The Technological Emergence of AutoML: A Survey of Performant Software and Applications in the Context of Industry
Scriven, Alexander, Kedziora, David Jacob, Musial, Katarzyna, Gabrys, Bogdan
With most technical fields, there exists a delay between fundamental academic research and practical industrial uptake. Whilst some sciences have robust and well-established processes for commercialisation, such as the pharmaceutical practice of regimented drug trials, other fields face transitory periods in which fundamental academic advancements diffuse gradually into the space of commerce and industry. For the still relatively young field of Automated/Autonomous Machine Learning (AutoML/AutonoML), that transitory period is under way, spurred on by a burgeoning interest from broader society. Yet, to date, little research has been undertaken to assess the current state of this dissemination and its uptake. Thus, this review makes two primary contributions to knowledge around this topic. Firstly, it provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive survey of existing AutoML tools, both open-source and commercial. Secondly, it motivates and outlines a framework for assessing whether an AutoML solution designed for real-world application is 'performant'; this framework extends beyond the limitations of typical academic criteria, considering a variety of stakeholder needs and the human-computer interactions required to service them. Thus, additionally supported by an extensive assessment and comparison of academic and commercial case-studies, this review evaluates mainstream engagement with AutoML in the early 2020s, identifying obstacles and opportunities for accelerating future uptake.
Minimalist Data Wrangling with Python
Minimalist Data Wrangling with Python is envisaged as a student's first introduction to data science, providing a high-level overview as well as discussing key concepts in detail. We explore methods for cleaning data gathered from different sources, transforming, selecting, and extracting features, performing exploratory data analysis and dimensionality reduction, identifying naturally occurring data clusters, modelling patterns in data, comparing data between groups, and reporting the results. This textbook is a non-profit project. Its online and PDF versions are freely available at https://datawranglingpy.gagolewski.com/.
Hyperbolic Graph Representation Learning: A Tutorial
Zhou, Min, Yang, Menglin, Pan, Lujia, King, Irwin
Graph-structured data are widespread in real-world applications, such as social networks, recommender systems, knowledge graphs, chemical molecules etc. Despite the success of Euclidean space for graph-related learning tasks, its ability to model complex patterns is essentially constrained by its polynomially growing capacity. Recently, hyperbolic spaces have emerged as a promising alternative for processing graph data with tree-like structure or power-law distribution, owing to the exponential growth property. Different from Euclidean space, which expands polynomially, the hyperbolic space grows exponentially which makes it gains natural advantages in abstracting tree-like or scale-free graphs with hierarchical organizations. In this tutorial, we aim to give an introduction to this emerging field of graph representation learning with the express purpose of being accessible to all audiences. We first give a brief introduction to graph representation learning as well as some preliminary Riemannian and hyperbolic geometry. We then comprehensively revisit the hyperbolic embedding techniques, including hyperbolic shallow models and hyperbolic neural networks. In addition, we introduce the technical details of the current hyperbolic graph neural networks by unifying them into a general framework and summarizing the variants of each component. Moreover, we further introduce a series of related applications in a variety of fields. In the last part, we discuss several advanced topics about hyperbolic geometry for graph representation learning, which potentially serve as guidelines for further flourishing the non-Euclidean graph learning community.
Cold Start Streaming Learning for Deep Networks
Wolfe, Cameron R., Kyrillidis, Anastasios
The ability to dynamically adapt neural networks to newly-available data without performance deterioration would revolutionize deep learning applications. Streaming learning (i.e., learning from one data example at a time) has the potential to enable such real-time adaptation, but current approaches i) freeze a majority of network parameters during streaming and ii) are dependent upon offline, base initialization procedures over large subsets of data, which damages performance and limits applicability. To mitigate these shortcomings, we propose Cold Start Streaming Learning (CSSL), a simple, end-to-end approach for streaming learning with deep networks that uses a combination of replay and data augmentation to avoid catastrophic forgetting. Because CSSL updates all model parameters during streaming, the algorithm is capable of beginning streaming from a random initialization, making base initialization optional. Going further, the algorithm's simplicity allows theoretical convergence guarantees to be derived using analysis of the Neural Tangent Random Feature (NTRF). In experiments, we find that CSSL outperforms existing baselines for streaming learning in experiments on CIFAR100, ImageNet, and Core50 datasets. Additionally, we propose a novel multi-task streaming learning setting and show that CSSL performs favorably in this domain. Put simply, CSSL performs well and demonstrates that the complicated, multi-step training pipelines adopted by most streaming methodologies can be replaced with a simple, end-to-end learning approach without sacrificing performance.

Pretraining in Deep Reinforcement Learning: A Survey
Xie, Zhihui, Lin, Zichuan, Li, Junyou, Li, Shuai, Ye, Deheng
The past few years have seen rapid progress in combining reinforcement learning (RL) with deep learning. Various breakthroughs ranging from games to robotics have spurred the interest in designing sophisticated RL algorithms and systems. However, the prevailing workflow in RL is to learn tabula rasa, which may incur computational inefficiency. This precludes continuous deployment of RL algorithms and potentially excludes researchers without large-scale computing resources. In many other areas of machine learning, the pretraining paradigm has shown to be effective in acquiring transferable knowledge, which can be utilized for a variety of downstream tasks. Recently, we saw a surge of interest in Pretraining for Deep RL with promising results. However, much of the research has been based on different experimental settings. Due to the nature of RL, pretraining in this field is faced with unique challenges and hence requires new design principles. In this survey, we seek to systematically review existing works in pretraining for deep reinforcement learning, provide a taxonomy of these methods, discuss each sub-field, and bring attention to open problems and future directions.
ML Pipelines on Google Cloud
In this course, you will be learning from ML Engineers and Trainers who work with the state-of-the-art development of ML pipelines here at Google Cloud. The first few modules will cover about TensorFlow Extended (or TFX), which is Google's production machine learning platform based on TensorFlow for management of ML pipelines and metadata. You will learn about pipeline components and pipeline orchestration with TFX. You will also learn how you can automate your pipeline through continuous integration and continuous deployment, and how to manage ML metadata. Then we will change focus to discuss how we can automate and reuse ML pipelines across multiple ML frameworks such as tensorflow, pytorch, scikit learn, and xgboost.
The rise of the machines: What your data is being used for
Join us on November 9 to learn how to successfully innovate and achieve efficiency by upskilling and scaling citizen developers at the Low-Code/No-Code Summit. All of these are films where machines become sentient and attempt to take over the world (or at least kill all humans). It's a popular plot line because it speaks to our deep-seated fears about technology. Will our devices and the data they collect be used against us as we move toward Web3? In recent years, we've seen increasing evidence that our data is being used in ways we never intended or anticipated.
