Online Multi-horizon Transaction Metric Estimation with Multi-modal Learning in Payment Networks

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Predicting metrics associated with entities' transnational behavior within payment processing networks is essential for system monitoring. Multivariate time series, aggregated from the past transaction history, can provide valuable insights for such prediction. The general multivariate time series prediction problem has been well studied and applied across several domains, including manufacturing, medical, and entomology. However, new domain-related challenges associated with the data such as concept drift and multi-modality have surfaced in addition to the real-time requirements of handling the payment transaction data at scale. In this work, we study the problem of multivariate time series prediction for estimating transaction metrics associated with entities in the payment transaction database. We propose a model with five unique components to estimate the transaction metrics from multi-modality data. Four of these components capture interaction, temporal, scale, and shape perspectives, and the fifth component fuses these perspectives together. We also propose a hybrid offline/online training scheme to address concept drift in the data and fulfill the real-time requirements. Combining the estimation model with a graphical user interface, the prototype transaction metric estimation system has demonstrated its potential benefit as a tool for improving a payment processing company's system monitoring capability.


LIFELIKE CONVERSATIONS WITH AI

#artificialintelligence

The old school rule-based chatbots often gave a frustrating experience with their rigid conversation structure. These chatbots often don't register previous user interactions as they are powered by simple Machine Learning Technology called pattern making. The rule-based chatbots are trained to answer questions that are fed i.e. meaning you must ask questions with an exact word match that the chatbot is trained with. This is a thing of the past with new generation chatbots powered by Artificial Intelligence and NLP technologies. Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence have progressed to a point where talking to a bot feels as natural as speaking to another person.


Introduction To Artificial Intelligence In The Workplace

#artificialintelligence

This short course will explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) will impact a workplace from an L&D and HR perspective. You will learn the gap in skillsets that are required for the future workforce. We will explore the benefits and pitfalls of AI and what organisations need to do. You will learn the basics of Artificial Intelligence and how L&D is the main driver for this transformational change and the importance of AI Ethics Codes of Practice. Covering some of the key topics that you can easily implement when your organisation goes through a technological transformation.


Tech without humanities 'ends in situations like that of Uighurs'

#artificialintelligence

Forging ahead with technological advances in society without the input of the humanities leads to situations like the plight of the Uighurs in China or "obscene" military uses for technology, according to a groundbreaking scientist. Geoffrey Hinton (pictured below), seen as one of the pioneers of modern artificial intelligence for his decades-old research on deep learning and neural networks, also told Times Higher Education's World Academic Summit โ€“ held online in partnership with the University of Toronto on 1-3 September โ€“ that he was "very happy" if universities use big science grants to help fund the humanities. The distinguished emeritus professor at Toronto โ€“ who was hired part time by Google in 2013 and is now a vice-president and engineering fellow at the tech giant โ€“ said that although technology "allows us to create lots of goodies", other disciplines were vital for helping society determine how to use such advances. "How those goodies get distributed and used depends on things that aren't technology, that depends on social decisions about how we should divide things up and those are really important," he said in an interview with THE editor John Gill. A "technologically advanced society but without the humanities" then leads to problems, he said, adding that "modern China is a bit like that; you get things like the Uighurs in western China", subjected to high-tech and intensive surveillance by the Chinese state.


PhD Studies in Informatics, Computer Science - Norway

#artificialintelligence

All employees are expected to contribute to excellence through high quality research and teaching. The working environment for this position will be at the Machine Learning and the Algorithms research groups. The person appointed in this position will develop new strategies for discovering rules encoded in neural network models and represent them as an ontology formulated in description logic or a related formalism in knowledge representation. The application and appendices with certified translations into English or a Scandinavian language must be uploaded at Jobbnorge by 28.10.2021. Digitization of businesses, industry, public administration, and education makes informatics play an increasingly important role in the development of the society.

If we want the decision-makers to understand the ethical issues of facial recognition, we need to turn the table:) 'The Flemish Scrollers' is software automatically tagging distracted Belgian politicians when they use their phone on the daily live streams. Every meeting of the Flemish government in Belgium is live-streamed on a YouTube channel. When a Livestream starts the software is searching for phones and tries to identify a distracted politician. This is done with the help of AI and face recognition. For ML/ AI/ Data Science learning materials, please check my previous posts.


5 real AI threats that make The Terminator look like Kindergarten Cop

#artificialintelligence

Every time an AI article finds its way to social media there's hundreds of people invoking the terrifying specter of "SKYNET." SKYNET is a fictional artificial general intelligence that's responsible for the creation of the killer robots from the Terminator film franchise. It was a scary vision of AI's future until deep learning came along and big tech decided to take off its metaphorical belt and really give us something to cry about. At least the people fighting the robots in The Terminator film franchises get to face a villain they can see and shoot at. And that makes it difficult to explain why, based on what's happening now, the real future might be even scarier than the one from those killer robot movies.

Snapchat's new lenses and stickers can teach you basic sign language

Engadget

Snapchat is rolling out new augmented reality lenses and stickers that can give you cursory lessons on sign language. The company has developed the new features as part of its efforts for the Weak of the Deaf with guidance from its Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing team members. Its new AR Lenses use AI and computer vision technology by SignAll, which can recognize and translate American Sign Language. One of the lenses will teach you how to fingerspell, in which you form individual letters with your fingers to spell a word. The other new lenses will teach you how to fingerspell your username, as well as some common words like "love" and "smile." You can scan the Snapcodes below to access them and then share a clip of you signing on the app.


Machine Learning Project on Mushroom Classification whether it's edible or poisonous Part 1 - Projects Based Learning

#artificialintelligence

A mushroom, or toadstool, is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground on soil or on its food source. In this project, looking at the various properties of a mushroom, we will predict whether the mushroom is edible or poisonous. To be more understandable, let's write properties one by one. Also, following image shows mushroom parts as we mentioned above. Welcome to this project on predict whether mushroom is edible or poisonous in Apache Spark Machine Learning using Databricks platform community edition server which allows you to execute your spark code, free of cost on their server just by registering through email id.
