To obtain fast and accurate inference on edge devices, a model has to be optimized for real-time inference. Fine-tuned state-of-the-art models like VGG16/19, ResNet50 have 138 million and 23 million parameters respectively and inference is often expensive on resource-constrained devices. Previously I've talked about one model compression technique called "Knowledge Distillation" using a smaller student network to mimic the performance of a larger teacher network (Both student and teacher network has different network architecture). Today, the focus will be on "Pruning" one model compression technique that allows us to compress the model to a smaller size with zero or marginal loss of accuracy. In short, pruning eliminates the weights with low magnitude (That does not contribute much to the final model performance).

With the advancement of machine translation, there is a recent movement towards large-scale empirical techniques that have prompted exceptionally massive enhancements in translation quality. Machine Translation is the technique of consequently changing over one characteristic language into another, saving the importance of the info text. The ongoing research on Image description presents a considerable challenge in the field of natural language processing and computer vision. To overcome this issue, multimodal machine translation presents data from other methods, for the most part, static pictures, to improve the interpretation quality. Here, we will cover the absolute most well-known datasets that are utilized in machine translation.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a digital frontier that will have a profound impact on the world. It will have immense technological, economic, and social consequences and will transform the way humans work, live, and produce and distribute goods and services. Although it is too early to say, it is clear that AI will affect traditional intellectual property (IP) concepts. Commercial AI-generated music and AI-created inventions are not so far, and it is expected that it will define the concepts of the'composer', 'author', and'inventor'. But how that will happen is not clear yet.

Neuro-symbolic representations have proved effective in learning structure information in vision and language. In this paper, we propose a new model architecture for learning multi-modal neuro-symbolic representations for video captioning. Our approach uses a dictionary learning-based method of learning relations between videos and their paired text descriptions. We refer to these relations as relative roles and leverage them to make each token role-aware using attention. This results in a more structured and interpretable architecture that incorporates modality-specific inductive biases for the captioning task. Intuitively, the model is able to learn spatial, temporal, and cross-modal relations in a given pair of video and text. The disentanglement achieved by our proposal gives the model more capacity to capture multi-modal structures which result in captions with higher quality for videos. Our experiments on two established video captioning datasets verifies the effectiveness of the proposed approach based on automatic metrics. We further conduct a human evaluation to measure the grounding and relevance of the generated captions and observe consistent improvement for the proposed model.

Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides systems the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning focuses on the development of computer programs that can access data and use it learn for themselves, i know that sounds a little bit confuse but will be clear at the end. At a very high level, machine learning is the process of teaching a computer system how to make accurate predictions when fed data. Those predictions could be answering whether a piece of fruit in a photo is a banana or an apple, spotting people crossing the road in front of a self-driving car, whether the use of the word book in a sentence relates to a paperback or a hotel reservation, whether an email is spam, or recognizing speech accurately enough to generate captions for a YouTube video. The key difference from traditional computer software is that a human developer hasn't written code that instructs the system how to tell the difference between the banana and the apple.

In the Internet of Things (IoT) era, billions of sensors and devices collect and process data from the environment, transmit them to cloud centers, and receive feedback via the internet for connectivity and perception. However, transmitting massive amounts of heterogeneous data, perceiving complex environments from these data, and then making smart decisions in a timely manner are difficult. Artificial intelligence (AI), especially deep learning, is now a proven success in various areas including computer vision, speech recognition, and natural language processing. AI introduced into the IoT heralds the era of artificial intelligence of things (AIoT). This paper presents a comprehensive survey on AIoT to show how AI can empower the IoT to make it faster, smarter, greener, and safer. Specifically, we briefly present the AIoT architecture in the context of cloud computing, fog computing, and edge computing. Then, we present progress in AI research for IoT from four perspectives: perceiving, learning, reasoning, and behaving. Next, we summarize some promising applications of AIoT that are likely to profoundly reshape our world. Finally, we highlight the challenges facing AIoT and some potential research opportunities.

Policy gradients-based reinforcement learning has proven to be a promising approach for directly optimizing non-differentiable evaluation metrics for language generation tasks. However, optimizing for a specific metric reward leads to improvements in mostly that metric only, suggesting that the model is gaming the formulation of that metric in a particular way without often achieving real qualitative improvements. Hence, it is more beneficial to make the model optimize multiple diverse metric rewards jointly. While appealing, this is challenging because one needs to manually decide the importance and scaling weights of these metric rewards. Further, it is important to consider using a dynamic combination and curriculum of metric rewards that flexibly changes over time. Considering the above aspects, in our work, we automate the optimization of multiple metric rewards simultaneously via a multi-armed bandit approach (DORB), where at each round, the bandit chooses which metric reward to optimize next, based on expected arm gains. We use the Exp3 algorithm for bandits and formulate two approaches for bandit rewards: (1) Single Multi-reward Bandit (SM-Bandit); (2) Hierarchical Multi-reward Bandit (HM-Bandit). We empirically show the effectiveness of our approaches via various automatic metrics and human evaluation on two important NLG tasks: question generation and data-to-text generation, including on an unseen-test transfer setup. Finally, we present interpretable analyses of the learned bandit curriculum over the optimized rewards.

In the year 2020, it may seem natural to receive a meaningful translation from Google Translator, when some of us can still remember the times when it required correction every time you tried to translate more than three words altogether. This is the example of changes we tend to overlook as unpretentious users, but there is a lot of hard work behind them. While processing data, the neural network doesn't just follow some algorithm but finds ways of solving the problems and, in fact, learns to solve them. And the more tasks it solves, the better it copes with them. This similarity with a principle of human brain functioning is the reason to name neural networks an artificial intelligence (AI).
