In principle, meta-reinforcement learning algorithms leverage experience across many tasks to learn fast reinforcement learning (RL) strategies that transfer to similar tasks. However, current meta-RL approaches rely on manually-defined distributions of training tasks, and hand-crafting these task distributions can be challenging and time-consuming. Can "useful" pre-training tasks be discovered in an unsupervised manner? We develop an unsupervised algorithm for inducing an adaptive meta-training task distribution, i.e. an automatic curriculum, by modeling unsupervised interaction in a visual environment. The task distribution is scaffolded by a parametric density model of the meta-learner's trajectory distribution. We formulate unsupervised meta-RL as information maximization between a latent task variable and the meta-learner's data distribution, and describe a practical instantiation which alternates between integration of recent experience into the task distribution and meta-learning of the updated tasks. Repeating this procedure leads to iterative reorganization such that the curriculum adapts as the meta-learner's data distribution shifts. In particular, we show how discriminative clustering for visual representation can support trajectory-level task acquisition and exploration in domains with pixel observations, avoiding pitfalls of alternatives. In experiments on vision-based navigation and manipulation domains, we show that the algorithm allows for unsupervised meta-learning that transfers to downstream tasks specified by hand-crafted reward functions and serves as pre-training for more efficient supervised meta-learning of test task distributions.

Layers are Python functions that take Tensors and configuration options as input and produce other tensors as output. Once the necessary Tensors have been composed, the user can convert the result into an Estimator via a model function.

The AI training course comprises of various modules specially curated by the trainers to give the whole picture along with strong foundation base to the students. The current and future demand for AI professionals is stunning. The New York Times reports a guaranteed competitor deficiency for AI Engineers, with less than 10,000 qualified individuals on the planet to fill these employments. The compensation scale is crazy. As indicated by New York Times, AI specialists, including the PhDs or engineers with few years of experience, can be paid from $300,000 to $500,000 per year or more in compensation and stock (or Rs.17 lakhs to Rs. 25 lakhs in India and much more).

Kim Il Sung University in the spring of 2017 set up specialist Japanese language and literature courses, it was learned Saturday from the university. The training course for Japanese researchers was established at the prestigious institution in the capital, Pyongyang, at a time when North Korea was repeatedly testing nuclear weapons and launching ballistic missiles, which continued until the fall of 2017 and led to heightened tensions with the United States. There is a possibility that it was judged necessary to strengthen the development of such experts in view of future diplomacy with Japan. Japan and North Korea have no diplomatic relations. The Department of Japanese Language and Literature was established in the university's Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literature.

Recently, it was found that the maximization of MIAS can be used as an intrinsic motivation for artificial agents. In literature, the term empowerment is used to represent the maximum of MIAS at a certain state. While empowerment has been shown to solve a broad range of reinforcement learning problems, its calculation in arbitrary dynamics is a challenging problem because it relies on the estimation of mutual information. Existing approaches, which rely on sampling, are limited to low dimensional spaces, because high-confidence distribution-free lower bounds for mutual information require exponential number of samples. In this work, we develop a novel approach for the estimation of empowerment in unknown dynamics from visual observation only, without the need to sample for MIAS. The core idea is to represent the relation between action sequences and future states using a stochastic dynamic model in latent space with a specific form. This allows us to efficiently compute empowerment with the "Water-Filling" algorithm from information theory. We construct this embedding with deep neural networks trained on a sophisticated objective function. Our experimental results show that the designed embedding preserves information-theoretic properties of the original dynamics.

In the wake of the May 2018 mass shooting that resulted in 10 deaths at Santa Fe (Texas) High School, the Santa Fe Independent School District looked at all possible options to improve school safety within reasonable financial constraints. The district considered the idea of technology to enhance its approximately 750 cameras with facial recognition but did not immediately see a workable solution -- for reasons of cost, and concerns about shaky accuracy that could lead to false positives, says Kip Robins, director of technology for Santa Fe ISD, which has about 4,500 students. The district ultimately contracted with a company called AnyVision, which demonstrated its Better Tomorrow product, an artificial-intelligence-based application that plugs into an existing camera network and provides the ability to do surveillance based on a certain face, body or object. School districts or other end users can create a watch list to keep an eye out for potential pedophiles, for example, or someone known to be mentally unstable. The Santa Fe ISD's solution is part of a growing cadre of software offerings that use artificial intelligence to power through reams of data and notice certain predetermined visual information – whether it's someone's face, or a certain license plate, or simply human movement in a place and time where there shouldn't be any.

Mumbai-based edtech startup GreyAtom has raised $1.2 Mn in its Pre-series A round led by Montane Ventures. GreyAtom's existing investor, Pravega Ventures, and cofounder of BrowserStack, Ritesh Arora, also participated in the funding round. With the recently raised funds, GreyAtom plans to diversify its technology courses line up to include courses on front end engineering, back end engineering, and test automation. The company also plans to expand its footprint across the country. Founded in 2017 by Shweta Doshi, Mitul Thakkar and Mayuresh Shilotri, GreyAtom provides online and offline education to learners, especially working professionals, to pivot careers in emerging technologies like machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), data science and full-stack engineering through an end to end learning and career preparation process.

In my first article on signal processing using machine learning, I introduced Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Independent Component Analysis (ICA) for dimensionality reduction. We were able to see how these methods can be used to reduce the number of features in our data. However, they are linear methods: they do not always perform well when there are nonlinear relationships within our data. This is where manifold learning comes in. A manifold is any space that is locally Euclidean.
