AI vs Machine Learning vs Deep Learning

#artificialintelligence

Let me tell you a story, before I get into the topic -- I am a Computer Engineering Student and it was my first year of college. And, Everyone was suggesting me to study and specialize about "AI and Machine Learning(ML)" because they say it is a high demand and a high-paying job. Of course, I agree with their ideas and the reasons. But, whenever I asked: "What is AI or ML?" Mostly everyone said to me -- Its the same i.e. teaching computers to behave like a human. My point is: Most people don't know and they are confused about, what is the small difference between AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning?

A Simulation Platform for Multi-tenant Machine Learning Services on Thousands of GPUs

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Multi-tenant machine learning services have become emerging data-intensive workloads in data centers with heavy usage of GPU resources. Due to the large scale, many tuning parameters and heavy resource usage, it is usually impractical to evaluate and benchmark those machine learning services on real clusters. In this demonstration, we present AnalySIM, a cluster simulator that allows efficient design explorations for multi-tenant machine learning services. Specifically, by trace-driven cluster workload simulation, AnalySIM can easily test and analyze various scheduling policies in a number of performance metrics such as GPU resource utilization. AnalySIM simulates the cluster computational resource based on both physical topology and logical partition. The tool has been used in SenseTime to understand the impact of different scheduling policies with the trace from a real production cluster of over 1000 GPUs. We find that preemption and migration are able to significantly reduce average job completion time and mitigate the resource fragmentation problem.


Understanding Entropy Coding With Asymmetric Numeral Systems (ANS): a Statistician's Perspective

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Entropy coding is the backbone data compression. Novel machine-learning based compression methods often use a new entropy coder called Asymmetric Numeral Systems (ANS) [Duda et al., 2015], which provides very close to optimal bitrates and simplifies [Townsend et al., 2019] advanced compression techniques such as bits-back coding. However, researchers with a background in machine learning often struggle to understand how ANS works, which prevents them from exploiting its full versatility. This paper is meant as an educational resource to make ANS more approachable by presenting it from a new perspective of latent variable models and the so-called bits-back trick. We guide the reader step by step to a complete implementation of ANS in the Python programming language, which we then generalize for more advanced use cases. We also present and empirically evaluate an open-source library of various entropy coders designed for both research and production use.

Sub-mW Keyword Spotting on an MCU: Analog Binary Feature Extraction and Binary Neural Networks

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Keyword spotting (KWS) is a crucial function enabling the interaction with the many ubiquitous smart devices in our surroundings, either activating them through wake-word or directly as a human-computer interface. For many applications, KWS is the entry point for our interactions with the device and, thus, an always-on workload. Many smart devices are mobile and their battery lifetime is heavily impacted by continuously running services. KWS and similar always-on services are thus the focus when optimizing the overall power consumption. This work addresses KWS energy-efficiency on low-cost microcontroller units (MCUs). We combine analog binary feature extraction with binary neural networks. By replacing the digital preprocessing with the proposed analog front-end, we show that the energy required for data acquisition and preprocessing can be reduced by 29x, cutting its share from a dominating 85% to a mere 16% of the overall energy consumption for our reference KWS application. Experimental evaluations on the Speech Commands Dataset show that the proposed system outperforms state-of-the-art accuracy and energy efficiency, respectively, by 1% and 4.3x on a 10-class dataset while providing a compelling accuracy-energy trade-off including a 2% accuracy drop for a 71x energy reduction.


GBRS: An Unified Model of Pawlak Rough Set and Neighborhood Rough Set

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Pawlak rough set and neighborhood rough set are the two most common rough set theoretical models. Pawlawk can use equivalence classes to represent knowledge, but it cannot process continuous data; neighborhood rough sets can process continuous data, but it loses the ability of using equivalence classes to represent knowledge. To this end, this paper presents a granular-ball rough set based on the granlar-ball computing. The granular-ball rough set can simultaneously represent Pawlak rough sets, and the neighborhood rough set, so as to realize the unified representation of the two. This makes the granular-ball rough set not only can deal with continuous data, but also can use equivalence classes for knowledge representation. In addition, we propose an implementation algorithms of granular-ball rough sets. The experimental resuts on benchmark datasets demonstrate that, due to the combination of the robustness and adaptability of the granular-ball computing, the learning accuracy of the granular-ball rough set has been greatly improved compared with the Pawlak rough set and the traditional neighborhood rough set. The granular-ball rough set also outperforms nine popular or the state-of-the-art feature selection methods.


Towards Intrinsic Interactive Reinforcement Learning

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Meanwhile, applications of RL have only begun to expand beyond these constrained game environments to more diverse and complex real-world environments such as chip design [86], chemical reaction optimization [133] and performing long-term recommendations [45]. To further progress towards these more complex real-world environments, greater alleviation of challenges currently facing RL (e.g., generalization, robustness, scalability, and safety) is needed [7, 27, 72, 108]. Moreover, we can expect that as the complexity of environments increases, the difficulty in alleviating these challenges will increase as well [27]. For the purpose of this paper, we broadly define known RL challenges as either an aptitude or alignment problem. Aptitude encompasses challenges concerned with being able to learn. Aptitude includes ideas such as robustness, the ability of RL to perform a task (e.g., asymptotic performance) and generalize within/between environments of similar complexity; scalability, the ability of RL to scale up to more complex environment; and aptness, the rate at which a RL algorithm can learn to solve a problem or achieve a desired performance level. Likewise, alignment encompasses challenges concerned with learning as intended [7, 27, 72]. The hypothetical paperclip agent [18] is a classic example of misalignment.

He heard brotherabe on his cell say the place was ripe. Heart of the hood, where this kinda crap happens all the time. And Lucky Liquors is run by this old chink. Gook's at the mart from opening til closing cuz he too damn cheap to hire help from the Projects. Serves him right getting tagged every couple of months. Slide convincing Ty to do the deed. Bluds since Sunshine Daycare, they bled enough and shredded enough to earn respect as the cracka/nigga posse not to jack. Lunchroom Thursday, Billy goes on spouting about taking what they deserve for being dissed since they was kids. From jacking construction sites at seven, to ripping music, movies and apps off the net and selling it on Craigslist at eleven, Tyron is always angling for money. To Ty, it buys respect. He be flipping off his hammered old man and dick-head brother on the way outta town, and his mom too, if she'd stuck around. "One strike gets us a sled and elevates us the rest a high school, blud. Then we outta here, down to Hollywood, man, do some rappin, some actin, be whoever we wanta be, Ty. And even if we get caught, but we won't, the most we'd get is maybe a short stint in juvie since we ain't got no rap sheets. And if we don't get caught, and we won't, I heard Chris say the gets around five large." Tyron stares at Audrey, the hoodrat who brought him out, across the lunchroom, now slumming with the cracka slanger, Baker. "Five grand would get us some respectable treads," Ty says. "We be legally stylin by the weekend if we did the deed this week." "Late afternoon, tomorra," Tyron says. Hoodies and caps, keep our mugs down, away from cameras, and we golden." "We ain't gonna just glide in there and ask for cash, blud. And copin a gun's gonna take time, and it ain't gonna be cheap," Billy feels a need to reality check him. "We don't need no gun. No shit Tyron hated guns. Took his old man out in a drive-by in their driveway when he was nine and his dad's brains landed all over him.
