Many data scientists today find it burdensome to manually execute all of the steps in a machine learning workflow. Moving and transforming data, training models, then promoting them into production – all of it requires the data scientist's close attention. But now an open source project called Kubeflow promises to eliminate much of that busywork by automating machine learning workflows atop Kubernetes clusters. Google initially created Kubeflow to manage its internal machine learning pipelines written in Tensorflow and executed atop Kubernetes, and released it as an open source project in late 2017. Since then, the Kubeflow community has integrated the software with a handful of additional machine learning and deep learning frameworks, including MXnet, PyTorch, Caffe2, and Nvidia TensorRT, as well as Jupyter notebooks and MPI, the parallel computing framework used in high performance computing (HPC) clusters.

Now that we know how to define a sequential container and a 2D convolutional layer, the next step is to learn how to define the activator layers that we will place between our convolutional layers. For this, we want to import torch.nn And for a specific example, we will also want to import the random library for Pi. Two issues that can arise when optimizing a neural network are second order effects in activation functions and saturation of an activated unit. Second order effects cause issues because linear functions are more easily optimized than their non-linear counterparts.

I mostly agree with runvnc in that I think this is a very substantial project, but I think if you're willing to make a few compromises and get some help, you could probably do it without it being detectable or intrusive. First, you'd need a VPN to spoof IPs from different countries, locations, etc. Next, you'd need some screen capture software like Nvidia shadowplay. Finally, you'd need a way to determine if an ad has already been added to your catalog, which I think would be pretty non-trivial (maybe save short 3 second sound clips so you can rapidly search those, making the assumption that they're distinct). If it had been, or once the ad was done, stop recording, move on to the next video and start recording (to keep them separate). Then you run multiple machines concurrently spoofing different locations.

Simulating and predicting cloud convection is a particularly bedevilling problem in studies of Earth systems.Credit: Frank Bienewald/LightRocket/Getty Barely a day goes by without a promise that artificial intelligence (AI) will revolutionize yet another aspect of life. Research fields ranging from speech recognition to biological imaging are embracing and benefiting from techniques such as deep learning. But for some fields, integrating AI is not straightforward. The study of Earth -- and its climate, oceans and biogeochemistry -- is one of them. The amount of geospatial data available on these systems has exploded, with remote sensors above Earth and below the seas generating terabytes of data. But it's a challenge for even the most advanced AI to make sense of systems that are so highly complex and -- with weather being a prime example -- change rapidly with space and time.

We draw upon a previously largely untapped literature on human collective intelligence as a source of inspiration for improving deep learning. Implicit in many algorithms that attempt to solve Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) tasks is the network of processors along which parameter values are shared. So far, existing approaches have implicitly utilized fully-connected networks, in which all processors are connected. However, the scientific literature on human collective intelligence suggests that complete networks may not always be the most effective information network structures for distributed search through complex spaces. Here we show that alternative topologies can improve deep neural network training: we find that sparser networks learn higher rewards faster, leading to learning improvements at lower communication costs.

We present VERIFAI, a software toolkit for the formal design and analysis of systems that include artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) components. VERIFAI particularly seeks to address challenges with applying formal methods to perception and ML components, including those based on neural networks, and to model and analyze system behavior in the presence of environment uncertainty. We describe the initial version of VERIFAI which centers on simulation guided by formal models and specifications. Several use cases are illustrated with examples, including temporal-logic falsification, model-based systematic fuzz testing, parameter synthesis, counterexample analysis, and data set augmentation.

The promise of ANNs to automatically discover and extract useful features/patterns from data without dwelling on domain expertise although seems highly promising but comes at the cost of high reliance on large amount of accurately labeled data, which is often hard to acquire and formulate especially in time-series domains like anomaly detection, natural disaster management, predictive maintenance and healthcare. As these networks completely rely on data and ignore a very important modality i.e. expert, they are unable to harvest any benefit from the expert knowledge, which in many cases is very useful. In this paper, we try to bridge the gap between these data driven and expert knowledge based systems by introducing a novel framework for incorporating expert knowledge into the network (KINN). Integrating expert knowledge into the network has three key advantages: (a) Reduction in the amount of data needed to train the model, (b) provision of a lower bound on the performance of the resulting classifier by obtaining the best of both worlds, and (c) improved convergence of model parameters (model converges in smaller number of epochs). Although experts are extremely good in solving different tasks, there are some trends and patterns, which are usually hidden only in the data. Therefore, KINN employs a novel residual knowledge incorporation scheme, which can automatically determine the quality of the predictions made by the expert and rectify it accordingly by learning the trends/patterns from data. Specifically, the method tries to use information contained in one modality to complement information missed by the other. We evaluated KINN on a real world traffic flow prediction problem. KINN significantly superseded performance of both the expert and as well as the base network (LSTM in this case) when evaluated in isolation, highlighting its superiority for the task.

Wind power, as an alternative to burning fossil fuels, is plentiful and renewable. Data-driven approaches are increasingly popular for inspecting the wind turbine failures. In this paper, we propose a novel classification-based anomaly detection system for icing detection of the wind turbine blades. We effectively combine the deep neural networks and wavelet transformation to identify such failures sequentially across the time. In the training phase, we present a wavelet based fully convolutional neural network (FCNN), namely WaveletFCNN, for the time series classification. We improve the original (FCNN) by augmenting features with the wavelet coefficients. WaveletFCNN outperforms the state-of-the-art FCNN for the univariate time series classification on the UCR time series archive benchmarks. In the detecting phase, we combine the sliding window and majority vote algorithms to provide the timely monitoring of the anomalies. The system has been successfully implemented on a real-world dataset from Goldwind Inc, where the classifier is trained on a multivariate time series dataset and the monitoring algorithm is implemented to capture the abnormal condition on signals from a wind farm.

Convolutional Neural Networks and Deep Learning classification systems in general have been shown to be vulnerable to attack by specially crafted data samples that appear to belong to one class but are instead classified as another, commonly known as adversarial examples. A variety of attack strategies have been proposed to craft these samples; however, there is no standard model that is used to compare the success of each type of attack. Furthermore, there is no literature currently available that evaluates how common hyperparameters and optimization strategies may impact a model's ability to resist these samples. This research bridges that lack of awareness and provides a means for the selection of training and model parameters in future research on evasion attacks against convolutional neural networks. The findings of this work indicate that the selection of model hyperparameters does impact the ability of a model to resist attack, although they alone cannot prevent the existence of adversarial examples.
