It can be difficult to interpret a coefficient of an uncertain model. A slope coefficient of a regression model may change as covariates are added or removed from the model. In the context of high-dimensional data, there are too many model extensions to check. However, as we show here, it is possible to efficiently search, with a branch and bound algorithm, for maximum and minimum values of that adjusted slope coefficient over a discrete space of regularized regression models. Here we introduce our algorithm, along with supporting mathematical results, an example application, and a link to our computer code, to help researchers summarize high-dimensional data and assess the stability of regression coefficients in uncertain models.

Although the number of gaze estimation datasets is growing, the application of appearance-based gaze estimation methods is mostly limited to estimating the point of gaze on a screen. This is in part because most datasets are generated in a similar fashion, where the gaze target is on a screen close to camera's origin. In other applications such as assistive robotics or marketing research, the 3D point of gaze might not be close to the camera's origin, meaning models trained on current datasets do not generalize well to these tasks. We therefore suggest generating a textured tridimensional mesh of the face and rendering the training images from a virtual camera at a specific position and orientation related to the application as a mean of augmenting the existing datasets. In our tests, this lead to an average 47% decrease in gaze estimation angular error.

Category theory has been successfully applied in various domains of science, shedding light on universal principles unifying diverse phenomena and thereby enabling knowledge transfer between them. Applications to machine learning have been pursued recently, and yet there is still a gap between abstract mathematical foundations and concrete applications to machine learning tasks. In this paper we introduce DisCoPyro as a categorical structure learning framework, which combines categorical structures (such as symmetric monoidal categories and operads) with amortized variational inference, and can be applied, e.g., in program learning for variational autoencoders. We provide both mathematical foundations and concrete applications together with comparison of experimental performance with other models (e.g., neuro-symbolic models). We speculate that DisCoPyro could ultimately contribute to the development of artificial general intelligence.

DLTK is a neural networks toolkit written in python, on top of TensorFlow. It is developed to enable fast prototyping with a low entry threshold and ensure reproducibility in image analysis applications, with a particular focus on medical imaging. Its goal is to provide the community with state of the art methods and models and to accelerate research in this exciting field. If you use any application from the DLTK Model Zoo, additionally refer to the respective README.md To ease into the subject, we wrote a quick overview blog entry (12 min read) for the new TensorFlow blog.

It is targeted to those looking for an out-of-the-box solution to test the Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence capabilities of NVIDIA Jetson boards. It offers a portable and easy-to-use environment that can be executed on any NVIDIA Jetson board. The project includes a set of example applications that exercise ML and AI frameworks such as DeepStream, OpenCV, GStreamer, GstInference, among others. Each example comes with the source code and they are implemented in different languages and using different frameworks (bash scripts, python, C/C, GStreamer, etc). You can find the example that is closer to your use case, and use it as a starting point for your demos and exploratory tests.

Session four similarly focuses on Genetic Algorithms with applications to data mining and solving a prototypical problem applicable to production scheduling.

In 2019, I was asked to write the Foreword for the book "Graph Algorithms: Practical Examples in Apache Spark and Neo4j", by Mark Needham and Amy E. Hodler. I wrote an extensive piece on the power of graph databases, linked data, graph algorithms, and various significant graph analytics applications. In their wisdom, the editors of the book decided that I wrote "too much". So, they correctly shortened my contribution by about half in the final published version of my Foreword for the book. The book is awesome, an absolute must-have reference volume, and it is free (for now, downloadable from Neo4j).
