The Life And Times Of Machine Learning Articles Big Data

#artificialintelligence

The need for technology to catch up to our imaginations has been a constant feature of AI since the first spark of an idea flickered into existence. This is because no matter how far it comes, there will always be a new generation for whom it is still inadequate. Sam Zimmerman, CTO & Co-founder at Freebird and another one of our speakers, describes the immense amount of progress which has been made since he entered the machine learning world less than 8 years ago. "When I first entered the field in 2011, machine learning was just beginning to extend outside of advertising and finance into domains like sentiment analysis and computer vision. Largely this was a migration from quite clear optimizations of well-defined outcome variables (like click-through-rates and PnL) to much more abstract, subjective, and ill-defined outcome variables (like the "sentiment" of a sentence or the "setting" of a photo)."


How can I translate Different languages in to English in R?

@machinelearnbot

I want to do sentiment analysis on customer reviews but they are in different laguages some are in German, some are in spanish, and many others. I tried to use translateR package but I didn't get desire output. I think I didn't generate my google API key properly Can anyone please tell me how can I convert multiple language in to English and How can I generate Google translator API without Billing? Please give me some suggestion.


Website Crawler & Sentiment Analysis

@machinelearnbot

Back to the University Ranking of my designed application. Ranking technology in my application is to parse tweets crawled from Twitter and then rank related tweets according to their relevance to a specific university. I want to filter high-related tweets (topK) to do the Sentiment Analysis, which will avoid trivial tweets that make our results inaccurate. There are may ranking methods actually, such as rank them based on TF-IDF similarity, text summarization, spatial and temporal factors or machine learning ranking method. Even Twitter itself has provided a method based on time or popularity. However, we need a more advanced method which can filter out the most spam and trivial tweets.


Signals Build, Train, & Monetise Cryptotrading Strategies

#artificialintelligence

No knowledge of machine learning is required for using the Signals model builder. Just choose from a variety of indicators, ranging from traditional technical analysis to deep learning or sentiment analysis based on media monitoring and combine them together. If you do happen to be a developer or a data scientist, you can develop new trading indicators from scratch and monetize your data science skills through the Signals Indicator Marketplace.


iSentium Uses AI for Sentiment Analysis of Social Media [Interview]

#artificialintelligence

Founded in 2008, iSentium's expert team hails from both industry and academia and has collectively published more than 200 papers and 18 books. I am the CEO of iSentium. Given the small size of our team, I am deeply involved in the day-to-day running of the firm. B) sales and market development, given that we are in early innings with respect to applied artificial intelligence. I attended the University of Houston where I studied electrical engineering and history.


Learning Topic Models by Neighborhood Aggregation

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Topic models are one of the most frequently used models in machine learning due to its high interpretability and modular structure. However extending the model to include supervisory signal, incorporate pre-trained word embedding vectors and add nonlinear output function to the model is not an easy task because one has to resort to highly intricate approximate inference procedure. In this paper, we show that topic models could be viewed as performing a neighborhood aggregation algorithm where the messages are passed through a network defined over words. Under the network view of topic models, nodes corresponds to words in a document and edges correspond to either a relationship describing co-occurring words in a document or a relationship describing same word in the corpus. The network view allows us to extend the model to include supervisory signals, incorporate pre-trained word embedding vectors and add nonlinear output function to the model in a simple manner. Moreover, we describe a simple way to train the model that is well suited in a semi-supervised setting where we only have supervisory signals for some portion of the corpus and the goal is to improve prediction performance in the held-out data. Through careful experiments we show that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art supervised Latent Dirichlet Allocation implementation in both held-out document classification tasks and topic coherence.


Powering Sentiment Analysis with Machine and Deep Learning

#artificialintelligence

"When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but creatures of emotion" โ€“ Dale Carnegie. Emotion plays a critical role in our daily lives. Be it in shaping our relationships or day-to-day brand choices, we look for a connect at some level. And companies that tap into this emotion and get it right are usually the ones customers flock to. They are also the ones to turn customers into loyal, lifelong evangelists.


Making use of sentiment analysis

#artificialintelligence

The analysis of texts to determine the writers' or speakers' opinion and attitude expressed, and how the results can be used. Sentiment analysis is also known as opinion mining. In its simplest form, it's a way of determining how positive or negative the content of a text document is, based on the relative numbers of words it contains that are classified as either positive or negative. Positive words would include words such as'amazing', 'friendly', 'clean', 'exceeded', and'prompt'. Negative words could be words like'scam', 'unprofessional', 'rude', 'refund', and'incompetent'.


Sample Efficient Deep Reinforcement Learning for Dialogue Systems with Large Action Spaces

arXiv.org Machine Learning

In spoken dialogue systems, we aim to deploy artificial intelligence to build automated dialogue agents that can converse with humans. A part of this effort is the policy optimisation task, which attempts to find a policy describing how to respond to humans, in the form of a function taking the current state of the dialogue and returning the response of the system. In this paper, we investigate deep reinforcement learning approaches to solve this problem. Particular attention is given to actor-critic methods, off-policy reinforcement learning with experience replay, and various methods aimed at reducing the bias and variance of estimators. When combined, these methods result in the previously proposed ACER algorithm that gave competitive results in gaming environments. These environments however are fully observable and have a relatively small action set so in this paper we examine the application of ACER to dialogue policy optimisation. We show that this method beats the current state-of-the-art in deep learning approaches for spoken dialogue systems. This not only leads to a more sample efficient algorithm that can train faster, but also allows us to apply the algorithm in more difficult environments than before. We thus experiment with learning in a very large action space, which has two orders of magnitude more actions than previously considered. We find that ACER trains significantly faster than the current state-of-the-art.


End-to-End Task-Completion Neural Dialogue Systems

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

One of the major drawbacks of modularized task-completion dialogue systems is that each module is trained individually, which presents several challenges. For example, downstream modules are affected by earlier modules, and the performance of the entire system is not robust to the accumulated errors. This paper presents a novel end-to-end learning framework for task-completion dialogue systems to tackle such issues. Our neural dialogue system can directly interact with a structured database to assist users in accessing information and accomplishing certain tasks. The reinforcement learning based dialogue manager offers robust capabilities to handle noises caused by other components of the dialogue system. Our experiments in a movie-ticket booking domain show that our end-to-end system not only outperforms modularized dialogue system baselines for both objective and subjective evaluation, but also is robust to noises as demonstrated by several systematic experiments with different error granularity and rates specific to the language understanding module.
