Sampling using $SU(N)$ gauge equivariant flows

arXiv.org Machine Learning

In Ref. [11], this approach was demonstrated in the Gauge theories based on SU(N) or U(N) groups describe context of U(1) gauge theory. Here, we develop a class of many aspects of nature. For example, the Standard kernels for SU(N) group elements (and describe a similar Model of nuclear and particle physics is a nonabelian construction for U(N) group elements). We show that if gauge theory with the symmetry group U(1) an invertible transformation acts only on the eigenvalues SU(2) SU(3), candidate theories for physics beyond the of a matrix and is equivariant under permutation of those Standard Model can be defined based on strongly interacting eigenvalues, then it is equivariant under matrix conjugation SU(N) gauge theories [1, 2], SU(N) gauge symmetries and may be used as a kernel. Moreover, by making emerge in various condensed matter systems [3-7], a connection to the maximal torus within the group and and SU(N) and U(N) gauge symmetries feature in the to the Weyl group of the root system, we show that this low energy limit of certain string-theory vacua [8]. In is in fact a universal way to define a kernel for unitary the context of the rapidly-developing area of machinelearning groups.


Measuring the Complexity of Domains Used to Evaluate AI Systems

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

There is currently a rapid increase in the number of challenge problem, benchmarking datasets and algorithmic optimization tests for evaluating AI systems. However, there does not currently exist an objective measure to determine the complexity between these newly created domains. This lack of cross-domain examination creates an obstacle to effectively research more general AI systems. We propose a theory for measuring the complexity between varied domains. This theory is then evaluated using approximations by a population of neural network based AI systems. The approximations are compared to other well known standards and show it meets intuitions of complexity. An application of this measure is then demonstrated to show its effectiveness as a tool in varied situations. The experimental results show this measure has promise as an effective tool for aiding in the evaluation of AI systems. We propose the future use of such a complexity metric for use in computing an AI system's intelligence.


Principles and Practice of Explainable Machine Learning

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) provides many opportunities to improve private and public life. Discovering patterns and structures in large troves of data in an automated manner is a core component of data science, and currently drives applications in diverse areas such as computational biology, law and finance. However, such a highly positive impact is coupled with significant challenges: how do we understand the decisions suggested by these systems in order that we can trust them? In this report, we focus specifically on data-driven methods -- machine learning (ML) and pattern recognition models in particular -- so as to survey and distill the results and observations from the literature. The purpose of this report can be especially appreciated by noting that ML models are increasingly deployed in a wide range of businesses. However, with the increasing prevalence and complexity of methods, business stakeholders in the very least have a growing number of concerns about the drawbacks of models, data-specific biases, and so on. Analogously, data science practitioners are often not aware about approaches emerging from the academic literature, or may struggle to appreciate the differences between different methods, so end up using industry standards such as SHAP. Here, we have undertaken a survey to help industry practitioners (but also data scientists more broadly) understand the field of explainable machine learning better and apply the right tools. Our latter sections build a narrative around a putative data scientist, and discuss how she might go about explaining her models by asking the right questions.


Future of AI Part 2

#artificialintelligence

This part of the series looks at the future of AI with much of the focus in the period after 2025. The leading AI researcher, Geoff Hinton, stated that it is very hard to predict what advances AI will bring beyond five years, noting that exponential progress makes the uncertainty too great. This article will therefore consider both the opportunities as well as the challenges that we will face along the way across different sectors of the economy. It is not intended to be exhaustive. AI deals with the area of developing computing systems which are capable of performing tasks that humans are very good at, for example recognising objects, recognising and making sense of speech, and decision making in a constrained environment. Some of the classical approaches to AI include (non-exhaustive list) Search algorithms such as Breath-First, Depth-First, Iterative Deepening Search, A* algorithm, and the field of Logic including Predicate Calculus and Propositional Calculus. Local Search approaches were also developed for example Simulated Annealing, Hill Climbing (see also Greedy), Beam Search and Genetic Algorithms (see below). Machine Learning is defined as the field of AI that applies statistical methods to enable computer systems to learn from the data towards an end goal. The term was introduced by Arthur Samuel in 1959. A non-exhaustive list of examples of techniques include Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, K-Means, k-Nearest Neighbour (kNN), Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Trees, Random Forests, XG Boost, Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM), CatBoost. Deep Learning refers to the field of Neural Networks with several hidden layers. Such a neural network is often referred to as a deep neural network. Neural Networks are biologically inspired networks that extract abstract features from the data in a hierarchical fashion.

