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.

Although Google's Deep Learning library Tensorflow has gained massive popularity over the past few years, PyTorch has been the library of choice for professionals and researchers around the globe for deep learning and artificial intelligence. Is it possible that Tensorflow is popular only because Google is popular and used effective marketing? Why did Tensorflow change so significantly between version 1 and version 2? Was there something deeply flawed with it, and are there still potential problems? It is less well-known that PyTorch is backed by another Internet giant, Facebook (specifically, the Facebook AI Research Lab - FAIR).


How can Startups Make Machine Learning Models Production-Ready?

#artificialintelligence

Today, every technology startup needs to embrace AI and machine learning models to stay relevant in their business. Machine learning (ML), if implemented well, can have a direct impact on a company's ability to succeed and raise the next round of funding. However, the path to implementing ML solutions comes with some specific hurdles for start-ups. Let's discuss the top considerations for getting ML models production-ready and the best approaches for a startup. An ML model is only as good as the data used to train it. For most startups, the biggest challenge is obtaining enough data related to the business problem they are trying to address in order to train the model sufficiently.


Deep Learning - Pushing the boundaries of health AI. How do we make it fair and the data safe? - Coda Change

#artificialintelligence

Over the last 5 years there has actually been a confluence of a few different historical threats. Weโ€™ve had health data being increasingly digitalised and weโ€™ve had the proliferation of accessible massive scale computing, both of which have un-locked a technique developed in the early 80โ€™s called deep learning, which is really good at pattern recognition over large data sets.Key trends in the last year include the first randomised clinical trials in the clinical application of AI in health, the potential for AI in clinical discovery particularly using multimodal data (including electronic medical records, imaging data, genomic data) and combining that to find patterns in very large data sets. This is the real beginning of precision medicine. Finally there are day to day clinical process applications being used to predict resource allocation or disease outbreaks.At the same time there are some systemic challenges facing AI in health, including workflow integration, bias, equity and just access. How can we mitigate these biases and make them fair.Finally how do we make this sensitive data safe? Is the answer Federated machine learning where we send the AI algorithms out to local networks and apply them there?


How To Build Your Own Chatbot Using Deep Learning

#artificialintelligence

Before jumping into the coding section, first, we need to understand some design concepts. Since we are going to develop a deep learning based model, we need data to train our model. But we are not going to gather or download any large dataset since this is a simple chatbot. We can just create our own dataset in order to train the model. To create this dataset, we need to understand what are the intents that we are going to train.

Machine Learning in a Nutshell

#artificialintelligence

Machine Learning, Artificial intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning are taking the world by storm, dominating conversations about how machines can replace humans by providing a competitive advantage to businesses. The World is currently preparing to enter the fourth industrial revolution -- the rise of the "intelligent machine." At the heart of this revolution is Artificial Intelligence (AI), Mimicking human cognitive functions like problem-solving, learning and decision making using algorithms. From speed to efficiency, AI offers an abundance of benefits. Numerous sectors, including healthcare, automotive, defence and retail have already witnessed the game-changing impact of AI.


Neural Bridge Sampling for Evaluating Safety-Critical Autonomous Systems

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Learning-based methodologies increasingly find applications in safety-critical domains like autonomous driving and medical robotics. Due to the rare nature of dangerous events, real-world testing is prohibitively expensive and unscalable. In this work, we employ a probabilistic approach to safety evaluation in simulation, where we are concerned with computing the probability of dangerous events. We develop a novel rare-event simulation method that combines exploration, exploitation, and optimization techniques to find failure modes and estimate their rate of occurrence. We provide rigorous guarantees for the performance of our method in terms of both statistical and computational efficiency. Finally, we demonstrate the efficacy of our approach on a variety of scenarios, illustrating its usefulness as a tool for rapid sensitivity analysis and model comparison that are essential to developing and testing safety-critical autonomous systems.


Detecting and adapting to crisis pattern with context based Deep Reinforcement Learning

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has reached super human levels in complex tasks like game solving (Go and autonomous driving). However, it remains an open question whether DRL can reach human level in applications to financial problems and in particular in detecting pattern crisis and consequently dis-investing. In this paper, we present an innovative DRL framework consisting in two sub-networks fed respectively with portfolio strategies past performances and standard deviations as well as additional contextual features. The second sub network plays an important role as it captures dependencies with common financial indicators features like risk aversion, economic surprise index and correlations between assets that allows taking into account context based information. We compare different network architectures either using layers of convolutions to reduce network's complexity or LSTM block to capture time dependency and whether previous allocations is important in the modeling. We also use adversarial training to make the final model more robust. Results on test set show this approach substantially over-performs traditional portfolio optimization methods like Markowitz and is able to detect and anticipate crisis like the current Covid one.


A contribution to Optimal Transport on incomparable spaces

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Optimal Transport is a theory that allows to define geometrical notions of distance between probability distributions and to find correspondences, relationships, between sets of points. Many machine learning applications are derived from this theory, at the frontier between mathematics and optimization. This thesis proposes to study the complex scenario in which the different data belong to incomparable spaces. In particular we address the following questions: how to define and apply Optimal Transport between graphs, between structured data? How can it be adapted when the data are varied and not embedded in the same metric space? This thesis proposes a set of Optimal Transport tools for these different cases. An important part is notably devoted to the study of the Gromov-Wasserstein distance whose properties allow to define interesting transport problems on incomparable spaces. More broadly, we analyze the mathematical properties of the various proposed tools, we establish algorithmic solutions to compute them and we study their applicability in numerous machine learning scenarii which cover, in particular, classification, simplification, partitioning of structured data, as well as heterogeneous domain adaptation.
