Israeli Universities Struggle to Meet Massive Demand for Artificial Intelligence Programs - The Media Line

#artificialintelligence

Despite being AI powerhouse, Israel's academic institutions find themselves outpaced by thriving industry as many students turn to online classes Israeli universities are struggling to keep up with the demand for academic programs in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, amid a severe shortage of skilled workers in the booming sector. There are presently dozens of AI courses and tracks offered at the undergraduate and master's level in academic institutions across the country. However, there is not enough space to accommodate the number of students wishing to enroll. The lack of sufficient academic staff and programs is exacerbating the already-existing tech talent crunch, estimated at roughly 15,000 workers. Katrina Ligett, an associate professor of computer science and head of the new program on Internet and Society at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, says that programs for cutting-edge technologies like AI are still very young and will need time to catch up.


KMI - KMi Festival - The future of knowledge, learning and media

#artificialintelligence

Conceived in 2013 by Prof. Zdenek Zdrahal, OUAnalyse is a joint collaborative project between the Knowledge Media Institute (KMi), the Institute of Educational Technology (IET) and Data and Student Analytics (DSA). The resulting product of this fruitful collaborative research and development effort is a learning analytics tool, currently available to all undergraduate modules at the OU! Based on trained Machine Learning models, this tool automatically identifies students at risk of failure within the institution. Not only the research behind this tool demonstrates its association with enhanced student performance, but an earlier deployment of this tool at the Czech Technical University has demonstrated its profound impact in terms of increasing retention. The number of failing students in this institution has dropped down by 49% since the 2015/16 academic year, generating an economic saving of more than 1M pounds. The results of OUAnalyse are currently being extended at two other UK universities as part of the the Institute of Coding.

American International School of Medicine Shares How Artificial Intelligence is Enhancing Patient Care

#artificialintelligence

As diligent as doctors must be in their analysis and research, it can be a time-consuming matter, one that can possibly have an adverse effect on a patient's recovery. Artificial intelligence presents doctors with data from multiple resources and thorough analytics that will place the patient on the most suitable route to improvement. Diseases that are less known or encountered may stump a specialist, begging the question as to how they can adequately treat the patient. Having the data combined and easy to scan through via artificial intelligence will only serve the doctor well. It can also help patients avoid further troubles, as certain symptoms may not be associated with their current condition but can be early warning signs of another threat.


Thousands apply to Abu Dhabi AI University in first week

#artificialintelligence

More than 3,000 potential students applied to join Abu Dhabi's artificial intelligence (AI) focused university in the first week that applications were open. Most of the applications to Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) came from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Egypt, India, and China. MBZUAI, based in Masdar City, Abu Dhabi, aims to enable students, businesses and governments to increase the use of AI technology. It is the first university focused only on AI. The current applications are for the academic year 2021-2022, with the first students expected to start in September 2020.

Collaborative Distillation for Top-N Recommendation

arXiv.org Machine Learning

--Knowledge distillation (KD) is a well-known method to reduce inference latency by compressing a cumbersome teacher model to a small student model. Despite the success of KD in the classification task, applying KD to recommender models is challenging due to the sparsity of positive feedback, the ambiguity of missing feedback, and the ranking problem associated with the top-N recommendation. T o address the issues, we propose a new KD model for the collaborative filtering approach, namely collaborative distillation ( CD). Specifically, (1) we reformulate a loss function to deal with the ambiguity of missing feedback. Via experimental results, we demonstrate that the proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art method by 2.7-33.2% Moreover, the proposed model achieves the performance comparable to the teacher model. Neural recommender models [1]-[9] have achieved better performance than conventional latent factor models either by capturing nonlinear and complex correlation patterns among users/items, or by leveraging the hidden features extracted from auxiliary information such as texts and images. However, the number of model parameters of neural models is greater than that of conventional models by one or more orders of magnitude. This indicates a tradeoff between accuracy and efficiency. As a result, neural recommender models usually suffer from higher latency during the inference phase. Our primary goal is to develop a recommender model that achieves a balance between effectiveness and efficiency. In this paper, we employ knowledge distillation (KD) [10] which is a network compression technique by transferring the distilled knowledge of a large model (a.k.a., a teacher model) to a small model (a.k.a., a student model). As the student model can utilize the knowledge transferred from the teacher model, it naturally exhibits the properties of computational efficiency and low memory usage. Therefore, it is capable of achieving a balance between effectiveness and efficiency. Specifically, the training procedure for KD consists of two steps. In the offline training phase, the teacher model is supervised by a training dataset with labels.
