How to Implement Multi-Head Attention From Scratch in TensorFlow and Keras

#artificialintelligence

We have already familiarised ourselves with the theory behind the Transformer model and its attention mechanism, and we have already started our journey of implementing a complete model by seeing how to implement the scaled-dot product attention. We shall now progress one step further into our journey by encapsulating the scaled-dot product attention into a multi-head attention mechanism, of which it is a core component. Our end goal remains the application of the complete model to Natural Language Processing (NLP). In this tutorial, you will discover how to implement multi-head attention from scratch in TensorFlow and Keras.

The Ultimate Beginners Guide to Fuzzy Logic in Python

#artificialintelligence

Understand the basic theory and implement fuzzy systems with skfuzzy library! Fuzzy Logic is a technique that can be used to model the human reasoning process in computers. It can be applied to several areas, such as: industrial automation, medicine, marketing, home automation, among others. A classic example is the use in industrial equipments, which can have the temperature automatically adjusted as the equipment heats up or cools down. Other examples of equipments are: vacuum cleaners (adjustment of suction power according to the surface and level of dirt), dishwashers and clothes washing machines (adjustment of the amount of water and soap to use), digital cameras (automatic focus setting), air conditioning (temperature setting according to the environment), and microwave (power adjustment according to the type of food).


Exponential Convergence of Deep Operator Networks for Elliptic Partial Differential Equations

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

We construct and analyze approximation rates of deep operator networks (ONets) between infinite-dimensional spaces that emulate with an exponential rate of convergence the coefficient-to-solution map of elliptic second-order partial differential equations. In particular, we consider problems set in $d$-dimensional periodic domains, $d=1, 2, \dots$, and with analytic right-hand sides and coefficients. Our analysis covers linear, elliptic second order divergence-form PDEs as, e.g., diffusion-reaction problems, parametric diffusion equations, and elliptic systems such as linear isotropic elastostatics in heterogeneous materials. We leverage the exponential convergence of spectral collocation methods for boundary value problems whose solutions are analytic. In the present periodic and analytic setting, this follows from classical elliptic regularity. Within the ONet branch and trunk construction of [Chen and Chen, 1993] and of [Lu et al., 2021], we show the existence of deep ONets which emulate the coefficient-to-solution map to a desired accuracy in the $H^1$ norm, uniformly over the coefficient set. We prove that the neural networks in the ONet have size $\mathcal{O}(\left|\log(\varepsilon)\right|^\kappa)$, where $\varepsilon>0$ is the approximation accuracy, for some $\kappa>0$ depending on the physical space dimension.


Schedule-Robust Online Continual Learning

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

A hallmark of natural intelligence is its ability to continually absorb new knowledge while retaining and updating existing one. Achieving this objective in machines is the goal of continual learning (CL). Ideally, CL algorithms learn online from a never-ending and non-stationary stream of data, without catastrophic forgetting (McCloskey and Cohen, 1989; Ratcliff, 1990; French, 1999). The non-stationarity of the data stream is modeled by some schedule that defines what data arrives and how its distribution evolves over time. Two family of schedules commonly investigated are task-based (De Lange et al., 2021) and task-free (Aljundi et al., 2019a). The task-based setting assumes that new data arrives one task at a time and data distribution is stationary for each task. Many CL algorithms (e.g., Buzzega et al., 2020; Kirkpatrick et al., 2017; Hou et al., 2019) thus train offline, with multiple passes and shuffles over task data. The task-free setting does not assume the existence of separate tasks but instead expects CL algorithms to learn online from streaming data, with evolving sample distribution (Caccia et al., 2022; Shanahan et al., 2021).


Learning Skills from Demonstrations: A Trend from Motion Primitives to Experience Abstraction

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The uses of robots are changing from static environments in factories to encompass novel concepts such as Human-Robot Collaboration in unstructured settings. Pre-programming all the functionalities for robots becomes impractical, and hence, robots need to learn how to react to new events autonomously, just like humans. However, humans, unlike machines, are naturally skilled in responding to unexpected circumstances based on either experiences or observations. Hence, embedding such anthropoid behaviours into robots entails the development of neuro-cognitive models that emulate motor skills under a robot learning paradigm. Effective encoding of these skills is bound to the proper choice of tools and techniques. This paper studies different motion and behaviour learning methods ranging from Movement Primitives (MP) to Experience Abstraction (EA), applied to different robotic tasks. These methods are scrutinized and then experimentally benchmarked by reconstructing a standard pick-n-place task. Apart from providing a standard guideline for the selection of strategies and algorithms, this paper aims to draw a perspectives on their possible extensions and improvements

#artificialintelligence

I'm happy to share that I've obtained a new certification: AWS Machine Learning Foundations from Udacity! One of the things I found interesting about this course is my recent exposure to and hands-on experience with generative AI. Generative AI gives the ability to create new 3d cad designs, and generate new data, algorithms, etc. from a pre-trained model. In the coming days, I will be exploring Generative AI in the design of robot components. Special appreciation to AWS amazon and Udacity for the privilege to participate in this program.
