Understand CNN Basics with a Keras Example in Python

#artificialintelligence

In this article, we will try to implement the basic CNN model with the Keras framework. The benefit of the convolutional neural network is that it reduces or minimizes the dimension and parameters of images by retaining maximum information so that the training process becomes fast and takes less computation power. We will try to implement the code in google colab with a step-by-step process. Why we are using CNN? The main concern of using the convolutional neural network is for the images that previous algorithms are not so much suitable for bulk images dataset and retaining the image information.


Facebook Open-Sources Expire-Span Method for Scaling Transformer AI

#artificialintelligence

Facebook AI Research (FAIR) open-sourced Expire-Span, a deep-learning technique that learns which items in an input sequence should be remembered, reducing the memory and computation requirements for AI. FAIR showed that Transformer models that incorporate Expire-Span can scale to sequences of tens of thousands of items with improved performance compared to previous models. The research team described the technique and several experiments in a paper to be presented at the upcoming International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML). Expire-Span allows sequential AI models to "forget" events that are no longer relevant. When incorporated into self-attention models, such as the Transformer, Expire-Span reduces the amount of memory needed, allowing the model to handle longer sequences, which is key to improved performance on many tasks, such as natural language processing (NLP).


Google Study Shows Transformer Modifications Fail To Transfer Across Implementations and Applications

#artificialintelligence

Since their introduction three years ago, transformer architectures have become the de-facto standard for natural language processing (NLP) tasks and are now also seeing application in areas such as computer vision. Although many transformer architecture modifications have been proposed, these have not proven as easily transferable across implementations and applications as hoped, and that has limited their wider adoption. In a bid to understand why most widely-used transformer applications shun these modifications, a team from Google Research comprehensively evaluated them in a shared experimental setting, where they were surprised to discover that most architecture modifications they looked at do not meaningfully improve performance on downstream NLP tasks. The researchers began by reimplementing and evaluating a variety of transformer variants on the tasks where they are most commonly applied. As a baseline, they used the original transformer model with two modifications: applying layer normalization before the self-attention and feedforward blocks instead of after, and using relative attention with shared biases instead of sinusoidal positional embeddings. The researchers employed two experimental settings to evaluate each modification's performance: transfer learning based on T5, and supervised machine translation on the WMT'14 English-German translation task.

Technical Challenges of AI in Moderating Hate Speech Even in 2021

#artificialintelligence

The spread of misinformation and hate speech is increasing on multiple social media platforms affecting a certain group of people. Celebrities and politicians are experiencing the most as primary targets but that is affecting the minds of common people as well. The malicious digital content also contains hate speech regarding different ethnicity and minorities like LGBTQ. Hate speech travels faster than light on social media platforms. This can develop violence, riots, or other dangerous impacts in society. It is seen that AI models and deep learning algorithms are advancing as per time but it is still struggling in moderating hate speech.


Artificial Intelligence in Radiology: Current Applications and Future Technologies

#artificialintelligence

For lung nodules, CNN have been shown to distinguish between benign and malignant classifications at a higher performance than traditional CADx systems due to their ability to function at higher degrees of noise tolerance (Hosny et al. 2018; Nasrullah et al. 2019). Furthermore, in a study done on patients with non-small cell lung cancer, AI CADx algorithms were able to use CT images to significantly predict which cancers contained EGFR mutations, informing on potential treatment with Gefitinib (Bi et al. 2019). Deep learning algorithms have also been trained to accurately classify prostate cancer on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), which can promote early treatment as well as decrease the number of unnecessary prostate biopsies and prostatectomy procedures performed (Bi et al. 2019). An additional study reported an AI system that was able to use MRI imaging to accurately generate brain tumour classification differentials at a level that exceeded human performance. The algorithm generated the correct diagnosis in one of its top three differentials 91% of the time, outperforming academic neuroradiologists (86%), fellows (77%), general radiologists (57%), and radiology residents (56%) (Rauschecker et al. 2020).


Radiology: Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Although AI has generated excitement for the future of radiology, hopes for an automated radiological future have been dashed by reports of poor generalization of deep learning models. Models trained on images from one hospital can perform poorly when tested on images from a different one, often related to differences in disease prevalence between hospitals. Perhaps more concerning, deep learning models trained on chest radiographs (CXRs) with an underrepresentation of females have been shown to be biased for a variety of thoracic diseases; not surprisingly, these models performed better on CXRs of male patients. Biases and underrepresentation in datasets was one of several topics covered at this year's Conference on AI, Ethics, and Society, organized by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). Because AI models can reflect biases in the datasets used to develop them, detecting the presence of biases and addressing them is an important task.


A Bot that Bird Watches so You Don't Have To

#artificialintelligence

If you have ever tried to watch a live nest camera hoping to observe a falcon or other interesting bird, you may have had the experience of opening the live stream and seeing an empty nest. Not sure how long you should wait for the bird to return? In this article, I will describe my final project for the 12-week Metis Data Science Bootcamp that I attended January–March 2021. My project was aimed at automating nest monitoring for the Nottingham Trent University Falcon Cam. Using deep learning and automation tools, I designed a method for 24-hour bird detection that serves as an infrastructure upon which a Twitter bot or other notification system can be built to notify users when the bird enters or leaves the nest.


I Wrote a Book with GPT-3 AI in 24 Hours -- And Got It Published

#artificialintelligence

On January 30, 2021, I realized I was the weak link. I had been working with GPT-3, the autoregressive language model from OpenAI for 2 hours. My creative juices were running low. We had maybe 5 poems ready -- out of the 60 or so poems we needed for the book. I stared at the blinking cursor.


Deep Probabilistic Decision Learning Returns Perfect Flow to Operations

#artificialintelligence

FlowOps enables optimal experience, predictions and decisions in the operations of factories and supply chains. In human brains, there are three key learning functions related to how we sense, predict and decide. Findings in computational neuroscience [1, 2] suggest that different parts of brain areas play a distinct but connected role in each function. These can be equated with the three Explainable AI (XAI) engines in Noodle.ai's The interplay between deep learning and probabilistic learning are similar to a human brain's thinking fast and slow like in Kahneman's System 1 and System 2. System 1 is a fast, intuitive, heuristic, deterministic, differentiable, and more affective mind, whereas System 2 is a slow, deliberate, logical, probabilistic, integrating, and more cognitive mind. Deep learning (Sentinel) enables fast, scalable, and associative pattern detections from high-dimensional, noisy and temporally correlated data, using differential optimizations on flexible functions with deterministic model parameters.
