Open-Source Computer Vision Projects (With Tutorials) - The Click Reader

#artificialintelligence

If you are a student or a professional looking for various open-source computer vision projects, then, this article is here to help you. The computer vision projects listed below are categorized in an experience-wise manner. All of these projects can be implemented using Python. Face and Eyes Detection is a project that takes in a video image frame as an input and outputs the location of the eyes and face (in x-y coordinates) in that image frame. The script is fairly easy to understand and uses Haar Cascades for detecting the face and the eyes if found in the image frame.


Tutorial on LSTMs: A Computational Perspective

#artificialintelligence

In recent times there has been a lot of interest in embedding deep learning models into hardware. Energy is of paramount importance when it comes to deep learning model deployment especially at the edge. There is a great blog post on why energy matters for [email protected] by Pete Warden on "Why the future of Machine Learning is Tiny". Energy optimizations for programs (or models) can only be done with a good understanding of the underlying computations. Over the last few years of working with deep learning folks -- hardware architects, micro-kernel coders, model developers, platform programmers, and interviewees (especially interviewees) I have discovered that people understand LSTMs from a qualitative perspective but not well from a quantitative position.


Computing Graph Neural Networks: A Survey from Algorithms to Accelerators

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have exploded onto the machine learning scene in recent years owing to their capability to model and learn from graph-structured data. Such an ability has strong implications in a wide variety of fields whose data is inherently relational, for which conventional neural networks do not perform well. Indeed, as recent reviews can attest, research in the area of GNNs has grown rapidly and has lead to the development of a variety of GNN algorithm variants as well as to the exploration of groundbreaking applications in chemistry, neurology, electronics, or communication networks, among others. At the current stage of research, however, the efficient processing of GNNs is still an open challenge for several reasons. Besides of their novelty, GNNs are hard to compute due to their dependence on the input graph, their combination of dense and very sparse operations, or the need to scale to huge graphs in some applications. In this context, this paper aims to make two main contributions. On the one hand, a review of the field of GNNs is presented from the perspective of computing. This includes a brief tutorial on the GNN fundamentals, an overview of the evolution of the field in the last decade, and a summary of operations carried out in the multiple phases of different GNN algorithm variants. On the other hand, an in-depth analysis of current software and hardware acceleration schemes is provided, from which a hardware-software, graph-aware, and communication-centric vision for GNN accelerators is distilled.


Uncertainty Reasoning for Probabilistic Petri Nets via Bayesian Networks

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

This paper exploits extended Bayesian networks for uncertainty reasoning on Petri nets, where firing of transitions is probabilistic. In particular, Bayesian networks are used as symbolic representations of probability distributions, modelling the observer's knowledge about the tokens in the net. The observer can study the net by monitoring successful and failed steps. An update mechanism for Bayesian nets is enabled by relaxing some of their restrictions, leading to modular Bayesian nets that can conveniently be represented and modified. As for every symbolic representation, the question is how to derive information - in this case marginal probability distributions - from a modular Bayesian net. We show how to do this by generalizing the known method of variable elimination. The approach is illustrated by examples about the spreading of diseases (SIR model) and information diffusion in social networks. We have implemented our approach and provide runtime results.

Practical Artificial Intelligence (AI) with H2O in Python

#artificialintelligence

Machine learning has finally come of age. With H2O software, you can perform machine learning and data analysis using a simple open source framework that's easy to use, has a wide range of OS and language support, and scales for big data. This hands-on guide teaches you how to use H20 with only minimal math and theory behind the learning algorithms. Hot & New What you'll learn This course covers the main aspects of the H2O package for data science in Python. If you take this course, you can do away with taking other courses or buying books on Python-based data science as you will have the keys to a very powerful Python supported data science framework.


Azure Machine Learning -- First Impressions

#artificialintelligence

For the last year and a half I have been using Watson Studio and DSX Local as my development environments for exploring machine learning and implementing models. Inspired by Siraj Raval's video on Azure Machine Learning I decided to take the plunge and check out Microsoft's ML environment. This posting covers my first impressions, the good and the bad, and contrasts Azure ML with Watson Studio / DSX. Getting a first taste of Azure ML from a standing start is relatively easy -- here's a quick overview of the preparatory steps: As Siraj notes in his video, Microsoft touts a hybrid (on prem cloud) approach. Before getting into the experience of using Azure ML, I'd like to contrast my experience of "hybrid" Microsoft vs. IBM: Full disclosure: I am an IBM employee, but I can see pros and cons to both approaches.

#artificialintelligence

Woodgrove Bank, who provides payment processing services for commerce, is looking to design and implement a proof-of-concept (PoC) of an innovative fraud detection solution. They want to provide new services to their merchant customers, helping them save costs by applying machine learning and advanced analytics to detect fraudulent transactions. Their customers are around the world, and the right solutions for them would minimize any latencies experienced using their service by distributing as much of the solution as possible, as closely as possible, to the regions in which their customers use the service. In this workshop, you will learn to design a data pipeline solution that leverages Cosmos DB for both the scalable ingest of streaming data, and the globally distributed serving of both pre-scored data and machine learning models. The solution leverages the Cosmos DB change data feed in concert with the Azure Databricks Delta to enable a modern data warehouse solution that can be used to create risk reduction solutions for scoring transactions for fraud in an offline, batch approach and in a near real-time, request/response approach.


Research and Education Towards Smart and Sustainable World

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

We propose a vision for directing research and education in the ICT field. Our Smart and Sustainable World vision targets at prosperity for the people and the planet through better awareness and control of both human-made and natural environment. The needs of the society, individuals, and industries are fulfilled with intelligent systems that sense their environment, make proactive decisions on actions advancing their goals, and perform the actions on the environment. We emphasize artificial intelligence, feedback loops, human acceptance and control, intelligent use of basic resources, performance parameters, mission-oriented interdisciplinary research, and a holistic systems view complementing the conventional analytical reductive view as a research paradigm especially for complex problems. To serve a broad audience, we explain these concepts and list the essential literature. We suggest planning research and education by specifying, in a step-wise manner, scenarios, performance criteria, system models, research problems and education content, resulting in common goals and a coherent project portfolio as well as education curricula. Research and education produce feedback to support evolutionary development and encourage creativity in research. Finally, we propose concrete actions for realizing this approach.
