How AI will rescue us from online learning's 'bad television'

#artificialintelligence

Post-pandemic, some of universities' teaching practices may never return. In parallel, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming so capable it could start changing how we learn. Covid, perversely, may herald a renaissance for online learning. Most digital learning today is terrible, resembling "bad television", as frequent collaborator professor Alex Pentland of MIT puts it. According to a 2019 study, only 3 per cent of students who start an online class finish it.

5 Trends That Will Drive the Transformation of EdTech in 2021 - Software Technology Blog

#artificialintelligence

Covid-19 has accelerated the adoption of technology across various sectors, but the speed at which EdTech advanced is remarkable. Millions of schools switched to remote learning, almost overnight. And it looks like the changes that EdTech has enabled, will continue to influence education even as educational institutes prepare for a full return to classrooms. EdTech is here to stay. With that, let's look at the 5 trends that will possibly guide the growth of EdTech this year.

Do You Need A Masters Degree to Become a Data Scientist?

#artificialintelligence

Given the hype going on about data science, this is a very valid question, do you need a master's degree. If this hype is genuine or not is also another big question. But this article will focus on if a master's degree is necessary. There are so many other short, easier, and cheaper options out there. Is it still necessary to go through a big academic process?


An Online Learning Approach to Interpolation and Extrapolation in Domain Generalization

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Modern machine learning algorithms excel when the training and test distributions match but often fail under even moderate distribution shift (Beery et al., 2018); learning a predictor which generalizes to distributions which differ from the training data is therefore an important task. This objective, broadly referred to as out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization, is not realizable in general, so researchers have formalized several possible restrictions. Common choices include a structural assumption such as covariate or label shift (Widmer & Kubat, 1996; Bickel et al., 2009; Lipton et al., 2018) or expecting that the test distribution will lie in some uncertainty set around the training distribution (Bagnell, 2005; Rahimian & Mehrotra, 2019). One popular assumption is that the training data is comprised of a collection of "environments" (Blanchard et al., 2011; Muandet et al., 2013; Peters et al., 2016) or "groups" (Sagawa et al., 2020), each representing a distinct distribution, where the group identity of each sample is known. The hope is that by cleverly training on such a combination of groups, one can derive a robust predictor which will better transfer to unseen test data which relates to the observed distributions--such a task is known as domain generalization.

Online Learning via Offline Greedy Algorithms: Applications in Market Design and Optimization

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Motivated by online decision-making in time-varying combinatorial environments, we study the problem of transforming offline algorithms to their online counterparts. We focus on offline combinatorial problems that are amenable to a constant factor approximation using a greedy algorithm that is robust to local errors. For such problems, we provide a general framework that efficiently transforms offline robust greedy algorithms to online ones using Blackwell approachability. We show that the resulting online algorithms have $O(\sqrt{T})$ (approximate) regret under the full information setting. We further introduce a bandit extension of Blackwell approachability that we call Bandit Blackwell approachability. We leverage this notion to transform greedy robust offline algorithms into a $O(T^{2/3})$ (approximate) regret in the bandit setting. Demonstrating the flexibility of our framework, we apply our offline-to-online transformation to several problems at the intersection of revenue management, market design, and online optimization, including product ranking optimization in online platforms, reserve price optimization in auctions, and submodular maximization. We show that our transformation, when applied to these applications, leads to new regret bounds or improves the current known bounds.


Making the most of your day: online learning for optimal allocation of time

arXiv.org Machine Learning

We study online learning for optimal allocation when the resource to be allocated is time. Examples of possible applications include a driver filling a day with rides, a landlord renting an estate, etc. Following our initial motivation, a driver receives ride proposals sequentially according to a Poisson process and can either accept or reject a proposed ride. If she accepts the proposal, she is busy for the duration of the ride and obtains a reward that depends on the ride duration. If she rejects it, she remains on hold until a new ride proposal arrives. We study the regret incurred by the driver first when she knows her reward function but does not know the distribution of the ride duration, and then when she does not know her reward function, either. Faster rates are finally obtained by adding structural assumptions on the distribution of rides or on the reward function. This natural setting bears similarities with contextual (one-armed) bandits, but with the crucial difference that the normalized reward associated to a context depends on the whole distribution of contexts.
