Data Exchange and Marketplace, a New Business Model in Making

@machinelearnbot

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of numerous physical devices, also known as the Internet of objects, refers to the networked interconnection of everyday objects (20 billion by 2020, according to Gartner). Such devices will be an integral part of next-generation computing, additionally, these devices will produce astronomical data volume, catapulting us into the world of zettabytes and yottabytes. Data is a new Oil, which is a byproduct of doing operations and for others, same data can be a catalyst to capture newer insights, build AI models and drive innovation. Data Explorers and Data Miners: It would not be easy to find valuable data from massive data reservoir acquired from diverse sources. The exploration requires tremendous effort and there will be an opportunity for players and service providers who can choose an area or segment(s) and build competency.


Snyk - Local Type Inference Cheat Sheet for Java 10 and beyond!

#artificialintelligence

Welcome to the first in a new series of cheat sheets that we'll be running on the Snyk blog. We'll be providing content for you to print and pin up to help you be a better developer. In our first edition and hot on the heels on Java 10, we'll be focusing on the much talked about type inference for local variables. The main premise behind the local type inference feature is pretty simple. Replace the explicit type in the declaration with the new reserved type name'var' and its type will be inferred.


Democratizing Machine Learning Algorithms for Integrated Data-Sharing

#artificialintelligence

Media companies have come a long way in how they make critical business decisions, in the midst of a technology revolution unprecedented in its ability to challenge and change the industry. Thanks largely to stunning technological advancements in the last decade, surveys, focus groups, rating charts and rankers have been supplemented or supplanted by mountains of granular data, along with highly sophisticated collection and analysis techniques, that are transforming the way media companies produce, acquire, package and distribute content. The end result, arguably, is a better consumer experience, as well as increased advertiser value. This technological tsunami can be overwhelming, however, and knowing how to capture and utilize its power is a key to succeed in this turbulent industry. ION Media Networks, whose flagship channel, ION Television, catapulted to a top 10 U.S. cable network in less than a decade, has taken a relatively straight forward approach with its technology strategy, and then deployed it meticulously throughout the company.

Deep Multimodal Subspace Clustering Networks

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Abstract--We present convolutional neural network (CNN) based approaches for unsupervised multimodal subspace clustering. The proposed framework consists of three main stages - multimodal encoder, self-expressive layer, and multimodal decoder . The encoder takes multimodal data as input and fuses them to a latent space representation. We investigate early, late and intermediate fusion techniques and propose three different encoders corresponding to them for spatial fusion. The self-expressive layers and multimodal decoders are essentially the same for different spatial fusion-based approaches. In addition to various spatial fusion-based methods, an affinity fusion-based network is also proposed in which the self-expressiveness layer corresponding to different modalities is enforced to be the same. Extensive experiments on three datasets show that the proposed methods significantly outperform the state-of-the-art multimodal subspace clustering methods. ANY practical applications in image processing, computer vision, and speech processing require one to process very high-dimensional data. However, these data often lie in a low-dimensional subspace. For instance, facial images with variation in illumination [1], handwritten digits [2] and trajectories of a rigidly moving object in a video [3] are examples where the high-dimensional data can be represented by low-dimensional subspaces. Subspace clustering algorithms essentially use this fact to find clusters in different subspaces within a dataset [4].


Evaluation of Type Inference with Textual Cues

AAAI Conferences

Type information plays an important role in the success of information retrieval and recommendation systems in software engineering. Thus, the absence of types in dynamically-typed languages poses a challenge to adapt these systems to support dynamic languages. In this paper, we explore the viability of type inference using textual cues. That is, we formulate the type inference problem as a classification problem which uses the textual features in the source code to predict the type of variables. In this approach, a classifier learns a model to distinguish between types of variables in a program. The model is subsequently used to (approximately) infer the types of other variables. We evaluate the feasibility of this approach on four Java projects wherein type information is already available in the source code and can be used to train and test a classifier. Our experiments show this approach can predict the type of new variables with relatively high accuracy (80% F-measure). These results suggest that textual cues can be complementary tools in inferring types for dynamic languages.

NIAS, NASA UTM Completes TCL3 Testing โ€“ DEEP AERO DRONES โ€“ Medium

#artificialintelligence

The Nevada Institute for Autonomous Systems (NIAS), in partnership with NASA UTM, conducted multiple drone tests at the Nevada UAS test site at the Reno-Stead Airport. The technology capability level 3 (TCL 3) focused on airspace management technologies seeking to enable the safe integration of UAS into the National Airspace Systems. The research areas during the testing covered UAS ground control interfacing to locally manage operations, communication, navigation, surveillance, human factors, data exchange, network solutions and BVLOS architecture. "The state of Nevada will be known for its significant contribution in this journey through its pioneering work with the FAA, NASA and private partners like ourselves, facilitating safe and effective integration into national airspace," says Mike Richards, President and CEO of Drone America. NASA, FAA and its partners, and NIAS are working on the innovations and the industry growth while respecting aviation safety traditions.

Data Collection Tools for Events Analytics

@machinelearnbot

One of the first things we do after launching a website nowadays is connect to Google Analytics. A little bit down the road we'll connect more "out-of-box" analytics tools to calculate funnels, retention, A/B tests, and more. These tools are great and work fine until a company gets bigger and analytics requirements get more sophisticated. It's time to set up a data infrastructure, which means selecting a data collection tool, ETL tool, data warehouse, and BI tool on top of that. In the startup world this usually happens when a company has raised Series A and has around 25-50 employees.
