The golden age of deep learning has popularized the depth-efficiency notion: From an expressiveness standpoint, increasing a neural network's size by adding more layers (deepening) is advantageous relative to other parameter increase alternatives, such as increasing the dimension of the internal representation (widening). Beyond overwhelming empirical signals for this notion, depth-efficiency was theoretically supported from a variety of angles. Diminishing returns in the case of very deep networks were mainly attributed to optimization issues, and indeed alleviating these issues allowed network depths to mount from 10s to 100s and beyond, allowing for deep convolutional networks (ConvNets) to advance the state-of-the-art in computer vision applications. Since the introduction of the Transformer, along with its encoder-only variant, BERT, self-attention based deep learning architectures have taken over the field of natural language processing. However, in contrast to the depth "arms race" that took place in the ConvNet case, the leading self-attention networks are not much deeper than the original depth-12 BERT-base model.

Deep learning (DL) models are known for tackling the nonlinearities associated with data, which the traditional estimators such as logistic regression couldn't. However, there is still a cloud of doubt with regards to the increased use of computationally intensive DL for simple classification tasks. To find out if DL really outperforms shallow models significantly, the researchers from the University of Pennsylvania experiment with three ML pipelines that involve traditional methods, AutoML and DL in a paper titled, 'Is Deep Learning Necessary For Simple Classification Tasks.' The UPenn researchers stated that a support-vector machine (SVM) model might predict more accurately susceptibility to a certain complex genetic disease than a gradient boosting model trained on the same dataset. Moreover, choosing different hyperparameters within that SVM model can vary performances.

AI software innovator Mipsology today announced that its Zebra neural network accelerating software has been integrated into the latest build of Xilinx's Alveo U50 data center accelerator card, the industry's first low profile adaptable accelerator with PCIe Gen 4 support. Zebra's ease-of-use and high throughput enable the Alveo U50 to compute convolutional neural networks with zero effort. This is the latest in a series of Zebra-enhanced Xilinx boards that enable inference acceleration for a wide variety of sophisticated AI applications. "The level of acceleration that Zebra brings to our Alveo cards puts CPU and GPU accelerators to shame," said Ramine Roane, Xilinx's Vice President of marketing. "Combined with Zebra, Alveo U50 meets the flexibility and performance needs of AI workloads and offers high throughput and low latency performance advantages to any deployment."

This is the second part of an article discussing new areas of game theory that are influencing deep reinforcement learning systems. The first part focused on types of games that we are actively seeing in multi-agent reinforcement learning systems. Today, I would like to cover three new areas of deep learning theory that can influence new generations of reinforcement learning systems. Game theory plays a fundamental factor in modern artificial intelligence(AI) solutions. Specifically, deep reinforcement learning(DRL) is an area of AI that embraced game theory as a first-class citize.

The wood species classification is an essential field of investigation that can help to combat illegal logging, then providing the timber certification and allowing the application of correct timber taxing. Today, the wood classification relies on highly qualified professionals that analyze texture patterns on timber sections. However, these professionals are scarce, costly, and subject to failure. Therefore, the automation of this task using computational methods is promising. Deep learning has proven to be the ultimate technique in computer vision tasks, but it has not been much exploited to perform timber classification due to the difficulty of building large databases to train such networks. In this study, we introduced the biggest data set of wood timber microscope images to the date, with 281 species, having three types of timber sections: transverse, radial, and tangential.

Siamese network, as the name implies, needs a pair of input sample images to get a pair of latent vectors. As shown in Figure 1, two sample images Xa and Xb are fed into base networks one after the other to get latent vectors G(Xa) and G(Xb). Here, only one base network exists and its weights are shared for the two input sample images. Then in the latent embedding space, the distance D between the two latent vectors are calculated. Finally, the calculated distance D is substituted into the loss function (Figure 1) and the base network is tuned via back propagation for better latent vector embedding.

Dashcams are an essential tool in a trucking fleet, both for the truck drivers and the fleet managers. Video footage can exonerate drivers in accidents, as well as provide opportunities for fleet managers to coach drivers. However, with a continuously running camera, there is simply too much footage to examine. When a KeepTruckin dashcam is paired with one of our Vehicle Gateways, the camera only automatically uploads the footage immediately preceding a driver performance event (DPE), which is an anomalous and potentially dangerous driver-initiated event (e.g. With all of the videos uploaded per day, fleet managers need to sift through the incoming data so that they can direct their attention to the most important videos for safety analysis. And of the selected videos for viewing, they need video overlays to more easily understand what happened in them.
