It can churn out emails, computer code, internet ads, plotlines for video games, guitar riffs and suggestions for Halloween costumes. It can write disarmingly plausible poems in the spirit of Emily Dickinson, prose in the style of Ernest Hemingway and even, if so instructed, an imaginary conversation between Dickinson and Hemingway. The possibilities seem almost endless. So when I had the opportunity to interact with GPT-3, a new language-generation model that has caused a sensation in the artificial intelligence world over the past few months, I enlisted its help in drafting myself a new biography, infused with the spirit of hero Luke Skywalker. Trained on pretty much all the text accessible on the internet, GPT-3 is remarkable for its speed, scale and versatility.

Deep reinforcement learning has a variety of different algorithms that solves many types of complex problems in various situations, one class of these algorithms is policy gradient (PG), which applies to a wide range of problems in both discrete and continuous action spaces, but applying it naively is inefficient, because of its poor sample complexity and high variance, which result in slower learning, to mitigate this we can use a baseline. The cause of the high variance problem is the reward scale, we think of policy gradient as it increases the probability of taking good actions and decreases it for bad actions, but mostly this is not the case, imagine a situation where the "good" episode return was 10 and the "bad" one was 5, then both probabilities of the actions in those episodes will be increased, which is not what we want, this problem is what baselines can solve. Mathematically, a baseline is a function when added to an expectation, does not change the expected value (or does not introduce bias), but at the same time, it can significantly affect the variance. Following this definition, we want a baseline for the policy gradient that can reduce its high variance and does not change its direction, a natural thing to do is to take the actions that are better than average, increase their probability, and decrease the probability of the actions that are worse than average, this is implemented by calculating the average reward over the trajectory and subtract it from the reward at the current timestep, this kind of baselines is called the average reward baseline. Now, we will show how baselines do not change the expected value, and we can choose any baselines we want.

IBM Corp. today introduced new versions of its Cloud Pak for Data and Cloud Pak for Automation products that will enable enterprises to harness deep learning models in their operations more easily. The Cloud Pak product family is a set of software solutions designed to streamline a variety of tasks ranging from cybersecurity to data analytics. The entire lineup is based on Red Hat OpenShift. Thanks to OpenShift, the solutions can run both in the public cloud and on on-premises infrastructure. Deep learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that uses artificial neural networks to learn from massive amounts of data. IBM Chief Executive Arvind Krishna (pictured) in October named the hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence as core pillars of the company's revenue growth strategy.

Power-law scaling, a central concept in critical phenomena, is found to be useful in deep learning, where optimized test errors on handwritten digit examples converge as a power-law to zero with database size. For rapid decision making with one training epoch, each example is presented only once to the trained network, the power-law exponent increased with the number of hidden layers. For the largest dataset, the obtained test error was estimated to be in the proximity of state-of-the-art algorithms for large epoch numbers. Power-law scaling assists with key challenges found in current artificial intelligence applications and facilitates an a priori dataset size estimation to achieve a desired test accuracy. It establishes a benchmark for measuring training complexity and a quantitative hierarchy of machine learning tasks and algorithms.

In this blog post, we will talk about the evolution of image classification from a high-level perspective. The goal here is to try to understand the key changes that were brought along the years, and why they succeeded in solving our problems. Recent research in deep learning has been largely inspired by the way our brain works. When you think of it, it is fascinating to know that with a given input, our brain processes features that say let us know of the world that surrounds us. As a result, architectures are crucial for us, not only because many challenges rely on the tasks we can perform with them.

Gary Marcus is a prominent figure in AI. He dedicated his career to understanding intelligence, and this is what his approach to AI is based on. He was not particularly talented at writing, yet became a best-selling author. He is an academic who founded two startups -- one acquired by Uber, another just scored $15 million to make building smarter robots easier. He has a humanities background, yet became one of the more prominent, and controversial, figures in AI.

Using algorithms derived from neuroscience, AI research company Numenta has achieved a dramatic performance improvement in deep learning networks, without any loss in accuracy. Their breakthrough is also vastly more energy efficient. Today's deep learning networks have accomplished a great deal but are running into fundamental limitations – including their need for enormous compute power. A large, complex model can cost millions of dollars to train and to run, and the power required is growing at an exponential rate. New algorithms are essential to break through this performance bottleneck.

In last post, we've built a 1-hidden layer neural network with basic functions in python. To generalize and empower our network, in this post, we will build a n-layer neural network to do a binary classification task, in which n is customisable (it is recommended to go over my last introduction of neural network as the basics of theory would not be repeated here). All images created on my own, referred images are source-added. Firstly, weights need to be initialized for different layers. Note that in general, the input is not considered as a layer, but output is.
