Getting started with TensorFlow 2

#artificialintelligence

Welcome to this course on Getting started with TensorFlow 2! In this course you will learn a complete end-to-end workflow for developing deep learning models with Tensorflow, from building, training, evaluating and predicting with models using the Sequential API, validating your models and including regularisation, implementing callbacks, and saving and loading models. You will put concepts that you learn about into practice straight away in practical, hands-on coding tutorials, which you will be guided through by a graduate teaching assistant. In addition there is a series of automatically graded programming assignments for you to consolidate your skills. At the end of the course, you will bring many of the concepts together in a Capstone Project, where you will develop an image classifier deep learning model from scratch. Tensorflow is an open source machine library, and is one of the most widely used frameworks for deep learning.


Teaching AI to All Students

#artificialintelligence

In the past two years, the amount of artificial intelligence being used in our everyday lives has increased significantly. As a result, there is a greater demand for people who have the skills to work in this field, and it will continue to lead to the creation of many more jobs according to the Jobs of Tomorrow report. Areas such as artificial intelligence, data analytics, cloud computing, and cybersecurity are some of those mentioned in the report as likely to see an increase in demand for skilled workers which means that we need to do more to prepare our students for these careers and others that will evolve over time. There are big trends for this year about how AI will impact the world of work and the skills needed. It has been predicted that artificial intelligence will automate the production of 30% of all the content available on the Internet this year.


Automated Reinforcement Learning (AutoRL): A Survey and Open Problems

Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research

The combination of Reinforcement Learning (RL) with deep learning has led to a series of impressive feats, with many believing (deep) RL provides a path towards generally capable agents. However, the success of RL agents is often highly sensitive to design choices in the training process, which may require tedious and error-prone manual tuning. This makes it challenging to use RL for new problems and also limits its full potential. In many other areas of machine learning, AutoML has shown that it is possible to automate such design choices, and AutoML has also yielded promising initial results when applied to RL. However, Automated Reinforcement Learning (AutoRL) involves not only standard applications of AutoML but also includes additional challenges unique to RL, that naturally produce a different set of methods. As such, AutoRL has been emerging as an important area of research in RL, providing promise in a variety of applications from RNA design to playing games, such as Go. Given the diversity of methods and environments considered in RL, much of the research has been conducted in distinct subfields, ranging from meta-learning to evolution. In this survey, we seek to unify the field of AutoRL, provide a common taxonomy, discuss each area in detail and pose open problems of interest to researchers going forward.


Adversarial synthesis based data-augmentation for code-switched spoken language identification

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Spoken Language Identification (LID) is an important sub-task of Automatic Speech Recognition(ASR) that is used to classify the language(s) in an audio segment. Automatic LID plays an useful role in multilingual countries. In various countries, identifying a language becomes hard, due to the multilingual scenario where two or more than two languages are mixed together during conversation. Such phenomenon of speech is called as code-mixing or code-switching. This nature is followed not only in India but also in many Asian countries. Such code-mixed data is hard to find, which further reduces the capabilities of the spoken LID. Hence, this work primarily addresses this problem using data augmentation as a solution on the on the data scarcity of the code-switched class. This study focuses on Indic language code-mixed with English. Spoken LID is performed on Hindi, code-mixed with English. This research proposes Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) based data augmentation technique performed using Mel spectrograms for audio data. GANs have already been proven to be accurate in representing the real data distribution in the image domain. Proposed research exploits these capabilities of GANs in speech domains such as speech classification, automatic speech recognition, etc. GANs are trained to generate Mel spectrograms of the minority code-mixed class which are then used to augment data for the classifier. Utilizing GANs give an overall improvement on Unweighted Average Recall by an amount of 3.5% as compared to a Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network (CRNN) classifier used as the baseline reference.


[2022] Machine Learning and Deep Learning Bootcamp in Python

#artificialintelligence

This course is about the fundamental concepts of machine learning, focusing on regression, SVM, decision trees and neural networks. These topics are getting very hot nowadays because these learning algorithms can be used in several fields from software engineering to investment banking. Learning algorithms can recognize patterns which can help detect cancer for example or we may construct algorithms that can have a very good guess about stock prices movement in the market. In each section we will talk about the theoretical background for all of these algorithms then we are going to implement these problems together. We will use Python with SkLearn, Keras and TensorFlow.

Failure Detection in Medical Image Classification: A Reality Check and Benchmarking Testbed

#artificialintelligence

In safety-critical applications such as clinical decision making, it is important to implement safeguards preventing the use of incorrect predictions from computational models (Band et al., 2021; Challen et al., 2019). These safeguards rely on failure detection methods, which aim to automatically flag suspicious model predictions. For clinical deployment, reliable failure detection is critical for patient safety, enabling automatic referral to human experts (Kompa et al., 2021). As depicted in Figure 1, failure detection frameworks are typically divided in two stages: (i) confidence scoring (to quantify the likelihood of the prediction to be correct); (ii) a thresholding-step (to reject/refer samples with a low confidence score) (Corbiรจre et al., 2019; Jiang et al., 2018; Band et al., 2021) We propose a new benchmark for evaluating in-domain failure detection in medical imaging classification models. Our experiments show that improved reliability against out-of-distribution inputs or model calibration does not necessarily translate to improved in-domain failure detection.

I had a farm in real life, so why can't I get my head round these grow-your-own video games?

The Guardian

Some men buy a Harley-Davidson when they reach their midlife crisis. I bought a farm in Nova Scotia. It devoured our savings and we ran out of money after a year. But that year was the happiest of my life. Thirteen years later, with stress kicking my arse daily, I want to go back to that life, but I now have only a tiny city garden. When Farming Simulator 22 turned up on Xbox Game Pass, I felt favoured by the gaming-dad fates.
