In this paper, we propose a new stochastic algorithmic framework to solve stochastic composite nonconvex optimization problems that covers both finite-sum and expectation settings. Our algorithms rely on the SARAH estimator introduced in (Nguyen et al., 2017a) and consist of two steps: a proximal gradient step and an averaging step that are different from existing nonconvex proximal-type algorithms. The algorithms only require a smoothness assumption of the nonconvex objective term. In the finite-sum case, we show that our algorithm achieves optimal convergence rate by matching the lower-bound worst-case complexity, while in the expectation case, it attains the best-known convergence rate under only standard smoothness and bounded variance assumptions. One key step of our algorithms is a new constant step-size that helps to achieve desired convergence rate. Our step-size is much larger than existing methods including proximal SVRG schemes in the single sample case. We generalize our algorithm to mini-batches for both inner and outer loops, and adaptive step-sizes. We also specify the algorithm to the non-composite case that covers and dominates existing state-of-the-arts in terms of convergence rate. We test the proposed algorithms on two composite nonconvex optimization problems and feedforward neural networks using several well-known datasets.

We study a non-linear statistical inverse learning problem, where we observe the noisy image of a quantity through a non-linear operator at some random design points. We consider the widely used Tikhonov regularization (or method of regularization, MOR) approach to reconstruct the estimator of the quantity for the non-linear ill-posed inverse problem. The estimator is defined as the minimizer of a Tikhonov functional, which is the sum of a data misfit term and a quadratic penalty term. We develop a theoretical analysis for the minimizer of the Tikhonov regularization scheme using the ansatz of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. We discuss optimal rates of convergence for the proposed scheme, uniformly over classes of admissible solutions, defined through appropriate source conditions.

Kimberly Krawczyk says she would do anything to keep her students safe. But one of the unconventional responses the local Broward County school district has said could stop another tragedy has left her deeply unnerved: an experimental artificial-intelligence system that would surveil her students closer than ever before. The South Florida school system, one of the largest in the country, said last month it would install a camera-software system called Avigilon that would allow security officials to track students based on their appearance: With one click, a guard could pull up video of everywhere else a student has been recorded on campus. The 145-camera system, which administrators said will be installed around the perimeters of the schools deemed "at highest risk," will also automatically alert a school-monitoring officer when it senses events "that seem out of the ordinary" and people "in places they are not supposed to be." The supercharged surveillance network has raised major questions for some students, parents and teachers, like Krawczyk, who voiced concerns about its accuracy, invasiveness and effectiveness. Her biggest doubt: that the technology could ever understand a school campus like a human can.

The What: Sony has launched its first Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based Edge Analytics solution, the REA-C1000, which allows users to create video content in real time, without the need for specialized training, additional staff, or equipment. The What Else: The compact and lightweight REA-C1000 uses AI-based video analytics technology to analyze the input it receives from connected cameras and automatically extracts the object in focus to combine it with other images in real time on a GPU (Graphics Processor Unit). This technology, using motion/face detection and color/shape recognition, effectively makes the REA-C1000 the brain of any connected camera and AV setup, allowing education, government, and corporate organizations to create professional content that keeps audiences engaged. "Video content has become a key method of communication in many organizations, including education, government, and corporate environments, where the demand for solutions that create high-quality content, offer a hassle-free shooting experience, and help distribute content quickly is rapidly increasing," said Mark Bonifacio, director of education sales and marketing, Sony Electronics. "At Sony, we want to provide organizations that have a limited budget with solutions that are cost-effective, yet allow them to easily create professional and engaging video content. The REA-C1000 is yet another example of Sony working with our AV partners in corporate, education, and government organizations to create solutions that help solve real-life technology and budget challenges."

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is upon us, and we're already seeing massive changes in workplace connectivity, collaboration, productivity and (of course) technology. One of the biggest changes is the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI). From automation and virtual assistants to systems capable of analyzing massive data sets to find trends, AI represents one the biggest opportunities that business leaders can take advantage of now to ready themselves for the future. The number of enterprises implementing AI has already grown 270 percent in the past four years, according to a Gartner survey of more than 3,000 CIOs. So "if you are a CIO and your organization doesn't use AI, chances are high that your competitors do and this should be a concern," said Gartner analyst Chris Howard.

Artificial intelligence, or AI, is largely an experimental science—at least as much progress has been made by building and analyzing programs as by examining theoretical questions. MYCIN is one of several well-known programs that embody some intelligence and provide data on the extent to which intelligent behavior can be programmed. As with other AI programs, its development was slow and not always in a forward direction. But we feel we learned some useful lessons in the course of nearly a decade of work on MYCIN and related programs. In this book we share the results of many experiments performed in that time, and we try to paint a coherent picture of the work. The book is intended to be a critical analysis of several pieces of related research, performed by a large number of scientists. We believe that the whole field of AI will benefit from such attempts to take a detailed retrospective look at experiments, for in this way the scientific foundations of the field will gradually be defined. It is for all these reasons that we have prepared this analysis of the MYCIN experiments.

The Ministry Human Resource Department, in a press release, said that several national tech universities in the country have set up AI centres for education and research and development. These universities include the Indian Institutes of Technology in Kharagpur and Madras and the Indian Institute of Information Technology Design and Manufacturing in Kancheepuram. Also involved are the National Institute of Technology in Silchar and the National Institute of Technology in Bhopal. Their centres will offer courses related to AI, for example, in deep learning foundations and applications, reinforcement learning, probabilistic reasoning, predictive and prescriptive data analytics, system identification, physical cybersecurity, and digital image processing. India's acts and statutes that govern these institutions allow them to freely collaborate with institutions and universities across the world for academic and research.
