Deep Learning
Global Big Data Conference
Quantum computing has grabbed the imagination of computer scientists as one possible future of the discipline after we've reached the limits of digital binary computers. Thanks to its capability to hold many different possible outcomes in the "quantum state," quantum computing could potentially deliver a big computational upgrade for machine learning and AI problems. However, there are still a lot of unanswered questions around quantum computing, and it's unclear if the devices will help with the building wave of investment in enterprise AI. We've done quite well with the line of binary computers that first appeared in the 1950s and have evolved into the basis of today's multi-trillion-dollar IT sector. With just two bits and three Boolean algebraic operators, we created tremendous data-crunching machines that have automated many manual tasks and had a large impact on the world around us.
Keras -- Fundamentals for Deep Learning
Hi everyone, I'm reposting my old blogs here, as my account was hacked. The main structure in Keras is the Model which defines the complete graph of a network. You can add more layers to an existing model to build a custom model that you need for your project. Here's how to make a Sequential Model and a few commonly used layers in deep learning This is an example of convolutional layer as the input layer with the input shape of 320x320x3, with 48 filters of size 3x3 and use ReLU as an activation function. After we define our model, let's start to train them. It is required to compile the network first with the loss function and optimizer function.
Google's AI model can help improve neural networks in medical research
The key conflict that this research tried to solve was to make deep neural networks more robust and efficient in crucial medical applications. In various medical research tasks such as cancer, practitioners do not always have ample data sets that are clearly labelled in terms of what they constitute. This has typically made it difficult for medical AI researchers to create efficient training models for deep neural networks to identify medical data with high accuracy. Called Multi-Instance Contrastive Learning (MICLe), Azizi and his team have created what is called a'self supervised learning' model. The key postulate of self supervised machine learning models is that they are trained on unlabelled data, thereby enabling the application of AI in niche areas where collection of clearly defined data sets may be difficult – such as in cancer research itself.
Artificial Intelligence: AI that Can Write Code
Last year software developers were astonished when word got out that OpenAI's GPT-3 AI-based text generator was able to write code based on natural English text prompts. John Carmack, programmer and game developer, tweeted that "I used to say that AI research seemed to have an odd blind spot towards automation of programming work, and I suspected a subconscious self-preservation bias. The recent, almost accidental, discovery that GPT-3 can sort of write code does generate a slight shiver." A 2013 study from Oxford estimates that 47 percent of all US jobs will be automated by 2030. That number seems a little high and automation growth a little too fast, but a lot can change in a decade -- who knows?
Researchers Introduce MERLIN For Training Despeckling Deep Neural Network-Based Models
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is an imaging technique that uses a resolution-limited radar system to produce fine-resolution 2D or 3D images. It's frequently used to gather photos of landscapes or object reconstructions that can be utilized to produce millimeter-to-centimeter scale models of Earth's or other planets' surfaces. When a highly coherent light beam is diffusely reflected on a rough surface, it produces the speckle pattern, a random granular effect. This causes significant changes in the images obtained using SAR techniques, which can impair the quality and interpretability of the images. Many studies are investigating the use of deep neural network-based algorithms to increase the quality and reliability of SAR data by lessening the speckle effect.
Analysing ice hockey videos with deep learning
Researchers at the University of Waterloo are developing technology to automatically analyse videos of hockey games using artificial intelligence. Their deep-learning technique can identify players by their sweater numbers with 90 percent accuracy. "That is significant because the only major cue you have to identify a particular player in a hockey video is jersey number," said Kanav Vats, a PhD student in systems design engineering who led the project. "Players on a team otherwise appear very similar because of their helmets and uniforms." Player identification is one aspect of a complicated challenge as members of the Vision and Image Processing (VIP) Lab at Waterloo work with an industry partner on AI software to analyse player performance and produce other data-driven insights.
Deep Learning -- Overview of its use cases
Deep Learning is an extremely powerful exponential technology and branch of Artificial Intelligence which is used in applications ranging from Cancer Detection and Mineral Exploration to Productivity Tracking and fighting Money Laundering, saving companies millions of dollars, and changing lives. Deep learning is a family of machine learning methods based on artificial neural networks. First of all, it's very interesting to point out that machine learning is defined as a " Discipline within artificial intelligence that teaches computers how to make predictions based on data. Artificial neural networks, "the human brain is the most sophisticated system for data analysis that we humans have ever discovered " and that we are aware of. Therefore, it's understandable that we wanted to create something similar inside of our computers.
What is Deep Learning
This article was published as a part of the Data Science Blogathon. This is Part 1 of the Comprehensive tutorial on Deep learning. This tutorial or guide is mostly for beginners, and I'll try to define and emphasize the topics as much as I can. Since Deep learning is a very Huge topic, I would divide the whole tutorial into few parts. Be sure to read the other parts if you find this one useful.
Antibiotic resistance: how AI can tackle the superbug threat
As the world continues to grapple with the Covid-19 pandemic, another health crisis is looming: antibiotic resistance. Bacterial resistance is something that occurs naturally, but widespread antibiotic misuse has propelled antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to major global health threat status; at least 700,000 people are killed by drug-resistant superbugs every year – and by 2050, this number could reach 10 million. A report by the World Health Organization, published earlier this year, also found that none of the 43 antibiotics currently under development "sufficiently address the problem of drug resistance" in the bacteria considered most dangerous to public health. The situation, as it stands, looks bleak – but there is hope. Advances in technology are vastly improving the way researchers discover and develop drugs, and antibiotics are no exception.
