How to Develop a Deep Learning Bag-of-Words Model for Predicting Movie Review Sentiment - Machine Learning Mastery
Movie reviews can be classified as either favorable or not. The evaluation of movie review text is a classification problem often called sentiment analysis. A popular technique for developing sentiment analysis models is to use a bag-of-words model that transforms documents into vectors where each word in the document is assigned a score. In this tutorial, you will discover how you can develop a deep learning predictive model using the bag-of-words representation for movie review sentiment classification.

IBM Can Run an Experimental AI in Memory, Not on Processors
Don't throw out your CPUs just yet, but there may be a new way to run your neural networks. In the regular world of computing--whether you're running exotic deep-learning algorithms or just using Excel--calculations are usually performed on a processor while data is passed back and forth to the memory. That works perfectly well, but some researchers have argued that performing calculations in memory itself would save time and energy that is usually used to move data around. And that's exactly the concept that a team from IBM Research in Zurich has now applied to some AI algorithms. The team has used a grid of one million memory devices, pictured above, which are all based on a phase-change material called germanium antimony telluride.
Will scikit-learn utilize GPU?
By default none of both are going to use GPU, especially if it is running inside Docker, unless you use nvidia-docker and an image capable of doing it. Scikit-learn is not intended to be used as a deep-learning framework, and seems that it doesn't support GPU computations. Why is there no support for deep or reinforcement learning / Will there be support for deep or reinforcement learning in scikit-learn? Deep learning and reinforcement learning both require a rich vocabulary to define an architecture, with deep learning additionally requiring GPUs for efficient computing. However, neither of these fit within the design constraints of scikit-learn; as a result, deep learning and reinforcement learning are currently out of scope for what scikit-learn seeks to achieve.
Why AlphaGo Zero is a Quantum Leap Forward in Deep Learning
The 1983 movie "War Games" has a memorable climax where the supercomputer known as WOPR (War Operation Plan Response) is asked to train on itself to discover the concept of an un-winnable game. The character played by Mathew Broderick asks "Is there any way that it can play itself?" The solution is the same, set the number of players to zero (i.e. There is plenty to digest about this latest breakthrough in Deep Learning technology. DeepMind authors use the term "self-play reinforcement learning".
Scientists decode human brain using AI
Mumbai: In a newly-published research paper that sharpens focus on the intersection of machine intelligence and neuroscience, Purdue University researchers have demonstrated how to decode what the human brain is seeing by using artificial intelligence (AI) to interpret Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans from people watching videos, representing a sort of mind-reading technology. The advancement, according to the researchers, could aid efforts to improve AI and lead to new insights into brain function. Critical to the research, which appeared online on 20 October in the journal Cerebral Cortex, is a type of algorithm called a convolutional neural network. Convolutional neural networks, a form of deep learning algorithm, have been used to study how the brain processes static images and other visual stimuli. Deep learning itself is an advanced machine learning technique that uses layered (hence "deep") neural networks (neural nets) that are loosely modelled on the human brain.
Designing the Future of Deep Learning
This is made possible by incredible advances in a wide range of technologies, from computation to interconnect to storage, and innovations in software libraries, frameworks, and resource management tools. While there are many critical challenges, an open technology approach provides significant advantages. The Scaling Challenge The full deep learning story, though, must be an end-to-end technology discussion and encompass production at scale. As we scale out deep learning workloads to the massive compute clusters required to tackle these big issues, we begin to run into the same challenges that hamper scaling of traditional high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. Ensuring optimal use of compute resources can be challenging, particularly in heterogeneous architectures that may include multiple central processing unit (CPU) architectures, such as x86, ARM64, and Power, as well as accelerators, such as graphical processing units (GPUs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), tensor processing units (TPUs), etc. Architecting an optimal deep learning solution for training or inferencing, with potentially varied data types, can result in the application of one or more of these architectures and technologies. The flexibility of open technologies allows one to deploy the optimal platform at server, rack, and data center scales.
Inversion using a new low-dimensional representation of complex binary geological media based on a deep neural network
Laloy, Eric, Hรฉrault, Romain, Lee, John, Jacques, Diederik, Linde, Niklas
Efficient and high-fidelity prior sampling and inversion for complex geological media is still a largely unsolved challenge. Here, we use a deep neural network of the variational autoencoder type to construct a parametric low-dimensional base model parameterization of complex binary geological media. For inversion purposes, it has the attractive feature that random draws from an uncorrelated standard normal distribution yield model realizations with spatial characteristics that are in agreement with the training set. In comparison with the most commonly used parametric representations in probabilistic inversion, we find that our dimensionality reduction (DR) approach outperforms principle component analysis (PCA), optimization-PCA (OPCA) and discrete cosine transform (DCT) DR techniques for unconditional geostatistical simulation of a channelized prior model. For the considered examples, important compression ratios (200 - 500) are achieved. Given that the construction of our parameterization requires a training set of several tens of thousands of prior model realizations, our DR approach is more suited for probabilistic (or deterministic) inversion than for unconditional (or point-conditioned) geostatistical simulation. Probabilistic inversions of 2D steady-state and 3D transient hydraulic tomography data are used to demonstrate the DR-based inversion. For the 2D case study, the performance is superior compared to current state-of-the-art multiple-point statistics inversion by sequential geostatistical resampling (SGR). Inversion results for the 3D application are also encouraging.
Neural Stain-Style Transfer Learning using GAN for Histopathological Images
Cho, Hyungjoo, Lim, Sungbin, Choi, Gunho, Min, Hyunseok
Performance of data-driven network for tumor classification varies with stain-style of histopathological images. This article proposes the stain-style transfer (SST) model based on conditional generative adversarial networks (GANs) which is to learn not only the certain color distribution but also the corresponding histopathological pattern. Our model considers feature-preserving loss in addition to well-known GAN loss. Consequently our model does not only transfers initial stain-styles to the desired one but also prevent the degradation of tumor classifier on transferred images. The model is examined using the CAMELYON16 dataset.
Malware Detection by Eating a Whole EXE
Raff, Edward, Barker, Jon, Sylvester, Jared, Brandon, Robert, Catanzaro, Bryan, Nicholas, Charles
In this work we introduce malware detection from raw byte sequences as a fruitful research area to the larger machine learning community. Building a neural network for such a problem presents a number of interesting challenges that have not occurred in tasks such as image processing or NLP. In particular, we note that detection from raw bytes presents a sequence problem with over two million time steps and a problem where batch normalization appear to hinder the learning process. We present our initial work in building a solution to tackle this problem, which has linear complexity dependence on the sequence length, and allows for interpretable sub-regions of the binary to be identified. In doing so we will discuss the many challenges in building a neural network to process data at this scale, and the methods we used to work around them.
mixup: Beyond Empirical Risk Minimization
Zhang, Hongyi, Cisse, Moustapha, Dauphin, Yann N., Lopez-Paz, David
Large deep neural networks are powerful, but exhibit undesirable behaviors such as memorization and sensitivity to adversarial examples. In this work, we propose mixup, a simple learning principle to alleviate these issues. In essence, mixup trains a neural network on convex combinations of pairs of examples and their labels. By doing so, mixup regularizes the neural network to favor simple linear behavior in-between training examples. Our experiments on the ImageNet-2012, CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, Google commands and UCI datasets show that mixup improves the generalization of state-of-the-art neural network architectures. We also find that mixup reduces the memorization of corrupt labels, increases the robustness to adversarial examples, and stabilizes the training of generative adversarial networks.
