A Survey on Archetypal Analysis

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Archetypal analysis (AA) was originally proposed in 1994 by Adele Cutler and Leo Breiman as a computational procedure to extract the distinct aspects called archetypes in observations with each observational record approximated as a mixture (i.e., convex combination) of these archetypes. AA thereby provides straightforward, interpretable, and explainable representations for feature extraction and dimensionality reduction, facilitating the understanding of the structure of high-dimensional data with wide applications throughout the sciences. However, AA also faces challenges, particularly as the associated optimization problem is non-convex. This survey provides researchers and data mining practitioners an overview of methodologies and opportunities that AA has to offer surveying the many applications of AA across disparate fields of science, as well as best practices for modeling data using AA and limitations. The survey concludes by explaining important future research directions concerning AA.

The tasks college students are using Claude AI for most, according to Anthropic

ZDNet

For better or worse, AI tools have steadily become a reality of the academic landscape since ChatGPT launched in late 2022. Anthropic is studying what that looks like in real time. On Tuesday, shortly after launching Claude for Education, the company released data on which tasks university students use its AI chatbot Claude for and which majors use it the most. Using Clio, the company's data analysis tool, to maintain user privacy, Anthropic analyzed 574,740 anonymized conversations between Claude and users at the Free and Pro tiers with higher education email addresses. All conversations appeared to relate to coursework.


#AAAI2025 workshops round-up 2: Open-source AI for mainstream use, and federated learning for unbounded and intelligent decentralization

AIHub

In this series of articles, we're publishing summaries with some of the key takeaways from a few of workshops held at the 39th Annual AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI 2025). The first ever workshop on "Open Source AI for Mainstream Use" was held on March 4, 2025 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia. The goal of this workshop was to bring the researchers and practitioners into a single forum to discuss topics at the intersection of AI and open source and demonstrate relevant technology. Overall, the participants appreciated the interdisciplinary nature of this workshop and are looking forward to repeating it next year. This first edition of the FLUID workshop focused on the emerging challenges and opportunities in federated learning and intelligent decentralization, bringing together a growing international community of researchers working across optimization, privacy, scalability, and practical deployment of decentralized learning systems.
