Bayesian Incremental Learning for Deep Neural Networks

arXiv.org Machine Learning

In industrial machine learning pipelines, data often arrive in parts. Particularly in the case of deep neural networks, it may be too expensive to train the model from scratch each time, so one would rather use a previously learned model and the new data to improve performance. However, deep neural networks are prone to getting stuck in a suboptimal solution when trained on only new data as compared to the full dataset. Our work focuses on a continuous learning setup where the task is always the same and new parts of data arrive sequentially. We apply a Bayesian approach to update the posterior approximation with each new piece of data and find this method to outperform the traditional approach in our experiments.


Google Cloud chief scientist: 'AI doesn't belong to just a few tech giants in Silicon Valley'

#artificialintelligence

Silicon Valley may be behind much of the development of AI in the modern world, but it's vital that everyone feel included in the technology, said Fei-Fei Li, Google Cloud chief scientist for AI. "It's time to bring AI together with social science, with humanities, to really study the profound impact of AI to our society, to our legal system, to our organizations, to our society to democracy, to education, to our ethics," Li said. "Again I stress: AI doesn't belong to just a few tech giants in Silicon Valley, and these few companies in Silicon Valley have a responsibility to harness AI for the good of everyone, but they also have the responsibility to work with everybody, recognize we don't know it all, and to include everybody. "This is a historical moment, and we have a tremendous opportunity and responsibility and to really think about how to remedy this problem." Li delivered her remarks today in a discussion with former White House CTO and Shift7 CEO Megan Smith.


5 Things to Know Before Rushing to Start in Data Science

@machinelearnbot

Matrix calculations, derivatives, eigenvalues, Set Theory, functions, vectors, linear transformations, etc. are extremely important to understand the theory behind statistical methods and programming. Therefore, before starting your next MOOC or Machine Learning book it's crucial to review all those concepts again. Most schools request students to be proficient at these methods in order to graduate, but the silver lining is that it won't require too much of your time to refresh or obtain this knowledge. There are plenty of resources to start, but what worked for me was The Manga Guide to Linear Algebra, which is very simple, graphic and provides a great foundation prior getting into more complex stuff. My suggestion is to schedule some weeks to review these concepts and to use the Feynman Technique to be able to explain in simple terms each of these topics. One of the issues people face today when trying to get into a field such as Data Science is Information Overload, a term used when talking in relation to the effect of having too many resources at the disposal.

What Is Machine Learning? Google's Free Course Breaks It Down for You

#artificialintelligence

If you still don't get what artificial intelligence is all about, you may want to start by exploring these Google AI experiments. That may just interest you enough to take the next big step: learning more about AI. Google has designed a free online course to teach you the fundamentals of machine learning, and it's accessible to anyone with an internet connection. Google's free Machine Learning course doesn't ask you to jump straight in--you can use the filters at the beginning to narrow your focus according to your needs, including the type of content you would like to learn from and the stage of development you would like to start with. According to Google, anyone looking for educational content from Google's machine learning experts can find it here, whether you're looking fo advanced tutorials and materials on TensorFlow or just curious about the basics of AI.


Algorithmic learning of probability distributions from random data in the limit

arXiv.org Machine Learning

We study the problem of identifying a probability distribution for some given randomly sampled data in the limit, in the context of algorithmic learning theory as proposed recently by Vinanyi and Chater. We show that there exists a computable partial learner for the computable probability measures, while by Bienvenu, Monin and Shen it is known that there is no computable learner for the computable probability measures. Our main result is the characterization of the oracles that compute explanatory learners for the computable (continuous) probability measures as the high oracles. This provides an analogue of a well-known result of Adleman and Blum in the context of learning computable probability distributions. We also discuss related learning notions such as behaviorally correct learning and orther variations of explanatory learning, in the context of learning probability distributions from data.


Video game ratings should just be a start for parents

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

Blaming violence on video games over-simplifies a deeply complicated issue. If you're wondering whether the video game your child is playing is appropriate, there's a long-standing rating system in place to guide you. But that system, established in 1994 after Senate hearings into violence in video games, is "good but not perfect," says Jeff Haynes, senior editor for video games at Common Sense Media, a non-profit group that curates its own library of ratings and reviews of games, movies apps, TV shows and other content. What that means is parents need to be especially vigilant when it comes to assessing whether the games their children play are appropriate. "The biggest thing we constantly try to push is know your kids and know the content your kids are playing and get involved with what your kids are interested in," Haynes says.


Universities Deploy Chatbots to Aid Students in the Admissions Process and Beyond

Chatbots assist people daily with everything from ordering pizza to dealing with customer service issues. So, it's no surprise that higher education institutions are embracing them to interact with their No. 1 customer: students. Whether it's navigating the admissions process or scheduling classes, universities have embraced artificial intelligence to streamline student interactions and offer timely support.
