Coursera Deep Learning Specialization Review in 2022

#artificialintelligence

Coursera Deep Learning Specialization provides an introduction to DL methods for computer vision applications for practitioners who are familiar with the basics of DL. You will discover a breakdown and review of the convolutional neural networks course taught by Andrew Ng on deep learning specialization. It does not focus too much on math and does not include any code. After finishing the specialization you will know how to build models for photo classification, object detection, face recognition, and more. Instructors patiently explain the requisite math and programming concepts in a carefully planned order for learners who could be rusty in math/coding.


Statistics with R Specialization Coursera Review 2022

#artificialintelligence

This course is about the discussion of sampling and exploring data, as well as basic probability theory and Bayes' rule. A variety of exploratory data analysis techniques will be covered, including numeric summary statistics and basic data visualization. The concepts and techniques you will find in this course will serve as building blocks for the inference and modeling courses in the Specialization.



Week 1-- FlashCards

#artificialintelligence

Hi, we are a two-student group that will be trying to create an ML model for their AIN311 course. This is the first of the many blog posts we will publish regarding this project. Stay tuned for a new post every Sunday. As everybody knows AI changes our lives for the better day by day. As two AI Engineering students, we thought we could kill two birds with one stone and create a project for our course which could help us study better while saving us time.


Can AI change the way we approach higher education?

#artificialintelligence

This essay examines the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on higher education (HE). The primary emphasis is on utilising AI to facilitate teaching and learning. There are several teaching and learning tools and software applications in higher education, but there is still plenty to learn. AI has the potential to transform not only the delivery and provision of higher education, but also the content and tools of educational resources. The majority of the world did not understand the term artificial intelligence (AI), despite the fact that it is the subject of exemplary research at institutions worldwide.

What Tomorrow's Business Leaders Need to Know About Machine Learning Sometimes I write a blog just to formulate and organize a point of view, and I think it's time that I pull together the bounty of excellent information about Machine Learning. This is a topic with which business leaders must become comfortable, especially tomorrow's business leaders (tip for my next semester University of San Francisco business students!). Machine learning is a key capability that will help organizations drive optimization and monetization opportunities, and there have been some recent developments that will place basic machine learning capabilities into the hands of the lines of business. By the way, there is an absolute wealth of freely-available material on machine learning, so I've included a sources section at the end of this blog for folks who want more details on machine learning. Time to dive into the world of machine learning!


Exposing Outlier Exposure: What Can Be Learned From Few, One, and Zero Outlier Images

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Due to the intractability of characterizing everything that looks unlike the normal data, anomaly detection (AD) is traditionally treated as an unsupervised problem utilizing only normal samples. However, it has recently been found that unsupervised image AD can be drastically improved through the utilization of huge corpora of random images to represent anomalousness; a technique which is known as Outlier Exposure. In this paper we show that specialized AD learning methods seem unnecessary for state-of-the-art performance, and furthermore one can achieve strong performance with just a small collection of Outlier Exposure data, contradicting common assumptions in the field of AD. We find that standard classifiers and semi-supervised one-class methods trained to discern between normal samples and relatively few random natural images are able to outperform the current state of the art on an established AD benchmark with ImageNet. Further experiments reveal that even one well-chosen outlier sample is sufficient to achieve decent performance on this benchmark (79.3% AUC). We investigate this phenomenon and find that one-class methods are more robust to the choice of training outliers, indicating that there are scenarios where these are still more useful than standard classifiers. Additionally, we include experiments that delineate the scenarios where our results hold. Lastly, no training samples are necessary when one uses the representations learned by CLIP, a recent foundation model, which achieves state-of-the-art AD results on CIFAR-10 and ImageNet in a zero-shot setting.


Learning to Answer Multilingual and Code-Mixed Questions

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Question-answering (QA) that comes naturally to humans is a critical component in seamless human-computer interaction. It has emerged as one of the most convenient and natural methods to interact with the web and is especially desirable in voice-controlled environments. Despite being one of the oldest research areas, the current QA system faces the critical challenge of handling multilingual queries. To build an Artificial Intelligent (AI) agent that can serve multilingual end users, a QA system is required to be language versatile and tailored to suit the multilingual environment. Recent advances in QA models have enabled surpassing human performance primarily due to the availability of a sizable amount of high-quality datasets. However, the majority of such annotated datasets are expensive to create and are only confined to the English language, making it challenging to acknowledge progress in foreign languages. Therefore, to measure a similar improvement in the multilingual QA system, it is necessary to invest in high-quality multilingual evaluation benchmarks. In this dissertation, we focus on advancing QA techniques for handling end-user queries in multilingual environments. This dissertation consists of two parts. In the first part, we explore multilingualism and a new dimension of multilingualism referred to as code-mixing. Second, we propose a technique to solve the task of multi-hop question generation by exploiting multiple documents. Experiments show our models achieve state-of-the-art performance on answer extraction, ranking, and generation tasks on multiple domains of MQA, VQA, and language generation. The proposed techniques are generic and can be widely used in various domains and languages to advance QA systems.


Dynamic Collaborative Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning Communication for Autonomous Drone Reforestation

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

We approach autonomous drone-based reforestation with a collaborative multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) setup. Agents can communicate as part of a dynamically changing network. We explore collaboration and communication on the back of a high-impact problem. Forests are the main resource to control rising CO2 conditions. Unfortunately, the global forest volume is decreasing at an unprecedented rate. Many areas are too large and hard to traverse to plant new trees. To efficiently cover as much area as possible, here we propose a Graph Neural Network (GNN) based communication mechanism that enables collaboration. Agents can share location information on areas needing reforestation, which increases viewed area and planted tree count. We compare our proposed communication mechanism with a multi-agent baseline without the ability to communicate. Results show how communication enables collaboration and increases collective performance, planting precision and the risk-taking propensity of individual agents.
