Multimodal Neurons in Artificial Neural Networks
We've discovered neurons in CLIP that respond to the same concept whether presented literally, symbolically, or conceptually. This may explain CLIP's accuracy in classifying surprising visual renditions of concepts, and is also an important step toward understanding the associations and biases that CLIP and similar models learn. Fifteen years ago, Quiroga et al. discovered that the human brain possesses multimodal neurons. These neurons respond to clusters of abstract concepts centered around a common high-level theme, rather than any specific visual feature. The most famous of these was the "Halle Berry" neuron, a neuron featured in both Scientific American and The New York Times, that responds to photographs, sketches, and the text "Halle Berry" (but not other names).
Artificial Intelligence Market Size
The potential value that would result from the incorporation of artificial intelligence and deep learning into business processes of various industries was also a topic of the McKinsey Global Institute discussion paper. The paper comes to the conclusion that the emergence of AI is a huge opportunity for a broad range of industries and business fields and that they can make use of this technology in order to create more value. The y-axis represents the impact of AI on a particular industry, measured in billions of dollars. The x-axis represents the effect of the AI as a percentage of the total impact derived from analytical techniques, such as more traditional statistical algorithms and machine learning algorithms. I think this graphic speaks for itself.
NVIDIA and Harvard Create New AI Deep Learning Genomics Tool
Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning, genomics, and computing hardware is accelerating life sciences research and discovery. In a new study published today in Nature Communications, researchers from NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Harvard University's Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology create an AI deep learning tool called AtacWorks that denoises genomic sequencing data and find areas with accessible DNA that may help speed up new diagnostics, de novo drugs, and treatments for diseases in the future. Early intervention and treatment of cancer and genetic diseases may make the difference in outcomes and requires early intervention. The challenge is that sample size of cell data may be small and the data itself may contain extraneous "noise." Having a way to filter and reduce the non-relevant data, or noise, and to boost the relevant data, or signal, in those cases can help speed up research.
OpenAI's state-of-the-art machine vision AI is fooled by handwritten notes
Researchers from machine learning lab OpenAI have discovered that their state-of-the-art computer vision system can be deceived by tools no more sophisticated than a pen and a pad. As illustrated in the image above, simply writing down the name of an object and sticking it on another can be enough to trick the software into misidentifying what it sees. "We refer to these attacks as typographic attacks," write OpenAI's researchers in a blog post. "By exploiting the model's ability to read text robustly, we find that even photographs of hand-written text can often fool the model." They note that such attacks are similar to "adversarial images" that can fool commercial machine vision systems, but far simpler to produce.
'Deep learning among top in-demand skills of 2020 in India' - Express Computer
Deep learning and data engineering are top nanodegree programmes showing the country's growing interest towards artificial intelligence (AI) and data, says a new report. According to a report by silicon-valley-based Udacity, Karnataka holds the lion's share for maximum nanodegree programmes in 2020. As much as 24 per cent demand for deep learning and 34 per cent of the total demand for data engineering nanodegree programmes comes from Karnataka, the company said in a statement. The demand for AI product manager (38 per cent) and product manager (60 per cent) is also the highest in the state. Data science and deep learning are the most popular nanodegree programmes in Maharashtra. More than 40 per cent of the enrollments come from this state.

Deep learning-based enhancement of epigenomics data with AtacWorks
ATAC-seq is a widely-applied assay used to measure genome-wide chromatin accessibility; however, its ability to detect active regulatory regions can depend on the depth of sequencing coverage and the signal-to-noise ratio. Here we introduce AtacWorks, a deep learning toolkit to denoise sequencing coverage and identify regulatory peaks at base-pair resolution from low cell count, low-coverage, or low-quality ATAC-seq data. Models trained by AtacWorks can detect peaks from cell types not seen in the training data, and are generalizable across diverse sample preparations and experimental platforms. We demonstrate that AtacWorks enhances the sensitivity of single-cell experiments by producing results on par with those of conventional methods using ~10 times as many cells, and further show that this framework can be adapted to enable cross-modality inference of protein-DNA interactions. Finally, we establish that AtacWorks can enable new biological discoveries by identifying active regulatory regions associated with lineage priming in rare subpopulations of hematopoietic stem cells. ATAC-seq measures chromatin accessibility as a proxy for the activity of DNA regulatory regions across the genome. Here the authors present AtacWorks, a deep learning tool to denoise and identify accessible chromatin regions from low cell count, low-coverage, or low-quality ATAC-seq data.
Nvidia, Harvard researchers use AI to find active areas in cell DNA
Researchers from Nvidia and Harvard are publishing research this week on a new way they've applied deep learning to epigenomics -- the study of modifications on the genetic material of a cell. Using a neural network originally developed for computer vision, the researchers have developed a deep learning toolkit that can help scientists study rare cell types -- and possibly identify mutations that make people more vulnerable to diseases. The new deep learning toolkit, called AtacWorks, "allows us to study how diseases and genomic variation influence very specific types of cells of the human body," Nvidia researcher Avantika Lal, lead author on the paper, told reporters last week. "And this will enable previously impossible biological discovery, and we hope would also contribute to the discovery of new drug targets." AtacWorks, featured in Nature Communications, works with ATAC-seq -- a popular method for finding the parts of the human genome that are accessible in cells.
Loss Functions in Deep Learning
For a more in-depth explanation of Forward Propagation and Backpropagation in neural networks, please refer to my other article What is Deep Learning and How does it work? For a given input vector x the neural network predicts an output, which is generally called a prediction vector y. We must compute a dot-product between the input vector x and the weight matrix W1 that connects the first layers with the second. After that, we apply a non-linear activation function to the result of the dot-product. Depending on the task we want the network to do, this prediction vector represents different things.
