AAAS panel focuses on roadmap to 'radical transformation of the AI research enterprise'

#artificialintelligence

When Dan Lopresti and his colleagues talk about the future of artificial intelligence (AI) during their upcoming panel at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), be prepared to imagine a better world. In this world, the full potential of AI is unleashed to benefit society: health care is personalized and accessible through a friendly robot companion; education is customized to offer individualized plans for retraining and skills-building; and, businesses, large and small, operate with previously unheard-of efficiency and provide a level of customer service that can only be dreamed of today. "The question is what are we going to see over the next ten or twenty years break loose as a result of the research, which is assuming the research gets done because of investments made," says Lopresti, a professor of computer science and engineering at Lehigh University. Lopresti is also the incoming Vice Chair of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) Council which, along with the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), spearheaded the creation of "A Twenty-Year Community Roadmap for Artificial Intelligence Research in the U.S." Lopresti will participate in a panel with the authors of the Roadmap and leaders of the initiative that led to it, Yolanda Gil (University of Southern California and President of AAAI) and Bart Selman (Cornell University and President-Elect of AAAI), on Saturday, February 15th at the AAAS annual meeting in Seattle. The Roadmap lays out a case for the best use of resources to fulfill the promise of AI to benefit society.


Academics - Machine Learning - CMU - Carnegie Mellon University

#artificialintelligence

The Machine Learning Department is made up of a multi-disciplinary team of faculty and students across several academic departments. Machine learning is dedicated to furthering the scientific understanding of automated learning and to producing the next generation of tools for data analysis and decision making based on that understanding. Today's demand for expertise in machine learning far exceeds the supply, and this imbalance will become more severe over the coming decade. Students can pursue one of four Ph.D. programs, a Master's program, and an undergraduate Minor, Concentration, or Major. Students can also take classes in the Machine Learning Department without being part of one of its academic programs.

How AI Is Transforming The Field Of Education

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the wonders of the modern world, which isn't going to cease to amaze the most intelligent of human beings. Like other fields, the field of education is also gaining the maximum amount of benefits out of the promises of the AI-powered technology. The said transformation is not about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, but is also relevant to the field of education as a whole. The whole industry of academia sees a transformation because of AI-powered tools and technologies. This article aims to spread a comprehensive level of awareness on the subject of the assistance of AI in the field of education.


Influence marketing's problems can be solved with a machine-learning solution

#artificialintelligence

Social media influencers have become a common tool in a marketeer's toolbox to reach current and potential customers, building awareness, third-party credibility and purchases. But the rapid growth of this channel (in little over 10 years) has brought with it significant debate on its effectiveness and ethics. And those criticisms warrant the introduction of machine learning. Criticisms levelled at the industry and individual influencers have included: a lack of transparency of the effectiveness of influencers, unfilled promises made by those representing influencers, and a lack of knowledge among in-house marketing teams on how to use influencers for their brand effectively. The industry has certainly matured over this time, with steps being taken to address these challenges.


Meet the Humans Behind College Chatbots - EdSurge News

#artificialintelligence

From faculty who deliver classroom lectures to copywriters who create recruitment brochures, colleges employ plenty of professional communicators. These roles often shift as institutions adopt new technologies to better convey information to students. Accordingly, the spread of communication tools powered by artificial intelligence has created a new kind of higher ed job: college chatbot writer. These are the wordsmiths who craft dialogue for chatbot "scripts," the curated conversations that unfold when algorithms correspond with humans. In selecting words, images and emojis, writers not only deliver information, but also establish the voice, identity and character of a college chatbot.


AI in education – #MSFTEduChat TweetMeet on February 18

#artificialintelligence

We've all seen stories about artificial intelligence in the news and on social media. Chat bots, speech recognition, machine translation and self-driving cars are just a few of the real-life examples you may have heard about or even experienced first-hand. The impact that AI decision-making has on the economy, society, education and our emotional well-being is tremendous. This begs the question: how well equipped are today's teachers to prepare their students for a world increasingly impacted by artificial intelligence and machine learning, and what opportunities and concerns do these developments bring to education? All educators are most welcome to join any time after the event.


Online Learning with Imperfect Hints

arXiv.org Machine Learning

We consider a variant of the classical online linear optimization problem in which at every step, the online player receives a "hint" vector before choosing the action for that round. Rather surprisingly, it was shown that if the hint vector is guaranteed to have a positive correlation with the cost vector, then the online player can achieve a regret of $O(\log T)$, thus significantly improving over the $O(\sqrt{T})$ regret in the general setting. However, the result and analysis require the correlation property at \emph{all} time steps, thus raising the natural question: can we design online learning algorithms that are resilient to bad hints? In this paper we develop algorithms and nearly matching lower bounds for online learning with imperfect directional hints. Our algorithms are oblivious to the quality of the hints, and the regret bounds interpolate between the always-correlated hints case and the no-hints case. Our results also generalize, simplify, and improve upon previous results on optimistic regret bounds, which can be viewed as an additive version of hints.


Machine Learning Approaches For Motor Learning: A Short Review

arXiv.org Machine Learning

The use of machine learning to model motor learning mechanisms is still limited, while it could help to design novel interactive systems for movement learning or rehabilitation. This approach requires to account for the motor variability induced by motor learning mechanisms. This represents specific challenges concerning fast adaptability of the computational models, from small variations to more drastic changes, including new movement classes. We propose a short review on machine learning based movement models and their existing adaptation mechanisms. We discuss the current challenges for applying these models in motor learning support systems, delineating promising research directions at the intersection of machine learning and motor learning.


Online Preselection with Context Information under the Plackett-Luce Model

arXiv.org Machine Learning

In machine learning, the notion of multi-armed bandits (MAB) refers to a class of online learning problems, in which a learner is supposed to simultaneously explore and exploit a given set of choice alternatives (metaphorically referred to as "arms") in the course of a sequential decision process (Lattimore and Szepesvári, 2019). In this paper, we consider an extension of the basic setting, which is practically motivated by the problem of preselection as recently introduced by Saha and Gopalan (2018b) and Bengs and Hüllermeier (2019): Instead of selecting a single arm, the learner is only supposed to preselect a promising subset of arms. The final choice is then made by a selector, for example a human user or another algorithm. In information retrieval, for instance, the role of the learner is played by a search engine, and the selector is the user who seeks a certain information. Another application, which served as a concrete motivation of our setting and will also be used in our experimental study, is the problem of algorithm (pre-)selection (Kerschke et al., 2018).
