[D] Non-automated machine learning?

#artificialintelligence

You can calculate every machine lewrning algorithm also by hand at a very small scale. For example an ANN with one single hidden layer that has to learn the "XOR" function. An other example is the support vector machine for which you can crate nice visualizations of the inital idea. At a large scale everything becomes quite infeasible to do by hand, but we dont have to since we have computers. If you understand small examples like mentioned above, you got the idea, no meed to do it by hand at a large scale.

AIHub

Here are the most tweeted papers that were uploaded onto arXiv during March 2021. Results are powered by Arxiv Sanity Preserver. Abstract: We consider the vector embedding problem. We are given a finite set of items, with the goal of assigning a representative vector to each one, possibly under some constraints (such as the collection of vectors being standardized, i.e., have zero mean and unit covariance). We are given data indicating that some pairs of items are similar, and optionally, some other pairs are dissimilar.

A Survey on Semi-parametric Machine Learning Technique for Time Series Forecasting

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has recently shown its capabilities for almost every field of life. Machine Learning, which is a subset of AI, is a `HOT' topic for researchers. Machine Learning outperforms other classical forecasting techniques in almost all-natural applications. It is a crucial part of modern research. As per this statement, Modern Machine Learning algorithms are hungry for big data. Due to the small datasets, the researchers may not prefer to use Machine Learning algorithms. To tackle this issue, the main purpose of this survey is to illustrate, demonstrate related studies for significance of a semi-parametric Machine Learning framework called Grey Machine Learning (GML). This kind of framework is capable of handling large datasets as well as small datasets for time series forecasting likely outcomes. This survey presents a comprehensive overview of the existing semi-parametric machine learning techniques for time series forecasting. In this paper, a primer survey on the GML framework is provided for researchers. To allow an in-depth understanding for the readers, a brief description of Machine Learning, as well as various forms of conventional grey forecasting models are discussed. Moreover, a brief description on the importance of GML framework is presented.


A proof of convergence for stochastic gradient descent in the training of artificial neural networks with ReLU activation for constant target functions

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In this article we study the stochastic gradient descent (SGD) optimization method in the training of fully-connected feedforward artificial neural networks with ReLU activation. The main result of this work proves that the risk of the SGD process converges to zero if the target function under consideration is constant. In the established convergence result the considered artificial neural networks consist of one input layer, one hidden layer, and one output layer (with $d \in \mathbb{N}$ neurons on the input layer, $H \in \mathbb{N}$ neurons on the hidden layer, and one neuron on the output layer). The learning rates of the SGD process are assumed to be sufficiently small and the input data used in the SGD process to train the artificial neural networks is assumed to be independent and identically distributed.


Constrained non-negative matrix factorization enabling real-time insights of $\textit{in situ}$ and high-throughput experiments

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) methods offer an appealing unsupervised learning method for real-time analysis of streaming spectral data in time-sensitive data collection, such as $\textit{in situ}$ characterization of materials. However, canonical NMF methods are optimized to reconstruct a full dataset as closely as possible, with no underlying requirement that the reconstruction produces components or weights representative of the true physical processes. In this work, we demonstrate how constraining NMF weights or components, provided as known or assumed priors, can provide significant improvement in revealing true underlying phenomena. We present a PyTorch based method for efficiently applying constrained NMF and demonstrate this on several synthetic examples. When applied to streaming experimentally measured spectral data, an expert researcher-in-the-loop can provide and dynamically adjust the constraints. This set of interactive priors to the NMF model can, for example, contain known or identified independent components, as well as functional expectations about the mixing of components. We demonstrate this application on measured X-ray diffraction and pair distribution function data from $\textit{in situ}$ beamline experiments. Details of the method are described, and general guidance provided to employ constrained NMF in extraction of critical information and insights during $\textit{in situ}$ and high-throughput experiments.


Optimization Algorithm for Feedback and Feedforward Policies towards Robot Control Robust to Sensing Failures

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Model-free or learning-based control, in particular, reinforcement learning (RL), is expected to be applied for complex robotic tasks. Traditional RL requires a policy to be optimized is state-dependent, that means, the policy is a kind of feedback (FB) controllers. Due to the necessity of correct state observation in such a FB controller, it is sensitive to sensing failures. To alleviate this drawback of the FB controllers, feedback error learning integrates one of them with a feedforward (FF) controller. RL can be improved by dealing with the FB/FF policies, but to the best of our knowledge, a methodology for learning them in a unified manner has not been developed. In this paper, we propose a new optimization problem for optimizing both the FB/FF policies simultaneously. Inspired by control as inference, the optimization problem considers minimization/maximization of divergences between trajectory, predicted by the composed policy and a stochastic dynamics model, and optimal/non-optimal trajectories. By approximating the stochastic dynamics model using variational method, we naturally derive a regularization between the FB/FF policies. In numerical simulations and a robot experiment, we verified that the proposed method can stably optimize the composed policy even with the different learning law from the traditional RL. In addition, we demonstrated that the FF policy is robust to the sensing failures and can hold the optimal motion. Attached video is also uploaded on youtube: https://youtu.be/zLL4uXIRmrE


Semantic XAI for contextualized demand forecasting explanations

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The paper proposes a novel architecture for explainable AI based on semantic technologies and AI. We tailor the architecture for the domain of demand forecasting and validate it on a real-world case study. The provided explanations combine concepts describing features relevant to a particular forecast, related media events, and metadata regarding external datasets of interest. The knowledge graph provides concepts that convey feature information at a higher abstraction level. By using them, explanations do not expose sensitive details regarding the demand forecasting models. The explanations also emphasize actionable dimensions where suitable. We link domain knowledge, forecasted values, and forecast explanations in a Knowledge Graph. The ontology and dataset we developed for this use case are publicly available for further research.
