How to Use One-vs-Rest and One-vs-One for Multi-Class Classification

#artificialintelligence

Not all classification predictive models support multi-class classification. Algorithms such as the Perceptron, Logistic Regression, and Support Vector Machines were designed for binary classification and do not natively support classification tasks with more than two classes. One approach for using binary classification algorithms for multi-classification problems is to split the multi-class classification dataset into multiple binary classification datasets and fit a binary classification model on each. Two different examples of this approach are the One-vs-Rest and One-vs-One strategies. In this tutorial, you will discover One-vs-Rest and One-vs-One strategies for multi-class classification.


Optimal Learning for Sequential Decisions in Laboratory Experimentation

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The process of discovery in the physical, biological and medical sciences can be painstakingly slow. Most experiments fail, and the time from initiation of research until a new advance reaches commercial production can span 20 years. This tutorial is aimed to provide experimental scientists with a foundation in the science of making decisions. Using numerical examples drawn from the experiences of the authors, the article describes the fundamental elements of any experimental learning problem. It emphasizes the important role of belief models, which include not only the best estimate of relationships provided by prior research, previous experiments and scientific expertise, but also the uncertainty in these relationships. We introduce the concept of a learning policy, and review the major categories of policies. We then introduce a policy, known as the knowledge gradient, that maximizes the value of information from each experiment. We bring out the importance of reducing uncertainty, and illustrate this process for different belief models.


TensorFlow 2.0 Tutorial for Deep Learning - Analytics Vidhya

#artificialintelligence

Just when I thought TensorFlow's market share would be eaten by the emergence (and rapid adoption) of PyTorch, Google has come roaring back. TensorFlow 2.0, recently released and open-sourced to the community, is a flexible and adaptable deep learning framework that has won back a lot of detractors. I love the ease with which even beginners can pick up TensorFlow 2.0 and start executing deep learning tasks. There are a plethora of offshoots that come with TensorFlow 2.0. You can read about them in this article that summarizes all the developments at the TensorFlow Dev Summit 2020.


AI & Machine Learning Learning Path: A Definitive Guide

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence is currently one of the hottest buzzwords in tech -- with good reason. In the last few years, we have seen several technologies previously in the realm of science fiction transform into reality. Experts look at artificial intelligence as a factor of production, that has the potential to introduce new sources of growth and change the way work is done across industries. In fact, AI technologies could increase labour productivity by 40% or more by 2035, according to a recent report by Accenture. This could double economic growth in 12 developed nations that continue to draw talented and experienced professionals to work in this field.


Mark Cuban: Here's how to give your kids 'an edge'

#artificialintelligence

The way to set your children up for success in this day and age is to ensure they learn about artificial intelligence, according to the billionaire tech entrepreneur Mark Cuban. "Give your kids an edge, have them sign up [and] learn the basics of Artificial Intelligence," Cuban tweeted on Monday. Cuban, who is a star on the hit ABC show "Shark Tank" and the owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA basketball team, was promoting a free, one-hour virtual class his foundation is teaching an introduction to artificial intelligence in collaboration with A.I. For Anyone, a nonprofit organization that aims to improve literacy of artificial understanding. "Parents, want your kids to learn about artificial intelligence while you're stuck in quarantine," Cuban says on his LinkedIn account.

At the Interface of Algebra and Statistics

arXiv.org Machine Learning

This thesis takes inspiration from quantum physics to investigate mathematical structure that lies at the interface of algebra and statistics. The starting point is a passage from classical probability theory to quantum probability theory. The quantum version of a probability distribution is a density operator, the quantum version of marginalizing is an operation called the partial trace, and the quantum version of a marginal probability distribution is a reduced density operator. Every joint probability distribution on a finite set can be modeled as a rank one density operator. By applying the partial trace, we obtain reduced density operators whose diagonals recover classical marginal probabilities. In general, these reduced densities will have rank higher than one, and their eigenvalues and eigenvectors will contain extra information that encodes subsystem interactions governed by statistics. We decode this information, and show it is akin to conditional probability, and then investigate the extent to which the eigenvectors capture "concepts" inherent in the original joint distribution. The theory is then illustrated with an experiment that exploits these ideas. Turning to a more theoretical application, we also discuss a preliminary framework for modeling entailment and concept hierarchy in natural language, namely, by representing expressions in the language as densities. Finally, initial inspiration for this thesis comes from formal concept analysis, which finds many striking parallels with the linear algebra. The parallels are not coincidental, and a common blueprint is found in category theory. We close with an exposition on free (co)completions and how the free-forgetful adjunctions in which they arise strongly suggest that in certain categorical contexts, the "fixed points" of a morphism with its adjoint encode interesting information.


Why you should NOT use MS MARCO to evaluate semantic search - KDnuggets

#artificialintelligence

MS MARCO is a collection of large scale datasets released by Microsoft with the intent of helping the advance of deep learning research related to search. It was our first choice when we decided to create a tutorial showing how to setup a text search application with Vespa. It was getting a lot of attention from the community, in great part due to the intense competition around leaderboards. Besides, being a large and challenging annotated corpus of documents, it checked all the boxes at the time. We followed up the first basic search tutorial with a blog post and a tutorial on how to use ML in Vespa to improve the text search application.


Artificial Intelligence: Reinforcement Learning in Python

#artificialintelligence

Created by Lazy Programmer Inc. English [Auto-generated], Portuguese [Auto-generated], 1 more Created by Lazy Programmer Inc. When people talk about artificial intelligence, they usually don't mean supervised and unsupervised machine learning. These tasks are pretty trivial compared to what we think of AIs doing - playing chess and Go, driving cars, and beating video games at a superhuman level. Reinforcement learning has recently become popular for doing all of that and more. Much like deep learning, a lot of the theory was discovered in the 70s and 80s but it hasn't been until recently that we've been able to observe first hand the amazing results that are possible.


Meta-Learning in Neural Networks: A Survey

arXiv.org Machine Learning

The field of meta-learning, or learning-to-learn, has seen a dramatic rise in interest in recent years. Contrary to conventional approaches to AI where a given task is solved from scratch using a fixed learning algorithm, meta-learning aims to improve the learning algorithm itself, given the experience of multiple learning episodes. This paradigm provides an opportunity to tackle many of the conventional challenges of deep learning, including data and computation bottlenecks, as well as the fundamental issue of generalization. In this survey we describe the contemporary meta-learning landscape. We first discuss definitions of meta-learning and position it with respect to related fields, such as transfer learning, multi-task learning, and hyperparameter optimization. We then propose a new taxonomy that provides a more comprehensive breakdown of the space of meta-learning methods today. We survey promising applications and successes of meta-learning including few-shot learning, reinforcement learning and architecture search. Finally, we discuss outstanding challenges and promising areas for future research.
