Landing AI: Unlocking The Power Of Data-Centric Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been hugely transformative in industries with access to huge datasets and trained algorithms to analyze and interpret them. Probably the most obvious examples of this success can be found in consumer-facing internet businesses like Google, Amazon, Netflix, or Facebook. Over the last two decades, companies such as these have grown into some of the world's largest and most powerful corporations. In many ways, their growth can be put down to their exposure to the ever-growing volumes of data being churned out by our increasingly digitized society. But if AI is going to unlock the truly world-changing value that many believe it will – rather than simply making some very smart people in Silicon Valley very rich – then businesses in other industries have to consider different approaches.


AIhub coffee corner: AI thanksgiving

AIHub

This month, we take a look at all the things we are thankful for in the AI community. Joining the discussion this time are: Tom Dietterich (Oregon State University), Sabine Hauert (University of Bristol), Holger Hoos (Leiden University), Sarit Kraus (Bar-Ilan University), Michael Littman (Brown University) and Carles Sierra (Artificial Intelligence Research Institute of the Spanish National Research Council). Holger Hoos: I think one can be really grateful that progress in AI has come at a point where we really need it. I think we've maneuvered ourselves as humankind into a situation where the limitations of our own natural intelligence make it very likely that we're going to drive ourselves against the wall. Issues such as climate change are simply too complex for us to figure out, even if you bring lots of smart people together and give them lots of resources.


Top Free AI/Data Science Courses Launched In 2021

#artificialintelligence

The last few years have seen artificial intelligence (AI) as an ever-evolving and rapidly growing space. It has been vastly adopted across sectors and domains not just to study and analyse data or find hidden patterns but to also make meaningful real-life decisions. The global AI market was worth $35.92 billion in 2020. And according to Fortune Business Insights, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 33.6 per cent between 2020 and 2028, to reach a valuation of $360.36 billion in 2028. India itself is expected to invest $1 billion in the AI space by 2023.

Ontology-Based Skill Description Learning for Flexible Production Systems

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The increasing importance of resource-efficient production entails that manufacturing companies have to create a more dynamic production environment, with flexible manufacturing machines and processes. To fully utilize this potential of dynamic manufacturing through automatic production planning, formal skill descriptions of the machines are essential. However, generating those skill descriptions in a manual fashion is labor-intensive and requires extensive domain-knowledge. In this contribution an ontology-based semi-automatic skill description system that utilizes production logs and industrial ontologies through inductive logic programming is introduced and benefits and drawbacks of the proposed solution are evaluated.


Bandit problems with fidelity rewards

arXiv.org Machine Learning

The fidelity bandits problem is a variant of the $K$-armed bandit problem in which the reward of each arm is augmented by a fidelity reward that provides the player with an additional payoff depending on how 'loyal' the player has been to that arm in the past. We propose two models for fidelity. In the loyalty-points model the amount of extra reward depends on the number of times the arm has previously been played. In the subscription model the additional reward depends on the current number of consecutive draws of the arm. We consider both stochastic and adversarial problems. Since single-arm strategies are not always optimal in stochastic problems, the notion of regret in the adversarial setting needs careful adjustment. We introduce three possible notions of regret and investigate which can be bounded sublinearly. We study in detail the special cases of increasing, decreasing and coupon (where the player gets an additional reward after every $m$ plays of an arm) fidelity rewards. For the models which do not necessarily enjoy sublinear regret, we provide a worst case lower bound. For those models which exhibit sublinear regret, we provide algorithms and bound their regret.


Learning Algebraic Representation for Systematic Generalization in Abstract Reasoning

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Is intelligence realized by connectionist or classicist? While connectionist approaches have achieved superhuman performance, there has been growing evidence that such task-specific superiority is particularly fragile in systematic generalization. This observation lies in the central debate between connectionist and classicist, wherein the latter continually advocates an algebraic treatment in cognitive architectures. In this work, we follow the classicist's call and propose a hybrid approach to improve systematic generalization in reasoning. Specifically, we showcase a prototype with algebraic representation for the abstract spatial-temporal reasoning task of Raven's Progressive Matrices (RPM) and present the ALgebra-Aware Neuro-Semi-Symbolic (ALANS) learner. The ALANS learner is motivated by abstract algebra and the representation theory. It consists of a neural visual perception frontend and an algebraic abstract reasoning backend: the frontend summarizes the visual information from object-based representation, while the backend transforms it into an algebraic structure and induces the hidden operator on the fly. The induced operator is later executed to predict the answer's representation, and the choice most similar to the prediction is selected as the solution. Extensive experiments show that by incorporating an algebraic treatment, the ALANS learner outperforms various pure connectionist models in domains requiring systematic generalization. We further show that the algebraic representation learned can be decoded by isomorphism to generate an answer.

Machine learning improves Arabic speech transcription capabilities

MIT Technology Review

Thanks to advancements in speech and natural language processing, there is hope that one day you may be able to ask your virtual assistant what the best salad ingredients are. Currently, it is possible to ask your home gadget to play music, or open on voice command, which is a feature already found in some many devices. If you speak Moroccan, Algerian, Egyptian, Sudanese, or any of the other dialects of the Arabic language, which are immensely varied from region to region, where some of them are mutually unintelligible, it is a different story. If your native tongue is Arabic, Finnish, Mongolian, Navajo, or any other language with high level of morphological complexity, you may feel left out. These complex constructs intrigued Ahmed Ali to find a solution.
