Sketching Datasets for Large-Scale Learning (long version)

arXiv.org Machine Learning

This article considers "sketched learning," or "compressive learning," an approach to large-scale machine learning where datasets are massively compressed before learning (e.g., clustering, classification, or regression) is performed. In particular, a "sketch" is first constructed by computing carefully chosen nonlinear random features (e.g., random Fourier features) and averaging them over the whole dataset. Parameters are then learned from the sketch, without access to the original dataset. This article surveys the current state-of-the-art in sketched learning, including the main concepts and algorithms, their connections with established signal-processing methods, existing theoretical guarantees---on both information preservation and privacy preservation, and important open problems.


Modeling and Prediction of Human Driver Behavior: A Survey

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

We present a review and taxonomy of 200 models from the literature on driver behavior modeling. We begin by introducing a mathematical formulation based on the partially observable stochastic game, which serves as a common framework for comparing and contrasting different driver models. Our taxonomy is constructed around the core modeling tasks of state estimation, intention estimation, trait estimation, and motion prediction, and also discusses the auxiliary tasks of risk estimation, anomaly detection, behavior imitation and microscopic traffic simulation. Existing driver models are categorized based on the specific tasks they address and key attributes of their approach.


RAC 'Emerging Trends in Retail Robotics' report released - AnalyticsWeek

#artificialintelligence

Robots are increasingly being deployed in retail environments. The reasons for this include: to relieve staff from the performance of repetitive and mundane tasks; to reallocate staff to more value-added, customer-facing activities; to realize operational improvements; and, to utilize real-time in-store generated data. Due to the impact of the 2020 Coronavirus outbreak, we can now add a new reason to use robots in retail: to assist with customer and employee safety. In this Research Article, the Retail Analytics Council at NWU presents information on the benefits associated with deploying robots in stores. Estimates of the size of the global retail robot market are advanced.


Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation with Swarm - Programmer Books

#artificialintelligence

Swarm-based multi-agent simulation leads to better modeling of tasks in biology, engineering, economics, art, and many other areas. It also facilitates an understanding of complicated phenomena that cannot be solved analytically. Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation with Swarm provides the methodology for a multi-agent-based modeling approach that integrates computational techniques such as artificial life, cellular automata, and bio-inspired optimization. Each chapter gives an overview of the problem, explores state-of-the-art technology in the field, and discusses multi-agent frameworks. The author describes step by step how to assemble algorithms for generating a simulation model, program, method for visualization, and further research tasks.


Using Machine Learning To Automate Data Coding At The Bureau Of Labor Statistics (BLS)

#artificialintelligence

Government agencies are awash in documents. Many of these documents are paper-based, but even for the electronic documents a human is still often needed to process and understand those documents to make use of them for vital services. Federal agencies are increasingly looking to AI to help improve those document and human-bound processes by applying advanced machine learning, neural network, and natural language processing (NLP) technologies. While for many these technologies might be fairly new in their organization, in some government agencies, they have been using that technology for many years, augmenting and enhancing various workflows and tasks. In the case of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the agency is mandated to conduct a Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses to determine workplace injuries and help guide policy.


Introduction to Linear Algebra for Applied Machine Learning with Python

#artificialintelligence

Linear algebra is to machine learning as flour to bakery: every machine learning model is based in linear algebra, as every cake is based in flour. It is not the only ingredient, of course. Machine learning models need vector calculus, probability, and optimization, as cakes need sugar, eggs, and butter. Applied machine learning, like bakery, is essentially about combining these mathematical ingredients in clever ways to create useful (tasty?) models. This document contains introductory level linear algebra notes for applied machine learning. It is meant as a reference rather than a comprehensive review. If you ever get confused by matrix multiplication, don't remember what was the $L_2$ norm, or the conditions for linear independence, this can serve as a quick reference. It also a good introduction for people that don't need a deep understanding of linear algebra, but still want to learn about the fundamentals to read about machine learning or to use pre-packaged machine learning ...


Time Perception: A Review on Psychological, Computational and Robotic Models

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Animals exploit time to survive in the world. Temporal information is required for higher-level cognitive abilities such as planning, decision making, communication and effective cooperation. Since time is an inseparable part of cognition, there is a growing interest in the artificial intelligence approach to subjective time, which has a possibility of advancing the field. The current survey study aims to provide researchers with an interdisciplinary perspective on time perception. Firstly, we introduce a brief background from the psychology and neuroscience literature, covering the characteristics and models of time perception and the related abilities. Secondly, we summarize the emergent computational and robotic models of time perception. A general overview to the literature reveals that a substantial amount of timing models are based on a dedicated time processing like the emergence of a clock-like mechanism from the neural network dynamics and reveal a relationship between the embodiment and time perception. We also notice that most models of timing are developed for either sensory timing (i.e. the ability of assessment of an interval) or motor timing (i.e. ability to reproduce an interval). The number of timing models capable of retrospective timing, which is the ability to track time without paying attention, is insufficient. In this light, we discuss the possible research directions to promote interdisciplinary collaboration for time perception.

No matter what industry you operate in, you'll have noticed by now that technology is changing the way we do business. Technology continues to evolve, and businesses need to keep up or risk becoming obsolete. Companies that continue to practice traditional business methods will find it more difficult to stay relevant and competitive. If they overlook the significance of digital transformation, they face an imminent threat of being outsmarted by more innovative players in the game. The day is coming when digital transformation will mean the difference between survival, and the ability to thrive in this technology-driven world.


The role of explainability in creating trustworthy artificial intelligence for health care: a comprehensive survey of the terminology, design choices, and evaluation strategies

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) has huge potential to improve the health and well-being of people, but adoption in clinical practice is still limited. Lack of transparency is identified as one of the main barriers to implementation, as clinicians should be confident the AI system can be trusted. Explainable AI has the potential to overcome this issue and can be a step towards trustworthy AI. In this paper we review the recent literature to provide guidance to researchers and practitioners on the design of explainable AI systems for the health-care domain and contribute to formalization of the field of explainable AI. We argue the reason to demand explainability determines what should be explained as this determines the relative importance of the properties of explainability (i.e. interpretability and fidelity). Based on this, we give concrete recommendations to choose between classes of explainable AI methods (explainable modelling versus post-hoc explanation; model-based, attribution-based, or example-based explanations; global and local explanations). Furthermore, we find that quantitative evaluation metrics, which are important for objective standardized evaluation, are still lacking for some properties (e.g. clarity) and types of explanators (e.g. example-based methods). We conclude that explainable modelling can contribute to trustworthy AI, but recognize that complementary measures might be needed to create trustworthy AI (e.g. reporting data quality, performing extensive (external) validation, and regulation).
