Ready-to-Use Geospatial Deep Learning Models

#artificialintelligence

With the fire hose of imagery that's streaming daily from a variety of sensors, the need for using artificial intelligence (AI) to automate feature extraction is only increasing. The ability to train more than a dozen deep learning models on geospatial datasets and derive information products has been available using the ArcGIS API for Python or ArcGIS Pro, and users can scale up processing using ArcGIS Image Server. Esri is taking AI to the next level with ready-to-use geospatial AI models in the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World. Initially, three models have been made available. Two of the models use satellite imagery.

Geometric Deep Learning: Grids, Groups, Graphs, Geodesics, and Gauges

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The last decade has witnessed an experimental revolution in data science and machine learning, epitomised by deep learning methods. Indeed, many high-dimensional learning tasks previously thought to be beyond reach -- such as computer vision, playing Go, or protein folding -- are in fact feasible with appropriate computational scale. Remarkably, the essence of deep learning is built from two simple algorithmic principles: first, the notion of representation or feature learning, whereby adapted, often hierarchical, features capture the appropriate notion of regularity for each task, and second, learning by local gradient-descent type methods, typically implemented as backpropagation. While learning generic functions in high dimensions is a cursed estimation problem, most tasks of interest are not generic, and come with essential pre-defined regularities arising from the underlying low-dimensionality and structure of the physical world. This text is concerned with exposing these regularities through unified geometric principles that can be applied throughout a wide spectrum of applications. Such a 'geometric unification' endeavour, in the spirit of Felix Klein's Erlangen Program, serves a dual purpose: on one hand, it provides a common mathematical framework to study the most successful neural network architectures, such as CNNs, RNNs, GNNs, and Transformers. On the other hand, it gives a constructive procedure to incorporate prior physical knowledge into neural architectures and provide principled way to build future architectures yet to be invented.


[R] Rip van Winkle's Razor: A Simple Estimate of Overfit to Test Data

#artificialintelligence

Abstract: Traditional statistics forbids use of test data (a.k.a. Dwork et al. 2015 pointed out that current practices in machine learning, whereby researchers build upon each other's models, copying hyperparameters and even computer code -- amounts to implicitly training on the test set. Thus error rate on test data may not reflect the true population error. This observation initiated {\em adaptive data analysis}, which provides evaluation mechanisms with guaranteed upper bounds on this difference. In this work, we present a simple new estimate, {\em Rip van Winkle's Razor}. It relies upon a new notion of \textquotedblleft information content\textquotedblright\ of a model: the amount of information that would have to be provided to an expert referee who is intimately familiar with the field and relevant science/math, and who has been just been woken up after falling asleep at the moment of the creation of the test data (like \textquotedblleft Rip van Winkle\textquotedblright\ of the famous fairy tale).


Greatest Female AI Influencers in the Data Science World in 2021

#artificialintelligence

Data science has proven to be successful in addressing a wide range of real-world issues, and it is increasingly being used across industries to enable more intelligent and well-informed decision-making. There is a need for intelligent machines that can understand human actions and job habits as the use of computers for day-to-day business and personal operations expands. This pushes big data analytics and data science to the foreground. Women have made enormous advances in AI research in recent years. In this article, Analytics Insight presents you the list of Greatest Female AI Influencers in the Data Science World in 2021.

Recommended Reading: Pixar's masterful use of color

Engadget

If you've ever wondered how Pixar has become a master manipulation of your emotions during its animated films, color and light adjustments are two key elements you may not have noticed. In an excerpt from his book Full Spectrum: How the Science of Color Made Us Modern, Rogers explains how the studio is pushing the boundaries of what screens can even display, and that soon the effects could be "a function of pure cognition, different for every viewer, existing only in the mind, then fading to nothingness." Scientific advances offer all kinds of possibilities for living longer lives, but as the global population approaches eight billion, both sides of the longevity argument face questions about the appropriate way to proceed. In an article adapted from her recent book Atlas of AI, Crawford explains why relying on facial recognition to determine a person's emotional state isn't accurate. Even though tech companies continue to argue otherwise, the ability of AI to assess emotion based on facial expressions is far from an exact science.
