Developers will soon be able to use GPT-3, OpenAI's flagship language model, through the new Azure OpenAI Service, announced at the Microsoft Ignite conference this week. The public release of GPT-3 comes after one year of limited trials through OpenAI's own API service and a few specialized integrations with Microsoft's software development products. With the release of Azure OpenAI Service, Microsoft will make the power of large language models available to a wide range of organizations and industries. It will be an opportunity for the software giant to strengthen its hold on the new business applications taking shape around advances in natural language processing and generation. The new service can also have important implications for OpenAI, which is becoming increasingly dependent and entrenched in the business goals of Microsoft.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper to introduce Convolutions to Gated MultiLayer Perceptron and contributes an implementation of this novel Deep Learning architecture. Google Brain introduced the gMLP in May 2021. Microsoft introduced Convolutions in Vision Transformer in Mar 2021. Inspired by both gMLP and CvT, we introduce convolutional layers in gMLP. CvT combined the power of Convolutions and Attention. Our implementation combines the best of Convolutional learning along with spatial gated MLP. Further, the paper visualizes how CgMLP learns. Visualizations show how CgMLP learns from features such as outline of a car. While Attention was the basis of much of recent progress in Deep Learning, gMLP proposed an approach that doesn't use Attention computation. In Transformer based approaches, a whole lot of Attention matrixes need to be learnt using vast amount of training data. In gMLP, the fine tunning for new tasks can be challenging by transfer learning with smaller datasets. We implement CgMLP and compares it with gMLP on CIFAR dataset. Experimental results explore the power of generaliza-tion of CgMLP, while gMLP tend to drastically overfit the training data. To summarize, the paper contributes a novel Deep Learning architecture and demonstrates the learning mechanism of CgMLP through visualizations, for the first time in literature.

Grasping objects intelligently is a challenging task even for humans and we spend a considerable amount of time during our childhood to learn how to grasp objects correctly. In the case of robots, we can not afford to spend that much time on making it to learn how to grasp objects effectively. Therefore, in the present research we propose an efficient learning architecture based on VQVAE so that robots can be taught with sufficient data corresponding to correct grasping. However, getting sufficient labelled data is extremely difficult in the robot grasping domain. To help solve this problem, a semi-supervised learning based model which has much more generalization capability even with limited labelled data set, has been investigated. Its performance shows 6\% improvement when compared with existing state-of-the-art models including our earlier model. During experimentation, It has been observed that our proposed model, RGGCNN2, performs significantly better, both in grasping isolated objects as well as objects in a cluttered environment, compared to the existing approaches which do not use unlabelled data for generating grasping rectangles. To the best of our knowledge, developing an intelligent robot grasping model (based on semi-supervised learning) trained through representation learning and exploiting the high-quality learning ability of GGCNN2 architecture with the limited number of labelled dataset together with the learned latent embeddings, can be used as a de-facto training method which has been established and also validated in this paper through rigorous hardware experimentations using Baxter (Anukul) research robot.

Research about recommender systems emerges over the last decade and comprises valuable services to increase different companies' revenue. Several approaches exist in handling paper recommender systems. While most existing recommender systems rely either on a content-based approach or a collaborative approach, there are hybrid approaches that can improve recommendation accuracy using a combination of both approaches. Even though many algorithms are proposed using such methods, it is still necessary for further improvement. In this paper, we propose a recommender system method using a graph-based model associated with the similarity of users' ratings, in combination with users' demographic and location information. By utilizing the advantages of Autoencoder feature extraction, we extract new features based on all combined attributes. Using the new set of features for clustering users, our proposed approach (GHRS) has gained a significant improvement, which dominates other methods' performance in the cold-start problem. The experimental results on the MovieLens dataset show that the proposed algorithm outperforms many existing recommendation algorithms on recommendation accuracy.

AI methods have been proven to yield impressive performance on Android malware detection. However, most AI-based methods make predictions of suspicious samples in a black-box manner without transparency on models' inference. The expectation on models' explainability and transparency by cyber security and AI practitioners to assure the trustworthiness increases. In this article, we present a novel model-agnostic explanation method for AI models applied for Android malware detection. Our proposed method identifies and quantifies the data features relevance to the predictions by two steps: i) data perturbation that generates the synthetic data by manipulating features' values; and ii) optimization of features attribution values to seek significant changes of prediction scores on the perturbed data with minimal feature values changes. The proposed method is validated by three experiments. We firstly demonstrate that our proposed model explanation method can aid in discovering how AI models are evaded by adversarial samples quantitatively. In the following experiments, we compare the explainability and fidelity of our proposed method with state-of-the-arts, respectively.

Segmentation of head and neck (H\&N) tumours and prediction of patient outcome are crucial for patient's disease diagnosis and treatment monitoring. Current developments of robust deep learning models are hindered by the lack of large multi-centre, multi-modal data with quality annotations. The MICCAI 2021 HEad and neCK TumOR (HECKTOR) segmentation and outcome prediction challenge creates a platform for comparing segmentation methods of the primary gross target volume on fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG)-PET and Computed Tomography images and prediction of progression-free survival in H\&N oropharyngeal cancer.For the segmentation task, we proposed a new network based on an encoder-decoder architecture with full inter- and intra-skip connections to take advantage of low-level and high-level semantics at full scales. Additionally, we used Conditional Random Fields as a post-processing step to refine the predicted segmentation maps. We trained multiple neural networks for tumor volume segmentation, and these segmentations were ensembled achieving an average Dice Similarity Coefficient of 0.75 in cross-validation, and 0.76 on the challenge testing data set. For prediction of patient progression free survival task, we propose a Cox proportional hazard regression combining clinical, radiomic, and deep learning features. Our survival prediction model achieved a concordance index of 0.82 in cross-validation, and 0.62 on the challenge testing data set.

Episodic control enables sample efficiency in reinforcement learning by recalling past experiences from an episodic memory. We propose a new model-based episodic memory of trajectories addressing current limitations of episodic control. Our memory estimates trajectory values, guiding the agent towards good policies. Built upon the memory, we construct a complementary learning model via a dynamic hybrid control unifying model-based, episodic and habitual learning into a single architecture. Experiments demonstrate that our model allows significantly faster and better learning than other strong reinforcement learning agents across a variety of environments including stochastic and non-Markovian settings.

This will discuss or explore how we arrived at where we are now and also where we are going to next with the era of even bigger albeit increasingly decentralised data in the era of AI meets the IoT (AIoT) and standalone 5G networks that may arrive in the next few years. Transformational change is set to occur later this decade at a faster pace than ever before in human history as we advance through the 2020s. The previous decade has been one whereby AI technology's most profound impact has been within the realms of Digital and Social-Media along with E-commerce. During the rest of this decade AI will extend its reach into the rest of the economy ("real-world sectors of our economy") with AI scaling across healthcare, financial services, transportation, education, energy, telecoms, agriculture and continue its advance into cybersecurity. It will also result in changes in where data is generated with the rise of the Edge of the Network with IoT.

After the article in Nature about the open-source of AlphaFold v2.0 on GitHub by DeepMind, many in the scientific and research community have wanted to try out DeepMind's AlphaFold implementation firsthand. With compute resources through Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) with Nvidia GPU, you can quickly get AlphaFold running and try it out yourself. In this post, I provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to install AlphaFold on an EC2 instance with Nvidia GPU. The process starts with a Deep Learning Amazon Machine Image (DLAMI). After installation, we run predictions using the AlphaFold model with CASP14 samples on the instance.
