Yann LeCun, a deep learning pioneer, has said that the most important development in recent years has been adversarial training, referring to GANs. GAN stands for generative adversarial network, where 2 neural networks compete with each other. Unsupervised learning means we're not trying to map input data to targets, we're just trying to learn the structure of that input data. Once we've learned that structure, we can do some pretty cool things.

During the last decade, Machine Learning (ML) has increasingly become a hot topic in the field of Computer Networks and is expected to be gradually adopted for a plethora of control, monitoring and management tasks in real-world deployments. This poses the need to count on new generations of students, researchers and practitioners with a solid background in ML applied to networks. During 2020, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has organized the "ITU AI/ML in 5G challenge'', an open global competition that has introduced to a broad audience some of the current main challenges in ML for networks. This large-scale initiative has gathered 23 different challenges proposed by network operators, equipment manufacturers and academia, and has attracted a total of 1300+ participants from 60+ countries. This paper narrates our experience organizing one of the proposed challenges: the "Graph Neural Networking Challenge 2020''. We describe the problem presented to participants, the tools and resources provided, some organization aspects and participation statistics, an outline of the top-3 awarded solutions, and a summary with some lessons learned during all this journey. As a result, this challenge leaves a curated set of educational resources openly available to anyone interested in the topic.

Artificial intelligence is a very interesting topic that evokes a lot of emotions. This is due to the fact that the development of new technologies involves many opportunities and threats. Some artificial intelligence technologies have been around for a long time, but advances in computational power and numerical optimization routines, the availability of huge amounts of data, have led to great breakthroughs in this field. Artificial intelligence is widely used to provide personalized recommendations when shopping or simply searching for information on the web. More advanced inventions include autonomous self-driving cars -- which, in a simplified way, make decisions about the next movements of vehicles based on data collected from various types of sensors installed in them.

On his first day as Los Angeles schools superintendent, Austin Beutner visited 11 campuses in 12 hours, boarding a school bus before dawn and later slinging aside his suit jacket to take afternoon batting practice. In his last weeks, he hopscotched around the reopened district, talking up summer school in South L.A. and showcasing robotics at Roosevelt High on the Eastside. A former Wall Street executive with no experience in education management, Beutner wanted to see schools and be seen at schools; those visits, he said, energized him. Yet his tenure would be defined by events outside the classroom, in ways no one imagined when he was appointed chief of the nation's second-largest school district in 2018. At the time, he was seen as a controversial choice who, for better or worse, was going to shake things up. Instead, the coronavirus pandemic threw the district into unprecedented turmoil.

I have been thinking a little about the impact of the digital technologies on education, it has been significant and with the advent pandemic ubiquitous. I am interested in NLProc (Natural Language Processing) and have been pondering it's applications in pedagogy and education a little. These brought back some memories of what can loosely be considered my Edtech Adventures. Around 2007, digital lessons, whether power point presentations or the interactive programs that had to be paid for started becoming part of our school's teaching plans. I am not sure if they helped the teachers teach better, nonetheless their presence in the lesson plans increased.

An applicant who has received a Degree of Doctor or has the equivalent academic expertise shall be qualified for this appointment. Priority shall be given to a person who has been awarded a doctoral degree or achieved equivalent academic expertise no more than five years before the deadline for applications for employment as assistant professor. A person who has been awarded a doctoral degree or has achieved equivalent expertise at a previous date may, however, be considered in special circumstances. Special circumstances is here used to describe: sick leave, parental leave, and other similar circumstances. Grounds for assessment As grounds for assessment when appointing an assistant professor, the level of proficiency required to qualify for the appointment shall apply.

Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) has been deployed to solve highly non-linear and non-convex machine learning problems such as the training of deep neural networks. However, previous works on SGD often rely on highly restrictive and unrealistic assumptions about the nature of noise in SGD. In this work, we mathematically construct examples that defy previous understandings of SGD. For example, our constructions show that: (1) SGD may converge to a local maximum; (2) SGD may escape a saddle point arbitrarily slowly; (3) SGD may prefer sharp minima over the flat ones; and (4) AMSGrad may converge to a local maximum. Our result suggests that the noise structure of SGD might be more important than the loss landscape in neural network training and that future research should focus on deriving the actual noise structure in deep learning.

Recently, the use of sound measures and metrics in Artificial Intelligence has become the subject of interest of academia, government, and industry. Efforts towards measuring different phenomena have gained traction in the AI community, as illustrated by the publication of several influential field reports and policy documents. These metrics are designed to help decision takers to inform themselves about the fast-moving and impacting influences of key advances in Artificial Intelligence in general and Machine Learning in particular. In this paper we propose to use such newfound capabilities of AI technologies to augment our AI measuring capabilities. We do so by training a model to classify publications related to ethical issues and concerns. In our methodology we use an expert, manually curated dataset as the training set and then evaluate a large set of research papers. Finally, we highlight the implications of AI metrics, in particular their contribution towards developing trustful and fair AI-based tools and technologies. Keywords: AI Ethics; AI Fairness; AI Measurement. Ethics in Computer Science.

Sign language is the only medium of communication for the hearing impaired and the deaf and dumb community. Communication with the general mass is thus always a challenge for this minority group. Especially in Bangla sign language (BdSL), there are 38 alphabets with some having nearly identical symbols. As a result, in BdSL recognition, the posture of hand is an important factor in addition to visual features extracted from traditional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). In this paper, a novel architecture "Concatenated BdSL Network" is proposed which consists of a CNN based image network and a pose estimation network. While the image network gets the visual features, the relative positions of hand keypoints are taken by the pose estimation network to obtain the additional features to deal with the complexity of the BdSL symbols. A score of 91.51% was achieved by this novel approach in test set and the effectiveness of the additional pose estimation network is suggested by the experimental results.
