AI, blockchain, and new ways for everyone to monetize their data - Dataconomy
Breakthroughs in AI and innovations in applying blockchain for personal data control and monetization enable new ways to make money off of personal information that most people currently give away for free. Here we highlight three data science and business model innovations, starting with breakthrough ML technology that learns on the fly. There's an emergent machine learning technology out there that offers a clever new way of finding and classifying unstructured content. In geek-speak, the technology is a vertical, personalized search engine that doesn't require expensive knowledge graphs. In human speak, it's a context-sensitive, human-in-the-loop search engine that uses search criteria and implicit user feedback to recommend high-quality results.
Individually Fair Ranking
Bower, Amanda, Eftekhari, Hamid, Yurochkin, Mikhail, Sun, Yuekai
We develop an algorithm to train individually fair learning-to-rank (LTR) models. The proposed approach ensures items from minority groups appear alongside similar items from majority groups. This notion of fair ranking is based on the definition of individual fairness from supervised learning and is more nuanced than prior fair LTR approaches that simply ensure the ranking model provides underrepresented items with a basic level of exposure. The crux of our method is an optimal transport-based regularizer that enforces individual fairness and an efficient algorithm for optimizing the regularizer. We show that our approach leads to certifiably individually fair LTR models and demonstrate the efficacy of our method on ranking tasks subject to demographic biases. Information retrieval (IR) systems are everywhere in today's digital world, and ranking models are integral parts of many IR systems. In light of their ubiquity, issues of algorithmic bias and unfairness in ranking models have come to the fore of the public's attention. In many applications, the items to be ranked are individuals, so algorithmic biases in the output of ranking models directly affect people's lives. For example, gender bias in job search engines directly affect the career success of job applicants (Dastin, 2018).
Automated Fact-Checking for Assisting Human Fact-Checkers
Nakov, Preslav, Corney, David, Hasanain, Maram, Alam, Firoj, Elsayed, Tamer, Barrón-Cedeño, Alberto, Papotti, Paolo, Shaar, Shaden, Martino, Giovanni Da San
The reporting and analysis of current events around the globe has expanded from professional, editor-lead journalism all the way to citizen journalism. Politicians and other key players enjoy direct access to their audiences through social media, bypassing the filters of official cables or traditional media. However, the multiple advantages of free speech and direct communication are dimmed by the misuse of the media to spread inaccurate or misleading claims. These phenomena have led to the modern incarnation of the fact-checker -- a professional whose main aim is to examine claims using available evidence to assess their veracity. As in other text forensics tasks, the amount of information available makes the work of the fact-checker more difficult. With this in mind, starting from the perspective of the professional fact-checker, we survey the available intelligent technologies that can support the human expert in the different steps of her fact-checking endeavor. These include identifying claims worth fact-checking; detecting relevant previously fact-checked claims; retrieving relevant evidence to fact-check a claim; and actually verifying a claim. In each case, we pay attention to the challenges in future work and the potential impact on real-world fact-checking.
5 Real Ways To Start Implementing AI in Your Ecommerce Stores - Liwaiwai
The implementation of AI in ecommerce should come as no surprise. Online businesses have always been quick to adopt new technologies, and this is how the industry thrives; enhancing the customer experience, discovering new markets, and driving further sales. And with the continued development of AI technology like chatbots, visual search, and personalized recommendations, the world of ecommerce is transforming again. But just how effective and useful is AI-powered tech? Where is it being used?
Nearest Neighbor Search Under Uncertainty
Mason, Blake, Tripathy, Ardhendu, Nowak, Robert
Nearest Neighbor Search (NNS) is a central task in knowledge representation, learning, and reasoning. There is vast literature on efficient algorithms for constructing data structures and performing exact and approximate NNS. This paper studies NNS under Uncertainty (NNSU). Specifically, consider the setting in which an NNS algorithm has access only to a stochastic distance oracle that provides a noisy, unbiased estimate of the distance between any pair of points, rather than the exact distance. This models many situations of practical importance, including NNS based on human similarity judgements, physical measurements, or fast, randomized approximations to exact distances. A naive approach to NNSU could employ any standard NNS algorithm and repeatedly query and average results from the stochastic oracle (to reduce noise) whenever it needs a pairwise distance. The problem is that a sufficient number of repeated queries is unknown in advance; e.g., a point maybe distant from all but one other point (crude distance estimates suffice) or it may be close to a large number of other points (accurate estimates are necessary). This paper shows how ideas from cover trees and multi-armed bandits can be leveraged to develop an NNSU algorithm that has optimal dependence on the dataset size and the (unknown)geometry of the dataset.
The AI Index 2021 Annual Report
Zhang, Daniel, Mishra, Saurabh, Brynjolfsson, Erik, Etchemendy, John, Ganguli, Deep, Grosz, Barbara, Lyons, Terah, Manyika, James, Niebles, Juan Carlos, Sellitto, Michael, Shoham, Yoav, Clark, Jack, Perrault, Raymond
Welcome to the fourth edition of the AI Index Report. This year we significantly expanded the amount of data available in the report, worked with a broader set of external organizations to calibrate our data, and deepened our connections with the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI). The AI Index Report tracks, collates, distills, and visualizes data related to artificial intelligence. Its mission is to provide unbiased, rigorously vetted, and globally sourced data for policymakers, researchers, executives, journalists, and the general public to develop intuitions about the complex field of AI. The report aims to be the most credible and authoritative source for data and insights about AI in the world.
Privacy-First Browser Brave Is Launching a Search Engine
Google's grip on the web has never been stronger. Its Chrome web browser has almost 70 percent of the market and its search engine a whopping 92 percent share. This story originally appeared on WIRED UK. But Google's dominance is being challenged. Regulators are questioning its monopoly position and claim the company has used anticompetitive tactics to strengthen its dominance.
The RLR-Tree: A Reinforcement Learning Based R-Tree for Spatial Data
Gu, Tu, Feng, Kaiyu, Cong, Gao, Long, Cheng, Wang, Zheng, Wang, Sheng
Despite the success of these learned indices in improving the performance Learned indices have been proposed to replace classic index structures of some types of queries, they still have various limitations, like B-Tree with machine learning (ML) models. They require e.g., they can only handle spatial point objects and limited types to replace both the indices and query processing algorithms currently of spatial queries, some only return approximate query results, deployed by the databases, and such a radical departure is and they either cannot handle updates or need a periodic rebuild likely to encounter challenges and obstacles. In contrast, we propose to retain high query efficiency (Detailed discussions are in Section a fundamentally different way of using ML techniques to 2). These limitations, together with the requirement that the improve on the query performance of the classic R-Tree without learned indices need a replacement of the index structures and the need of changing its structure or query processing algorithms.
The 3 Unexpected Benefits of Search Strategy
Let's be honest, you've probably heard a thousand times just how important search engine optimization (SEO) is for your business. If you want to gain higher page rankings on search engines like Google and drive more targeted traffic to your site, a winning search strategy is a must. Well, it turns out that there are a few additional unexpected benefits to SEO that should give you all the more reason to make it a cornerstone of your marketing strategy. No matter how laggy or slow-loading it was, people used to stick around. The attention span of users has shrunk to six seconds on average.
