Basu, Sandipan, Gaddala, Aravind, Chetan, Pooja, Tiwari, Garima, Darapaneni, Narayana, Parvathaneni, Sadwik, Paduri, Anwesh Reddy
This project attempts to build a Question- Answering system in the News Domain, where Passages will be News articles, and anyone can ask a Question against it. We have built a span-based model using an Attention mechanism, where the model predicts the answer to a question as to the position of the start and end tokens in a paragraph. For training our model, we have used the Stanford Question and Answer (SQuAD 2.0) dataset[1]. To do well on SQuAD 2.0, systems must not only answer questions when possible but also determine when no answer is supported by the paragraph and abstain from answering. Our model architecture comprises three layers- Embedding Layer, RNN Layer, and the Attention Layer. For the Embedding layer, we used GloVe and the Universal Sentence Encoder. For the RNN Layer, we built variations of the RNN Layer including bi-LSTM and Stacked LSTM and we built an Attention Layer using a Context to Question Attention and also improvised on the innovative Bidirectional Attention Layer. Our best performing model which uses GloVe Embedding combined with Bi-LSTM and Context to Question Attention achieved an F1 Score and EM of 33.095 and 33.094 respectively. We also leveraged transfer learning and built a Transformer based model using BERT. The BERT-based model achieved an F1 Score and EM of 57.513 and 49.769 respectively. We concluded that the BERT model is superior in all aspects of answering various types of questions.
From Human-Computer Interaction to Human-AI Interaction: New Challenges and Opportunities for Enabling Human-Centered AI
Xu, Wei, Dainoff, Marvin J., Ge, Liezhong, Gao, Zaifeng
While AI has benefited humans, it may also harm humans if not appropriately developed. We conducted a literature review of current related work in developing AI systems from an HCI perspective. Different from other approaches, our focus is on the unique characteristics of AI technology and the differences between non-AI computing systems and AI systems. We further elaborate on the human-centered AI (HCAI) approach that we proposed in 2019. Our review and analysis highlight unique issues in developing AI systems which HCI professionals have not encountered in non-AI computing systems. To further enable the implementation of HCAI, we promote the research and application of human-AI interaction (HAII) as an interdisciplinary collaboration. There are many opportunities for HCI professionals to play a key role to make unique contributions to the main HAII areas as we identified. To support future HCI practice in the HAII area, we also offer enhanced HCI methods and strategic recommendations. In conclusion, we believe that promoting the HAII research and application will further enable the implementation of HCAI, enabling HCI professionals to address the unique issues of AI systems and develop human-centered AI systems.
Initializing LSTM internal states via manifold learning
Kemeth, Felix P., Bertalan, Tom, Evangelou, Nikolaos, Cui, Tianqi, Malani, Saurabh, Kevrekidis, Ioannis G.
We present an approach, based on learning an intrinsic data manifold, for the initialization of the internal state values of LSTM recurrent neural networks, ensuring consistency with the initial observed input data. Exploiting the generalized synchronization concept, we argue that the converged, "mature" internal states constitute a function on this learned manifold. The dimension of this manifold then dictates the length of observed input time series data required for consistent initialization. We illustrate our approach through a partially observed chemical model system, where initializing the internal LSTM states in this fashion yields visibly improved performance. Finally, we show that learning this data manifold enables the transformation of partially observed dynamics into fully observed ones, facilitating alternative identification paths for nonlinear dynamical systems.

Practical Linear Regression in R for Data Science in R
This course teaches you about the most common & popular technique used in Data Science & Machine Learning: Linear Regression. You will learn the theory as well as applications of different types of linear regression models. At the end of the course, you will completely understand and know how to apply & implement in R linear models, how to run model's diagnostics, and how to know if the model is the best fit for your data, how to check the model's performance and to make predictions. Linear regression is the simplest machine learning (and thus deep learning) model you can learn, yet there is so much depth that you'll be returning to it for years to come. Learn how to test the model's fit, how to select the most suitable linear models for your data, and make predictions You'll start by absorbing the most valuable Linear Regression basics, and techniques and slowly moving to more complex assignments.
Machine Learning Bootcamp in Python with 5 Capstone Projects
This course is a perfect fit for you. This course will take you step by step into the world of Machine Learning. Machine Learning is the study of computer algorithms that automates analytical model building. It is a branch of Artificial Intelligence based on the idea that systems can learn from data, identify patterns and make decisions with minimal human intervention. Machine Learning is actively being used today, perhaps in many more places than one world expects.
Ultimate Data Science Bootcamp in Python with 5 Projects
Data Science is an interdisciplinary field that uses scientific methods, algorithms to extract clean information from raw data for the formulation of actionable insights. This field is growing so rapidly, and revolutionizing so many industries. It has incalculable benefits in business, research, and our everyday lives. Your route to work, your most recent Google search for the nearest coffee shop, your Instagram post about what you ate, and even the health data from your fitness tracker are all important to different data scientists in different ways. Sifting through massive lakes of data, looking for connections and patterns, data science is responsible for bringing us new products, delivering breakthrough insights, and making our lives more convenient.
How To Build A Computer Vision Model Using AutoML
Are you thinking of learning programming languages like C, Python or R to work on machine learning projects? AutoML could save you all the time and effort. Lately, Automated machine learning or AutoML has become a popular solution to build computer vision systems. The tech communities are awash with conversations around AutoML as to how it will change the way machine learning is done with limited or no coding knowledge. From autonomous vehicles to handwritten text recognition, face recognition, personalised recommendations, and diagnosing from x-ray images, computer vision is transforming industries globally.
Opinion: Regulations and common sense must pace machine learning
The first Industrial Revolution used steam and water to mechanize production. The second, the Technological Revolution, offered standardization and industrialization. The third capitalized on electronics and information technology to automate production. Now a fourth Industrial Revolution, our modern Digital Age, is building on the third; expanding exponentially, it is disrupting and transforming our lives, while evolving too fast for governance, ethics and management to keep pace. Most high school graduates have been exposed to information technology through personal computers, word processing software and their phones. Nonetheless, the digital divide separates the tech savvy from the tech illiterate, driven by disparities in access to technology for pre-K to 12 students based on where they live and socioeconomic realities.
