'Learning' is still the operative word in machine learning initiatives ZDNet

#artificialintelligence

The hype machine for AI and machine learning has been going full throttle, and one can be forgiven for thinking that every organization from the mega-techs to the corner store is turning over processes or decisions to AI. If you're still stuck trying to figure out how AI and machine learning can fit into your operations, don't worry -- so is everyone else, actually. Companies may be increasing their investments in machine learning and machine learning development, but, for the most part, are still in the early learning stages. That's the major takeaway from a survey of 750 technology managers and professionals released by Algorithmia, which specializes in such things. Survey respondents represent companies that are actively engaged in building machine learning lifecycles.

One-Shot Induction of Generalized Logical Concepts via Human Guidance

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

We consider the problem of learning generalized first-order representations of concepts from a single example. To address this challenging problem, we augment an inductive logic programming learner with two novel algorithmic contributions. First, we define a distance measure between candidate concept representations that improves the efficiency of search for target concept and generalization. Second, we leverage richer human inputs in the form of advice to improve the sample-efficiency of learning. We prove that the proposed distance measure is semantically valid and use that to derive a P AC bound. Our experimental analysis on diverse concept learning tasks demonstrates both the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach over a first-order concept learner using only examples.


On Theory of Model-Agnostic Meta-Learning Algorithms

#artificialintelligence

Based on a joint work with Aryan Mokhtari, UT Austin, and Asu Ozdaglar, MIT. Imagine sitting in your autonomous car, going for a vacation. Your vehicle should follow the directions provided by the navigation app, and also use multiple sensors to monitor other vehicles, road signs, street light, etc. As a result, during the course of your journey, your car might need to take actions within a few seconds, such as turning or stopping. The question is how should your vehicle be programmed to be able to adapt to the new tasks within a short amount of time and limited data.

On the Apparent Conflict Between Individual and Group Fairness

arXiv.org Machine Learning

A distinction has been drawn in fair machine learning research between'group' and'individual' fairness measures. Many tec hnical research papers assume that both are important, but conflict ing, and propose ways to minimise the tradeoffs between these mea - sures. This paper argues that this apparent conflict is based on a misconception. It draws on theoretical discussions from within the fair machine learning research, and from political and legal philosophy, to argue that individual and group fairness are not fun da-mentally in conflict. First, it outlines accounts of egalita rian fairness which encompass plausible motivations for both group a nd individual fairness, thereby suggesting that there need be no conflict in principle. Second, it considers the concept of individual justice, from legal philosophy and jurisprudence which seems similar but actually contradicts the notion of individual fairness as proposed in the fair machine learning literature. The conclusi on is that the apparent conflict between individual and group fair ness is more of an artefact of the blunt application of fairness measures, rather than a matter of conflicting principles. In practice, this conflict may be resolved by a nuanced consideration of the sources of'unfairness' in a particular deployment context, and the ca refully justified application of measures to mitigate it.


A Non-Technical Reading List for Data Science - KDnuggets

#artificialintelligence

Contrary to what some data scientists may like to believe, we can never reduce the world to mere numbers and algorithms. When it comes down to it, decisions are made by humans, and being an effective data scientist means understanding both people and data. When OPower, a software company, wanted to get people to use less energy, they provided customers with plenty of stats about their electricity usage and cost. However, the data alone were not enough to get people to change. In addition, OPower needed to take advantage of behavioral science, namely, studies showing people were driven to reduce energy when they received smiley emoticons on their bills showing how they compare to their neighbors!


World's First AI University Has More Than 3200 Applicants Already

#artificialintelligence

According to media reports more than 3,200 students have applied for the school in the first week admissions were open. Many of the applicants came from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Egypt, India, and China. In October Abu Dhabi announced the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, which will enable graduate students, businesses, and governments to advance AI. The university is named after the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who is an advocate for developing human capital through science. The school aims to create a new model of academia and research for AI and to "unleash AI's full potential."

These were the most popular online courses in India in 2019

#artificialintelligence

For India's online learners, 2019 was the "Year of AI." Artificial Intelligence (AI) emerged as the most popular subject among e-learners, accounting for nearly two million enrollments in the last year alone, according to online learning platform Coursera's latest learner trends released yesterday (Dec. The analysis included 45 million learners, including five million Indians, on the platform. AI became accessible to the masses with AI For Everyone, which was launched in February this year by deeplearning.ai, Taught by Ng himself, AI For Everyone is described as a "primer course, geared toward non-technical learners--from marketers and designers to financiers and CEOs." It was the fifth most popular Coursera course of the year globally, and the fourth most popular in India.
