IBM's Project CodeNet will test how far you can push AI to write software

#artificialintelligence

This article is part of our reviews of AI research papers, a series of posts that explore the latest findings in artificial intelligence. IBM's AI research division has released a 14-million-sample dataset to develop machine learning models that can help in programming tasks. Called Project CodeNet, the dataset takes its name after ImageNet, the famous repository of labeled photos that triggered a revolution in computer vision and deep learning. While there's a scant chance that machine learning models built on the CodeNet dataset will make human programmers redundant, there's reason to be hopeful that they will make developers more productive. In the early 2010s, impressive advances in machine learning triggered excitement (and fear) about artificial intelligence soon automating many tasks, including programming.

How sparsification and quantization build leaner AI

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are rarely out of the news. Technology vendors are busy jostling for position in the AI-ML marketplace, all keen to explain how their approach to automation can speed everything from predictive maintenance for industrial machinery to knowing what day consumers are most likely to order vegan sausages in their online shopping orders. Much of the debate around AI itself concerns the resultant software tooling that tech vendors bring to market. We want to know more about how so-called'explainable' AI functions function and what those advancements can do for us. A key part of that explainability concentrates on AI bias and the need to ensure human unconscious (or perhaps semiconscious) thinking is not programmed into the systems we are creating.


Evolution of Chatbots With AI and NLP

#artificialintelligence

With chatbots in recent years increasingly prevalent, they have been used in many different applications across industries as script and linear conversations with a default output. Although this has served the function of multiple applications, it is now essential that companies build and implement Chatbots with natural language processing, which evaluates, analyses, and communicates with its users, like a human being, to give a novel experience. Let's understand the use of Chatbots with natural language processing. Natural Language Processing or NLP is a deep learning-based technique that allows machines to understand the meaning from user input. As per Bots' context, the purpose of the user's feedback is evaluated, and answers are then produced based on contextual analysis inspired by the human being.

Questions with GPT-3: Could AI replace search engines?

#artificialintelligence

We asked GPT-3 questions typically reserved for Google. The results will shock you. One of my highlights from last week was getting access to the GPT-3 beta. Of course, our first instinct was to chat with it and to explore ways to possibly deploy it on Chai, but during a meeting we had a question and it occurred to us that GPT-3 may know the answer. We asked it "Who are the top 10 VCs?".

TechDay - Top 5 Machine Learning Libraries Today

#artificialintelligence

With the use of Machine Learning (ML) on the rise, it is more important than ever to take a look at the leading five ML libraries being used today. But before we get into that, let’s look at what is an ML library? A Machine Learning library, or a Machine Learning framework, is a set of routines and functions that are written in a given programming language. Essentially, they are interfaces, libraries or tools helping developers to easily and quickly build machine learning models, going past the specific basic details of the underlying algorithms. So they basically help developers carry out complex tasks without having to rewrite many lines of code. Now let us look at the five best ML libraries out there for developers today: 1. TensorFlow Created by the Google Brain team, TensorFlow is a free and open-source software library used for research and production. Allowing easy and effective implementation of machine learning algorithms, it is an efficient math library and is also used for machine learning applications such as neural networks. The emergence of high-level APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) like Keras and Theano has made TensorFlow more effective in improving the capability of computers to predict solutions with a greater degree of accuracy. Bear in mind that TensorFlow offers stable APIs for Python and C. Providing parallel processing, it is easily trainable on CPU as well as GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) for distributed computing and enjoys a large community support with additional advantages including better computational graph visualizations, quick updates, frequent new releases with new features, good debugging methods and scalability. 2. Keras Several back-end neural network computation engines are supported by Keras, an open-source neural network library written in Python. It can run on top of frameworks such as TensorFlow, Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit, Theano. Keras has many impressive features. First is modularity, where a model can be understood as a sequence or a graph alone, next is minimalism so that the library shares just enough to get an outcome and there’s also the element of maximizing readability and extensibility which allows researchers to do more trials. Its advantages include its support for a wide range of production deployment options and integration with back-end engines/frameworks; it also helps that everything in Keras is native Python. Kids and teens interested in learning TensorFlow and Keras can join the YoungWonks afterschool coding program. Here, they will first get to learn the basics of Python and work their way up to learn about the two ML libraries in live online classroom sessions focusing on project-based and self-paced learning. 3. Scikit-learn Scikit-learn is a free machine learning library for Python built on SciPy. An effective tool for data mining and data analysis, it is used today for model selection, clustering, preprocessing, and more. Its popularity can be traced to the fact that it boasts a clean API, is easy to use, fast, comprehensive and enjoys good documentation and the support of an active developer community. It also scores well on the simplicity and accessibility front. 4. Theano Also a Python ML library, Theano is an open-source project developed by Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms (MILA) at the Université de Montréal. It allows developers to define, optimize and evaluate mathematical expressions that include multi-dimensional arrays. It provides features such as good integration with NumPy, transparent use of a GPU, extensive unit-testing, and self-verification. 5. PyTorch Developed by Facebook’s AI Research lab (FAIR), PyTorch is used for applications like computer vision and natural language processing. Also a free and open-source software, it has a polished Python interface along with a C++ interface. PyTorch offers Tensor computing (like NumPy) with strong acceleration via graphics processing units (GPU) and today many deep learning softwares have been/ are being built on top of PyTorch.


Hardware Requirements for Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

So you're planning to launch an AI project or startup, or maybe adding an AI-based team to an existing organization. Now, if you want to run machine learning, deep learning, computer vision or other AI-driven research project you can't just buy any off-the-rack computer from an office superstore; you need hardware that can handle your workload. This leaves you with an important decision: build, buy, or rent. In this context, "renting" would generally refer to using cloud compute resources, which tend to be more expensive in the long run, but may be a good choice in some cases (great for startups or when you're not planning on scaling in a big way). This article, however, is concerned with balancing hardware and computational requirements and is based on the assumption that you will be spec'ing custom AI hardware or building an AI computer yourself.


Coding a deep learning model using TensorFlow.js

#artificialintelligence

In the previous tutorial "An introduction to AI in Node.js", we explained two basic approaches for embedding a deep learning model in your Node.js application. In this tutorial, we go a step further and show you how to build and train a simple deep learning model from scratch. Therefore, unlike the previous tutorial, you need a more in-depth understanding of how deep learning models work to get the most benefit from this tutorial. We start with the programming concepts for deep learning and cover two different programming APIs: the high-level Layers API and the low-level Core API. You'll code a simple model to classify clothing items, train it with a small data set, and evaluate the model's accuracy. Then, to illustrate a common practice in deep learning, you'll take your trained model and apply transfer learning to teach the model to classify new items. We also describe how to take a pre-trained model from other sources such as Python and convert it to a format that can be used in JavaScript. So far, we have seen that the actual deep learning model can be hidden in an npm package, loaded from a binary format, or served through a REST API. In these cases, we are simply running an inference on the model, and we don't care how the model was implemented.
