Learning Optimal Resource Allocations in Wireless Systems
Eisen, Mark, Zhang, Clark, Chamon, Luiz F. O., Lee, Daniel D., Ribeiro, Alejandro
This paper considers the design of optimal resource allocation policies in wireless communication systems which are generically modeled as a functional optimization problem with stochastic constraints. These optimization problems have the structure of a learning problem in which the statistical loss appears as a constraint, motivating the development of learning methodologies to attempt their solution. To handle stochastic constraints, training is undertaken in the dual domain. It is shown that this can be done with small loss of optimality when using near-universal learning parameterizations. In particular, since deep neural networks (DNN) are near-universal their use is advocated and explored. DNNs are trained here with a model-free primal-dual method that simultaneously learns a DNN parametrization of the resource allocation policy and optimizes the primal and dual variables. Numerical simulations demonstrate the strong performance of the proposed approach on a number of common wireless resource allocation problems.
Learning Gaussian Policies from Corrective Human Feedback
Wout, Daan, Scholten, Jan, Celemin, Carlos, Kober, Jens
Learning from human feedback is a viable alternative to control design that does not require modelling or control expertise. Particularly, learning from corrective advice garners advantages over evaluative feedback as it is a more intuitive and scalable format. The current state-of-the-art in this field, COACH, has proven to be a effective approach for confined problems. However, it parameterizes the policy with Radial Basis Function networks, which require meticulous feature space engineering for higher order systems. We introduce Gaussian Process Coach (GPC), where feature space engineering is avoided by employing Gaussian Processes. In addition, we use the available policy uncertainty to 1) inquire feedback samples of maximal utility and 2) to adapt the learning rate to the teacher's learning phase. We demonstrate that the novel algorithm outperforms the current state-of-the-art in final performance, convergence rate and robustness to erroneous feedback in OpenAI Gym continuous control benchmarks, both for simulated and real human teachers.
Microsoft Rolls Out Free AI Courses Geared Toward Business Leaders
The free instructional videos and case studies focus on the less technical aspects of the technology as it applies to top execs attempting to integrate AI, including strategy, company culture and ethical responsibilities, into their operations. They're the latest in a series of instructional materials Microsoft has released as it looks to address a general lack of educational resources and talent in the AI field. The material was inspired by conversations Microsoft has had over the past three years with client executives, whom the company said felt there was a dearth of educational resources on AI that reached beyond the nuts-and-bolts technical level, according to Mitra Azizirad, Microsoft's corporate vp of AI marketing and productization. "[The goal] really was to approach the very distinct business needs that we saw all of our business leaders have been asking about over and over again," Azizirad said. "We wanted to make sure we were meeting the needs of business leaders and really empowering them, no matter where they were on their journey, to drive an AI transformation with a focus on strategy, culture and governance."
Mark Zuckerberg wants to build a 'brain-computer interface' that can read your THOUGHTS
Facebook is developing technology that could soon make it possible to read your mind. CEO Mark Zuckerberg detailed how the Silicon Valley giant is researching a'brain-computer interface' in an interview with Harvard law school professor Jonathan Zittrain, according to Wired. In the near future, this system would allow users to interact with augmented reality environments using just their brain - no keyboards, touchscreens or hand gestures required. Facebook is developing technology that could soon make it possible to read your mind. CEO Mark Zuckerberg detailed how the firm is researching a'brain-computer interface' The concept that Zuckerberg envisions would allow users to navigate menus, move objects in an AR room or even type words with their brain.

The 4 Types of Artificial Intelligence: What Educators Should Know - The Tech Edvocate
When we talk about artificial intelligence, we are talking about the development and ability of intelligent machine systems to perform simple or complex tasks that are usually performed by humans. Also, some of these intelligent machine systems can exhibit behavioral and emotional reactions that are distinctly human. However, as educators, we need to understand artificial intelligence on a deeper level, not just on the surface. If we stop at a surface definition and understanding, we will miss out on all of the amazing things that this technology can do for the field of education. As a first step let's discuss what the 4 types of artificial intelligence are and what educators should know about them.
