No Student Should Have to Sit Through a Zoom Lecture
On a Thursday afternoon in February, I watched my students at the whiteboard. Gaby was drawing a series of cartoons and a list of the kinds of animals that had been sent into space by different countries across the decades. She didn't look at her notes: She drew from memory. Next to her, Olan was drawing images and words about the major groupings of physiological questions researchers had been trying to answer, including the effects of microgravity on heart and lungs, and the intensity of the stresses of launch. With my co-instructor professor Evgenya Shkolnik, I teach a class called "Inquiry," where the subject matter changes every semester, but what's really being taught is ways of independent learning and problem-solving.
How To Approach Your First AI/Machine Learning Problem
You may have learnt a lot of theory regarding Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and found it interesting. But there's nothing like seeing the models and algorithms work on real data and produce results, is there? There's a lot of material out there teaching you how to go about writing your first ML program and stuff, but what I found in most of the cases is that there's not much step-by-step guidance on how to go about approaching a particular problem. Well-written code is pretty much everywhere but methodology is lacking, which is equally important as learning how to write a program. So I decided to write on the well-known beginner's introduction to the AI world - Iris Flowers Classification Problem.
The Spectrum of Fisher Information of Deep Networks Achieving Dynamical Isometry
Hayase, Tomohiro, Karakida, Ryo
The Fisher information matrix (FIM) is fundamental for understanding the trainability of deep neural networks (DNN) since it describes the local metric of the parameter space. We investigate the spectral distribution of the FIM given a single input by focusing on fully-connected networks achieving dynamical isometry. Then, while dynamical isometry is known to keep specific backpropagated signals independent of the depth, we find that the parameter space's local metric depends on the depth. In particular, we obtain an exact expression of the spectrum of the FIM given a single input and reveal that it concentrates around the depth point. Here, considering random initialization and the wide limit, we construct an algebraic methodology to examine the spectrum based on free probability theory, which is the algebraic wrapper of random matrix theory. As a byproduct, we provide the solvable spectral distribution in the two-hidden-layer case. Lastly, we empirically confirm that the spectrum of FIM with small batch-size has the same property as the single-input version. An experimental result shows that FIM's dependence on the depth determines the appropriate size of the learning rate for convergence at the initial phase of the online training of DNNs.
Normal-bundle Bootstrap
Such a phenomenon is summed up in the manifold distribution hypothesis, and can be exploited in probabilistic learning. Here we present normal-bundle bootstrap (NBB), a method that generates new data which preserve the geometric structure of a given data set. Inspired by algorithms for manifold learning and concepts in differential geometry, our method decomposes the underlying probability measure into a marginalized measure on a learned data manifold and conditional measures on the normal spaces. The algorithm estimates the data manifold as a density ridge, and constructs new data by bootstrapping projection vectors and adding them to the ridge. We apply our method to the inference of density ridge and related statistics, and data augmentation to reduce overfitting.
Future musicians could be trained by AI โ By Matthew Griffin Futurist and Keynote Speaker
Created by scientists at Pompeu Fabra University in Spain the new system was trained using a gesture-recognising Myo armband that tracked the arm movements of a professional violinist as she used the Dรฉtachรฉ, Martelรฉ, Spiccato, Ricochet, Sautillรฉ, Staccato and Bariolage bow techniques. Audio of the performances was recorded at the same time. The Machine Learning based algorithm then compared the arm movements to the corresponding audio, determining which movements created which sounds, within each technique. When the system was subsequently tasked with identifying the technique that a violinist was using, it could do so with an accuracy of over 94 percent. It is now hoped that once developed further the technology could be used to provide students with real-time feedback, showing them where their form deviates from that of the pros, and once the technology's refined then it won't be just constrained to teaching people how to play the violin โ you can imagine it being used to help athletes up their game, and myriads of other applications. The research, which was led by David Dalmazzo and Rafael Ramรญrez, is described in a paper that was recently published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology.

AI could take over day-to-day legal work from lawyers in 3-5 years, shows survey
Legal professionals and aspiring lawyers may soon start facing competition from artificial intelligence (AI) which could take over day-to-day tasks in the next three to five years. A survey by BML Munjal University (BMU) School of Law and legal search/consulting firm Vahura showed that 90 percent of the respondents (lawyers) foresee use of digitisation and technology in the sector. The survey titled'Decoding the Next - Gen Legal Professional' sought to capture the practitioners' perspective of the practice of law and to identify the relevant skills required of lawyers in the rapidly transforming legal environment in India. In an interaction with Moneycontrol, Nigam Nuggehalli, professor and dean of the BMU School of Law said that tasks like due diligence that is traditionally done by legal professionals could be taken over by AI. "In areas like due diligence which requires detailed inspection, maybe AI can do it better," he added. According to the survey, technology solutions in the legal space may replace some human roles at the entry-level by way of automating repetitive and standardized work but are expected to augment others such as reviewing documents more efficiently.
