20 Year Indian Student's Machine Learning Software To Be Sent To Space

#artificialintelligence

A student from India studying in the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore, has developed a machine learning software along with his team consisting of 4 other students from the same institution. This software is said to be sent up to the International Space Station (ISS). Archit Gupta's team won a competition recently which was on developing different ways to apply artificial intelligence on space applications. This victory gave his team an opportunity to test their software in the International Space Station (ISS). The software will be installed into a supercomputer which is an artificial intelligence box and after that it will be sent up to the ISS.

Linear Jamming Bandits: Sample-Efficient Learning for Non-Coherent Digital Jamming

arXiv.org Machine Learning

It has been shown (Amuru et al. 2015) that online learning algorithms can be effectively used to select optimal physical layer parameters for jamming against digital modulation schemes without a priori knowledge of the victim's transmission strategy. However, this learning problem involves solving a multi-armed bandit problem with a mixed action space that can grow very large. As a result, convergence to the optimal jamming strategy can be slow, especially when the victim and jammer's symbols are not perfectly synchronized. In this work, we remedy the sample efficiency issues by introducing a linear bandit algorithm that accounts for inherent similarities between actions. Further, we propose context features which are well-suited for the statistical features of the non-coherent jamming problem and demonstrate significantly improved convergence behavior compared to the prior art. Additionally, we show how prior knowledge about the victim's transmissions can be seamlessly integrated into the learning framework. We finally discuss limitations in the asymptotic regime.


ACT-Net: Asymmetric Co-Teacher Network for Semi-supervised Memory-efficient Medical Image Segmentation

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

While deep models have shown promising performance in medical image segmentation, they heavily rely on a large amount of well-annotated data, which is difficult to access, especially in clinical practice. On the other hand, high-accuracy deep models usually come in large model sizes, limiting their employment in real scenarios. In this work, we propose a novel asymmetric co-teacher framework, ACT-Net, to alleviate the burden on both expensive annotations and computational costs for semi-supervised knowledge distillation. We advance teacher-student learning with a co-teacher network to facilitate asymmetric knowledge distillation from large models to small ones by alternating student and teacher roles, obtaining tiny but accurate models for clinical employment. To verify the effectiveness of our ACT-Net, we employ the ACDC dataset for cardiac substructure segmentation in our experiments. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that ACT-Net outperforms other knowledge distillation methods and achieves lossless segmentation performance with 250x fewer parameters.


NatGen: Generative pre-training by "Naturalizing" source code

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Pre-trained Generative Language models (e.g. PLBART, CodeT5, SPT-Code) for source code yielded strong results on several tasks in the past few years, including code generation and translation. These models have adopted varying pre-training objectives to learn statistics of code construction from very large-scale corpora in a self-supervised fashion; the success of pre-trained models largely hinges on these pre-training objectives. This paper proposes a new pre-training objective, "Naturalizing" of source code, exploiting code's bimodal, dual-channel (formal & natural channels) nature. Unlike natural language, code's bimodal, dual-channel nature allows us to generate semantically equivalent code at scale. We introduce six classes of semantic preserving transformations to introduce un-natural forms of code, and then force our model to produce more natural original programs written by developers. Learning to generate equivalent, but more natural code, at scale, over large corpora of open-source code, without explicit manual supervision, helps the model learn to both ingest & generate code. We fine-tune our model in three generative Software Engineering tasks: code generation, code translation, and code refinement with limited human-curated labeled data and achieve state-of-the-art performance rivaling CodeT5. We show that our pre-trained model is especially competitive at zero-shot and few-shot learning, and better at learning code properties (e.g., syntax, data flow).


Pretraining on Interactions for Learning Grounded Affordance Representations

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Lexical semantics and cognitive science point to affordances (i.e. the actions that objects support) as critical for understanding and representing nouns and verbs. However, study of these semantic features has not yet been integrated with the "foundation" models that currently dominate language representation research. We hypothesize that predictive modeling of object state over time will result in representations that encode object affordance information "for free". We train a neural network to predict objects' trajectories in a simulated interaction and show that our network's latent representations differentiate between both observed and unobserved affordances. We find that models trained using 3D simulations from our SPATIAL dataset outperform conventional 2D computer vision models trained on a similar task, and, on initial inspection, that differences between concepts correspond to expected features (e.g., roll entails rotation). Our results suggest a way in which modern deep learning approaches to grounded language learning can be integrated with traditional formal semantic notions of lexical representations.


The future of work 3 โ€“ automation

#artificialintelligence

In this third part of my series on the future of work, I want to deal with the impact of automation, in particular robots and artificial intelligence (AI) on jobs. I have covered this issue of the relationship between human labour and machines before, including robots and AI. But is there anything new that we can find after the COVID slump? The leading American mainstream expert on the impact of automation on future jobs is Daron Acemoglu, Institute Professor at MIT. In testimony to the US Congress, Acemoglu started by reminding Congress that automation was not a recent phenomenon.
