Dearth Of Core AI Products In India: A Deep Dive
India's AI tech leaves something to be desired. Ironically, a sizable chunk of engineers working for tech companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook and Amazon are Indians. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has ranked India as the seventh-largest economy, down from the sixth position in 2020 and fifth in 2019. The relegation is chalked up to the pandemic crisis. Now, with the rising number of COVID-19 cases and deaths, India's future looks bleak.
Session-Based Recommender Systems
This is an applied research report by Cloudera Fast Forward. We write reports about emerging technologies, and conduct experiments to explore what's possible. Read our full report on Session-based Recommender Systems below, or download the PDF, and be sure to check out our github repo for the Experiments section. Being able to recommend an item of interest to a user (based on their past preferences) is a highly relevant problem in practice. A key trend over the past few years has been session-based recommendation algorithms that provide recommendations solely based on a user's interactions in an ongoing session, and which do not require the existence of user profiles or their entire historical preferences. This report explores a simple, yet powerful, NLP-based approach (word2vec) to recommend a next item to a user. While NLP-based approaches are generally employed for linguistic tasks, here we exploit them to learn the structure induced by a user's behavior or an item's nature. Recommendation systems have become a cornerstone of modern life, spanning sectors that include online retail, music and video streaming, and even content publishing. These systems help us navigate the sheer volume of content on the internet, allowing us to discover what's interesting or important to us. When implemented correctly, recommendation systems help us navigate efficiently and make more informed decisions. While this report is not comprehensive, we will touch on a variety of approaches to recommendation systems, and dig deep into one approach in particular. We'll demonstrate how we used that approach to build a recommendation system from the ground up for an e-commerce use case, and showcase our experimental findings. Recommendation systems are not new, and they have already achieved great success over the past ten years through a variety of approaches. These classic recommendation systems can be broadly categorized as content-based, as collaborative filtering-based, or as hybrid approaches that combine aspects of the two. At a high level, content-based filtering makes recommendations based on user preferences for product features, as identified through either the user's previous actions or explicit feedback.
Neuroscientist proposes AI-inspired theory for why we dream
Why we dream is one of science's most perplexing mysteries, but a neuroscientist in the US thinks he finally has the answer. Erik Hoel, a research assistant professor of neuroscience at Tufts University in Massachusetts, has taken inspiration from artificial intelligence (AI) for his theory. In a new report, he argues that the often hallucinogenic, nonsensical quality of dreaming is like throwing in new, unexpected data to a neural network. Professor Hoel calls this the'overfitted brain hypothesis' – and argues that it keeps human minds from'fitting too well to their daily distribution of stimuli'. This illustration represents the overfitted brain hypothesis of dreaming, which claims that the sparse and hallucinatory quality of dreams helps prevent the brain from'overfitting' to its biased daily sources of learning Neural networks are a subset of machine learning and are at the heart of deep learning algorithms.
Language models like GPT-3 could herald a new type of search engine
Now a team of Google researchers has published a proposal for a radical redesign that throws out the ranking approach and replaces it with a single large AI language model, such as BERT or GPT-3--or a future version of them. The idea is that instead of searching for information in a vast list of web pages, users would ask questions and have a language model trained on those pages answer them directly. Search engines have become faster and more accurate, even as the web has exploded in size. AI is now used to rank results, and Google uses BERT to understand search queries better. Yet beneath these tweaks, all mainstream search engines still work the same way they did 20 years ago: web pages are indexed by crawlers (software that reads the web nonstop and maintains a list of everything it finds), results that match a user's query are gathered from this index, and the results are ranked.
A deep learning model to more easily identify complex metastatic tumors - Actu IA
We recently reported on a systemdeveloped by Scottish scientists to help identify mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer. A team of researchers from the Department of Pathology at Brigham and Women's Hospital has designed an artificial intelligence model that can find the origin of metastases. In addition, this tool could generate a "differential diagnosis" for patients with cancers whose origin is not known to doctors. For doctors, knowing the primary site of origin of a tumor is essential in order to target the actions they wish to take to fight the cancer and thus increase the survival rate. Most modern therapies are specific to the primary tumor, hence the importance of locating and analyzing it.
Are we in an AI summer or AI winter?
The dream of building a machine that can think like a human stretches back to the origins of electronic computers. But ever since research into artificial intelligence (AI) began in earnest after World War II, the field has gone through a series of boom and bust cycles called "AI summers" and "AI winters." Each cycle begins with optimistic claims that a fully, generally intelligent machine is just a decade or so away. Funding pours in and progress seems swift. Over the last ten years, we've clearly been in an AI summer as vast improvements in computing power and new techniques like deep learning have led to remarkable advances.
It's time for a public-safety conversation about artificial intelligence
A manager hires a new employee, and offers to pay her $1,000 a day. She replies: "I'll do you one better. Why don't you pay me one penny on my first day, and double my pay every day from there until the month is over?" Sensing a bargain, the manager agrees. Such is the price of failing to respect exponential growth.
Predicting Fake News using NLP and Machine Learning
The ratio is disturbed from being 1:1 to 4:5 for genuine to fake news. It is seen that the median length is lower for fake articles but it also has loads of outliers. It is seen that they start from 0 which is concerning. It actually starts from 1 when I used .describe() to see the numbers. So I took a look at these texts and found that they are blank.
