 Pattern Recognition


See how an AI system classifies you based on your selfie

#artificialintelligence

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.


Four Things to Remember When Thinking of Image Analytics and Business Improvement

#artificialintelligence

According to a Forbes blog post from May 2018, over 300 million images are uploaded to Facebook and 95 million images are uploaded to Instagram each day. There's a good reason for this new trend: Images are more memorable, more impactful, and easier to share than text. You don't have to translate them. A picture is worth a thousand words, after all. Ninety percent of what our brains process is visual.


The Well-Grounded Rubyist [PDF] - Programmer Books

#artificialintelligence

In this chapter, we'll explore Ruby's facilities for pattern matching and text processing, centering around the use of regular expressions. A regular expression in Ruby serves the same purposes it does in other languages: it specifies a pattern of characters, a pattern that may or may not correctly predict (that is, match) a given string. Pattern-match operations are used for conditional branching (match/no match), pinpointing substrings (parts of a string that match parts of the pattern), and various text-filtering techniques. Regular expressions in Ruby are objects. You send messages to a regular expression.


YouTube Using AI to Help Remove Video Deemed Offensive; Meanwhile Recommendation Engine is Challenged - AI Trends

#artificialintelligence

You Tube needs to employ AI to help process the 300 hours of video uploaded to the platform every minute by its users. This processing includes removing video deemed inappropriate by YouTube's standards. Some 8.3 million videos were removed from YouTube in the first quarter, 76 percent of those identified and flagged by AI automatically, according to an account in Forbes. Of those, more than 70 percent were never viewed by users. While the AI system is able to review more content than humans, full-time human specialists work with the AI, which of course is not foolproof.
