AI has a big data problem. Here's how to fix it 7wData

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence has, quite literally, got a big data problem – and one that the COVID-19 crisis has now made impossible to ignore any longer. For businesses, governments, and individuals alike, the global pandemic has effectively redefined "normal" life; but while most of us have now adjusted to the change, the same cannot be said of AI systems, which base their predictions on what the past used to look like. Speaking at the CogX 2020 conference, British mathematician David Barber said: "The deployment of AI systems is currently clunky. Typically, you go out there, collect your data set, label it, train the system and then deploy it. And that's it – you don't revisit the deployed system. But that's not good if the environment is changing."

Jake is a Senior Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research, New York. The talk is at 15.00 UTC this Wednesday, June 17; to see it in your local time zone please go to the registration page.


Why Data Preparation Is So Important in Machine Learning

#artificialintelligence

On a predictive modeling project, machine learning algorithms learn a mapping from input variables to a target variable. The most common form of predictive modeling project involves so-called structured data or tabular data. This is data as it looks in a spreadsheet or a matrix, with rows of examples and columns of features for each example. We cannot fit and evaluate machine learning algorithms on raw data; instead, we must transform the data to meet the requirements of individual machine learning algorithms. More than that, we must choose a representation for the data that best exposes the unknown underlying structure of the prediction problem to the learning algorithms in order to get the best performance given our available resources on a predictive modeling project. Given that we have standard implementations of highly parameterized machine learning algorithms in open source libraries, fitting models has become routine.

Machine Learning using Galaxy a webinar / workshop series

#artificialintelligence

This workshop intends to facilitate the training and discourse amongst researchers interested in machine learning using Galaxy. It will be a one-week event, including webinar sessions in which we will introduce machine learning backgrounds and train researchers to use Galaxy for machine learning analysis. Every webinar session will be followed by a self-training day, in which experts will answer questions in a support channel and support on a peer-to-peer basis. The workshops will make use of the European Galaxy server and the Galaxy Training Material. Both will stay accessible and open after the training.

Quantitatively Assessing the Benefits of Model-driven Development in Agent-based Modeling and Simulation

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) paradigm has been used to analyze, reproduce, and predict phenomena related to many application areas. Although there are many agent-based platforms that support simulation development, they rely on programming languages that require extensive programming knowledge. Model-driven development (MDD) has been explored to facilitate simulation modeling, by means of high-level modeling languages that provide reusable building blocks that hide computational complexity, and code generation. However, there is still limited knowledge of how MDD approaches to ABMS contribute to increasing development productivity and quality. We thus in this paper present an empirical study that quantitatively compares the use of MDD and ABMS platforms mainly in terms of effort and developer mistakes. Our evaluation was performed using MDD4ABMS-an MDD approach with a core and extensions to two application areas, one of which developed for this study-and NetLogo, a widely used platform. The obtained results show that MDD4ABMS requires less effort to develop simulations with similar (sometimes better) design quality than NetLogo, giving evidence of the benefits that MDD can provide to ABMS.


A Survey of Machine Learning Methods and Challenges for Windows Malware Classification

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Malware classification is a difficult problem, to which machine learning methods have been applied for decades. Yet progress has often been slow, in part due to a number of unique difficulties with the task that occur through all stages of the developing a machine learning system: data collection, labeling, feature creation and selection, model selection, and evaluation. In this survey we will review a number of the current methods and challenges related to malware classification, including data collection, feature extraction, and model construction, and evaluation. Our discussion will include thoughts on the constraints that must be considered for machine learning based solutions in this domain, and yet to be tackled problems for which machine learning could also provide a solution. This survey aims to be useful both to cybersecurity practitioners who wish to learn more about how machine learning can be applied to the malware problem, and to give data scientists the necessary background into the challenges in this uniquely complicated space.
