6 Steps to Improve Banking CX Through Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence and machine learning promise nothing short of a customer experience transformation in retail banking -- but the best ideas for their application could fail if projects are not built on firm foundations of clean, accurate and complete data around customers and their behaviors and financial needs. The focus on customer experience among today's retail banks and credit unions should hardly be surprising. With financial services becoming even more commoditized, institutions increasingly must battle for consumers' attention and wallet share against disruptive new market entrants as well as their traditional competitors. More than ever, financial institutions need to find some way to differentiate themselves. In customer experience terms, AI and machine learning can help marketers in retail banking to predict client needs and deepen relationships.

Improving the Sample and Communication Complexity for Decentralized Non-Convex Optimization: A Joint Gradient Estimation and Tracking Approach

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Many modern large-scale machine learning problems benefit from decentralized and stochastic optimization. Recent works have shown that utilizing both decentralized computing and local stochastic gradient estimates can outperform state-of-the-art centralized algorithms, in applications involving highly non-convex problems, such as training deep neural networks. In this work, we propose a decentralized stochastic algorithm to deal with certain smooth non-convex problems where there are $m$ nodes in the system, and each node has a large number of samples (denoted as $n$). Differently from the majority of the existing decentralized learning algorithms for either stochastic or finite-sum problems, our focus is given to both reducing the total communication rounds among the nodes, while accessing the minimum number of local data samples. In particular, we propose an algorithm named D-GET (decentralized gradient estimation and tracking), which jointly performs decentralized gradient estimation (which estimates the local gradient using a subset of local samples) and gradient tracking (which tracks the global full gradient using local estimates). We show that, to achieve certain $\epsilon$ stationary solution of the deterministic finite sum problem, the proposed algorithm achieves an $\mathcal{O}(mn^{1/2}\epsilon^{-1})$ sample complexity and an $\mathcal{O}(\epsilon^{-1})$ communication complexity. These bounds significantly improve upon the best existing bounds of $\mathcal{O}(mn\epsilon^{-1})$ and $\mathcal{O}(\epsilon^{-1})$, respectively. Similarly, for online problems, the proposed method achieves an $\mathcal{O}(m \epsilon^{-3/2})$ sample complexity and an $\mathcal{O}(\epsilon^{-1})$ communication complexity, while the best existing bounds are $\mathcal{O}(m\epsilon^{-2})$ and $\mathcal{O}(\epsilon^{-2})$, respectively.


Distributed Machine Learning on VMware vSphere with GPUs and Kubernetes: a Webinar - Virtualize Applications

#artificialintelligence

This article directs you to a recent webinar that VMware produced on the topic of executing distributed machine learning with TensorFlow and Horovod running on a set of VMs on multiple vSphere host servers. Many machine learning problems are tackled using a single host server today (with a collection of VMs on that host). However, when your ML model or data grows too large for one host to handle, or your GPU power happens to be dispersed across several physical host servers/VMs, then distribution is the mechanism used to tackle that scenario. The VMware webinar introduces the concepts of machine learning in general first. It then gives a short description of Horovod for distributed training and explains the importance of low latency networking between the nodes in the distributed model, based here on Mellanox RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) technology.



Top 10 Courses and Certifications in Artificial Intelligence Analytics Insight

#artificialintelligence

A fundamental establishment in the standards and practices around artificial intelligence (AI), automation and cognitive systems is something which is probably going to turn out to be progressively important, paying little heed to your field of business, skill or profession. There are so many courses and certifications for individuals who need to jump straight into coding their own artificial neural networks, and naturally, accept a specific degree of technical ability. Others are valuable for the individuals who need to figure out how this innovation can be applied by anybody, paying little mind to prior technical expertise, to tackling real-world issues. Let's look at some of the best AI courses and certifications which can help in improving your knowledge and skills in the field of artificial intelligence. If learning Machine Learning is at the forefront of your thoughts, at that point there is no looking further.
