, explainable and trusty machine learning models for text classification.
