Amazon begins shifting Alexa's cloud AI to its own silicon

#artificialintelligence

On Thursday, an Amazon AWS blogpost announced that the company has moved most of the cloud processing for its Alexa personal assistant off of Nvidia GPUs and onto its own Inferentia Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). AWS Inferentia is a custom chip, built by AWS, to accelerate machine learning inference workloads and optimize their cost. Each NeuronCore implements a high-performance systolic array matrix multiply engine, which massively speeds up typical deep learning operations such as convolution and transformers. NeuronCores are also equipped with a large on-chip cache, which helps cut down on external memory accesses, dramatically reducing latency and increasing throughput. When an Amazon customer--usually someone who owns an Echo or Echo dot--makes use of the Alexa personal assistant, very little of the processing is done on the device itself.

Deep-learning-based algorithm helps radiologists detect cerebral aneurysms

#artificialintelligence

The aneurysm was missed in the initial report but successfully detected with the deep-learning algorithm. Researchers in China have developed a deep-learning-based algorithm that could help radiologists detect potentially life-threatening cerebral aneurysms on CT angiography images. Cerebral aneurysms are weak spots in blood vessels in the brain, which can balloon out and fill with blood. If such a bulging aneurysm leaks or ruptures, it can cause serious symptoms and sometimes be fatal. The risk of rupture depends on the size, shape and location of the aneurysm, making detection and characterization of cerebral aneurysms vital.

Here are some analytics that could be explored from football games using AI. The notebook for this work can be found here.


Physics can solve key challenges facing AI, study finds - The Jerusalem Post

#artificialintelligence

The field of physics could provide a solution to some of the key challenges encountered in the artificial intelligence field, according to new research from Bar-Ilan University.Some of the key challenges facing the AI field include estimating necessary dataset size, how many circumstances does it need to learn beforehand and fast, on the spot decision making skills. However, tackling these challenges may be possible through the use of a central concept in physics known as power-law scaling.As described in an article published last Thursday in the academic journal Scientific Reports, the power-law scaling arises from a number of different phenomena, including the timing of magnitude of earthquakes to stock market fluctuations and to even frequency of word use in linguistics. It is this concept, which originally was thought of to describe how magnets are formed in the iron bulk cooling process, that could see application in the AI field, especially with deep learning. "Test errors with online learning, where each example is trained only once, are in close agreement with state-of-the-art algorithms consisting of a very large number of epochs, where each example is trained many times. This result has an important implication on rapid decision making such as robotic control," the study's lead author, Prof. Ido Kanter of Bar-Ilan's Department of Physics and Gonda (Goldshmied) Multidisciplinary Brain Research Center, said in a statement. "The power-law scaling, governing different dynamical rules and network architectures, enables the classification and hierarchy creation among the different examined classification or decision problems.""One of the important ingredients of the advanced deep learning algorithm is the recent new bridge between experimental neuroscience and advanced artificial intelligence learning algorithms," said co-author and PhD student Shira Sardi."This


IBM Fine-Grained Visual Recognition Powers AR Tech Support

#artificialintelligence

A broken computer, appliance or car used to mean a visit to a technician or mechanic, but the recent proliferation of DIY videos has more people performing such repair jobs themselves. Now, a pair of IBM researchers have taken instructional video to the next level, with a new fine-grained visual recognition approach and augmented reality (AR) system that can look at the actual piece of hardware being working on and integrate real-time, step-by-step tech support and guidance. The researchers say the proposed method can increase the rate of first-time fixes and reduce hardware disruption recovery time by automatically detecting the state of an object and presenting the right set of information in the right context. AR basically overlays media and graphics on what we see in the real world. Major technological advances and the increased availability of AR software development kits (SDKs) such as ARKit and ARCore over the last decade have lowered the entry barrier for AR developers. In recent years, machine learning has informed the emergence of intelligent systems that further enhance the AR experience.


Identifying Transcriptomic Correlates of Histology using Deep Learning

#artificialintelligence

Linking phenotypes to specific gene expression profiles is an extremely important problem in biology, which has been approached mainly by correlation methods or, more fundamentally, by studying the effects of gene perturbations. However, genome-wide perturbations involve extensive experimental efforts, which may be prohibitive for certain organisms. On the other hand, the characterization of the various phenotypes frequently requires an expert's subjective interpretation, such as a histopathologist's description of tissue slide images in terms of complex visual features (e.g. In this paper, we use Deep Learning to eliminate the inherent subjective nature of these visual histological features and link them to genomic data, thus establishing a more precisely quantifiable correlation between transcriptomes and phenotypes. Using a dataset of whole slide images with matching gene expression data from 39 normal tissue types, we first developed a Deep Learning tissue classifier with an accuracy of 94%.


One Of The Most Benchmarked Human Motion Recognition Dataset In Deep Learning

#artificialintelligence

HMDB-51 is an human motion recognition dataset with 51 activity classifications, which altogether contain around 7,000 physically clarified cuts separated from an assortment of sources going from digitized motion pictures to YouTube.It was developed by the researchers: H. Kuehne, H. Jhuang, E. Garrote and T.Serre in the year 2011. The dataset contains 51 particular activity classes, each containing at any rate 101 clips for an aggregate of 6,766 video cuts extricated from a wide scope of sources. The labels for each clip incorporate the camera viewpoint, the video quality, and the number of entertainers engaged with the activity. Here, we will examine data contained in this dataset, how it was gathered, and provide some benchmark models that gave high precision on this dataset. Further, we will implement the HMDB using Pytorch and Keras Library.


Estimating the carbon footprint of deep learning algorithms

#artificialintelligence

IT students in Denmark have created a software program that can determine the energy consumption and the amount of CO2 generated by the development of deep learning algorithms. According to their estimates, hardware used to train a deep learning algorithm can use worrying amounts of energy from an environmental standpoint. Whether browsing movies suggested by Netflix based on your viewing history, asking your voice assistant a question or interacting with a chatbot on an e-commerce website, all of these everyday online processes rely on deep learning algorithms. However, developing algorithms contributes to digital pollution. And it's precisely this environmental impact that students from the IT department of the University of Copenhagen have sought to quantify, using their Carbontracker software program. Developed by Lasse F. Wolff Anthony and Benjamin Kanding, with assistant professor Raghavendra Selvan, the program can calculate and predict the energy consumption and CO2 generated by training deep learning models.

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Time series modelling is essential for solving tasks such as predictive maintenance, quality control and optimisation. Deep learning is widely used for solving such problems. When managing complex manufacturing process with neural networks, engineers need to know why machine learning model made specific decision and what are possible outcomes of following model recommendation. In this paper we develop framework for capturing and explaining temporal dependencies in time series data using deep neural networks and test it on various synthetic and real world datasets.
