Google's foundational model BERT powers the search engine used by billions across the world. OpenAI's GPT-3 is a powerful language model that has forayed into downstream tasks such as building low code platforms. In the era of such large scale foundational models that directly impact many real-world applications, what are the risks that tag along? To answer this, the entire AI department at Stanford University has released a survey. In this report, the researchers have provided a thorough account of the opportunities and risks of foundation models, their capabilities, applications, and societal impact.

Hands-On Automated Machine Learning: A beginner's guide to building automated machine learning systems using AutoML and Python eBook Automated Machine Learning Hands on AutoML for beginners Will Automated Machine Learning replace Datascientists? What AutoML options are available and free to use? If you are a beginner and want answers to those questions and try AutoML yourself then this course is for you. Here we go through various AutomatedMachine Learning (and Deep Learning) frameworks which are currently available (not an extensive list of course there are many more). The main goal is to get an overview of what AutoML is and how to use it in python.

Weather plays an important role in our everyday lives. Among other weather conditions, rain influences our day-to-day decisions significantly. Weather forecasting has always been important to our communities and countries throughout history. Machine learning has found applications in almost every field, and weather forecasting is no longer an exception. DeepMind's recent study presents a cutting-edge model that forecasts rain (and other precipitation phenomena) within the next 1-2 hours.

Natural language processing (NLP) has witnessed impressive developments in answering questions, summarizing or translating reports, and analyzing sentiment or offensiveness. Much of this progress is owed to training ever-larger language models, such as T5 or GPT-3, that use deep monolithic architectures to internalize how language is used within text from massive Web crawls. During training, these models distill the facts they read into implicit knowledge, storing in their parameters not only the capacity to "understand" language tasks, but also highly abstract knowledge representations of entities, events, and facts the model needs for solving tasks. Despite the well-publicized success of large language models, their black-box nature hinders key goals of NLP. Researchers continue to enlarge these models, leading to striking inefficiencies as the field already pushes past 1 trillion parameters.

Embedding is the process of converting high-dimensional data to low-dimensional data in the form of a vector in such a way that the two are semantically similar. In its literal sense, "embedding" refers to an extract (portion) of anything. Generally, embeddings improve the efficiency and usability of machine learning models and can be utilised with other types of models as well. When dealing with massive amounts of data to train, building machine learning models is a nuisance. As a result, embedding comes into play.

There are several sparse approaches that produce state-of-the-art, however, there are no widespread dense vector-based approaches for achieving the same. So I framed this problem as Fuzzy matching, which is one of the useful features data scientists use for matching strings based on the character similarity most of the implementation underlying use edit distance, Levenshtein distance, however, the computational cost gets quadratic when the corpus size increases. Hence an embedding-based method significantly cut costs leveraging algorithms like Faiss, ANNOY and ANN, etc. Implementation summary, I repurposed the Siamese transformer architecture implementation by sentence transformers and by augmenting the Birkbeck spelling error corpus by Roger Mitton, like generating random n-grams from single tokens, shuffling, random deletion, then I finetuned the model, however, instead of feeding the phrases and words, I first break the sequence on char level since we are not aiming for semantic similarity, the results look promising, however, this is just a baseline, I hope to work and refine it a little further. Metadata is already data that provides further useful information about the data, in other words, it can be used to enhance human or machine's knowledge about the existing dataset. Metadata filtering can have multiple benefits as I can yield better speed for dense retrieval models as well as increasing the accuracy of Reader models.

Yann Andre LeCun, a French computer scientist who focuses on machine learning, computer vision, mobile robotics, and computational neuroscience, recently tweeted that one of his articles has been rejected from NeurIPS 2021. Yann LeCun is a Silver Professor at New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Vice President, Chief AI Scientist at Facebook. He is well-known for his work on optical character recognition and computer vision using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and is often regarded as the inventor of convolutional nets. He is also a co-creator of the DjVu image compression technology. The author is a multifaceted individual with academic and industrial experience in artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, intelligent data analysis, data mining, data compression, digital library systems, and robotics.

I am regularly asked to summarize my many posts. I thought it would be a good idea to publish on this blog, every Monday, some of the most relevant articles that I have already shared with you on my social networks. Today I will share some of the most relevant articles about Artificial Intelligence and in what form you can find it in today's life. I will also comment on the articles. People tend to desire changes, and that includes changes to their surrounding home spaces.

AutoML refers to the automation of repetitive tasks in building machine learning or deep learning models. AutoML tries to automate the tasks in the ML pipeline such as data cleaning, feature engineering, handling of categorical features, hyper-parameter tunning with as little manual interaction as possible. The main aim of AutoML is to bring the machine learning tools to non-machine learning or non-technical experts. Databricks AutoML allows us to quickly build machine learning models by automating the tasks such as data preprocessing, feature engineering, hyper-parameter tuning, and best model selection. Databricks AutoML integrates with the MLflow to register the best-performed model to the model registry for model deployment (Serving model over REST API).

OpenAI's text generating system GPT-3 has captured mainstream attention. GPT-3 is essentially an auto-complete bot whose underlying Machine Learning (ML) model has been trained on vast quantities of text available on the Internet. The output produced from this autocomplete bot can be used to manipulate people on social media and spew political propaganda, argue about the meaning of life (or lack thereof), disagree with the notion of what differentiates a hot-dog from a sandwich, take upon the persona of the Buddha or Hitler or a dead family member, write fake news articles that are indistinguishable from human written articles, and also produce computer code on the fly. There have also been colorful conversations about whether GPT-3 can pass the Turing test, or whether it has achieved a notional understanding of consciousness, even amongst AI scientists who know the technical mechanics. The chatter on perceived consciousness does have merit–it's quite probable that the underlying mechanism of our brain is a giant autocomplete bot that has learnt from 3 billion years of evolutionary data that bubbles up to our collective selves, and we ultimately give ourselves too much credit for being original authors of our own thoughts (ahem, free will).
