Statistical inference of assortative community structures

arXiv.org Machine Learning

These approaches, however, concept (for which there are many). Historically, most are based on general mixing patterns, which include community detection methods proposed have focused on assortativity only as a special case. In many ways this the detection of assortative communities, i.e. groups of is useful, and in fact arguably superior, since if assortativity nodes that tend to be more connected to themselves than happens to be the dominating pattern, then the to other nodes in the network. However, there are also general approach will capture it, otherwise it will reveal a community detection methods that are more general, and different structure. However, having only a more general attempt to cluster together nodes that have similar patterns method at our disposal also has its shortcomings. First, of connection, regardless if they are assortative or if it is true that assortativity is the main pattern for a not [3-5]. The widespread use of assortative community class of networks, then the more general representation detection methods has lead to the belief that the presence is needlessly wasteful for them, since it not only gives us of communities is a pervasive feature of many different more than we need, but in doing so it prevents us from kinds of real networks [6]. Although the concept of assortativity focusing on the more central features, at the cost of algorithmic is a central one in the study of social networks precision. Second, with a more general method (known as "homophily" in that context) [7], and is also an it can be difficult to quantify precisely how much has appealing construct in biology [8-10], it is to some extent been wasted in the representation, and what is indeed unclear if the perceived assortativity of many networks the simpler pattern hiding inside it.


Learning What to Defer for Maximum Independent Sets

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Designing efficient algorithms for combinatorial optimization appears ubiquitously in various scientific fields. Recently, deep reinforcement learning (DRL) frameworks have gained considerable attention as a new approach: they can automate the design of a solver while relying less on sophisticated domain knowledge of the target problem. However, the existing DRL solvers determine the solution using a number of stages proportional to the number of elements in the solution, which severely limits their applicability to large-scale graphs. In this paper, we seek to resolve this issue by proposing a novel DRL scheme, coined learning what to defer (LwD), where the agent adaptively shrinks or stretch the number of stages by learning to distribute the element-wise decisions of the solution at each stage. We apply the proposed framework to the maximum independent set (MIS) problem, and demonstrate its significant improvement over the current state-of-the-art DRL scheme. We also show that LwD can outperform the conventional MIS solvers on large-scale graphs having millions of vertices, under a limited time budget.


Context-aware Dynamics Model for Generalization in Model-Based Reinforcement Learning

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Model-based reinforcement learning (RL) enjoys several benefits, such as data-efficiency and planning, by learning a model of the environment's dynamics. However, learning a global model that can generalize across different dynamics is a challenging task. To tackle this problem, we decompose the task of learning a global dynamics model into two stages: (a) learning a context latent vector that captures the local dynamics, then (b) predicting the next state conditioned on it. In order to encode dynamics-specific information into the context latent vector, we introduce a novel loss function that encourages the context latent vector to be useful for predicting both forward and backward dynamics. The proposed method achieves superior generalization ability across various simulated robotics and control tasks, compared to existing RL schemes.

AI And Brain Scans Target American Schools

#artificialintelligence

Ultra-creepy technology that George Orwell could not have imagined in his most terrifying nightmares is invading government-school classrooms -- and children's minds -- all around the world. While many of the Big Brother innovations are coming out of Communist China, they are making their way into American schools quickly as well. In a video report by the Wall Street Journal on artificial intelligence in Communist Chinese schools, children in a communist indoctrination camp masquerading as a school are shown wearing bands around their heads. The devices feature colored lights on the front that indicate for the "teacher" whether the child is paying attention or distracted. Red is for "deeply focused."


Why we built a platform for machine learning engineering -- not data science

#artificialintelligence

About a year ago, a few of us began working on an open source machine learning platform, Cortex. Our motivation was simple: Building an application out of a model was a terrible experience full of glue code and boilerplate, and we wanted a tool that abstracted it all away. While we're very proud of our work on Cortex, we are just one piece of a trend we've seen accelerate over the last year, and that is the growth of the machine learning engineering ecosystem. Companies are hiring MLEs faster than ever, and the projects being released are getting better and better. While this is very exciting to us, we still frequently hear the question "What is machine learning engineering?"

Transparent AI Will Revolutionize Online Learning

#artificialintelligence

Walter Bender, the Chief Learning Architect at Sorcero and the founder of Sugar Labs and One Laptop One Child, shared with IBL News how transparent AI will revolutionize online learning following his talk at the Open edX conference last month in San Diego. The main goal, he posits, is "to leverage what makes us human to become part of the learning process." His talk, "Beyond the Black Box: How Transparent AI can Transform Learning," focused on the strides that Sorcero is making with AI and online learning. With his extensive experience in academia and accessible and open online education, he says his experiences were "a case study for transparency, for providing tools and a framework." The natural extension from this was to switch gears and talk about AI, the "tool du jour in machine learning these days."
