Hands-on Guide To Albumentation - Python Library for Image Augmentation - Analytics India Magazine

#artificialintelligence

The performance of a deep learning model is influenced by large datasets and diversity of the dataset. But, there might be situations where the dataset is simply not large enough or diverse enough. In such cases, data augmentation is used. Data augmentation is a technique that enables you to significantly increase the diversity of data available for training models, without actually collecting new data. Although deep learning models come with inbuilt methods to augment the data, these can be inefficient or lacking some required functionality.


Commercialization of large language models

#artificialintelligence

NLP has reached the'image net' moment. This means there is an increasing ability to crack complex language problems with the newer language models. The availability of large open source pre-trained language models combined with transfer learning techniques has made it possible for users to solve complex problems with ease. This includes language translation, text classification, question answering, language understanding, and language generation. The advancement in NLP technology has fuelled a so-called war to build the next bigger, better language model that can beat competition by its sheer size and complexity of tasks that can be performed.


Microsoft is helping the government build AI disaster response tools

Engadget

The Department of Energy is teaming up with Microsoft to build AI tools that will help prevent and manage natural disasters, the agency announced today. Together, they'll co-chair the "First Five Consortium," a group that will focus on using predictive technology in areas like anticipating wildfires, managing fire lines, assessing overall damage, as well as handling search and rescue. The group is named after the critical first five minutes of a natural disaster -- the better first responders are prepared early on, the better they can contain issues and potentially save people. According to the DOE, its Pacific Northwest lab is already building on a prototype deep learning model that can help first responders make disaster-related decisions in near real time. We're still waiting on specific details, but the agency says that the model was originally developed by the Department of Defense's Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC).

Online Deep Learning (ODL) and Hedge Back-propagation

#artificialintelligence

As the main concept of deep neural networks is to train through back-propagation in a batch setting, the data is required to be available in an offline setting. As a consequence, the scheme is irrelevant for many practical situations, in which the data arrives in sequence and cannot be stored. ODL is very challenging as it cannot use back-propagation. Two years ago, Sahoo et al (2018) addressed the gap between online learning and deep learning, where they claimed that "without the power of depth, it would be difficult to learn complex patterns". They presented a novel framework for ODL (to be reviewed later).

AI-Powered Kiosks Help Spot COVID-19 in Pennsylvania

#artificialintelligence

Businesses are installing new thermal imaging kiosks to check employees and visitors for high temperatures and even face coverings. Watkins Security, LLC, a Johnstown-based company that specializes in networks and security systems, introduced the technology in response to interest from the local business community that is continuing efforts to protect people from COVID-19. Watkins Security, LLC, President Christopher Watkins said it's a form of artificial intelligence or deep learning technology. "There is a paradigm brewing. The market is heading to these types of systems โ€“ fast response, automatic. Every little second matters," he said.


Machine learning groups form Consortium for Python Data API Standards to reduce fragmentation

#artificialintelligence

Deep learning framework Apache MXNet and Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX) today launched the Consortium for Python Data API Standards to improve interoperability for machine learning practitioners and data scientists using any framework, library, or tool from the Python ecosystem. ONNX itself was formed by Facebook and Microsoft in 2017 to encourage interoperability between frameworks and tools. Today, ONNX includes nearly 40 organizations with influence in AI and data science, including AWS, Baidu, and IBM, along with hardware makers like Arm, Intel, and Qualcomm. The new consortium, which will develop standards for dataframes and arrays or tensors, hopes to address the fragmentation that has affected the data ecosystem in recent years. The Python programming language is used for Python dataframes like Pandas, PySpark, and Apache Arrow.


Optimization of operation parameters towards sustainable WWTP based on deep reinforcement learning

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

A large amount of wastewater has been produced nowadays. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are designed to eliminate pollutants and alleviate environmental pollution resulting from human activities. However, the construction and operation of WWTPs still have negative impacts. WWTPs are complex to control and optimize because of high nonlinearity and variation. This study used a novel technique, multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (DRL), to optimize dissolved oxygen (DO) and dosage in a hypothetical WWTP. The reward function is specially designed as LCA-based form to achieve sustainability optimization. Four scenarios: baseline, LCA-oriented, cost-oriented and effluent-oriented are considered. The result shows that optimization based on LCA has lowest environmental impacts. The comparison of different SRT indicates that a proper SRT can reduce negative impacts greatly. It is worth mentioning that the retrofitting of WWTPs should be implemented with the consideration of other environmental impacts except cost. Moreover, the comparison between DRL and genetic algorithm (GA) indicates that DRL can solve optimization problems effectively and has great extendibility. In a nutshell, there are still limits and shortcomings of this work, future studies are required.
