ARC: Adversarially Robust Control Policies for Autonomous Vehicles

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Deep neural networks have demonstrated their capability to learn control policies for a variety of tasks. However, these neural network-based policies have been shown to be susceptible to exploitation by adversarial agents. Therefore, there is a need to develop techniques to learn control policies that are robust against adversaries. We introduce Adversarially Robust Control (ARC), which trains the protagonist policy and the adversarial policy end-to-end on the same loss. The aim of the protagonist is to maximise this loss, whilst the adversary is attempting to minimise it. We demonstrate the proposed ARC training in a highway driving scenario, where the protagonist controls the follower vehicle whilst the adversary controls the lead vehicle. By training the protagonist against an ensemble of adversaries, it learns a significantly more robust control policy, which generalises to a variety of adversarial strategies. The approach is shown to reduce the amount of collisions against new adversaries by up to 90.25%, compared to the original policy. Moreover, by utilising an auxiliary distillation loss, we show that the fine-tuned control policy shows no drop in performance across its original training distribution.


AIIMS Raipur organizes seminar on Artificial Intelligence in healthcare

#artificialintelligence

Raipur: The All India Institute of Medical Sciences Raipur in Chhattisgarh organized a ''Continuing Medical Education'' (CME) seminar on Artificial Intelligence in healthcare, with 625 delegates taking part, officials said on Sunday. The aim was to find out how AI-based technology could be accommodated in diagnostics and patient management while taking care of accountability, transparency and privacy issues. AIIMS Raipur president Professor George A D''Souza said AI was being used in diagnostics, surgery, patient management, drug discovery and administration as well as fields like dermatology, ophthalmology and radiology. "We have to address several issues and safeguard the interests of different stakeholders while using AI in healthcare. These include privacy, consent of the patient, interpretation of data, accountability and transparency," he said.


Autograd andBackpropagation in Pytorch

#artificialintelligence

Have you ever used the following three lines of code, or some variation of them, in your ML scripts and had no clue what their purpose was? If so, this article should aid in clearing up and simplifying the truth behind these three tremendously important lines of code. Before I dive into the explanation, I want to clarify some prerequisite knowledge that is necessary to understand the contents of this article. Firstly, a working understanding of backpropagation and gradient descent is highly suggested. And by highly suggested, I mean mandatory. I know that both these concepts are taboo for coders who just want to code, but there is a lot of merit in understanding what is going on behind the scenes of your ML scripts.


Gradient Descent With AdaGrad From Scratch

#artificialintelligence

Gradient descent is an optimization algorithm that follows the negative gradient of an objective function in order to locate the minimum of the function. A limitation of gradient descent is that it uses the same step size (learning rate) for each input variable. This can be a problem on objective functions that have different amounts of curvature in different dimensions, and in turn, may require a different sized step to a new point. Adaptive Gradients, or AdaGrad for short, is an extension of the gradient descent optimization algorithm that allows the step size in each dimension used by the optimization algorithm to be automatically adapted based on the gradients seen for the variable (partial derivatives) seen over the course of the search. In this tutorial, you will discover how to develop the gradient descent with adaptive gradients optimization algorithm from scratch.

How Data Scientists Can Troubleshoot ETL Issues Like a Data Engineer

#artificialintelligence

In the example ETL pipeline below, three data files are transformed, loaded into a staging table, and finally aggregated into a final table. A common issue for ETL failures is missing data files for the latest day's run. If the data comes from an external source, check with the provider and confirm if the files are running late. If the data is internal such as application events or the company website activity, confirm with the team responsible if there were issues that could've caused delayed or missing data. Once you get the missing data your ETL issue is resolved.
