Learning Centric Wireless Resource Allocation for Edge Computing: Algorithm and Experiment
Zhou, Liangkai, Hong, Yuncong, Wang, Shuai, Han, Ruihua, Li, Dachuan, Wang, Rui, Hao, Qi
Edge intelligence is an emerging network architecture that integrates sensing, communication, computing components, and supports various machine learning applications, where a fundamental communication question is: how to allocate the limited wireless resources (such as time, energy) to the simultaneous model training of heterogeneous learning tasks? Existing methods ignore two important facts: 1) different models have heterogeneous demands on training data; 2) there is a mismatch between the simulated environment and the real-world environment. As a result, they could lead to low learning performance in practice. This paper proposes the learning centric wireless resource allocation (LCWRA) scheme that maximizes the worst learning performance of multiple classification tasks. Analysis shows that the optimal transmission time has an inverse power relationship with respect to the classification error. Finally, both simulation and experimental results are provided to verify the performance of the proposed LCWRA scheme and its robustness in real implementation.
Remarks on Optimal Scores for Speaker Recognition
In this article, we first establish the theory of optimal scores for speaker recognition. Our analysis shows that the minimum Bayes risk (MBR) decisions for both the speaker identification and speaker verification tasks can be based on a normalized likelihood (NL). When the underlying generative model is a linear Gaussian, the NL score is mathematically equivalent to the PLDA likelihood ratio, and the empirical scores based on cosine distance and Euclidean distance can be seen as approximations of this linear Gaussian NL score under some conditions. We discuss a number of properties of the NL score and perform a simple simulation experiment to demonstrate the properties of the NL score.
Investigating African-American Vernacular English in Transformer-Based Text Generation
Groenwold, Sophie, Ou, Lily, Parekh, Aesha, Honnavalli, Samhita, Levy, Sharon, Mirza, Diba, Wang, William Yang
The growth of social media has encouraged the written use of African American Vernacular English (AAVE), which has traditionally been used only in oral contexts. However, NLP models have historically been developed using dominant English varieties, such as Standard American English (SAE), due to text corpora availability. We investigate the performance of GPT-2 on AAVE text by creating a dataset of intent-equivalent parallel AAVE/SAE tweet pairs, thereby isolating syntactic structure and AAVE- or SAE-specific language for each pair. We evaluate each sample and its GPT-2 generated text with pretrained sentiment classifiers and find that while AAVE text results in more classifications of negative sentiment than SAE, the use of GPT-2 generally increases occurrences of positive sentiment for both. Additionally, we conduct human evaluation of AAVE and SAE text generated with GPT-2 to compare contextual rigor and overall quality.
This Brain-Inspired AI Self-Drives With Just 19 Neurons
Recently, a team of researchers from MIT, Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria) and Technische Universitรคt Wien (TU Wien) developed an AI system by combining brain-inspired neural computation principles and scalable deep learning architectures. The AI system is basically a brain-inspired intelligent agent that learns to control an autonomous vehicle directly from its camera inputs. The researchers discovered that a single algorithm with 19 control neurons, connecting 32 encapsulated input features to outputs by 253 synapses, learns to map high-dimensional inputs into steering commands. One of the interesting facts of this research is that the AI agent is inspired by the neural computations known to happen in biological brains in order to achieve a remarkable degree of controllability. They took the inspiration from animals as small as the roundworms.

What is Reinforcement Learning and how does it function?
Reinforcement learning (RL) is a subset of machine learning (ML). It allows an agent to learn through the repercussions of actions in a specific ecosystem. It can be used to train a robot with new tricks. It is a behavioral learning model where the algorithm offers data analysis feedback, directing the user to get the best outcome. It varies from other forms of supervised learning as the sample data set does not train the machine. It learns by trial and error, instead.
