Webinar: Grady Booch: Software Architecture for AI-intensive Systems
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WEBINAR WILL START ON WEDNESDAY, 16 SEPTEMBER, 2020, AT 6:30 PM ***BST (LONDON TIME)*** (1.30 PM ***EDT (NEW YORK TIME)***) TITLE: Software Architecture for AI-intensive Systems ABSTRACT The problem at hand is partly the application of software engineering best practices to AI, but more so the evolution of software engineering to attend to software-intensive systems that contain AI components. BIOGRAPHIES Grady Booch is Chief Scientist for Software Engineering at IBM Research where he leads IBM's research and development for embodied cognition. Having originated the term and the practice of object-oriented design, he is best known for his work in advancing the fields of software engineering and software architecture. A co-author of the Unified Modeling Language (UML), a founding member of the Agile Alliance, and a founding member of the Hillside Group, Grady has published six books and several hundred technical articles, including an ongoing column for IEEE Software. Grady was also a trustee for the Computer History Museum.
TreeGAN: Incorporating Class Hierarchy into Image Generation
Zhang, Ruisi, Mou, Luntian, Xie, Pengtao
Conditional image generation (CIG) is a widely studied problem in computer vision and machine learning. Given a class, CIG takes the name of this class as input and generates a set of images that belong to this class. In existing CIG works, for different classes, their corresponding images are generated independently, without considering the relationship among classes. In real-world applications, the classes are organized into a hierarchy and their hierarchical relationships are informative for generating high-fidelity images. In this paper, we aim to leverage the class hierarchy for conditional image generation. We propose two ways of incorporating class hierarchy: prior control and post constraint. In prior control, we first encode the class hierarchy, then feed it as a prior into the conditional generator to generate images. In post constraint, after the images are generated, we measure their consistency with the class hierarchy and use the consistency score to guide the training of the generator. Based on these two ideas, we propose a TreeGAN model which consists of three modules: (1) a class hierarchy encoder (CHE) which takes the hierarchical structure of classes and their textual names as inputs and learns an embedding for each class; the embedding captures the hierarchical relationship among classes; (2) a conditional image generator (CIG) which takes the CHE-generated embedding of a class as input and generates a set of images belonging to this class; (3) a consistency checker which performs hierarchical classification on the generated images and checks whether the generated images are compatible with the class hierarchy; the consistency score is used to guide the CIG to generate hierarchy-compatible images. Experiments on various datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

Transparency and granularity in the SP Theory of Intelligence and its realisation in the SP Computer Model
This chapter describes how the SP System, meaning the SP Theory of Intelligence, and its realisation as the SP Computer Model, may promote transparency and granularity in AI, and some other areas of application. The chapter describes how transparency in the workings and output of the SP Computer Model may be achieved via three routes: 1) the program provides a very full audit trail for such processes as recognition, reasoning, analysis of language, and so on. There is also an explicit audit trail for the unsupervised learning of new knowledge; 2) knowledge from the system is likely to be granular and easy for people to understand; and 3) there are seven principles for the organisation of knowledge which are central in the workings of the SP System and also very familiar to people (eg chunking-with-codes, part-whole hierarchies, and class-inclusion hierarchies), and that kind of familiarity in the way knowledge is structured by the system, is likely to be important in the interpretability, explainability, and transparency of that knowledge. Examples from the SP Computer Model are shown throughout the chapter.
This Is Why People Love Python Programming
Python is like Heath Ledger in the programming world. Who does even hate Heath Ledger? Python is just like that in the developer community these days. Python is an English like, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language created by Guido Van Rossum initially released in 1991 named after a TV show that he loved named - Monty Python's Flying Circus. We love Python and You should also love Python.

Python is what is referred to as a high level language. That means it is a language that is closer to humans than computer.It is also known as a general purpose programming language due to it's flexibility. Python is an interpreted language that does not need to be complied like for example java programming language. It is interpreted and run on the fly the same time.
Motivation
The user experiences of functional programming languages sucks. No doubt, this is a sad but true story for most functional programming (FP) languages. I personally thought that FP languages like Haskell offers a very unified and pure programming concepts (i.e. However, Haskell syntax is a mess (take a look at the grammar), there are a lot of edge cases (e.g. Of course this problem is not only limited to Haskell, similar problems can also be found in other FP languages like Erlang, F#, OCaml etc.
