Types of activation functions in Deep Learning

#artificialintelligence

There are various aspects of deep learning that we usually have to consider while making a deep learning model. Choosing the right number of layers, the activation function, number of epochs, loss function, the optimizer to name a few. I am revisiting these concepts for one of my projects so I decided to write about the different activation functions we use. So why do we even use the activation function and not just feed the summation directly to the next layer. The problem if we do this would be that the layers of the neural network wont be able to learn complex functions over time. The activation function adds non linearity to the model.


Interview with Ionut Schiopu โ€“ ICIP 2020 award winner

AIHub

Ionut Schiopu and Adrian Munteanu received a Top Viewed Special Session Paper Award at the IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP 2020) for their paper "A study of prediction methods based on machine learning techniques for lossless image coding". Here, Ionut Schiopu tells us more about their work. The research topic of our paper is to introduce a more efficient algorithm for lossless image compression based on Machine Learning (ML) techniques, where the main objective is to minimize the amount of data required to represent the input image without any information loss. In recent years, a new research strategy for coding has emerged by exploring the advances brought by modern ML techniques by proposing novel hybrid coding solutions where specific modules in conventional coding frameworks are replaced with more efficient modules based on ML techniques. The paper follows this research strategy and uses a deep neural network to replace the prediction module in the conventional coding framework.


My Name Is GPT-3 and I Approved This Article

#artificialintelligence

So far, their impact on real-world technology has been small. But GPT-3 -- which learned from a far larger collection of online text than previous systems -- opens the door to a wide range of new possibilities, such as software that can speed the development of new smartphone apps, or chatbots that can converse in far more human ways than past technologies. As software designers, entrepreneurs, pundits and artists explore this system, each new experiment stokes an already heated debate over how powerful this breed of technology will ultimately be. While some say it may be a path toward truly intelligent machines, others argue that these experiments, while endlessly fascinating, are also misleading. "It is very fluent," said Mark Riedl, a professor and researcher at the Georgia Institute of Technology.


How Archaeologists Are Using Deep Learning to Dig Deeper

#artificialintelligence

A convolutional neural network, or C.N.N., is a type of artificial intelligence that is designed to analyze information that can be processed as a grid; it is especially well suited to analyzing photographs and other images. The network sees an image as a grid of pixels. The C.N.N. that Dr. Crespo designed starts by giving each pixel a rating based on how red it is, then another for green and for blue. After rating each pixel according to a variety of additional parameters, the network begins to analyze small groups of pixels, then successively larger ones, looking for matches or near-matches to the data it has been trained to spot. Working in their spare time, the two researchers ran 1,212 satellite images through the network for months, asking it to look for circular stone tombs and to overlook other circular, tomblike things such as piles of construction debris and irrigation ponds.


When A.I. Falls in Love

#artificialintelligence

This is a great time to be alive. The only problem is that, in the next five years, A.I. will replace millions of jobs. By 2020, over five million jobs will be lost, and the number of jobs will continue to increase with each passing year. By 2030, 50 percent of jobs will be lost. However, there will be a silver lining.

Researchers bring deep learning to IoT devices - Help Net Security

#artificialintelligence

This branch of artificial intelligence curates your social media and serves your Google search results. Soon, deep learning could also check your vitals or set your thermostat. MIT researchers have developed a system that could bring deep learning neural networks to new โ€“ and much smaller โ€“ places, like the tiny computer chips in wearable medical devices, household appliances, and the 250 billion other objects that constitute the IoT. The system, called MCUNet, designs compact neural networks that deliver unprecedented speed and accuracy for deep learning on IoT devices, despite limited memory and processing power. The technology could facilitate the expansion of the IoT universe while saving energy and improving data security.


AI and the transformation of the medical world

#artificialintelligence

Medical imaging is the process of capturing the structure of an inner organ or tissue. These images can assist medical staff with diagnostics, treatment, and monitoring of patients. It can also prevent any unnecessary invasive procedures. The global AI healthcare market is expected to grow from 4.9 billion USD in 2020 to 45.2 billion USD by 2026. This rapid growth rate can be explained by the many advantages AI has to offer.


Rage against the machine learning

#artificialintelligence

Before being an exaltation to Luddites (the English workers from the 19th century who actually destroyed textile machinery as a form of protest) or to some sort of technophobic movement, the provocative pun contained in the title of this article carries a methodological proposal, in the field of critical theory of information, to build a diagnosis about the algorithmic filtering of information, which reveals itself to be a structural characteristic of the new regime of information that brings challenges to human emancipation. Our analysis starts from the concept of mediation to problematize the belief, widespread in much of contemporary society, that the use of machine learning and deep learning techniques for algorithmic filtering of big data will provide answers and solutions to all our questions and problems. We will argue that the algorithmic mediation of information on the internet, which is responsible for deciding which information we will have access to and which will remain invisible, is operated according to the economic interests of the companies that control the platforms we visit on the internet, acting as obstacle to the prospects of informational diversity and autonomy that are fundamental in free and democratic societies.


Deep-learning based discovery of partial differential equations in integral form from sparse and noisy data

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Abstract: Data-driven discovery of partial differential equations (PDEs) has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Although significant progress has been made, certain unresolved issues remain. For example, for PDEs with high-order derivatives, the performance of existing methods is unsatisfactory, especially when the data are sparse and noisy. It is also difficult to discover heterogeneous parametric PDEs where heterogeneous parameters are embedded in the partial differential operators. In this work, a new framework combining deep-learning and integral form is proposed to handle the above-mentioned problems simultaneously, and improve the accuracy and stability of PDE discovery. In the framework, a deep neural network is firstly trained with observation data to generate metadata and calculate derivatives. Then, a unified integral form is defined, and the genetic algorithm is employed to discover the best structure. Finally, the value of parameters is calculated, and whether the parameters are constants or variables is identified. Numerical experiments proved that our proposed algorithm is more robust to noise and more accurate compared with existing methods due to the utilization of integral form. Our proposed algorithm is also able to discover PDEs with high-order derivatives or heterogeneous parameters accurately with sparse and noisy data. Keywords: PDE discovery; integral form; deep-learning; noisy data; heterogeneous parameters. 1. Introduction In the past, models of physical processes, such as the wave equation, the diffusion equation and Burgers equation, are derived from physical laws or summarized from experiments.
