Performance, Opaqueness, Consequences, and Assumptions: Simple questions for responsible planning of machine learning solutions

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The data revolution has generated a huge demand for data-driven solutions. This demand propels a growing number of easy-to-use tools and training for aspiring data scientists that enable the rapid building of predictive models. Today, weapons of math destruction can be easily built and deployed without detailed planning and validation. This rapidly extends the list of AI failures, i.e. deployments that lead to financial losses or even violate democratic values such as equality, freedom and justice. The lack of planning, rules and standards around the model development leads to the ,,anarchisation of AI". This problem is reported under different names such as validation debt, reproducibility crisis, and lack of explainability. Post-mortem analysis of AI failures often reveals mistakes made in the early phase of model development or data acquisition. Thus, instead of curing the consequences of deploying harmful models, we shall prevent them as early as possible by putting more attention to the initial planning stage. In this paper, we propose a quick and simple framework to support planning of AI solutions. The POCA framework is based on four pillars: Performance, Opaqueness, Consequences, and Assumptions. It helps to set the expectations and plan the constraints for the AI solution before any model is built and any data is collected. With the help of the POCA method, preliminary requirements can be defined for the model-building process, so that costly model misspecification errors can be identified as soon as possible or even avoided. AI researchers, product owners and business analysts can use this framework in the initial stages of building AI solutions.


MentorGNN: Deriving Curriculum for Pre-Training GNNs

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Graph pre-training strategies have been attracting a surge of attention in the graph mining community, due to their flexibility in parameterizing graph neural networks (GNNs) without any label information. The key idea lies in encoding valuable information into the backbone GNNs, by predicting the masked graph signals extracted from the input graphs. In order to balance the importance of diverse graph signals (e.g., nodes, edges, subgraphs), the existing approaches are mostly hand-engineered by introducing hyperparameters to re-weight the importance of graph signals. However, human interventions with sub-optimal hyperparameters often inject additional bias and deteriorate the generalization performance in the downstream applications. This paper addresses these limitations from a new perspective, i.e., deriving curriculum for pre-training GNNs. We propose an end-to-end model named MentorGNN that aims to supervise the pre-training process of GNNs across graphs with diverse structures and disparate feature spaces. To comprehend heterogeneous graph signals at different granularities, we propose a curriculum learning paradigm that automatically re-weighs graph signals in order to ensure a good generalization in the target domain. Moreover, we shed new light on the problem of domain adaption on relational data (i.e., graphs) by deriving a natural and interpretable upper bound on the generalization error of the pre-trained GNNs. Extensive experiments on a wealth of real graphs validate and verify the performance of MentorGNN.


ASE: Anomaly Scoring Based Ensemble Learning for Imbalanced Datasets

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Nowadays, many classification algorithms have been applied to various industries to help them work out their problems met in real-life scenarios. However, in many binary classification tasks, samples in the minority class only make up a small part of all instances, which leads to the datasets we get usually suffer from high imbalance ratio. Existing models sometimes treat minority classes as noise or ignore them as outliers encountering data skewing. In order to solve this problem, we propose a bagging ensemble learning framework $ASE$ (Anomaly Scoring Based Ensemble Learning). This framework has a scoring system based on anomaly detection algorithms which can guide the resampling strategy by divided samples in the majority class into subspaces. Then specific number of instances will be under-sampled from each subspace to construct subsets by combining with the minority class. And we calculate the weights of base classifiers trained by the subsets according to the classification result of the anomaly detection model and the statistics of the subspaces. Experiments have been conducted which show that our ensemble learning model can dramatically improve the performance of base classifiers and is more efficient than other existing methods under a wide range of imbalance ratio, data scale and data dimension. $ASE$ can be combined with various classifiers and every part of our framework has been proved to be reasonable and necessary.

The AI Chatbot Handbook โ€“ How to Build an AI Chatbot with Redis, Python, and GPT

#artificialintelligence

In order to build a working full-stack application, there are so many moving parts to think about. And you'll need to make many decisions that will be critical to the success of your app. For example, what language will you use and what platform will you deploy on? Are you going to deploy a containerised software on a server, or make use of serverless functions to handle the backend? Do you plan to use third-party APIs to handle complex parts of your application, like authentication or payments? Where do you store the data? In addition to all this, you'll also need to think about the user interface, design and usability of your application, and much more. This is why complex large applications require a multifunctional development team collaborating to build the app. One of the best ways to learn how to develop full stack applications is to build projects that cover the end-to-end development process. You'll go through designing the architecture, developing the API services, developing the user interface, and finally deploying your application. So this tutorial will take you through the process of building an AI chatbot to help you learn these concepts in depth. Important Note: This is an intermediate full stack software development project that requires some basic Python and JavaScript knowledge. I've carefully divided the project into sections to ensure that you can easily select the phase that is important to you in case you do not wish to code the full application.


Create and run ML pipelines - Azure Machine Learning

#artificialintelligence

In this article, you learn how to create and run machine learning pipelines by using the Azure Machine Learning SDK. Use ML pipelines to create a workflow that stitches together various ML phases. Then, publish that pipeline for later access or sharing with others. Track ML pipelines to see how your model is performing in the real world and to detect data drift. ML pipelines are ideal for batch scoring scenarios, using various computes, reusing steps instead of rerunning them, and sharing ML workflows with others. For guidance on creating your first pipeline, see Tutorial: Build an Azure Machine Learning pipeline for batch scoring or Use automated ML in an Azure Machine Learning pipeline in Python.


Looking For A Match: Self-supervised Clustering For Automatic Doubt Matching In e-learning Platforms

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Recently, e-learning platforms have grown as a place where students can post doubts (as a snap taken with smart phones) and get them resolved in minutes. However, the significant increase in the number of student-posted doubts with high variance in quality on these platforms not only presents challenges for teachers' navigation to address them but also increases the resolution time per doubt. Both are not acceptable, as high doubt resolution time hinders the students learning progress. This necessitates ways to automatically identify if there exists a similar doubt in repository and then serve it to the teacher as the plausible solution to validate and communicate with the student. Supervised learning techniques (like Siamese architecture) require labels to identify the matches, which is not feasible as labels are scarce and expensive. In this work, we, thus, developed a label-agnostic doubt matching paradigm based on the representations learnt via self-supervised technique. Building on prior theoretical insights of BYOL (bootstrap your own latent space), we propose custom BYOL which combines domain-specific augmentation with contrastive objective over a varied set of appropriately constructed data views. Results highlighted that, custom BYOL improves the top-1 matching accuracy by approximately 6\% and 5\% as compared to both BYOL and supervised learning instances, respectively. We further show that both BYOL-based learning instances performs either on par or better than human labeling.
