Microsoft to teach Artificial Intelligence to students of Madhya Pradesh schools

#artificialintelligence

In the new era of technology Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the next big thing. Keeping this in mind, at least 53 schools in Madhya Pradesh will teach students of classes 8 and 9 Artificial Intelligence (AI) from this academic session (2021-22). The Madhya Pradesh State Board of Open School Education is set to launch the study of emerging technology artificial intelligence (AI) as separate subjects in the school curriculum. For this, global tech giant Microsoft has been hired to teach the students and also train state teachers to enhance their understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Around 1,500 teachers and over 40,000 students will be benefitted from this project.


Co-Correcting: Noise-tolerant Medical Image Classification via mutual Label Correction

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

With the development of deep learning, medical image classification has been significantly improved. However, deep learning requires massive data with labels. While labeling the samples by human experts is expensive and time-consuming, collecting labels from crowd-sourcing suffers from the noises which may degenerate the accuracy of classifiers. Therefore, approaches that can effectively handle label noises are highly desired. Unfortunately, recent progress on handling label noise in deep learning has gone largely unnoticed by the medical image. To fill the gap, this paper proposes a noise-tolerant medical image classification framework named Co-Correcting, which significantly improves classification accuracy and obtains more accurate labels through dual-network mutual learning, label probability estimation, and curriculum label correcting. On two representative medical image datasets and the MNIST dataset, we test six latest Learning-with-Noisy-Labels methods and conduct comparative studies. The experiments show that Co-Correcting achieves the best accuracy and generalization under different noise ratios in various tasks.

Dynamic Modeling of Hand-Object Interactions via Tactile Sensing

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Tactile sensing is critical for humans to perform everyday tasks. While significant progress has been made in analyzing object grasping from vision, it remains unclear how we can utilize tactile sensing to reason about and model the dynamics of hand-object interactions. In this work, we employ a high-resolution tactile glove to perform four different interactive activities on a diversified set of objects. We build our model on a cross-modal learning framework and generate the labels using a visual processing pipeline to supervise the tactile model, which can then be used on its own during the test time. The tactile model aims to predict the 3d locations of both the hand and the object purely from the touch data by combining a predictive model and a contrastive learning module. This framework can reason about the interaction patterns from the tactile data, hallucinate the changes in the environment, estimate the uncertainty of the prediction, and generalize to unseen objects. We also provide detailed ablation studies regarding different system designs as well as visualizations of the predicted trajectories. This work takes a step on dynamics modeling in hand-object interactions from dense tactile sensing, which opens the door for future applications in activity learning, human-computer interactions, and imitation learning for robotics.


Learning Opinion Summarizers by Selecting Informative Reviews

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Opinion summarization has been traditionally approached with unsupervised, weakly-supervised and few-shot learning techniques. In this work, we collect a large dataset of summaries paired with user reviews for over 31,000 products, enabling supervised training. However, the number of reviews per product is large (320 on average), making summarization - and especially training a summarizer - impractical. Moreover, the content of many reviews is not reflected in the human-written summaries, and, thus, the summarizer trained on random review subsets hallucinates. In order to deal with both of these challenges, we formulate the task as jointly learning to select informative subsets of reviews and summarizing the opinions expressed in these subsets. The choice of the review subset is treated as a latent variable, predicted by a small and simple selector. The subset is then fed into a more powerful summarizer. For joint training, we use amortized variational inference and policy gradient methods. Our experiments demonstrate the importance of selecting informative reviews resulting in improved quality of summaries and reduced hallucinations.


Video2Skill: Adapting Events in Demonstration Videos to Skills in an Environment using Cyclic MDP Homomorphisms

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Humans excel at learning long-horizon tasks from demonstrations augmented with textual commentary, as evidenced by the burgeoning popularity of tutorial videos online. Intuitively, this capability can be separated into 2 distinct subtasks - first, dividing a long-horizon demonstration sequence into semantically meaningful events; second, adapting such events into meaningful behaviors in one's own environment. Here, we present Video2Skill (V2S), which attempts to extend this capability to artificial agents by allowing a robot arm to learn from human cooking videos. We first use sequence-to-sequence Auto-Encoder style architectures to learn a temporal latent space for events in long-horizon demonstrations. We then transfer these representations to the robotic target domain, using a small amount of offline and unrelated interaction data (sequences of state-action pairs of the robot arm controlled by an expert) to adapt these events into actionable representations, i.e., skills. Through experiments, we demonstrate that our approach results in self-supervised analogy learning, where the agent learns to draw analogies between motions in human demonstration data and behaviors in the robotic environment. We also demonstrate the efficacy of our approach on model learning - demonstrating how Video2Skill utilizes prior knowledge from human demonstration to outperform traditional model learning of long-horizon dynamics. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of our approach for non-tabula rasa decision-making, i.e, utilizing video demonstration for zero-shot skill generation.
