New AWS re:Invent Announcements: Swami Sivasubramanian Keynote

#artificialintelligence

Today we all got an hour or two of Swami's time as he went over the many machine learning-focused releases from AWS (a total of 13 in all). Dr. Sivasubramanian is the VP of Amazon Machine Learning, and it's always cool to hear about anything coming from his department. Machine learning in AWS has been a long time in the works, and I have watched with piqued interest to see how it has evolved over time. When I think back to re:Invent 2017 and the release of Amazon SageMaker it's amazing to see just how far AWS has pushed the democratization of machine learning technology in just a handful of years. Before SageMaker it was quite a production to get any kind of machine learning workload running in the cloud.

Artificial intelligence and on-the-job safety

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence already is part of our everyday lives: in our web searches, in our interactions with digital assistants, and even helping us decide what movies and TV shows to watch. "Not only will it be in the fabric of the future of work, but it's going to be in the fabric of solutions to the future of work as well," Vietas said during a webinar hosted by the agency in June. Some of the benefits AI is providing to the safety field: deeper insights, continuous observations and real-time alerts to help employees avoid unsafe situations and organizations respond to incidents quicker. Experts say making use of AI requires collaborative efforts between safety professionals and other departments, namely information technology, to ensure transparency as well as alleviate privacy concerns and other issues workers may have. "Our recommendation is, basically, try to understand AI and try to see how it can work for you," said Houshang Darabi, a professor at the University of Illinois Chicago and co-director of the occupational safety program at the school's Great Lakes Center for Occupational Health and Safety.


NeuronFair: Interpretable White-Box Fairness Testing through Biased Neuron Identification

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have demonstrated their outperformance in various domains. However, it raises a social concern whether DNNs can produce reliable and fair decisions especially when they are applied to sensitive domains involving valuable resource allocation, such as education, loan, and employment. It is crucial to conduct fairness testing before DNNs are reliably deployed to such sensitive domains, i.e., generating as many instances as possible to uncover fairness violations. However, the existing testing methods are still limited from three aspects: interpretability, performance, and generalizability. To overcome the challenges, we propose NeuronFair, a new DNN fairness testing framework that differs from previous work in several key aspects: (1) interpretable - it quantitatively interprets DNNs' fairness violations for the biased decision; (2) effective - it uses the interpretation results to guide the generation of more diverse instances in less time; (3) generic - it can handle both structured and unstructured data. Extensive evaluations across 7 datasets and the corresponding DNNs demonstrate NeuronFair's superior performance. For instance, on structured datasets, it generates much more instances (~x5.84) and saves more time (with an average speedup of 534.56%) compared with the state-of-the-art methods. Besides, the instances of NeuronFair can also be leveraged to improve the fairness of the biased DNNs, which helps build more fair and trustworthy deep learning systems.


A distributed, plug-n-play algorithm for multi-robot applications with a priori non-computable objective functions

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

This paper presents a distributed algorithm applicable to a wide range of practical multi-robot applications. In such multi-robot applications, the user-defined objectives of the mission can be cast as a general optimization problem, without explicit guidelines of the subtasks per different robot. Owing to the unknown environment, unknown robot dynamics, sensor nonlinearities, etc., the analytic form of the optimization cost function is not available a priori. Therefore, standard gradient-descent-like algorithms are not applicable to these problems. To tackle this, we introduce a new algorithm that carefully designs each robot's subcost function, the optimization of which can accomplish the overall team objective. Upon this transformation, we propose a distributed methodology based on the cognitive-based adaptive optimization (CAO) algorithm, that is able to approximate the evolution of each robot's cost function and to adequately optimize its decision variables (robot actions). The latter can be achieved by online learning only the problem-specific characteristics that affect the accomplishment of mission objectives. The overall, low-complexity algorithm can straightforwardly incorporate any kind of operational constraint, is fault-tolerant, and can appropriately tackle time-varying cost functions. A cornerstone of this approach is that it shares the same convergence characteristics as those of block coordinate descent algorithms. The proposed algorithm is evaluated in three heterogeneous simulation set-ups under multiple scenarios, against both general-purpose and problem-specific algorithms.

How Lockdown changed my life

#artificialintelligence

I am a student at ICT, Mumbai which is one of the India's finest college to study Chemical Technology and Chemistry but my passion always has been Mathematics and Computing. Unfortunately due to my score in JEE I could not get into Computing and I had to take up ICT .I took ICT mainly because of the reason that it is one of the finest colleges of India and people look up to you when you tell them you are a student at ICT. My passion for coding did not stop even after entering ICT and I used to browse courses on Udemy relating to Python, JAVA and various other related stuff. I remember purchasing a course on Udemy relating to JAVA by a well known instructor Tim Buchalka and getting used to stuff like IntelliJ for the first time when all my colleagues where enjoying their Freshers. Coding always has been that get away thing for me which never fails to bring a smile on my face.
