Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning are used to power a variety of important modern software technologies. AI also powers the facial recognition software commonly used by law enforcement, landlords, and private citizens. Of all the uses for AI-powered software, facial recognition is a big deal. Security teams from large buildings that rely on video surveillance – like schools and airports – can benefit greatly from this technology. An AI algorithm has the potential to detect a known criminal or an unauthorized person on the property.

The South Korean Go champion Lee Se-dol has retired from professional play, telling Yonhap news agency that his decision was motivated by the ascendancy of AI. "With the debut of AI in Go games, I've realized that I'm not at the top even if I become the number one through frantic efforts," Lee told Yonhap. "Even if I become the number one, there is an entity that cannot be defeated." For years, Go was considered beyond the reach of even the most sophisticated computer programs. The ancient board game is famously complex, with more possible configurations for pieces than atoms in the observable universe. This reputation took a knock in 2016 when the Google-owned artificial intelligence company DeepMind shocked the world by defeating Se-dol four matches to one with its AlphaGo AI system.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant global cause of mortality and morbidity with an increasing incidence, especially in low-and-middle income countries. The most severe TBIs are treated in intensive care units (ICU), but in spite of the proper and high-quality care, about one in three patients dies. Patients that suffer from severe TBI are unconscious, which makes it challenging to accurately monitor the condition of the patient during intensive care. In the ICU, many tens of variables are continuously monitored (e.g. However, only one variable, such as intracranial pressure, may yield hundreds of thousands of data points per day.

Fueled by mobster movies and international espionage thrillers, the phrase has a mysterious, exciting edge to it. But as is often the case, the truth is far less appealing than the glitzy Hollywood version. In reality, money laundering is an activity that traps 40.3 million people in modern slavery, fuels political unrest, and finances terrorism across the globe. Considering the consequences, it's no wonder governments enact AML regulations. And just as money laundering crime grows more sophisticated, so too do the regulations. These regulations have honorable and important intentions, but there's no denying the ever-evolving compliance headaches they create for financial institutions.

Canada has been investing in machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) for longer than most of the industrialized world. Dr. Geoff Hinton of Google helped ignite the field of graphics processing unit (GPU) deep learning at the University of Toronto. Then he became chief scientific advisor to the Vector Institute, which in collaboration with the University, aims to produce the largest number of deep learning AI graduates and innovators globally. It's the home of computer scientist Yoshua Bengio, who is another pioneer of AI technology. Hundreds of AI researchers and doctoral students are concentrated at McGill University and the University of Montreal.

Scientists from the Case Western Reserve University digital imaging lab, already pioneering the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to predict whether chemotherapy will be successful, can now determine which lung-cancer patients will benefit from expensive immunotherapy. And, once again, they're doing it by teaching a computer to find previously unseen changes in patterns in CT scans taken when the lung cancer is first diagnosed compared to scans taken after the first 2-3 cycles of immunotherapy treatment. And, as with previous work, those changes have been discovered both inside -- and outside -- the tumor, a signature of the lab's recent research. "This is no flash in the pan -- this research really seems to be reflecting something about the very biology of the disease, about which is the more aggressive phenotype, and that's information oncologists do not currently have," said Anant Madabhushi, whose Center for Computational Imaging and Personalized Diagnostics (CCIPD) has become a global leader in the detection, diagnosis and characterization of various cancers and other diseases by meshing medical imaging, machine learning and AI. Currently, only about 20% of all cancer patients will actually benefit from immunotherapy, a treatment that differs from chemotherapy in that it uses drugs to help your immune system fight cancer, while chemotherapy uses drugs to directly kill cancer cells, according to the National Cancer Institute.

Neural networks with redundant representation: detecting the undetectable Elena Agliari, 1, Francesco Alemanno, 2, 3 Adriano Barra, 2, 4 Martino Centonze, 2 and Alberto Fachechi 2, 4 1 Dipartimento di Matematica "Guido Castelnuovo", Sapienza Università di Roma, Roma, Italy 2 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica "Ennio De Giorgi", Università del Salento, Lecce, Italy 3 C.N.R. Nanotec, Lecce, Italy 4 Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Sezione di Lecce, Italy (Dated: December 2, 2019) We consider a three-layer Sejnowski machine and show that features learnt via contrastive divergence have a dual representation as patterns in a dense associative memory of order P 4 . The latter is known to be able to Hebbian-store an amount of patterns scaling as N P 1, where N denotes the number of constituting binary neurons interacting P -wisely. We also prove that, by keeping the dense associative network far from the saturation regime (namely, allowing for a number of patterns scaling only linearly with N, while P 2) such a system is able to perform pattern recognition far below the standard signal-to-noise threshold. In particular, a network with P 4 is able to retrieve information whose intensity is O (1) even in the presence of a noise O ( N) in the large N limit. This striking skill stems from a redundancy representation of patterns - which is afforded given the (relatively) low-load information storage - and it contributes to explain the impressive abilities in pattern recognition exhibited by new-generation neural networks. The whole theory is developed rigorously, at the replica symmetric level of approximation, and corroborated by signal-to-noise analysis and Monte Carlo simulations. Artificial intelligence is nearly everywhere in today's society and has rapidly changed the face of economy, communication and science.

We propose a new type of variational autoencoder to perform improved pre-processing for clustering and anomaly detection on data with a given label. Anomalies however are not known or labeled. We call our method conditional latent space variational autonencoder since it separates the latent space by conditioning on information within the data. The method fits one prior distribution to each class in the dataset, effectively expanding the prior distribution to include a Gaussian mixture model. Our approach is compared against the capabilities of a typical variational autoencoder by measuring their V-score during cluster formation with respect to the k-means and EM algorithms. For anomaly detection, we use a new metric composed of the mass-volume and excess-mass curves which can work in an unsupervised setting. We compare the results between established methods such as as isolation forest, local outlier factor and one-class support vector machine.
