What intelligent workload balancing means for RPA - Information Age

#artificialintelligence

The relatively new concept of intelligent workload balancing is an important one to consider when operating RPA, because it determines whether tasks are more suitable for human employees or their digital colleagues. With this in mind, five industry experts identify particular ways in which this can be applied to this space. Firstly, intelligent workload balancing can be used to check that bots can adhere to rules set up by the company. "The ability to automatically decide if an activity requires human intervention or if it can be performed by a bot is usually called'intelligent workload balancing'," said Sathya Srinivasan, vice-president, solutions consulting (Partners) at Appian. "The intelligence comes from the business rules that determine who is the best candidate to complete the work โ€“ human or bot. If human, which department, group, experience level or management is best to handle this case, and if bot, what does it take to bring a bot in, how flexible can a bot cater to different types of requests. Chris Duddridge, area vice president and managing director UKI at UiPath, explores the link between compliance and robotic process automation. "To be truly effective, a bot must be able to work across a wide set of parameters.

Artificial intelligence: a winning strategy for payments - FinTech Futures

#artificialintelligence

The race is on to reduce fraud and continue improving payment flows. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers a winning strategy, says Chalapathy Neti, head, AI and machine learning platform, Swift. AI is out of the lab and already well on its way to delivering smarter tech solutions in our daily lives. Just look at the way Amazon and Netflix use machine learning algorithms to continually serve us fresh content and products based on our previous behaviours. We get a better, more personalised experience while they strengthen their business models.


Data Mining: Market Basket Analysis with Apriori Algorithm

#artificialintelligence

Some of us go to the grocery with a standard list; while some of us have a hard time sticking to our grocery shopping list, no matter how determined we are. No matter which type of person you are, retailers will always be experts at making various temptations to inflate your budget. Remember the time when you had the "Ohh, I might need this as well." Retailers boost their sales by relying on this one simple intuition. People that buy this will most likely want to buy that as well. People who buy bread will have a higher chance of buying butter together, therefore an experienced assortment manager will definitely know that having a discount on bread pushes the sales on butter as well.


In AI, You Want to Be a Jazz Band

#artificialintelligence

As I continue working on exciting research in Artificial Intelligence, I like making parallels with other areas of science and life in general. I think there is a perfect metaphor from music that explains the AI market. Since helping people fight their health problems is my passion, I'll focus on AI in healthcare. The AI market is currently overwhelmingly at the two opposite extremes -- a high school band and a 7,500-person orchestra. Both extremes are perfectly acceptable and have their audiences. However, there is not much in the middle.


TikTok users will soon have an easier way to add popular GIFs

Engadget

TikTok users will soon have even more ways to make their videos stand out from the crowd. The service has announced the TikTok Library, which will grant creators access to more entertainment-based content. You'll be able to find GIFs, clips from your favorite TV shows, memes and other content, which you can slot into your TikToks. Although there are already ways to insert GIFs from Giphy into TikTok videos, it should be easier to do that once you have access to the library. Until now, Giphy GIFs have been available as Stickers and via the Green Screen effect.


Privacy-Preserving AI for Future Networks

Communications of the ACM

Telco networks and systems evolved over the years to deal with novel services. Today, they are highly complex, distributed ecosystems composed of very diverse sub-environments (see Figure 1). They include myriad types of devices, connectivity means, protocols, and infrastructures often managed by different teams with varying expertise and tools, or even different companies. High-level view of the complexity of telcos' networks and systems with a large variety of devices, connectivity means, protocols, and infrastructures. Traditional network management solutions (for example, network over-provisioning, rule-based systems, reactive approaches) are reaching their limits in dealing with this complex ecosystem.


Japan to strengthen fertility treatment consultation system

The Japan Times

Japan will strengthen its consultation system for fertility treatment as its public health insurance program starts covering such treatment in April. The health ministry plans to integrate related public consultation windows under a single system. The new facilities will help people with specialist advice and provide emotional support to women who feel anxious. In the fiscal 2022 revision of official medical fees, the public insurance coverage will be extended to fertility treatment such as in vitro fertilization and artificial insemination as part of efforts to shore up the country's falling birthrate. Thanks to this, costs of fertility treatment that have been fully paid by patients will be limited to 30% in principle.


The AI Project Cycle

#artificialintelligence

The AI Project Cycle is a cycle/order of an AI Project which defines every step an organization must take to harness/get value (Monetary or others) from that AI Project to get more ROI (Return on Investment). You might have seen AI Project Cycle images Starting from'Problem Scoping', ignoring'Problem Identification', But in this article we will discuss about the one with'Problem Identification' which is a more accurate representation. In Today's Article, we will discuss the various stages of the AI Project Cycle, starting with Problem Identification, followed by Problem Scoping, Data Acquisition, Data Exploration, Data Modelling, Evaluation and finally Deployment. You may think that the Tip of the Iceberg is the problem, but in most cases, it's not. In many cases, the problems are not obvious, the problem may look small, but digging deep and down into the problem, we will realize that the problem has a lot to it, and that the beginning is nothing.


A novel evolutionary-based neuro-fuzzy task scheduling approach to jointly optimize the main design challenges of heterogeneous MPSoCs

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In this paper, an online task scheduling and mapping method based on a fuzzy neural network (FNN) learned by an evolutionary multi-objective algorithm (NSGA-II) to jointly optimize the main design challenges of heterogeneous MPSoCs is proposed. In this approach, first, the FNN parameters are trained using an NSGA-II-based optimization engine by considering the main design challenges of MPSoCs including temperature, power consumption, failure rate, and execution time on a training dataset consisting of different application graphs of various sizes. Next, the trained FNN is employed as an online task scheduler to jointly optimize the main design challenges in heterogeneous MPSoCs. Due to the uncertainty in sensor measurements and the difference between computational models and reality, applying the fuzzy neural network is advantageous in online scheduling procedures. The performance of the method is compared with some previous heuristic, meta-heuristic, and rule-based approaches in several experiments. Based on these experiments our proposed method outperforms the related studies in optimizing all design criteria. Its improvement over related heuristic and meta-heuristic approaches are estimated 10.58% in temperature, 9.22% in power consumption, 39.14% in failure rate, and 12.06% in execution time, averagely. Moreover, considering the interpretable nature of the FNN, the frequently fired extracted fuzzy rules of the proposed approach are demonstrated.
