A Review of the Gumbel-max Trick and its Extensions for Discrete Stochasticity in Machine Learning
Huijben, Iris A. M., Kool, Wouter, Paulus, Max B., van Sloun, Ruud J. G.
The Gumbel-max trick is a method to draw a sample from a categorical distribution, given by its unnormalized (log-)probabilities. Over the past years, the machine learning community has proposed several extensions of this trick to facilitate, e.g., drawing multiple samples, sampling from structured domains, or gradient estimation for error backpropagation in neural network optimization. The goal of this survey article is to present background about the Gumbel-max trick, and to provide a structured overview of its extensions to ease algorithm selection. Moreover, it presents a comprehensive outline of (machine learning) literature in which Gumbel-based algorithms have been leveraged, reviews commonly-made design choices, and sketches a future perspective.
Consistency Regularization Can Improve Robustness to Label Noise
Englesson, Erik, Azizpour, Hossein
Consistency regularization is a commonly-used technique for semi-supervised and self-supervised learning. It is an auxiliary objective function that encourages the prediction of the network to be similar in the vicinity of the observed training samples. Hendrycks et al. (2020) have recently shown such regularization naturally brings test-time robustness to corrupted data and helps with calibration. This paper empirically studies the relevance of consistency regularization for training-time robustness to noisy labels. First, we make two interesting and useful observations regarding the consistency of networks trained with the standard cross entropy loss on noisy datasets which are: (i) networks trained on noisy data have lower consistency than those trained on clean data, and(ii) the consistency reduces more significantly around noisy-labelled training data points than correctly-labelled ones. Then, we show that a simple loss function that encourages consistency improves the robustness of the models to label noise on both synthetic (CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100) and real-world (WebVision) noise as well as different noise rates and types and achieves state-of-the-art results.
New OpenAI API like Algolia, Quizlet, and Reddit
Given any text prompt, the API will return a text completion, attempting to match the pattern you gave it. You can "program" it by showing it just a few examples of what you'd like it to do; its success generally varies depending on how complex the task is. The API also allows you to hone performance on specific tasks by training on a dataset (small or large) of examples you provide, or by learning from human feedback provided by users or labelers. We've designed the API to be both simple for anyone to use but also flexible enough to make machine learning teams more productive. In fact, many of our teams are now using the API so that they can focus on machine learning research rather than distributed systems problems.
Artificial Intelligence Technology Trends That Matter For Business
According to 2020's McKinsey Global Survey on artificial intelligence (AI), in 2020, more than 50% of companies have adopted AI in at least one business unit or function, so we witness the emergence of new AI trends. Organizations apply AI tools to generate more value, increase revenue and customer loyalty. AI leading companies invest at least 20% of their earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) in AI. This figure may increase as COVID-19 is accelerating digitization. Lockdowns resulted in a massive surge of online activity and an intensive AI adoption in business, education, administration, social interaction, etc.
Meet Baylor's expert on artificial intelligence and deep learning
Artificial intelligence (AI) used to be a fantasy, found only in science fiction. Today, it propels society forward in countless ways; even the phones in our pockets include multilingual translators, photo apps that recognize faces, and intelligent assistants that can understand spoken commands (thanks, Siri). This is all made possible through the process of deep learning -- and Dr. Pablo Rivas, an assistant professor of computer science at Baylor, has literally written the book on the subject. "I first fell in love with the field of AI and the principles that can explain human intelligence 20 years ago, when it was all beginning," says Rivas. "Now, the industry is booming. And while the advances are incredible, they can also be a little disarming."
Deep Learning: What Could Go Wrong?
In a field of research where algorithms can misinterpret stop signs as speed limit signs with the addition of minimal graffiti [3], many commentators are wondering whether current artificial intelligence (AI) solutions are sufficiently robust, resilient, and trustworthy. How can the research community quantify and address such issues? Many empirical approaches investigate the generation of adversarial attacks: small, deliberate perturbations to an input that cause dramatic changes in a system's output. Changes that are essentially imperceptible to the human eye may alter predictions in the field of image classification, which has implications in many high-stakes and safety-critical settings. The rise of algorithms that construct attacks--and heuristic techniques that identify or guard against them--has led to a version of conflict escalation wherein attack and defense strategies become increasingly ingenious [10].
Deep Learning vs Machine Learning: A Deep Dive
Machine learning and deep learning are two fundamental concepts within the broad field of artificial intelligence. These two terms are often used interchangeably, but they actually aren't the same thing. While machine learning and deep learning are each a different subset of artificial intelligence, they have their differences. Today, we're going to explore machine learning and deep learning and establish their differences. Before we dive deeper into machine learning and deep learning, let's take a quick look at the branch they both fall under: artificial intelligence (AI).
AI writes on 'Tensorflow'
Tensorflow is a python library used in Machine learning projects, the library has a lot of features including creating neural networks, deep learning and reinforcement learning projects. The library is pretty much popular among python developers and is used for a wide range of projects ranging from developing chatbots to image recognition. While the library can be used by beginners and experts, it still needs a good grasp of the concepts and algorithms used in the field. This post explains all of the things you need to know to be able to use this tool in a productive manner. It's easy to start up with Tensorflow, you only need an internet connection, no downloads are required and the whole thing can be done online.
