Preview this Udemy Course GET COUPON CODE Description Welcome to Cutting-Edge AI! This is technically Deep Learning in Python part 11 of my deep learning series, and my 3rd reinforcement learning course. Deep Reinforcement Learning is actually the combination of 2 topics: Reinforcement Learning and Deep Learning (Neural Networks). While both of these have been around for quite some time, it's only been recently that Deep Learning has really taken off, and along with it, Reinforcement Learning. The maturation of deep learning has propelled advances in reinforcement learning, which has been around since the 1980s, although some aspects of it, such as the Bellman equation, have been for much longer.

Summary – Undoubtedly, AI augmentation has become the core subject of the AI world. To be precise, augmented AI is here to show the world that cognitive ability is here just to support human intelligence and it is not here to replace it. Nonetheless, it is the role human intelligence possess using deep learning and machine learning algorithms to solve complex problems. Simply said, AI augmentation is here to make life much more simple as such to support, accelerate, and increase the efficiency of the tasks humans perform. Such instances include tasks like auto-transcription software and self-driving cars.


GPT-3: We're at the very beginning of a new app ecosystem

#artificialintelligence

The most impressive thing about OpenAI's natural language processing (NLP) model, GPT-3, is its sheer size. With more than 175 billion weighted connections between words known as parameters, the transformer encoder-decoder model blows its 1.5 billion parameter predecessor, GPT-2, out of the water. This has allowed the model to generate text that is surprisingly human-like after only being fed a few examples of the task you want it to do. Its release in 2020 dominated headlines, and people were scrambling to get on the waitlist to access its API hosted on OpenAI's cloud service. Now, months later, as more users have gained access to the API (myself included), interesting applications and use cases have been popping up every day.


CT-less Direct Correction of Attenuation and Scatter in the Image Space Using Deep Learning for Whole-Body FDG PET: Potential Benefits and Pitfalls

#artificialintelligence

To demonstrate the feasibility of CT-less attenuation and scatter correction (ASC) in the image space using deep learning for whole-body PET, with a focus on the potential benefits and pitfalls. In this retrospective study, 110 whole-body fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT studies acquired in 107 patients (mean age standard deviation, 58 years 18; age range, 11–92 years; 72 females) from February 2016 through January 2018 were randomly collected. A total of 37.3% (41 of 110) of the studies showed metastases, with diverse FDG PET findings throughout the whole body. A U-Net–based network was developed for directly transforming noncorrected PET (PETNC) into attenuation- and scatter-corrected PET (PETASC). Deep learning–corrected PET (PETDL) images were quantitatively evaluated by using the standardized uptake value (SUV) of the normalized root mean square error, the peak signal-to-noise ratio, and the structural similarity index, in addition to a joint histogram for statistical analysis. Qualitative reviews by radiologists revealed the potential benefits and pitfalls of this correction method. The normalized root mean square error (0.21 0.05 [mean SUV standard deviation]), mean peak signal-to-noise ratio (36.3 3.0), mean structural similarity index (0.98 0.01), and voxelwise correlation (97.62%) of PETDL demonstrated quantitatively high similarity with PETASC. Radiologist reviews revealed the overall quality of PETDL. The potential benefits of PETDL include a radiation dose reduction on follow-up scans and artifact removal in the regions with attenuation correction– and scatter correction–based artifacts.


Center for Applied Data Ethics suggests treating AI like a bureaucracy

#artificialintelligence

A recent paper from the Center for Applied Data Ethics (CADE) at the University of San Francisco urges AI practitioners to adopt terms from anthropology when reviewing the performance of large machine learning models. The research suggests using this terminology to interrogate and analyze bureaucracy, states, and power structures in order to critically assess the performance of large machine learning models with the potential to harm people. "This paper centers power as one of the factors designers need to identify and struggle with, alongside the ongoing conversations about biases in data and code, to understand why algorithmic systems tend to become inaccurate, absurd, harmful, and oppressive. This paper frames the massive algorithmic systems that harm marginalized groups as functionally similar to massive, sprawling administrative states that James Scott describes in Seeing Like a State," the author wrote. The paper was authored by CADE fellow Ali Alkhatib, with guidance from director Rachel Thomas and CADE fellows Nana Young and Razvan Amironesei. The researchers particularly look to the work of James Scott, who has examined hubris in administrative planning and sociotechnical systems.


Top 3 Giant Tech Trends In 2021

#artificialintelligence

The possibility always exists, even if we neither accept it nor appreciate it! There is a reason to develop and that reason takes us ahead towards the impossible mission with speed and higher abilities. The idea of deep learning can be a reality since science has started walking towards it with the goal that it will be achieved. Nothing stands as impossible forever if we as professionals aim still higher during each passing semester. The fruit will be sweet of deep learning!


YouTuber asks an AI for video ideas, gets a surprising response

#artificialintelligence

British YouTuber Tom Scott has such a distinctive style to his videos that they can -- and have -- lent themselves quite well to parody in the past, both from humans and AIs alike. But for his latest video, Scott decided to use this to his advantage. After getting access to OpenAI's GPT-3 text generator, Scott fed it a large number of his previous video titles to see if it could come up with some new and original story ideas for him. And after a few false starts with titles that were either too boring or nonsensical, it ended up nailing it. "GPT-3 has a setting called Temperature, which is basically how predictable it should be," explains Scott in the video above.


Deep learning for load balancing of SDN‐based data center networks

#artificialintelligence

With the development of new communication technologies, the amount of data transmission has increased gradually. To satisfy this increasing computing resource demand effectively, the number of data center networks (DCNs), which are structures composed of servers connected with well‐organized‐switches, has increased worldwide. However, traditional switches do not efficiently satisfy the needs of DCNs. In recent years, an emerging networking architecture software‐defined network (SDN) has been proposed to manage the DCNs to control network switches and to deploy new network protocols. However, the main challenge in DCNs is to balance the load among servers.


Why 0.9? Towards Better Momentum Strategies in Deep Learning.

#artificialintelligence

Momentum is a widely-used strategy for accelerating the convergence of gradient-based optimization techniques. Momentum was designed to speed up learning in directions of low curvature, without becoming unstable in directions of high curvature. In deep learning, most practitioners set the value of momentum to 0.9 without attempting to further tune this hyperparameter (i.e., this is the default value for momentum in many popular deep learning packages). However, there is no indication that this choice for the value of momentum is universally well-behaved. Within this post, we overview recent research indicating that decaying the value of momentum throughout training can aid the optimization process.


OpenAI's new model can draw images from a written description

#artificialintelligence

The machine learning company OpenAI is developing models that improve computer vision and can produce original images from a text prompt. Why it matters: The new models are the latest steps in ongoing efforts to create machine learning systems that exhibit elements of general intelligence, while performing tasks that are actually useful in the real world -- without breaking the bank on computing power. What's happening: OpenAI today is announcing two new systems that attempt to do for images what its landmark GPT-3 model did last year for text generation. What they're saying: "Last year, we were able to make substantial progress on text with GPT-3, but the thing is that the world isn't just built on text," says Sutskever. "This is a step towards the grander goal of building a neural network that can work in both images and text."
