Bilevel Optimization for Machine Learning: Algorithm Design and Convergence Analysis

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Bilevel optimization has become a powerful framework in various machine learning applications including meta-learning, hyperparameter optimization, and network architecture search. There are generally two classes of bilevel optimization formulations for machine learning: 1) problem-based bilevel optimization, whose inner-level problem is formulated as finding a minimizer of a given loss function; and 2) algorithm-based bilevel optimization, whose inner-level solution is an output of a fixed algorithm. For the first class, two popular types of gradient-based algorithms have been proposed for hypergradient estimation via approximate implicit differentiation (AID) and iterative differentiation (ITD). Algorithms for the second class include the popular model-agnostic meta-learning (MAML) and almost no inner loop (ANIL). However, the convergence rate and fundamental limitations of bilevel optimization algorithms have not been well explored. This thesis provides a comprehensive convergence rate analysis for bilevel algorithms in the aforementioned two classes. We further propose principled algorithm designs for bilevel optimization with higher efficiency and scalability. For the problem-based formulation, we provide a convergence rate analysis for AID- and ITD-based bilevel algorithms. We then develop acceleration bilevel algorithms, for which we provide shaper convergence analysis with relaxed assumptions. We also provide the first lower bounds for bilevel optimization, and establish the optimality by providing matching upper bounds under certain conditions. We finally propose new stochastic bilevel optimization algorithms with lower complexity and higher efficiency in practice. For the algorithm-based formulation, we develop a theoretical convergence for general multi-step MAML and ANIL, and characterize the impact of parameter selections and loss geometries on the their complexities.


RLTutor: Reinforcement Learning Based Adaptive Tutoring System by Modeling Virtual Student with Fewer Interactions

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

A major challenge in the field of education is providing review schedules that present learned items at appropriate intervals to each student so that memory is retained over time. In recent years, attempts have been made to formulate item reviews as sequential decision-making problems to realize adaptive instruction based on the knowledge state of students. It has been reported previously that reinforcement learning can help realize mathematical models of students learning strategies to maintain a high memory rate. However, optimization using reinforcement learning requires a large number of interactions, and thus it cannot be applied directly to actual students. In this study, we propose a framework for optimizing teaching strategies by constructing a virtual model of the student while minimizing the interaction with the actual teaching target. In addition, we conducted an experiment considering actual instructions using the mathematical model and confirmed that the model performance is comparable to that of conventional teaching methods. Our framework can directly substitute mathematical models used in experiments with human students, and our results can serve as a buffer between theoretical instructional optimization and practical applications in e-learning systems.

4 Ways Artificial Intelligence is Revolutionizing Education

#artificialintelligence

Nothing seemed suspect when Jill Watson, a teaching assistant at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), emailed students about assignments and answered questions during Professor Ashok Goel's online knowledge-based artificial intelligence course. In fact, it wasn't until the end of the semester that the students realized they hadn't been emailing a human at all -- they'd been corresponding with a chatbot. Goel had built an artificially intelligent teaching assistant that could answer routine questions so that he and the human teaching assistants could focus on responding to more complex issues, Business Insider reports. And he isn't the only person using artificial intelligence to improve education. The teams at companies including Thinkster Math, Brainly, Content Technologies Inc., and Gradescope are creating artificial intelligence tools to aid students and educators.


Amesite » University Presidents: You Can Spearhead Professional Learning that Drives Revenue

#artificialintelligence

The higher education sector requires an infusion of revenue – and fast. The average aggregate decline in revenues across 2020 and 2021 is estimated at a dramatic 14%, totaling a whopping $183 billion in lost revenue by the beginning of 2021 [1]. To survive, universities must innovate and leverage a market that has a high demand for education at this time-- the alumni market. Alumni markets are 20x the size of undergraduate markets [2]. If your university is not leveraging its relationship with alumni, it is losing substantial potential revenue.

Practical Data Science

#artificialintelligence

In the first course of the Practical Data Science Specialization, you will learn foundational concepts for exploratory data analysis (EDA), automated machine learning (AutoML), and text classification algorithms. With Amazon SageMaker Clarify and Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler, you will analyze a dataset for statistical bias, transform the dataset into machine-readable features, and select the most important features to train a multi-class text classifier. You will then perform automated machine learning (AutoML) to automatically train, tune, and deploy the best text-classification algorithm for the given dataset using Amazon SageMaker Autopilot. Next, you will work with Amazon SageMaker BlazingText, a highly optimized and scalable implementation of the popular FastText algorithm, to train a text classifier with very little code. Practical data science is geared towards handling massive datasets that do not fit in your local hardware and could originate from multiple sources.


NCSU, UNC create artificial intelligence institute with $20M federal grant

#artificialintelligence

CHAPEL HILL – UNC-Chapel Hill and North Carolina State are launching an initiative aiming to utilize artificial intelligence as an educational tool with $20 million in funding from the National Science Foundation. The Artificial Intelligence Institute for Engaged Learning was announced Thursday. The grant covers five years. Other partners include Indiana University and Vanderbilt University as well as Digital Promise, a non-profit. Here's how UNC says the institute will work: "The new institute will create a virtual environment with AI characters and analytical tools for educators to help foster a creative and communicative learning environment for students. Researchers will design a story-based environment where students can interact with engaging AI characters that communicate with speech, facial expression, posture and more. The analytical tools will allow educators to customize scenarios as needed, making a more tailored approach to individual students and their learning style and capability. All these educational AI tools will be informed by ethical considerations of fairness, accountability, transparency, trust and privacy."
