Deep Belief Networks (DBN) and Autoencoders, Let's take a look at DBNs and how they are created on top of RBMs. If you haven't read the previous posts yet, you can read them by clicking the below links. A DBN is a network that was created to overcome a problem that existed in standard artificial neural networks. Backpropagation is a phenomenon that might result in "local minima" or "vanishing gradients." DBN is designed to solve this problem by stacking numerous RBMs.

Surprisingly, we're in an era where Tech is changing the narrative. An era where nearly all manual tasks are being automated. Machine Learning algorithms now help computers drive cars, perform surgeries, and even simulate human intelligence. Now is a time of constant technological progress, and looking at how computing has advanced over the years, one can predict what's to come in the days ahead. One of the main features of this revolution that stands out is how computing tools and techniques have been democratized.

Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and deep neural networks (DNNs) are the talk of the town these days. However, few people understand the difference between these innovative technologies. Artificial intelligence is an overarching concept that comprises several fields of computer science. It is geared toward solving tasks intrinsic to the human mind, such as speech recognition and object classification. Machine learning is part of the artificial intelligence ecosystem.

Presently, nearly all manual tasks are being automated. Machine learning algorithms are changing the definition of manual. It is very evident that machine learning is one of the hottest trends in the tech industry and is incredibly powerful to make predictions, and calculated suggestions based on large amounts of data. Machine learning engineers should be thorough with the routine algorithms to understand ML operations and execute advanced techniques. Here are the top 10 machine learning algorithms every engineer should know.

This work focuses on improving uncertainty estimation in the field of object classification from RGB images and demonstrates its benefits in two robotic applications. We employ a Bayesian Neural Network (BNN), and evaluate two practical inference techniques to obtain better uncertainty estimates, namely Concrete Dropout (CDP) and Kronecker-factored Laplace Approximation (LAP). We show a performance increase using more reliable uncertainty estimates as unary potentials within a Conditional Random Field (CRF), which is able to incorporate contextual information as well. Furthermore, the obtained uncertainties are exploited to achieve domain adaptation in a semi-supervised manner, which requires less manual efforts in annotating data. We evaluate our approach on two public benchmark datasets that are relevant for robot perception tasks.

Entity linking (EL) is the process of linking entity mentions appearing in web text with their corresponding entities in a knowledge base. EL plays an important role in the fields of knowledge engineering and data mining, underlying a variety of downstream applications such as knowledge base population, content analysis, relation extraction, and question answering. In recent years, deep learning (DL), which has achieved tremendous success in various domains, has also been leveraged in EL methods to surpass traditional machine learning based methods and yield the state-of-the-art performance. In this survey, we present a comprehensive review and analysis of existing DL based EL methods. First of all, we propose a new taxonomy, which organizes existing DL based EL methods using three axes: embedding, feature, and algorithm. Then we systematically survey the representative EL methods along the three axes of the taxonomy. Later, we introduce ten commonly used EL data sets and give a quantitative performance analysis of DL based EL methods over these data sets. Finally, we discuss the remaining limitations of existing methods and highlight some promising future directions.

Learning from human feedback has shown to be a useful approach in acquiring robot reward functions. However, expert feedback is often assumed to be drawn from an underlying unimodal reward function. This assumption does not always hold including in settings where multiple experts provide data or when a single expert provides data for different tasks -- we thus go beyond learning a unimodal reward and focus on learning a multimodal reward function. We formulate the multimodal reward learning as a mixture learning problem and develop a novel ranking-based learning approach, where the experts are only required to rank a given set of trajectories. Furthermore, as access to interaction data is often expensive in robotics, we develop an active querying approach to accelerate the learning process. We conduct experiments and user studies using a multi-task variant of OpenAI's LunarLander and a real Fetch robot, where we collect data from multiple users with different preferences. The results suggest that our approach can efficiently learn multimodal reward functions, and improve data-efficiency over benchmark methods that we adapt to our learning problem.

Have you ever noticed emails being categorized into different buckets and automatically being marked as important, spam, promotions, etc? And if you have, has it really piqued your curiosity as to…

There are 4 main types of Machine Learning Algorithm, the choice of the algorithm depends on the data type in the use case. It is an equation which describes a line, which represents relationship between input (x) and output (y) variables. By finding specific weightage for input variables called coefficients (b). Predictive modeling is primarily concerned when minimizing system errors or making the most accurate predictions possible at the expense of expansibility. It is a graphical representation of all possible solutions to a decision based on few conditions, it uses predictive models to achieve results, it is drawn upside down with its root at the top and it splits into branches based on a condition or internal node The end of the branch that doesn't not split, is the decision leaf.
