Adaptive AI: The Future of Intelligent Systems and Decision Making

#artificialintelligence

Do you want to learn more about artificial intelligence? Consider adaptive AI, a revolutionary type of AI that can continuously learn and adapt to new situations and changes in its environment. Current use cases of adaptive AI are the commonly known self-driven cars and digital assistants, while the lesser-known examples are fraud detection and medical diagnosis. So, what does the future hold for adaptive AI? And what does it mean for individuals and industries?


Exploring the Role of Artificial Intelligence in Education

#artificialintelligence

The increasing prevalence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has led to countless opportunities for use in virtually every industry, including education. With the potential to revolutionize teaching and learning, Artificial intelligence and its utilization are becoming topics of growing interest in the education sector. This essay will explore the role of artificial intelligence in education and focus on topics such as AI-assisted instruction, adaptive learning, and student assessment. AI-assisted instruction uses machine learning algorithms and computer vision to assist teachers in delivering classroom instructions. By analyzing vast amounts of data, computers can provide valuable insights that help tailor instruction to individual student needs and increase the overall efficiency of teaching and learning.

Performance assessment and exhaustive listing of 500+ nature inspired metaheuristic algorithms

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Metaheuristics are popularly used in various fields, and they have attracted much attention in the scientific and industrial communities. In recent years, the number of new metaheuristic names has been continuously growing. Generally, the inventors attribute the novelties of these new algorithms to inspirations from either biology, human behaviors, physics, or other phenomena. In addition, these new algorithms, compared against basic versions of other metaheuristics using classical benchmark problems without shift/rotation, show competitive performances. In this study, we exhaustively tabulate more than 500 metaheuristics. To comparatively evaluate the performance of the recent competitive variants and newly proposed metaheuristics, 11 newly proposed metaheuristics and 4 variants of established metaheuristics are comprehensively compared on the CEC2017 benchmark suite. In addition, whether these algorithms have a search bias to the center of the search space is investigated. The results show that the performance of the newly proposed EBCM (effective butterfly optimizer with covariance matrix adaptation) algorithm performs comparably to the 4 well performing variants of the established metaheuristics and possesses similar properties and behaviors, such as convergence, diversity, exploration and exploitation trade-offs, in many aspects. The performance of all 15 of the algorithms is likely to deteriorate due to certain transformations, while the 4 state-of-the-art metaheuristics are less affected by transformations such as the shifting of the global optimal point away from the center of the search space. It should be noted that, except EBCM, the other 10 new algorithms proposed mostly during 2019-2020 are inferior to the well performing 2017 variants of differential evolution and evolution strategy in terms of convergence speed and global search ability on CEC 2017 functions.


Gradient Descent-Type Methods: Background and Simple Unified Convergence Analysis

arXiv.org Machine Learning

In this book chapter, we briefly describe the main components that constitute the gradient descent method and its accelerated and stochastic variants. We aim at explaining these components from a mathematical point of view, including theoretical and practical aspects, but at an elementary level. We will focus on basic variants of the gradient descent method and then extend our view to recent variants, especially variance-reduced stochastic gradient schemes (SGD). Our approach relies on revealing the structures presented inside the problem and the assumptions imposed on the objective function. Our convergence analysis unifies several known results and relies on a general, but elementary recursive expression. We have illustrated this analysis on several common schemes.


Adaptive Control of Client Selection and Gradient Compression for Efficient Federated Learning

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Federated learning (FL) allows multiple clients cooperatively train models without disclosing local data. However, the existing works fail to address all these practical concerns in FL: limited communication resources, dynamic network conditions and heterogeneous client properties, which slow down the convergence of FL. To tackle the above challenges, we propose a heterogeneity-aware FL framework, called FedCG, with adaptive client selection and gradient compression. Specifically, the parameter server (PS) selects a representative client subset considering statistical heterogeneity and sends the global model to them. After local training, these selected clients upload compressed model updates matching their capabilities to the PS for aggregation, which significantly alleviates the communication load and mitigates the straggler effect. We theoretically analyze the impact of both client selection and gradient compression on convergence performance. Guided by the derived convergence rate, we develop an iteration-based algorithm to jointly optimize client selection and compression ratio decision using submodular maximization and linear programming. Extensive experiments on both real-world prototypes and simulations show that FedCG can provide up to 5.3$\times$ speedup compared to other methods.


Exploring a multi_stage feedback teaching mode for graduate students of software engineering discipline based on project_driven competition

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Aiming at the current problems of theory-oriented, practice-light, and lack of innovation ability in the teaching of postgraduate software engineering courses, a multi-stage feedback teaching mode for software engineering postgraduates based on competition project-driven is proposed. The model is driven by the competition project, and implementing suggestions are given in terms of stage allocation of software engineering course tasks and ability cultivation, competition case design and process evaluation improvement, etc. Through the implementation of this teaching mode, students' enthusiasm and initiative are expected to be stimulated, and the overall development of students' professional skills and comprehension ability would be improved to meet the demand of society for software engineering technical talents.
