The Seven Patterns of AI Cognilytica

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence and machine learning has matured considerably over the past few years. We can now find AI projects in every industry and across every potential application and project type. In our AI vendor classification matrix, we identified over 3000 vendor companies across over 100 subsegments of the AI market implementing a wide range of AI applications. Over 70% of these vendors are applying their solutions to industry-specific domains ranging from finance or healthcare to cybersecurity or autonomous vehicles. For sure, there must be millions of different ways in which AI and machine learning are being applied.


The Seven Patterns Of AI

#artificialintelligence

From autonomous vehicles, predictive analytics applications, facial recognition, to chatbots, virtual assistants, cognitive automation, and fraud detection, the use cases for AI are many. However, regardless of the application of AI, there is commonality to all these applications. Those who have implemented hundreds or even thousands of AI projects realize that despite all this diversity in application, AI use cases fall into one or more of seven common patterns. The seven patterns are: hyperpersonalization, autonomous systems, predictive analytics and decision support, conversational/human interactions, patterns and anomalies, recognition systems, and goal-driven systems. Any customized approach to AI is going to require its own programming and pattern, but no matter what combination these trends are used in, they all follow their own pretty standard set of rules.


What You Absolutely Need to Know about CNNs

#artificialintelligence

CNN stands for Convolutional Neural Networks. It's a class of neural networks that is usually used for image recognition and is based on the idea of โ€ฆ well, convolution. Essentially, convolution here is the way the information is processed by artificial neurons: they take advantage of the hierarchical pattern in images and assemble more complex patterns using smaller and simpler patterns. The neurons are grouped into layers where each layer tries to recognize certain level of detail in small rectangular areas of a picture: neurons in the first layer strive to find lines and dots, then they hand over their findings to the next level, whose task is to analyze the lines and dots and see if they can form a nose, an eye or an ear. The last layer will convolve the found parts into a human face or โ€ฆ not.

Modern artificial intelligence is often lauded for its growing sophistication, but mostly in doomer terms. If you're on the apocalyptic end of the spectrum, the AI revolution will automate millions of jobs, eliminate the barrier between reality and artifice, and, eventually, force humanity to the brink of extinction. Along the way, maybe we get robot butlers, maybe we're stuffed into embryonic pods and harvested for energy. But it's easy to forget that most AI right now is terribly stupid and only useful in narrow, niche domains for which its underlying software has been specifically trained, like playing an ancient Chinese board game or translating text in one language into another. Ask your standard recognition bot to do something novel, like analyze and label a photograph using only its acquired knowledge, and you'll get some comically nonsensical results.


A Tsetlin Machine with Multigranular Clauses

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The recently introduced Tsetlin Machine (TM) has provided competitive pattern recognition accuracy in several benchmarks, however, requires a 3-dimensional hyperparameter search. In this paper, we introduce the Multigranular Tsetlin Machine (MTM). The MTM eliminates the specificity hyperparameter, used by the TM to control the granularity of the conjunctive clauses that it produces for recognizing patterns. Instead of using a fixed global specificity, we encode varying specificity as part of the clauses, rendering the clauses multigranular. This makes it easier to configure the TM because the dimensionality of the hyperparameter search space is reduced to only two dimensions. Indeed, it turns out that there is significantly less hyperparameter tuning involved in applying the MTM to new problems. Further, we demonstrate empirically that the MTM provides similar performance to what is achieved with a finely specificity-optimized TM, by comparing their performance on both synthetic and real-world datasets.


Unsupervised Learning with Clustering Techniques w/Srini Anand

#artificialintelligence

As humans we are able to discern differences among different groups within a collection. We might group a collection by broad groups such as birds versus plants versus animals or detect subtle features to identify different makes and models of cars. Clustering techniques allow us to automate the process and apply them to data where groupings are not immediately obvious. These techniques are used for different purposes such as detecting market segments, identifying properties of online communities, fraud detection, and cybersecurity. Srini Anand is a Data Scientist at Ameritas Life Insurance Company and holds a Masters degree in Data Science from Indiana University.


Open source and open data

#artificialintelligence

There's currently an ongoing debate about the value of data and whether internet companies should do more to share their data with others. At Google we've long believed that open data and open source are good not only for us and our industry, but also benefit the world at large. Our commitment to open source and open data has led us to share datasets, services and software with everyone. For example, Google released the Open Images dataset of 36.5 million images containing nearly 20,000 categories of human-labeled objects. With this data, computer vision researchers can train image recognition systems.


r/deeplearning - What creates bias in AI?

#artificialintelligence

It has nothing to do with any of the things you listed. Machine learning and pattern recognition basically come down to learning a model of the dataset and then predicting something based on that model. If the model is "biased" then it's because the dataset was "biased". I don't understand what you are getting at when you talk about the black/white/male/female stuff. Black/white/male/female are just arbitrary labels defined by you.



AI and RPA in federal government: The time is right

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is of great strategic importance to the United States. We are recognized as the current leader in the space, and as such, are investing in capabilities and opportunities to ensure we are progressing AI forward across the country. AI is instrumental in providing the country with a competitive advantage. If we're not raising the bar in the United States, other countries will become more adept leaders in the space. AI is a top priority at the federal level right now.
