'Algorithmic Reparation' Calls for Racial Justice in AI

WIRED

Forms of automation such as artificial intelligence increasingly inform decisions about who gets hired, is arrested, or receives health care. Examples from around the world articulate that the technology can be used to exclude, control, or oppress people and reinforce historic systems of inequality that predate AI. Now teams of sociologists and computer science researchers say the builders and deployers of AI models should consider race more explicitly, by leaning on concepts such as critical race theory and intersectionality. Critical race theory is a method of examining the impact of race and power first developed by legal scholars in the 1970s that grew into an intellectual movement influencing fields including education, ethnic studies, and sociology. Intersectionality acknowledges that people from different backgrounds experience the world in different ways based on their race, gender, class, or other forms of identity.

Review of the first 3IA assessment on research, training and economic development - Actu IA

#artificialintelligence

On March 29, 2018, during the "AI for Humanity" day, Emmanuel Macron announced the "National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence", inspired by Cedric Villani's report which called for "the awakening of France and Europe" in terms of AI. For France to have a role as a world leader in AI, this report recommended the creation of a network of Interdisciplinary Institutes of Artificial Intelligence. Four three 3IAs were finally selected and financed viaa 1.5 billion euro plan. Following an AMI launched by the French National Research Agency (ANR) in July 2018, the jury selected four 3IA institute projects from the sites of Grenoble, Nice, Paris and Toulouse and requested their labeling. Specificities that do not prevent them from operating as a network and creating excellent conditions for collaboration between public and private, academic research and innovation players of all sizes.

How to Prepare for a Career in Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

To be successful in an Artificial Intelligence career, you must be passionate about the subject. In addition, you should also have a passion for problem-solving and a knack for working with computers. Smart programs can be used for a variety of purposes, from driving cars to managing a company. The first step is to define what AI is. Artificial intelligence is the development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and language comprehension.

Hands-On Reinforcement Learning Course, Part 1 - KDnuggets

#artificialintelligence

This first part covers the bare minimum concept and theory you need to embark on this journey from the fundamentals to cutting edge reinforcement learning (RL), step-by-step, with coding examples and tutorials in Python. In each following chapter, we will solve a different problem with increasing difficulty. Ultimately, the most complex RL problems involve a mixture of reinforcement learning algorithms, optimization, and Deep Learning. You do not need to know deep learning (DL) to follow along with this course. I will give you enough context to get you familiar with DL philosophy and understand how it becomes a crucial ingredient in modern reinforcement learning.


Top Resources for Learning Statistics for Data Science - KDnuggets

#artificialintelligence

Statistics is at the heart of data science, and the link between the two fields keeps growing stronger. It's important to have a deep understanding of statistical concepts if you want to progress far in your career in data science, and that foundation can take a while to build. Springboard's Data Science Career Track is a great starting point, and it should be one of the first steps you take if you're serious about building your skills in this area. Let's take a look at the current state of statistics in data science, and what you can do to accelerate your learning. Some people like to say that machine learning is simply statistics with additional layers, and while that may be an exaggeration, there is still some truth to the statement. And that extends to the general field of data science.


Most Common Machine Learning Tasks - Data Analytics

#artificialintelligence

Data Gathering: Any machine learning problem requires a lot of data for training/testing purposes. Identifying the right data sources and gathering data from these data sources is the key. Data could be found from databases, external agencies, the internet etc. Data Preprocessing: Before starting training the models, it is of utmost importance to prepare data appropriately. As part of data preprocessing, some of the following is done: Data cleaning: Data cleaning requires one to identify attributes having not enough data or attributes which are not having variance.


Counterfactual Memorization in Neural Language Models

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Modern neural language models widely used in tasks across NLP risk memorizing sensitive information from their training data. As models continue to scale up in parameters, training data, and compute, understanding memorization in language models is both important from a learning-theoretical point of view, and is practically crucial in real world applications. An open question in previous studies of memorization in language models is how to filter out "common" memorization. In fact, most memorization criteria strongly correlate with the number of occurrences in the training set, capturing "common" memorization such as familiar phrases, public knowledge or templated texts. In this paper, we provide a principled perspective inspired by a taxonomy of human memory in Psychology. From this perspective, we formulate a notion of counterfactual memorization, which characterizes how a model's predictions change if a particular document is omitted during training. We identify and study counterfactually-memorized training examples in standard text datasets. We further estimate the influence of each training example on the validation set and on generated texts, and show that this can provide direct evidence of the source of memorization at test time.
