Deploying machine-, and in particular deep-learning, (ML/DL) solutions in industry-strength, production quality contexts proves to challenging. This requires a structured engineering approach to constructing and evolving systems that contain ML/DL components. In this paper, we provide a conceptualization of the typical evolution patterns that companies experience when employing ML/DL well as a framework for integrating ML/DL components in systems consisting of multiple types of components. In addition, we provide an overview of the engineering challenges surrounding AI/ML/DL solutions and, based on that, we provide a research agenda and overview of open items that need to be addressed by the research community at large.

With the rapid development of virtualization techniques, cloud data centers allow for cost effective, flexible, and customizable deployments of applications on virtualized infrastructure. Virtual machine (VM) placement aims to assign each virtual machine to a server in the cloud environment. VM Placement is of paramount importance to the design of cloud data centers. Typically, VM placement involves complex relations and multiple design factors as well as local policies that govern the assignment decisions. It also involves different constituents including cloud administrators and customers that might have disparate preferences while opting for a placement solution. Thus, it is often valuable to not only return an optimized solution to the VM placement problem but also a solution that reflects the given preferences of the constituents. In this paper, we provide a detailed review on the role of preferences in the recent literature on VM placement. We further discuss key challenges and identify possible research opportunities to better incorporate preferences within the context of VM placement.

On the other hand there are a whole host of NLU / NLP tools which are open source, powerful and can be locally installed. State of the art algorithms are available with generally excellent documentation. Prototyping and demo applications can fairly easily be created. Special hardware is in most cases not required and making use of virtual environments like Anaconda, installations can be performed efficiently on a PC and visually impressive demonstrations and prototyping can be performed. No cost is involved, and NLP API's can be created to use within an organisation.

Advances in biological and medical technologies have been providing us explosive volumes of biological and physiological data, such as medical images, electroencephalography, genomic and protein sequences. Developed from artificial neural networks, deep learning-based algorithms show great promise in extracting features and learning patterns from complex data. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of deep learning techniques and some of the state-of-the-art applications in the biomedical field. We first introduce the development of artificial neural network and deep learning. We then describe two main components of deep learning, i.e., deep learning architectures and model optimization.

Algorithmic fairness in decision-making has been studied extensively in static settings where one-shot decisions are made on tasks such as classification. However, in practice most decision-making processes are of a sequential nature, where decisions made in the past may have an impact on future data. This is particularly the case when decisions affect the individuals or users generating the data used for future decisions. In this survey, we review existing literature on the fairness of data-driven sequential decision-making. We will focus on two types of sequential decisions: (1) past decisions have no impact on the underlying user population and thus no impact on future data; (2) past decisions have an impact on the underlying user population and therefore the future data, which can then impact future decisions. In each case the impact of various fairness interventions on the underlying population is examined.

In fact, it was invented in the 1950s but has only recently become widely accepted in modern business. This makes it crucial that a business stays up to date on what's working and what isn't. Doing so can give a company a competitive advantage while improving marketing and advertising performance. With that being said, today I will be sharing emerging trends in the AI industry that you need to be aware of moving into 2020. You don't need a crystal ball to know the future.

Relation Extraction (RE), the task of detecting and characterizing semantic relations between entities in text, has gained much importance in the last two decades, mainly in the biomedical domain. Many papers have been published on Relation Extraction using supervised machine learning techniques. Most of these techniques rely on statistical methods, such as feature-based and tree-kernels-based methods. Such statistical learning techniques are usually based on a propositional hypothesis space for representing examples, i.e., they employ an attribute-value representation of features. This kind of representation has some drawbacks, particularly in the extraction of complex relations which demand more contextual information about the involving instances, i.e., it is not able to effectively capture structural information from parse trees without loss of information. In this work, we present OntoILPER, a logic-based relational learning approach to Relation Extraction that uses Inductive Logic Programming for generating extraction models in the form of symbolic extraction rules. OntoILPER takes profit of a rich relational representation of examples, which can alleviate the aforementioned drawbacks. The proposed relational approach seems to be more suitable for Relation Extraction than statistical ones for several reasons that we argue. Moreover, OntoILPER uses a domain ontology that guides the background knowledge generation process and is used for storing the extracted relation instances. The induced extraction rules were evaluated on three protein-protein interaction datasets from the biomedical domain. The performance of OntoILPER extraction models was compared with other state-of-the-art RE systems. The encouraging results seem to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed solution.

The vital role that cybersecurity plays in protecting our privacy, rights, freedoms, and everything up to and including our physical safety will be more prominent than ever during 2020. More and more of our vital infrastructure is coming online and vulnerable to digital attacks, data breaches involving the leak of personal information are becoming more frequent and bigger, and there's an increasing awareness of political interference and state-sanctioned cyberattacks. The importance of cybersecurity is undoubtedly a growing matter of public concern. We put our faith in technology to solve many of the problems we are facing, both on a global and personal scale. But as the world becomes increasingly connected, the opportunities for bad guys to take advantage for profit or political ends inevitably increases.
