Deep Learning? What's it?

#artificialintelligence

The 2 main members of this family are Machine Learning & Deep Learning! Don't get scared by their names at all! Tech in 3 has explained ML in very simple terms! If you haven't read that, please visit our article on "What is Machine Learning??" Deep Learning is basically born out of mimicking the human brain, especially the neural system! The way we humans see objects, perceive them, learn them, and finally classify the output, DL is purely formed from that vision! Deep Learning is not new! It has been there for years, but it is in the hype due to the ample availability of processing power and data!

Representation Learning from Limited Educational Data with Crowdsourced Labels

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Representation learning has been proven to play an important role in the unprecedented success of machine learning models in numerous tasks, such as machine translation, face recognition and recommendation. The majority of existing representation learning approaches often require a large number of consistent and noise-free labels. However, due to various reasons such as budget constraints and privacy concerns, labels are very limited in many real-world scenarios. Directly applying standard representation learning approaches on small labeled data sets will easily run into over-fitting problems and lead to sub-optimal solutions. Even worse, in some domains such as education, the limited labels are usually annotated by multiple workers with diverse expertise, which yields noises and inconsistency in such crowdsourcing settings. In this paper, we propose a novel framework which aims to learn effective representations from limited data with crowdsourced labels. Specifically, we design a grouping based deep neural network to learn embeddings from a limited number of training samples and present a Bayesian confidence estimator to capture the inconsistency among crowdsourced labels. Furthermore, to expedite the training process, we develop a hard example selection procedure to adaptively pick up training examples that are misclassified by the model. Extensive experiments conducted on three real-world data sets demonstrate the superiority of our framework on learning representations from limited data with crowdsourced labels, comparing with various state-of-the-art baselines. In addition, we provide a comprehensive analysis on each of the main components of our proposed framework and also introduce the promising results it achieved in our real production to fully understand the proposed framework.


Deep Hiearchical Multi-Label Classification Applied to Chest X-Ray Abnormality Taxonomies

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

CXRs are a crucial and extraordinarily common diagnostic tool, leading to heavy research for CAD solutions. However, both high classification accuracy and meaningful model predictions that respect and incorporate clinical taxonomies are crucial for CAD usability. To this end, we present a deep HMLC approach for CXR CAD. Different than other hierarchical systems, we show that first training the network to model conditional probability directly and then refining it with unconditional probabilities is key in boosting performance. In addition, we also formulate a numerically stable cross-entropy loss function for unconditional probabilities that provides concrete performance improvements. Finally, we demonstrate that HMLC can be an effective means to manage missing or incomplete labels. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to apply HMLC to medical imaging CAD. We extensively evaluate our approach on detecting abnormality labels from the CXR arm of the PLCO dataset, which comprises over $198,000$ manually annotated CXRs. When using complete labels, we report a mean AUC of 0.887, the highest yet reported for this dataset. These results are supported by ancillary experiments on the PadChest dataset, where we also report significant improvements, 1.2% and 4.1% in AUC and AP, respectively over strong "flat" classifiers. Finally, we demonstrate that our HMLC approach can much better handle incompletely labelled data. These performance improvements, combined with the inherent usefulness of taxonomic predictions, indicate that our approach represents a useful step forward for CXR CAD.


LA-HCN: Label-based Attention for Hierarchical Multi-label TextClassification Neural Network

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Hierarchical multi-label text classification(HMTC) problems become popular recently because of its practicality. Most existing algorithms for HMTC focus on the design of classifiers, and are largely referred to as local, global, or a combination of local/global approaches. However, a few studies have started exploring hierarchical feature extraction based on the label hierarchy associating with text in HMTC. In this paper, a \textbf{N}eural network-based method called \textbf{LA-HCN} is proposed where a novel \textbf{L}abel-based \textbf{A}ttention module is designed to hierarchically extract important information from the text based on different labels. Besides, local and global document embeddings are separately generated to support the respective local and global classifications. In our experiments, LA-HCN achieves the top performance on the four public HMTC datasets when compared with other neural network-based state-of-the-art algorithms. The comparison between LA-HCN with its variants also demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed label-based attention module as well as the use of the combination of local and global classifications. By visualizing the learned attention(words), we find LA-HCN is able to extract meaningful but different information from text based on different labels which is helpful for human understanding and explanation of classification results.

Fuzzy Simplicial Networks: A Topology-Inspired Model to Improve Task Generalization in Few-shot Learning

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Deep learning has shown great success in settings with massive amounts of data but has struggled when data is limited. Few-shot learning algorithms, which seek to address this limitation, are designed to generalize well to new tasks with limited data. Typically, models are evaluated on unseen classes and datasets that are defined by the same fundamental task as they are trained for (e.g. category membership). One can also ask how well a model can generalize to fundamentally different tasks within a fixed dataset (for example: moving from category membership to tasks that involve detecting object orientation or quantity). To formalize this kind of shift we define a notion of "independence of tasks" and identify three new sets of labels for established computer vision datasets that test a model's ability to generalize to tasks which draw on orthogonal attributes in the data. We use these datasets to investigate the failure modes of metric-based few-shot models. Based on our findings, we introduce a new few-shot model called Fuzzy Simplicial Networks (FSN) which leverages a construction from topology to more flexibly represent each class from limited data. In particular, FSN models can not only form multiple representations for a given class but can also begin to capture the low-dimensional structure which characterizes class manifolds in the encoded space of deep networks. We show that FSN outperforms state-of-the-art models on the challenging tasks we introduce in this paper while remaining competitive on standard few-shot benchmarks.
