linkedin/detext

#artificialintelligence

DeText is a Deep Text understanding framework for NLP related ranking, classification, and language generation tasks. It leverages semantic matching using deep neural networks to understand member intents in search and recommender systems. As a general NLP framework, currently DeText can be applied to many tasks, including search & recommendation ranking, multi-class classification and query understanding tasks. A general framework with great flexibility to meet requirement of different production applications. Reaching a good balance between effectiveness and efficiency to meet the industry requirements.


Unifying Single-host and Distributed Machine Learning with Maggy

#artificialintelligence

This blog covers the oblivious training function and the internals of Maggy presented at Spark AI Summit 2020, on June 26th. TLDR; Maggy is an open-source framework for distributed machine learning. In this post, we introduce a new unified framework for writing core ML training logic as "oblivious training functions". Maggy enables you to reuse the same training code whether training small models on your laptop or reusing the same code to scale out hyperparameter tuning or distributed deep learning on a cluster. Maggy enables the replacement of the current waterfall development process for distributed ML applications, where code is rewritten at every stage, with an iterative development process.


Using Machine Learning to Track COVID-19

#artificialintelligence

"Working on a real-life project that will introduce students to how algorithms work in applications with crucial outcomes will provide them with the important skills that can transfer to other areas of computer and data science." As the race for a COVID-19 vaccine continues, Moataz Khalifa, assistant professor and director of Data Education at Washington and Lee University, is involved in an equally promising research project that focuses on a non-invasive, early detection system of the virus. In March, just as the numbers of cases were climbing around the world, Khalifa was invited by Wu Feng, Elizabeth & James Turner Fellow, professor of computer science at Virginia Tech and director of its SyNeRGy lab, to join his research lab to develop a deep-learning algorithm to enhance low-radiation CT scans of people's lungs. Feng's current research was already investigating similar applications in CT scans of brain tumors, and he received two National Science Foundation grants totaling $250,000 to expand his project to work on the COVID-19 early detection system. Currently, the genetic-based RT-PCR tests available to detect COVID-19 rely on swabbing the nasal cavity.


The Importance Of No Free Lunch Theorems In Deep Learning

#artificialintelligence

"The no free lunch theorem calls for prudency when solving ML problems by requiring that you test multiple algorithms and solutions with a clear mind and without prejudice." In a paper titled, 'The Lack of A Priori Distinctions Between Learning Algorithms', that dates back to 1996, David Wolpert explored the following questions: He showed that for any two algorithms, A and B, there are as many scenarios where A will perform worse than B as there are instances where A will outperform B. In short, for all possible problems, average performance of both the algorithms is the same. Although the no free lunch theorem by Wolpert has a more theoretical than practical appeal, there are some implications that should still be taken into account by everyone working with machine learning algorithms. These theorems prove that under a uniform distribution over search problems or learning problems, all algorithms perform equally. Search and learning are key aspects of ML and the NFL theorems have something to deliver here.


Elon Musk Warns That AI Could Overtake Humanity in 5 Years

#artificialintelligence

Elon Musk is sounding the alarm that there is a strong possibility that humans will be overtaken by artificial intelligence within the next five years. The billionaire engineer, who co-founded the artificial intelligence research lab OpenAI in 2015 and was an early investor in DeepMind, has often warned in recent years about the species-ending threat posed by advanced AI. "My assessment about why AI is overlooked by very smart people is that very smart people do not think a computer can ever be as smart as they are. And this is hubris and obviously false," Musk told The New York Times. Musk added that the invaluable experience of working with different types of AI at Tesla has given him the confidence to say "that we're headed toward a situation where AI is vastly smarter than humans, and I think that time frame is less than five years from now. But that doesn't mean that everything goes to hell in five years. It just means that things get unstable or weird."


Deeplearning4j: Deep learning and ETL for the JVM

#artificialintelligence

Eclipse Deeplearning4j is an open source, distributed, deep learning library for the JVM. Deeplearning4j is written in Java and is compatible with any JVM language, such as Scala, Clojure, or Kotlin. The underlying computations are written in C, C, and Cuda. Keras will serve as the Python API. Integrated with Hadoop and Apache Spark, Deeplearning4j brings AI to business environments for use on distributed GPUs and CPUs.


How the Coronavirus Pandemic Is Breaking Artificial Intelligence and How to Fix It

#artificialintelligence

As covid-19 disrupted the world in March, online retail giant Amazon struggled to respond to the sudden shift caused by the pandemic. Household items like bottled water and toilet paper, which never ran out of stock, suddenly became in short supply. One- and two-day deliveries were delayed for several days. Though Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos would go on to make $24 billion during the pandemic, initially, the company struggled with adjusting its logistics, transportation, supply chain, purchasing, and third-party seller processes to prioritize stocking and delivering higher-priority items. Under normal circumstances, Amazon's complicated logistics are mostly handled by artificial intelligence algorithms.


AI algorithm detects deepfake videos with high accuracy

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) contributes significantly to good in the world. From reducing pollution to making roads safer with self-driving cars to enabling better healthcare through medical big-data analysis, AI still has plenty of untapped potential. Unfortunately, just like any technology in the world, AI can be used by those with less noble intentions. Such is the case with a certain AI-based technique called "deepfake" (combination of "deep learning" and "fake"), which uses deep neural networks to easily create fake videos in which the face of one person is superimposed on that of another. These tools are easy to use, even for people with no background in programming or video editing.
