Workers place more trust in robots and AI than their managers according to the second annual AI at Work study conducted by Oracle and Future Workplace. To compile the study, the two firms surveyed 8,370 employees, managers and HR leaders across 10 countries to find that AI has changed the relationship between people and technology in the workplace and is reshaping the role HR teams and managers need to play when it comes to attracting, retaining and developing talent. In contrast to common fears that AI and robots will take workers jobs, the AI at Work study found that employees, managers and HR leaders across the globe are reporting increased adoption of AI in the workplace and many are welcoming the emerging technology with enthusiasm. AI is becoming more prominent in workplaces with 50 percent of workers currently using some form of AI at work compared to only 32 percent last year. Workers in China (77%) and India (78%) have adopted AI over two times more than those in France (32%) and Japan (29%).

The first food product invented by an artificial intelligence (AI) system can already be obtained in Argentina. And with this specific meal, AI shows that it can already revolutionize a productive item that, until now, was conservative: the food industry. Dictating an email to the smartphone, driverless cars or combat drones that choose a target and fire without a commander's order are already common. The novelty is that, in laboratories and companies, computational techniques of Machine Learning and Big Data are already used to create new -and recreate old- foods using absolutely novel ingredients. For example, a Chilean startup has just presented in the local market a mayonnaise that has the same taste, smell, color and texture as the traditional one.

The results of data mining endeavors are majorly driven by data quality. Throughout these deployments, serious show-stopper problems are still unresolved, such as: data collection ambiguities, data imbalance, hidden biases in data, the lack of domain information, and data incompleteness. This paper is based on the premise that context can aid in mitigating these issues. In a traditional data science lifecycle, context is not considered. Context-driven Data Science Lifecycle (C-DSL); the main contribution of this paper, is developed to address these challenges. Two case studies (using data-sets from sports events) are developed to test C-DSL. Results from both case studies are evaluated using common data mining metrics such as: coefficient of determination (R2 value) and confusion matrices. The work presented in this paper aims to re-define the lifecycle and introduce tangible improvements to its outcomes.

The usability and practicality of any machine learning (ML) applications are largely influenced by two critical but hard-to-attain factors: low latency and low cost. Unfortunately, achieving low latency and low cost is very challenging when ML depends on real-world data that are highly distributed and rapidly growing (e.g., data collected by mobile phones and video cameras all over the world). Such real-world data pose many challenges in communication and computation. For example, when training data are distributed across data centers that span multiple continents, communication among data centers can easily overwhelm the limited wide-area network bandwidth, leading to prohibitively high latency and high cost. In this dissertation, we demonstrate that the latency and cost of ML on highly-distributed and rapidly-growing data can be improved by one to two orders of magnitude by designing ML systems that exploit the characteristics of ML algorithms, ML model structures, and ML training/serving data. We support this thesis statement with three contributions. First, we design a system that provides both low-latency and low-cost ML serving (inferencing) over large-scale and continuously-growing datasets, such as videos. Second, we build a system that makes ML training over geo-distributed datasets as fast as training within a single data center. Third, we present a first detailed study and a system-level solution on a fundamental and largely overlooked problem: ML training over non-IID (i.e., not independent and identically distributed) data partitions (e.g., facial images collected by cameras varies according to the demographics of each camera's location).

Reinforcement learning, mathematically described by Markov Decision Problems, may be approached either through dynamic programming or policy search. Actor-critic algorithms combine the merits of both approaches by alternating between steps to estimate the value function and policy gradient updates. Due to the fact that the updates exhibit correlated noise and biased gradient updates, only the asymptotic behavior of actor-critic is known by connecting its behavior to dynamical systems. This work puts forth a new variant of actor-critic that employs Monte Carlo rollouts during the policy search updates, which results in controllable bias that depends on the number of critic evaluations. As a result, we are able to provide for the first time the convergence rate of actor-critic algorithms when the policy search step employs policy gradient, agnostic to the choice of policy evaluation technique. In particular, we establish conditions under which the sample complexity is comparable to stochastic gradient method for non-convex problems or slower as a result of the critic estimation error, which is the main complexity bottleneck. These results hold for in continuous state and action spaces with linear function approximation for the value function. We then specialize these conceptual results to the case where the critic is estimated by Temporal Difference, Gradient Temporal Difference, and Accelerated Gradient Temporal Difference. These learning rates are then corroborated on a navigation problem involving an obstacle, which suggests that learning more slowly may lead to improved limit points, providing insight into the interplay between optimization and generalization in reinforcement learning.

Space-filling designs such as scrambled-Hammersley, Latin Hypercube Sampling and Jittered Sampling have been proposed for fully parallel hyperparameter search, and were shown to be more effective than random or grid search. In this paper, we show that these designs only improve over random search by a constant factor. In contrast, we introduce a new approach based on reshaping the search distribution, which leads to substantial gains over random search, both theoretically and empirically. We propose two flavors of reshaping. First, when the distribution of the optimum is some known $P_0$, we propose Recentering, which uses as search distribution a modified version of $P_0$ tightened closer to the center of the domain, in a dimension-dependent and budget-dependent manner. Second, we show that in a wide range of experiments with $P_0$ unknown, using a proposed Cauchy transformation, which simultaneously has a heavier tail (for unbounded hyperparameters) and is closer to the boundaries (for bounded hyperparameters), leads to improved performances. Besides artificial experiments and simple real world tests on clustering or Salmon mappings, we check our proposed methods on expensive artificial intelligence tasks such as attend/infer/repeat, video next frame segmentation forecasting and progressive generative adversarial networks.

There used to be a time in the not-too-distant past when we feared the oncoming hordes of robots in the workplace. That time is no longer. People now have more trust in robots than their managers, according to the second annual AI at Work study conducted by Oracle and research firm Future Workplace. The study of 8,370 employees, managers and HR leaders across 10 countries, found that AI has changed the relationship between people and technology at work and is reshaping the role HR teams and managers need to play in attracting, retaining and developing talent. The latest advancements in machine learning and artificial intelligence are rapidly reaching mainstream, resulting in a massive shift in the way people across the world interact with technology and their teams, says Emily He, senior vice president, human capital management for Oracle's cloud business group.

The situation called for a new approach. They needed information services that would help them decide what varieties to plant, when they should sow and how they should manage their crops. A consortium formed with the government, Colombia's National Cereals and Legumes Federation (FENALCE), and big-data scientists at the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT). The researchers used big-data tools, based on the data farmers helped collect, and yields increased substantially. The study, published in September in Global Food Security, shows how machine learning of data from multiple sources can help make farming more efficient and productive even as the climate changes. "Today we can collect massive amounts of data, but you can't just bulk it, process it in a machine and make a decision," said Daniel Jimenez, a data scientist at CIAT and the study's lead author.
