India's next I-T boom may be in Artificial Intelligence - Jammu Kashmir Latest News

#artificialintelligence

K Raveendran A global survey of companies has revealed a serious shortage of tech talent when it comes to artificial intelligence, which is threatening to slow down the shift towards the new productivity tool. A majority of respondents in the survey, carried out by management consultancy McKinsey, have reported difficulty in hiring for each AI-related role in the past year, and most say it either wasn't any easier or was more difficult to acquire this talent than in years past. AI data scientists remain particularly scarce, with the largest share of respondents rating data scientist as a role that has been difficult to fill, out of the roles we asked about. The findings are particularly relevant to India, which boasts the world's biggest talent pool, and have lessons for the country's education system. India has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the IT boom, triggered by the highly feared Y2K problem at the turn of the new millennium, which ultimately turned out to be a non-issue.


ChatGPT: Why Everyone Is Obsessed This Mind-Blowing AI Chatbot - CNET

#artificialintelligence

The tool, from a power player in artificial intelligence, lets you type questions using natural language that the chatbot answers in conversational, if somewhat stilted, language. The bot remembers the thread of your dialog, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. Its answers are derived from huge volumes of information on the internet. The tool seems pretty knowledgeable if not omniscient. It can be creative, and its answers can sound downright authoritative.


Shtetl-Optimized » Blog Archive » My AI Safety Lecture for UT Effective Altruism

#artificialintelligence

Two weeks ago, I gave a lecture setting out my current thoughts on AI safety, halfway through my year at OpenAI. I was asked to speak by UT Austin's Effective Altruist club. You can watch the lecture on YouTube here (I recommend 2x speed). The timing turned out to be weird, coming immediately after the worst disaster to hit the Effective Altruist movement in its history, as I acknowledged in the talk. I then spent 20 minutes taking questions. For those who (like me) prefer text over video, below I've produced an edited transcript, by starting with YouTube's automated transcript and then, well, editing it. Thank you so much for inviting me here. I do feel a little bit sheepish to be lecturing you about AI safety, as someone who's worked on this subject for all of five months. But this past spring, I accepted an extremely interesting opportunity to go on leave for a year to think about what theoretical computer science can do for AI safety. I'm doing this at OpenAI, which is one of the world's leading AI startups, based in San Francisco although I'm mostly working from Austin. Despite its name, OpenAI is famously not 100% open … so there are certain topics that I'm not allowed to talk about, like the capabilities of the very latest systems and whether or not they'll blow people's minds when released. By contrast, OpenAI is very happy for me to talk about AI safety: what it is and and what if anything can we do about it. So what I thought I'd do is to tell you a little bit about the specific projects that I've been working on at OpenAI, but also just, as an admitted newcomer, share some general thoughts about AI safety and how Effective Altruists might want to think about it. I'll try to leave plenty of time for discussion. Maybe I should mention that the thoughts that I'll tell you today are ones that, until last week, I had considered writing up for an essay contest run by something called the FTX Future Fund. Unfortunately, the FTX Future Fund no longer exists. It was founded by someone named Sam Bankman-Fried, whose a net worth went from 15 billion dollars to some negative number of dollars in the space of two days, in one of the biggest financial scandals in memory. This is obviously a calamity for the EA community, which had been counting on funding from this individual. I feel terrible about all the projects left in the lurch, to say nothing of FTX's customers. Let's start with this: raise your hand if you've tried GPT-3.


To Make an Impact in Any Industry, Domain Knowledge Is Critical

#artificialintelligence

My interest in data science first surfaced as a graduate student at MIT, during the preprocessing of sensor data from experiments I conducted on ships at the Towing Tank laboratory around 2014. Although at that time I was not formally introduced to data science as it is today, the analyses I did then were essentially time-series analyses. Perhaps because the focus was more on scientifically investigating the performance of offshore structures and ships in ocaean waves, I did not realize how much of the fundamentals of data science I have built capacity in already. This really helped smoothen my journey in formalizing my data science skills when I started taking courses in Udemy and Cousera. For example, I wrote several programs for data processing and analysis in MATLAB for about 5 years, which made it relatively easy for me to learn Python.

Molecule optimization via multi-objective evolutionary in implicit chemical space

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Machine learning methods have been used to accelerate the molecule optimization process. However, efficient search for optimized molecules satisfying several properties with scarce labeled data remains a challenge for machine learning molecule optimization. In this study, we propose MOMO, a multi-objective molecule optimization framework to address the challenge by combining learning of chemical knowledge with Pareto-based multi-objective evolutionary search. To learn chemistry, it employs a self-supervised codec to construct an implicit chemical space and acquire the continues representation of molecules. To explore the established chemical space, MOMO uses multi-objective evolution to comprehensively and efficiently search for similar molecules with multiple desirable properties. We demonstrate the high performance of MOMO on four multi-objective property and similarity optimization tasks, and illustrate the search capability of MOMO through case studies. Remarkably, our approach significantly outperforms previous approaches in optimizing three objectives simultaneously. The results show the optimization capability of MOMO, suggesting to improve the success rate of lead molecule optimization.


Modeling Global Distribution for Federated Learning with Label Distribution Skew

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Federated learning achieves joint training of deep models by connecting decentralized data sources, which can significantly mitigate the risk of privacy leakage. However, in a more general case, the distributions of labels among clients are different, called ``label distribution skew''. Directly applying conventional federated learning without consideration of label distribution skew issue significantly hurts the performance of the global model. To this end, we propose a novel federated learning method, named FedMGD, to alleviate the performance degradation caused by the label distribution skew issue. It introduces a global Generative Adversarial Network to model the global data distribution without access to local datasets, so the global model can be trained using the global information of data distribution without privacy leakage. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art on several public benchmarks. Code is available at \url{https://github.com/Sheng-T/FedMGD}.


Cascaded Compositional Residual Learning for Complex Interactive Behaviors

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Real-world autonomous missions often require rich interaction with nearby objects, such as doors or switches, along with effective navigation. However, such complex behaviors are difficult to learn because they involve both high-level planning and low-level motor control. We present a novel framework, Cascaded Compositional Residual Learning (CCRL), which learns composite skills by recursively leveraging a library of previously learned control policies. Our framework learns multiplicative policy composition, task-specific residual actions, and synthetic goal information simultaneously while freezing the prerequisite policies. We further explicitly control the style of the motion by regularizing residual actions. We show that our framework learns joint-level control policies for a diverse set of motor skills ranging from basic locomotion to complex interactive navigation, including navigating around obstacles, pushing objects, crawling under a table, pushing a door open with its leg, and holding it open while walking through it. The proposed CCRL framework leads to policies with consistent styles and lower joint torques, which we successfully transfer to a real Unitree A1 robot without any additional fine-tuning.


Neuromorphic Computing and Sensing in Space

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The term ``neuromorphic'' refers to systems that are closely resembling the architecture and/or the dynamics of biological neural networks. Typical examples are novel computer chips designed to mimic the architecture of a biological brain, or sensors that get inspiration from, e.g., the visual or olfactory systems in insects and mammals to acquire information about the environment. This approach is not without ambition as it promises to enable engineered devices able to reproduce the level of performance observed in biological organisms -- the main immediate advantage being the efficient use of scarce resources, which translates into low power requirements. The emphasis on low power and energy efficiency of neuromorphic devices is a perfect match for space applications. Spacecraft -- especially miniaturized ones -- have strict energy constraints as they need to operate in an environment which is scarce with resources and extremely hostile. In this work we present an overview of early attempts made to study a neuromorphic approach in a space context at the European Space Agency's (ESA) Advanced Concepts Team (ACT).
