Deep Learning
A Primer: Understanding Artificial Intelligence (AI)
One of the most recognized applications of deep learning is chatbots. Chatbots are often used to provide sales assistance or customer support, the most common being the latter. These chatbots use workflows and deep learning to answer customer queries. As the service is used more and more and the machine gathers more data, deep learning enables a near-human conversation.
Unsupervised Pre-training for Speech Recognition (wav2vec)
Deep learning model breaks through lots of state-of-the-art records in many fields which includes computer vision (CV), natural language processing (NLP) and automatic speech recognition (ASR). In CV, we can use pre-trained R-CNN, YOLO model on our target domain problem. In NLP, we can also leverage pre-trained model such as BERT and XLNet. In ASR, we now have a pre-trained model to convert audio input to a vectors. In the previous stories, we went through classic methods and Speech2vec to learn vector representations for audio inputs.
Discovering Popular Dishes with Deep Learning
Yelp is home to nearly 200 million user-submitted reviews and even more photos. This data is rich with information about businesses and user opinions. Through the application of cutting-edge machine learning techniques, we're able to extract and share insights from this data. In particular, the Popular Dishes feature leverages Yelp's deep data to take the guesswork out of what to order. The Popular Dishes feature highlights the most talked about and photographed dishes at a restaurant, gathering user opinions and images in one convenient place.
IIT Madras creates applications for AI, ML to solve engineering problems
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras researchers have developed algorithms that enable novel applications for Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning to solve engineering problems. The Researchers are going to establish a startup to deploy their AI Software called'AISoft' to develop solutions to engineering problems in varied fields such as in thermal management, semiconductors, automobile, aerospace and electronic cooling applications. AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning are now being used for over a decade but traditionally only in areas such as signal processing, speech recognition, image reconstruction and prediction. Very limited attempts have been made globally in using these algorithms in solving engineering problems such as thermal management, electronic cooling industries, automobile problems like fluid dynamics prediction over a bonnet or inside the engine, aerospace industries like aerodynamics and fluid dynamics problems across an aero-foil or turbine engine. A team of researchers lead by Dr. Vishal Nandigana, Assistant Professor, Fluid Systems Laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Madras, has developed AI and Deep Learning algorithms to solve engineering problems, which they do not solve a physical law to arrive at the solution of the system.

Dr. Daniel Durand, LifeBridge chief innovation officer, on why 'innovation will never end': At LifeBridge Health, Chief Innovation Officer Daniel Durand, MD, focuses on deploying innovations of both the digital and analog variety -- whichever will do more to improve the Baltimore-based health system's care quality and outcomes.
At LifeBridge Health, Chief Innovation Officer Daniel Durand, MD, focuses on deploying innovations of both the digital and analog variety -- whichever will do more to improve the Baltimore-based health system's care quality and outcomes. "It strikes me that innovation is like fashion: It can evolve and it can move through cycles, but innovation will never end," he told Becker's Hospital Review. Here, Dr. Durand, who also serves as LifeBridge's vice president of research and chair of radiology, discusses his priorities, the evolution of hospital innovation and his "shameless" enthusiasm for artificial intelligence technology. Editor's note: Responses have been lightly edited for length and clarity. Question: What is your No. 1 priority today?
Unsolved Problems in Machine Learning
I am actually not even aware of any machine learning (ML) problem that is considered to have been solved recently or in the past. This tells you a lot about how hard things really are in ML. Of course, if you read media outlets, it may seem like researchers are sweeping the floor clean with deep learning (DL), solving ML problems one after the other leaving no stones unturned. In reality, they are not, researchers actually attack relatively simpler problems in the hope of collectively solving the bigger problems, that is just how research works. You can see DeepMind aim is to "solve intelligence and make the world a better place" but they are busy building game playing algorithms.
IIT-Madras develops AI model to solve engineering problems
CHENNAI: The Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IIT-M) on Monday said its researchers have developed algorithms that enable novel applications for artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and deep learning to solve engineering problems. The researchers are going to establish a start-up to deploy their AI Software called'AISoft' to develop solutions to engineering problems in varied fields such as in thermal management, semiconductors, automobile, aerospace and electronic cooling applications. "We tested AIsoft and used it to solve such thermal management problems. We found it to be nearly million-fold faster compared to existing solutions currently used in the field," said Vishal Nandigana, Assistant Professor, Fluid Systems Laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering. "Our AI works on any generalised rectilinear and curvilinear input geometry.
