Chile is a front-runner in Latin America's Artificial Intelligence race

#artificialintelligence

Chile is making its mark in the world, and specifically in the Latin America, with its focus on technology. But as the the country moves closer to its goal, it sees the need for more coordinated policies. That and the desire to build a more "informed and knowledge-based" society prompted the creation of its own Ministry of Science, Technology, Knowledge and Innovation in 2018. Andres Couve has spent his entire career working on research and development. A biologist with a PhD degree in Cell Biology from the prestigious Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, he also holds a post-doctorate in Neuroscience from University College London (UCL).


Intelligence, physics and information -- the tradeoff between accuracy and simplicity in machine learning

arXiv.org Machine Learning

How can we enable machines to make sense of the world, and become better at learning? To approach this goal, I believe viewing intelligence in terms of many integral aspects, and also a universal two-term tradeoff between task performance and complexity, provides two feasible perspectives. In this thesis, I address several key questions in some aspects of intelligence, and study the phase transitions in the two-term tradeoff, using strategies and tools from physics and information. Firstly, how can we make the learning models more flexible and efficient, so that agents can learn quickly with fewer examples? Inspired by how physicists model the world, we introduce a paradigm and an AI Physicist agent for simultaneously learning many small specialized models (theories) and the domain they are accurate, which can then be simplified, unified and stored, facilitating few-shot learning in a continual way. Secondly, for representation learning, when can we learn a good representation, and how does learning depend on the structure of the dataset? We approach this question by studying phase transitions when tuning the tradeoff hyperparameter. In the information bottleneck, we theoretically show that these phase transitions are predictable and reveal structure in the relationships between the data, the model, the learned representation and the loss landscape. Thirdly, how can agents discover causality from observations? We address part of this question by introducing an algorithm that combines prediction and minimizing information from the input, for exploratory causal discovery from observational time series. Fourthly, to make models more robust to label noise, we introduce Rank Pruning, a robust algorithm for classification with noisy labels. I believe that building on the work of my thesis we will be one step closer to enable more intelligent machines that can make sense of the world.


Projection based Active Gaussian Process Regression for Pareto Front Modeling

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Pareto Front (PF) modeling is essential in decision making problems across all domains such as economics, medicine or engineering. In Operation Research literature, this task has been addressed based on multi-objective optimization algorithms. However, without learning models for PF, these methods cannot examine whether a new provided point locates on PF or not. In this paper, we reconsider the task from Data Mining perspective. A novel projection based active Gaussian process regression (P- aGPR) method is proposed for efficient PF modeling. First, P- aGPR chooses a series of projection spaces with dimensionalities ranking from low to high. Next, in each projection space, a Gaussian process regression (GPR) model is trained to represent the constraint that PF should satisfy in that space. Moreover, in order to improve modeling efficacy and stability, an active learning framework has been developed by exploiting the uncertainty information obtained in the GPR models. Different from all existing methods, our proposed P-aGPR method can not only provide a generative PF model, but also fast examine whether a provided point locates on PF or not. The numerical results demonstrate that compared to state-of-the-art passive learning methods the proposed P-aGPR method can achieve higher modeling accuracy and stability.


The Incentives that Shape Behaviour

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Which variables does an agent have an incentive to control with its decision, and which variables does it have an incentive to respond to? We formalize these incentives, and demonstrate unique graphical criteria for detecting them in any single-decision causal influence diagram. To this end, we introduce structural causal influence models, a hybrid of the influence diagram and structural causal model frameworks. Finally, we illustrate how these incentives predict agent incentives in both fairness and AI safety applications.


Top 10 Machine Learning Courses for 2020

#artificialintelligence

With solid roots in statistics, Machine Learning is getting one of the most intriguing and quick-paced computer science fields to work in. There's an unending supply of enterprises and applications machine learning can be applied to make them increasingly proficient and wise. Chatbots, spam filtering, ad serving, search engines, and fraud detection, are among only a couple of instances of how machine learning models support regular day to day life. Machine Learning is the thing that lets us discover patterns and make mathematical models for things that would sometimes be unthinkable for people to do. Not at all like data science courses, which contain subjects like exploratory data analysis, statistics, communication, and visualization techniques, machine learning courses concentrate on teaching just the machine learning algorithms, how they work numerically, and how to use them in a programming language.


Introducing AI-Based Trainers - eLearning Industry

#artificialintelligence

In the last few years, we've been experimenting with humanlike, Artificial Intelligence-based avatars. We integrated these avatars into L&D environments, workplaces, and the academic field. These avatars can act both as personal mentors (or trainers) and as clients or workers in real-world simulations. We wanted to share some of our insights. We believe AI-based trainers are going to dramatically change corporate learning, and empower both trainers and learners.

We are on the lookout for the best and brightest students interested in the intersection of music/audio technology and AI. For this round of applications we are offering a number of scholarships to applicants who are ordinarily resident in the UK (i.e. have lived and studied/worked in the UK at least the last three years โ€“ this includes EU nationals) and a smaller number of scholarships to international students. We have a large number of 4-year PhD studentships available for home, EU and international students starting in September 2020 which will cover the cost of tuition fees and will provide an annual tax-free stipend (ยฃ17,009 in 2019/20). The CDT will also provide funding for conference travel, equipment, and for attending other CDT-related events. Please see the international PhD scholarships page for full details of Queen Mary's international funding partners, including other schemes not listed here.


I had no idea how to write code two years ago. Now I'm an AI engineer.

#artificialintelligence

Two years ago, I graduated college where I studied Economics and Finance. I was all set for a career in finance. Investment Banking and Global Markets -- those were the dream jobs. Months into the job, I picked up some Excel VBA and learnt how to use Tableau, Power BI and UiPath (a Robotics Process Automation software). I realized I was more interested in picking up these tools and learning to code rather than learning about banking products.
