When Learning is Hard: 3 Ways to Make it Easier (Guest Post)

#artificialintelligence

Learning is a lifelong process. It starts when we're babies and follows us into old age. Education is essential to our development and to how we see the world. The desire for knowledge starts at a young age through an exploration of one's surroundings, followed by formal education and beyond. Throughout life, we learn to retain information in a certain way and whatever your preferred style is, it's crucial to understand why it works for you. If you understand the basics, you can improve and build on them to further your knowledge.


Build A Search Engine With Python: Computer Science & Python

#artificialintelligence

Unit 2 will take you in more depth in using procedures, loops, and the logical constructs in order to add more functionality to the crawler built-in unit 1. Unit 3 is about managing data through mastering the use of the different data types to be able to create the search engine index. Our biggest goal tho is to learn about computer science, So unit 4 focuses on teaching you how computers store data and how to be cost-effective when doing that. By the end of unit 5, you'll have a better understanding of how programs run and how to implement a hash table for our search engine. Unit 6 will extend the grammar we introduced in unit 1 and will show you how to get the best result for a search query. If the course gets much interaction and feedback, we'll work on units to demonstrate how to code real-world Python applications I hope you're as excited as I'm to start this learning journey, so just the enrollment today and thank me later.


Microsoft's Kate Crawford: 'AI is neither artificial nor intelligent'

The Guardian

Kate Crawford studies the social and political implications of artificial intelligence. She is a research professor of communication and science and technology studies at the University of Southern California and a senior principal researcher at Microsoft Research. Her new book, Atlas of AI, looks at what it takes to make AI and what's at stake as it reshapes our world. You've written a book critical of AI but you work for a company that is among the leaders in its deployment. How do you square that circle?


This is a great moment to look for a new job in Artificial Intelligence.

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is essential because it allows the software to perform human capacities such as understanding, reasoning, planning, communication, and perception in an increasingly effective, efficient, and low-cost manner. In most business sectors, automating these skills opens up new opportunities. With the significant evolution of algorithms, AI is already a reality. Deep Learning algorithms such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), for example, have significantly improved computers' ability to recognize objects in images. In addition, Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) algorithms produce voice recognition systems that outperform humans.


Machine Learning Engineering for Production (MLOps) Specialization

#artificialintelligence

Design an ML production system end-to-end: project scoping, data needs, modeling strategies, and deployment requirements. Establish a model baseline, address concept drift, and prototype how to develop, deploy, and continuously improve a productionized ML application. The Machine Learning Engineering for Production (MLOps) Specialization covers how to conceptualize, build, and maintain integrated systems that continuously operate in production. In striking contrast with standard machine learning modeling, production systems need to handle relentless evolving data. Moreover, the production system must run non-stop at the minimum cost while producing the maximum performance.

AppBuddy: Learning to Accomplish Tasks in Mobile Apps via Reinforcement Learning

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Human beings, even small children, quickly become adept at figuring out how to use applications on their mobile devices. Learning to use a new app is often achieved via trial-and-error, accelerated by transfer of knowledge from past experiences with like apps. The prospect of building a smarter smartphone - one that can learn how to achieve tasks using mobile apps - is tantalizing. In this paper we explore the use of Reinforcement Learning (RL) with the goal of advancing this aspiration. We introduce an RL-based framework for learning to accomplish tasks in mobile apps. RL agents are provided with states derived from the underlying representation of on-screen elements, and rewards that are based on progress made in the task. Agents can interact with screen elements by tapping or typing. Our experimental results, over a number of mobile apps, show that RL agents can learn to accomplish multi-step tasks, as well as achieve modest generalization across different apps. More generally, we develop a platform which addresses several engineering challenges to enable an effective RL training environment. Our AppBuddy platform is compatible with OpenAI Gym and includes a suite of mobile apps and benchmark tasks that supports a diversity of RL research in the mobile app setting.


A call for better unit testing for invariant risk minimisation

arXiv.org Machine Learning

In this paper we present a controlled study on the linearized IRM framework (IRMv1) introduced in Arjovsky et al. (2020). We show that IRMv1 (and its variants) framework can be potentially unstable under small changes to the optimal regressor. This can, notably, lead to worse generalisation to new environments, even compared with ERM which converges simply to the global minimum for all training environments mixed up all together. We also highlight the isseus of scaling in the the IRMv1 setup. Invariant risk minimization (IRM) (Arjovsky et al., 2020) is a machine learning framework whose primary goal is to learn invariances across multiple training environments.


Preservation of the Global Knowledge by Not-True Self Knowledge Distillation in Federated Learning

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In Federated Learning (FL), a strong global model is collaboratively learned by aggregating the clients' locally trained models. Although this allows no need to access clients' data directly, the global model's convergence often suffers from data heterogeneity. This paper suggests that forgetting could be the bottleneck of global convergence. We observe that fitting on biased local distribution shifts the feature on global distribution and results in forgetting of global knowledge. We consider this phenomenon as an analogy to Continual Learning, which also faces catastrophic forgetting when fitted on the new task distribution. Based on our findings, we hypothesize that tackling down the forgetting in local training relives the data heterogeneity problem. To this end, we propose a simple yet effective framework Federated Local Self-Distillation (FedLSD), which utilizes the global knowledge on locally available data. By following the global perspective on local data, FedLSD encourages the learned features to preserve global knowledge and have consistent views across local models, thus improving convergence without compromising data privacy. Under our framework, we further extend FedLSD to FedLS-NTD, which only considers the not-true class signals to compensate noisy prediction of the global model. We validate that both FedLSD and FedLS-NTD significantly improve the performance in standard FL benchmarks in various setups, especially in the extreme data heterogeneity cases.
