Silva, P. H. O., Cerqueira, A. S., Nepomuceno, E. G.
Therefore, if the input variables (features) have a larger number The progressive development of modern technology, comprised compared to the number of training data, in some cases of computer and internet applications, generates it can result in complex and ineffective models. Basically, large amounts of data at an unprecedented speed, such the generalizability of the classifier may not be enough, as videos, photos, texts, voices, and data obtained from being necessary to extract and select features to improve the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud the generalizability.
DMIDAS: Deep Mixed Data Sampling Regression for Long Multi-Horizon Time Series Forecasting
Challu, Cristian, Olivares, Kin G., Welter, Gus, Dubrawski, Artur
Neural forecasting has shown significant improvements in the accuracy of large-scale systems, yet predicting extremely long horizons remains a challenging task. Two common problems are the volatility of the predictions and their computational complexity; we addressed them by incorporating smoothness regularization and mixed data sampling techniques to a well-performing multi-layer perceptron based architecture (NBEATS). We validate our proposed method, DMIDAS, on high-frequency healthcare and electricity price data with long forecasting horizons (~1000 timestamps) where we improve the prediction accuracy by 5% over state-of-the-art models, reducing the number of parameters of NBEATS by nearly 70%.
Green AI Seeks to Connect Compute Power to Carbon Emissions - AI Trends
One team of researchers has developed an emissions calculator to estimate the energy use and environmental impact of training machine learning models. AI researcher Alexandra Luccioni of the University of Montreal and Mila, collaborated on that study. "This is definitely something that people are working on, be it via more efficient GPUs or by guying renewable energy credits for the carbon that was produced by neural network training," she stated in a recent account in Nature Machine Intelligence. "Using renewable energy grids for training neural networks is the single biggest change that can be made. It can make emissions vary by a factor of 40, between a fully renewable grid and a fully coal grid," she stated.
Sunny spells: How SunPower puts solar on your roof with AI Platform
How we help Designing a solar power system for a home is a process that relies on factors unique to each home. First, we model the roof in three dimensions to account for obstructions such as chimneys and vents. Second, we lay legally-mandated access walkways and place solar panels on the roof segments. Finally, we model the angle and exposure of sunlight hitting the roof to calculate the system's potential energy production. With Instant Design, we replicate this same process by leveraging tools including machine learning and optimization.

In recent years, Google's autonomous cars have logged thousands of miles on American highways and IBM's Watson trounced the best human Jeopardy! Digital technologies--with hardware, software, and networks at their core--will in the near future diagnose diseases more accurately than doctors can, apply enormous data sets to transform retailing, and accomplish many tasks once considered uniquely human. In The Second Machine Age MIT's Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee--two thinkers at the forefront of their field--reveal the forces driving the reinvention of our lives and our economy. As the full impact of digital technologies is felt, we will realize immense bounty in the form of dazzling personal technology, advanced infrastructure, and near-boundless access to the cultural items that enrich our lives. What is the Internet of Things?
Full Stack Software Engineer - Jungle AI
Running a flexible Machine Learning engine at scale is hard. We must ingest and process large volumes of data uninterruptedly and store it in a scalable manner. The data needs to be prepared and served to hundreds of models constantly. All the predictions of the models, as well as other data pipelines, must be stored and reachable for our web application(s) to present the generated insights to our customers. We work on the system that delivers this functionality and also allows the machine learning engineers to deliver new and improved models at ease, manage existing models, monitor these models, and many different interactions, all of which are crucial to day to day operations.
Highlighting the Importance of Reducing Research Bias and Carbon Emissions in CNNs
Badar, Ahmed, Varma, Arnav, Staniec, Adrian, Gamal, Mahmoud, Magdy, Omar, Iqbal, Haris, Arani, Elahe, Zonooz, Bahram
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have become commonplace in addressing major challenges in computer vision. Researchers are not only coming up with new CNN architectures but are also researching different techniques to improve the performance of existing architectures. However, there is a tendency to over-emphasize performance improvement while neglecting certain important variables such as simplicity, versatility, the fairness of comparisons, and energy efficiency. Overlooking these variables in architectural design and evaluation has led to research bias and a significantly negative environmental impact. Furthermore, this can undermine the positive impact of research in using deep learning models to tackle climate change. Here, we perform an extensive and fair empirical study of a number of proposed techniques to gauge the utility of each technique for segmentation and classification. Our findings restate the importance of favoring simplicity over complexity in model design (Occam's Razor). Furthermore, our results indicate that simple standardized practices can lead to a significant reduction in environmental impact with little drop in performance. We highlight that there is a need to rethink the design and evaluation of CNNs to alleviate the issue of research bias and carbon emissions.
A Hybrid APM-CPGSO Approach for Constraint Satisfaction Problem Solving: Application to Remote Sensing
Ayadi, Zouhayra, Boulila, Wadii, Farah, Imed Riadh
Constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) has been actively used for modeling and solving a wide range of complex real-world problems. However, it has been proven that developing efficient methods for solving CSP, especially for large problems, is very difficult and challenging. Existing complete methods for problem-solving are in most cases unsuitable. Therefore, proposing hybrid CSP-based methods for problem-solving has been of increasing interest in the last decades. This paper aims at proposing a novel approach that combines incomplete and complete CSP methods for problem-solving. The proposed approach takes advantage of the group search algorithm (GSO) and the constraint propagation (CP) methods to solve problems related to the remote sensing field. To the best of our knowledge, this paper represents the first study that proposes a hybridization between an improved version of GSO and CP in the resolution of complex constraint-based problems. Experiments have been conducted for the resolution of object recognition problems in satellite images. Results show good performances in terms of convergence and running time of the proposed CSP-based method compared to existing state-of-the-art methods.
GM's Cruise can give California passengers fully driverless rides
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has issued GM's Cruise the permit needed to be able to give passengers a ride without a driver behind the wheel. It's the first time (PDF) the commission has issued a permit of this kind, and it's a significant milestone for the CPUC's Autonomous Vehicle Passenger Service Pilot Programs. Waymo and Cruise's other rivals already have "drivered" permits from the regulator, but they also have to secure this "driverless" permit to enable fully autonomous rides with passengers onboard. That said, Cruise can't start charging customers just yet. As Prashanthi Raman, Cruise's director of Government Affairs, explained to TechCrunch: "In order to launch a commercial service for passengers here in the state of California, you need both the California DMV and the California PUC to issue deployment permits. Today we are honored to have been the first to receive a driverless autonomous service permit to test transporting passengers from the California PUC."
