Adversarial Robustness 360 Toolbox (ART) is a Python library supporting developers and researchers in defending Machine Learning models (Deep Neural Networks, Gradient Boosted Decision Trees, Support Vector Machines, Random Forests, Logistic Regression, Gaussian Processes, Decision Trees, Scikit-learn Pipelines, etc.) against adversarial threats and helps making AI systems more secure and trustworthy. Machine Learning models are vulnerable to adversarial examples, which are inputs (images, texts, tabular data, etc.) deliberately modified to produce a desired response by the Machine Learning model. ART provides the tools to build and deploy defenses and test them with adversarial attacks. Defending Machine Learning models involves certifying and verifying model robustness and model hardening with approaches such as pre-processing inputs, augmenting training data with adversarial samples, and leveraging runtime detection methods to flag any inputs that might have been modified by an adversary. The attacks implemented in ART allow creating adversarial attacks against Machine Learning models which are required to test defenses with state-of-the-art threat models.

Dascena, a machine learning diagnostic algorithm company that is targeting early disease intervention to improve patient care outcomes, announced it raised $50 million in Series B funding led by Frazier Healthcare Partners with participation from Longitude Capital, existing investor Euclidean Capital, and an undisclosed investor. This round of funding will enable Dascena to advance a suite of machine learning algorithms to inform patient care strategies and improve outcomes. And Dascena algorithms have been validated through eighteen peer-reviewed publications in several studies funded by the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. According to a randomized controlled trial of hospitalized patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), Dascena's InSight algorithm resulted in a 58% reduction in patient mortality and a 21% reduction in length of hospital stay. And data from this prospective study of InSight were published in the BMJ Open Respiratory Research in 2017.

Machine Learning for trading is the new buzz word today and some of the tech companies are doing wonderful unimaginable things with it. Today, we're going to show you, how you can predict stock movements (that's either up or down) with the help of'Decision Trees', one of the most commonly used ML algorithms. Decision trees in Machine Learning are used for building classification and regression models to be used in data mining and trading. A decision tree algorithm performs a set of recursive actions before it arrives at the end result and when you plot these actions on a screen, the visual looks like a big tree, hence the name'Decision Tree'. Basically, a decision tree is a flowchart to help you make decisions.

Non-targeted mass spectrometry (MS) has become an important method over the last years in the fields of metabolomics and environmental research. While more and more algorithms and workflows become available to process a large number of data sets nontargeted, there still exist few manually evaluated universal test data sets for refining and evaluating these methods. The first step of non-targeted screening, peak detection (and refinement of it) is arguably the most important step for non-targeted screening. However, the absence of a model data set makes it harder for researchers to evaluate peak detection methods. In this Data Descriptor, we provide a manually checked data set consisting of 255,000 EICs (5000 peaks randomly sampled from across 51 samples) for the evaluation on peak detection and gap filling algorithms.

The health ministry has unveiled a list of more than 10,000 medical clinics accepting new patients for online diagnoses in an effort to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus among doctors and patients. In online meetings with patients, doctors provide recommendations and diagnoses remotely through technology such as smartphones. The method is said to be effective in protecting the medical system from the dangers of increased infections inside health facilities. The ministry said Friday that it will update the list of clinics providing telemedicine for first-time patients as it receives reports from local governments across the country. Amid the coronavirus pandemic, the ministry has modified its stance that the first consultation with each patient should be conducted face-to-face.

Smartphone apps that use artificial intelligence to assess skin cancer risk based on images of suspicious moles aren't ready for prime time, a recent systematic review in the BMJ suggests. The 9 studies included in the review "showed variable and unreliable test accuracy" for 6 such apps, 2 of which are approved by European regulators as medical devices. Of those 2 apps, only 1 was supported by published peer-reviewed studies, and its accuracy in those studies was poor compared with experts. The reviewers concluded that, overall, the 9 diagnostic accuracy studies were small and of poor methodological quality. Among other problems, clinicians rather than consumers usually selected which moles were assessed and took the pictures.

Diagnosing problems in Internet-scale services remains particularly difficult and costly for both content providers and ISPs. Because the Internet is decentralized, the cause of such problems might lie anywhere between an end-user's device and the service datacenters. Further, the set of possible problems and causes is not known in advance, making it impossible in practice to train a classifier with all combinations of problems, causes and locations. In this paper, we explore how different machine learning techniques can be used for Internet-scale root cause analysis using measurements taken from end-user devices. We show how to build generic models that (i) are agnostic to the underlying network topology, (ii) do not require to define the full set of possible causes during training, and (iii) can be quickly adapted to diagnose new services. Our solution, DiagNet, adapts concepts from image processing research to handle network and system metrics. We evaluate DiagNet with a multi-cloud deployment of online services with injected faults and emulated clients with automated browsers. We demonstrate promising root cause analysis capabilities, with a recall of 73.9% including causes only being introduced at inference time.

Several studies point out different causes of performance degradation in supervised machine learning. Problems such as class imbalance, overlapping, small-disjuncts, noisy labels, and sparseness limit accuracy in classification algorithms. Even though a number of approaches either in the form of a methodology or an algorithm try to minimize performance degradation, they have been isolated efforts with limited scope. Most of these approaches focus on remediation of one among many problems, with experimental results coming from few datasets and classification algorithms, insufficient measures of prediction power, and lack of statistical validation for testing the real benefit of the proposed approach. This paper consists of two main parts: In the first part, a novel probabilistic diagnostic model based on identifying signs and symptoms of each problem is presented. Thereby, early and correct diagnosis of these problems is to be achieved in order to select not only the most convenient remediation treatment but also unbiased performance metrics. Secondly, the behavior and performance of several supervised algorithms are studied when training sets have such problems. Therefore, prediction of success for treatments can be estimated across classifiers.

To understand changes in physical systems and facilitate decisions, explaining how model predictions are made is crucial. We use model-based interpretability, where models of physical systems are constructed by composing basic constructs that explain locally how energy is exchanged and transformed. We use the port Hamiltonian (p-H) formalism to describe the basic constructs that contain physically interpretable processes commonly found in the behavior of physical systems. We describe how we can build models out of the p-H constructs and how we can train them. In addition we show how we can impose physical properties such as dissipativity that ensure numerical stability of the training process. We give examples on how to build and train models for describing the behavior of two physical systems: the inverted pendulum and swarm dynamics. I. Introduction The necessity for interpretability comes from the fact that it is not always enough to train and model and get an answer, but is also important to understand why a particular answer was given. A simple but meaningful definition of model interpretability given in [17] relates this notion to the degree to which a human can understand the cause of a decision. In our case, since we care about models that describe the behavior of physical systems, we change the definition to the degree to which a human can understand the physical processes that cause a prediction. Throughout this paper we focus on physically-interpretable models: models that embed physical laws that explain how energy is transformed and exchanged in the system. A physically-interpretable model facilitates learning and updating the model when something unexpected happens. This update is done by finding an explanation for an unexpected event. For example, an electrical motor unexpectedly overheats and we ask ourselves: "Why is the motor overheating?".
