Scaling Training of HuggingFace Transformers With Determined

#artificialintelligence

Training complex state-of-the-art natural language processing (NLP) models is now a breeze, thanks to HuggingFace -- making it an essential open-source go-to for data scientists and machine learning engineers to implement Transformers models and configure them as state-of-the-art NLP models with straightforward library calls. As a result, the library has become crucial for training NLP models, like in Baidu or Alibaba, and has contributed to state-of-the-art results in several NLP tasks. Our friends at Determined AI are hosting an exciting lunch-and-learn covering training HuggingFace Transformers at scale using Determined! Learn to train Transformers with distributed training, hyperparameter searches, and cheap spot instances -- all without modifying code. Please consider joining on Wednesday, June 30th at 10 AM PT for a hands-on tutorial from Liam Li, a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at Determined AI, and Angela Jiang, a Product Manager at Determined AI (lunch included!).


The Principles of Deep Learning Theory

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

This book develops an effective theory approach to understanding deep neural networks of practical relevance. Beginning from a first-principles component-level picture of networks, we explain how to determine an accurate description of the output of trained networks by solving layer-to-layer iteration equations and nonlinear learning dynamics. A main result is that the predictions of networks are described by nearly-Gaussian distributions, with the depth-to-width aspect ratio of the network controlling the deviations from the infinite-width Gaussian description. We explain how these effectively-deep networks learn nontrivial representations from training and more broadly analyze the mechanism of representation learning for nonlinear models. From a nearly-kernel-methods perspective, we find that the dependence of such models' predictions on the underlying learning algorithm can be expressed in a simple and universal way. To obtain these results, we develop the notion of representation group flow (RG flow) to characterize the propagation of signals through the network. By tuning networks to criticality, we give a practical solution to the exploding and vanishing gradient problem. We further explain how RG flow leads to near-universal behavior and lets us categorize networks built from different activation functions into universality classes. Altogether, we show that the depth-to-width ratio governs the effective model complexity of the ensemble of trained networks. By using information-theoretic techniques, we estimate the optimal aspect ratio at which we expect the network to be practically most useful and show how residual connections can be used to push this scale to arbitrary depths. With these tools, we can learn in detail about the inductive bias of architectures, hyperparameters, and optimizers.

AI in Employee Training Can Help with Predicted Post-Pandemic Turnover - AI Trends

#artificialintelligence

Dramatic employee turnover is being predicted in the post-pandemic era, at the same time that AI is being incorporated into more learning and development solutions, giving employers an opportunity to establish a competitive differentiation. An employee turnover "tsunami" is predicted by results from a survey of 2,000 adults in February conducted by The Work Institute, a research and consulting firm in Franklin, Tenn., according to an account from SHRM, the Society of Human Resource Management. The survey found that half of employees in North America plan to look for a new job in 2021. "We see absolutely pent-up turnover demand in the U.S. workforce," stated Danny Nelms, president of The Work Institute, which is focused on employee engagement and retention. Prior to the pandemic, the firm would see about 3.5 million people leaving their jobs monthly.


Learn to think like a genius with Brilliant

Engadget

A so-called active approach to learning helps individuals develop new skills and sharpen their intuition by placing a higher value on interactivity, visual problem-solving, the freedom to fail and goal-setting than do other approaches to learning. So, although people incorporate active learning into their lives for different reasons, such as to advance in an academic or professional career, the underlying reason anyone becomes an active learner in the first place is to learn how to think. And everyone can do that with the help of Brilliant. Brilliant is an online platform that helps people become sharper thinkers with the help of interactive learning materials. Unlike many lecture videos, Brilliant offers anyone 10 years and older the opportunity to learn through fun and challenging interactive explorations.
