A survey of Identification and mitigation of Machine Learning algorithmic biases in Image Analysis

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The ubiquity of Machine Learning (ML) models, and more specifically deep neural network (NN) models, in all sorts of applications has become undeniable in recent years. From classifying images [1, 2, 3], detecting objects [4, 1] and performing semantic segmentation [5, 4] to translating from one human language to another [6] and doing sentiment analysis [7], the advances in different subfields of ML can be attributed mostly to the explosion of computing power and their ability to speed up the training process of artificial NNs. Most famously, AlexNet [8] allowed for an impressive jump in performance in the challenging ILSVRC2012 image classification dataset [1], also known as ImageNet, permanently cementing deep convolutional NN (CNN) architectures in the field of computer vision. Since then, architectures have gotten more refined [9, 10], training procedures have gotten increasingly more complex [11], and their performance and robustness have greatly improved as a consequence. Namely, the success of these deep CNN models is related to their ability to treat high-dimensional and complex data such as images or natural language. The impressive performance of NNs for machine learning tasks can be explained by the ability of their flexible architecture to capture meaningful information on various kinds of complex data and the fact that they are potentially composed of millions of parameters. However, this poses a major challenge: deciphering the reasoning behind the model's predictions. For instance, typical NN architectures for classification or regression problems incrementally transform the representation of the input data in the so-called latent space (or feature space) and then use this transformed representation to make their predictions, as summarized in Figure 1. Each step of this incremental data processing pipeline (or feature extraction chain) is carried out by a so-called layer, which is mathematically a non-linear function (blue rectangle in Figure 1).


Top 10 leaders innovating in the AI space

#artificialintelligence

When we think about artificial intelligence (AI), humans are rarely what springs to mind. And understandably so, as AI is all about machine intelligence and automation. AI has become an essential business tool, so we often commend the pioneering work of AI companies to support businesses as they digitally evolve. To shed a light on the importance of people in the creation of intelligent machines, we take a look at the best-in-class executives in the AI field who continue to push the technology – and its boundaries – forward. With a passion for AI, Andrej Karpathy is interested in training deep neural nets on large datasets.


GA Tech, Facebook partner to engage Black, Latino students in AI education - University-Industry Engagement Week - Tech Transfer Central

#artificialintelligence

A detailed article on the Georgia Tech and Facebook partnership aimed at building diversity in the AI field appears in the January issue of University-Industry Engagement Advisor. In the initial steps of a program of collaboration with U.S. universities "that serve significant populations of Black and Latino students," Facebook has partnered with Georgia Tech to develop, co-teach, and fund graduate-level online deep learning courses. The program will be expanded in 2021 to include additional institutions. The collaboration at Georgia Tech came about through discussions between Facebook and the university's Machine Learning Center and the School of Interactive Computing, says Zsolt Kira, PhD, associate director of the Machine Learning Center at Georgia Tech and an assistant professor in the School of Interactive Computing. This is not the first collaboration between the two partners, says Paco Guzmán, research scientist manager at Facebook and a lecturer for Facebook's Co-teaching AI Program.

Improved Universal Sentence Embeddings with Prompt-based Contrastive Learning and Energy-based Learning

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Contrastive learning has been demonstrated to be effective in enhancing pre-trained language models (PLMs) to derive superior universal sentence embeddings. However, existing contrastive methods still have two limitations. Firstly, previous works may acquire poor performance under domain shift settings, thus hindering the application of sentence representations in practice. We attribute this low performance to the over-parameterization of PLMs with millions of parameters. To alleviate it, we propose PromCSE (Prompt-based Contrastive Learning for Sentence Embeddings), which only trains small-scale \emph{Soft Prompt} (i.e., a set of trainable vectors) while keeping PLMs fixed. Secondly, the commonly used NT-Xent loss function of contrastive learning does not fully exploit hard negatives in supervised learning settings. To this end, we propose to integrate an Energy-based Hinge loss to enhance the pairwise discriminative power, inspired by the connection between the NT-Xent loss and the Energy-based Learning paradigm. Empirical results on seven standard semantic textual similarity (STS) tasks and a domain-shifted STS task both show the effectiveness of our method compared with the current state-of-the-art sentence embedding models.

Educators put traditional spin on video games

#artificialintelligence

The Manitoba First Nation School System is encouraging teachers to leverage students' love for video games and educate them about traditional teachings via e-sports clubs and classes. Over the last decade, a growing number of school leaders both on and off-reserve have started using online applications such as Minecraft. By forcing e-learning into the mainstream, COVID-19 has made unconventional educational tools even more popular. Not only are video games an engaging way to teach collaboration and digital literacy, said Karl Hildebrandt, but the education technology facilitator at MFNSS said they pair well with foundational Anishinaabe principles on conducting oneself towards others. Video games are an engaging way to teach collaboration and digital literacy.