Voice assistants are doing a poor job of conveying information about voting

#artificialintelligence

Over 111.8 million people in the U.S. talk to voice assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant every month, eMarketer estimates. Tens of millions of those people use assistants as data-finding tools, with the Global Web Index reporting that 25% of adults regularly perform voice searches on smartphones. But while voice assistants can answer questions about pop culture and world events like a pro, preliminary evidence suggests they struggle to supply information about elections. In a test of popular assistants' abilities to provide accurate, localized context concerning the upcoming U.S. presidential election, VentureBeat asked Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant a set of standardized questions about procedures, deadlines, and misconceptions about voting. In general, the assistants fared relatively poorly, often answering questions with information about voting in other states or punting questions to the web instead of answering them directly. In light of historic misinformation efforts around the election, the shortcomings have the potential to sow confusion or hamper get-out-the-vote efforts -- especially among those with accessibility challenges who rely heavily on voice assistants.


Leaders versus Laggards in AI: Latest Findings on Generating ROI from AI

#artificialintelligence

The gap between leaders versus laggards in AI has widened significantly in the last 6 months, even as leaders are investing big time on pilot projects to transform business teams with AI and Deep Learning. In a powerful survey finding, market research firm ESI ThoughtLab has found out APAC region leads (14.1 Billion USD) in average revenue earned through the adoption of AI applications in 2020. North America ($13.9 billion) and EU ($12.7 Billion) have also reported significant revenue growth from AI adoption. Laggards in AI can drive home success with AI investments by developing a culture of learning and sharing knowledge. ESI ThoughtLab reports AI leaders are constantly amplifying their data science talent pool by acquiring AI businesses.


Fake Data Could Help Solve Machine Learning's Bias Problem--if We Let It

Slate

Data is the lifeblood of artificial intelligence, and despite estimates that the world will generate more data over the next three years than it has in the previous 30, there still isn't enough of it to supply the booming A.I. industry. Amazon can predict your buying habits because its algorithms are trained on the data collected from its 112 million Prime subscribers in the U.S. and the tens of millions of other people around the world who visit the site and use its other products on a regular basis. Google's advertising business depends on predictive models fueled by the billions of internet searches it processes each day and data from the 2.5 billion devices running the Android operating system. The tech giants have carved out these massive data monopolies, and that gives them near-impenetrable advantages in the field of A.I. So how is a small A.I. startup to train its models to compete?

Intellectual Property rewards people for creativity and innovation. It is crucial to the proper functioning of an innovative economy. The UK is voted one of the best IP environments in the world. To keep it that way we are keen to look ahead to the challenges that new technologies bring. We need to make sure the UK's IP environment is adapted to accommodate them.


Artificial Intelligence Could be a Silver Bullet for Tax Systems

#artificialintelligence

Court documents released in August revealed that Swiss tax officials are investigating art dealer and freeport magnate Yves Bouvier for allegedly concealing CHF 330 million in profits. The Swiss authorities believe that Bouvier used a fictitious residence in Singapore to evade taxes in his home country, and confiscated one of Bouvier's properties, reportedly worth CHF 4.5 million, as a pledge while they continue investigating his finances. The investigation, however, was nearly derailed in its early stages due to a single vulnerable tax official. An escort girl known only as Sarah has testified that in September 2017, Yves Bouvier sent her to a conference to seduce a key official with Switzerland's Federal Tax Administration. Sarah's honeypot adventure took place mere months after Swiss tax officials had begun looking into Bouvier's finances.
