GREED: A Neural Framework for Learning Graph Distance Functions

Neural Information Processing Systems

Similarity search in graph databases is one of the most fundamental operations in graph analytics. Among various distance functions, graph and subgraph edit distances (GED and SED respectively) are two of the most popular and expressive measures. Unfortunately, exact computations for both are NP-hard. To overcome this computational bottleneck, neural approaches to learn and predict edit distance in polynomial time have received much interest. While considerable progress has been made, there exist limitations that need to be addressed.

The frantic battle over OpenAI shows that money triumphs in the end Robert Reich

How do we gain access to artificial intelligence's huge potential benefits – such as devising new life-saving drugs or finding new ways to teach children – without opening a box of horrors? If we're not careful, AI could be a Frankenstein monster. It might eliminate nearly all jobs. It could lead to autonomous warfare. Even such a mundane goal as making as many paper clips as possible, critics of AI argue, could push an all-powerful AI to end all life on Earth in pursuit of more clips.


Directed Graph Representation through Vector Cross Product

Graph embedding methods embed the nodes in a graph in low dimensional vector space while preserving graph topology to carry out the downstream tasks such as link prediction, node recommendation and clustering. These tasks depend on a similarity measure such as cosine similarity and Euclidean distance between a pair of embeddings that are symmetric in nature and hence do not hold good for directed graphs. Recent work on directed graphs, HOPE, APP, and NERD, proposed to preserve the direction of edges among nodes by learning two embeddings, source and target, for every node. However, these methods do not take into account the properties of directed edges explicitly. To understand the directional relation among nodes, we propose a novel approach that takes advantage of the non commutative property of vector cross product to learn embeddings that inherently preserve the direction of edges among nodes. We learn the node embeddings through a Siamese neural network where the cross-product operation is incorporated into the network architecture. Although cross product between a pair of vectors is defined in three dimensional, the approach is extended to learn N dimensional embeddings while maintaining the non-commutative property. In our empirical experiments on three real-world datasets, we observed that even very low dimensional embeddings could effectively preserve the directional property while outperforming some of the state-of-the-art methods on link prediction and node recommendation tasks


How to Build Ethical Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

The field of artificial intelligence is exploding with projects such as IBM Watson, DeepMind's AlphaZero, and voice recognition used in virtual assistants including Amazon's Alexa, Apple's Siri, and Google's Home Assistant. Because of the increasing impact of AI on people's lives, concern is growing about how to take a sound ethical approach to future developments. Building ethical artificial intelligence requires both a moral approach to building AI systems and a plan for making AI systems themselves ethical. For example, developers of self-driving cars should be considering their social consequences including ensuring that the cars themselves are capable of making ethical decisions. Here are some major issues that need to be considered.


Language as a Limitation to Understanding

#artificialintelligence

When you're concerned about survival those heuristics save you a lot of energy; when you're trying to expand the breadth and depth of humanities' capabilities they're a hindrance. The world around us is growing and changing faster than ever and our complexities are increasing exponentially. It will only get harder to describe the variety and magnificence of existence with our lexicon … so why try? We personify the world around us and it limits our creativity. Many of humanity's greatest inventions came from skepticism, abstractions and disassociations from norms. A mind enclosed in language is in prison.


'Greed is good': ex-Uber boss likened to Gordon Gekko at trade secrets trial

The Guardian

Lawyers for self-driving car company Waymo play clip from Wall Street in court, as Travis Kalanick is accused of stealing rival's ideas Wed 7 Feb 2018 16.23 EST Last modified on Wed 7 Feb 2018 17.42 EST A scene from the 1987 movie Wall Street became a flashpoint in the trial in which Google's driverless car spinoff Waymo accuses the ride-hailing company Uber of stealing trade secrets. "The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good," said the lead character, Gordon Gekko, played by Michael Douglas, in a grainy YouTube video shown on Wednesday to a packed room in San Francisco's federal court. The former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick watched from the stand, shifting in his seat. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms – greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge – has marked the upward surge of mankind."


Greed, Fear, Game Theory and Deep Learning

#artificialintelligence

In a previous story, I wrote about how a Game Theoretic approach was influencing developments in the Deep Learning field. In this story, I now write about DeepMind's latest foray into this exciting area. Yesterday, February 19th 2017), DeepMind presents their latest research on this subject titled "Understanding Agent Cooperation". The gist of the research is that, they employed Deep Reinforcement Learning networks in two game environments to study their behavior. The motivation is to study multi-agent systems to better understand and control these kinds of systems. In a previous story (see: "Five Capability Levels of Deep Learning", I laid out a road map as to how Deep Learning will evolve in even greater capabilities.


Scientists: How Artificial Intelligence Will View Humans in Future - Daily Squib

#artificialintelligence

The human brain is slow, limited, and needs to rest. Artificial intelligent systems are fast, unlimited and do not need rest. A sentient intelligent brain can adjust its own functions, it can re-order its neurons, it can optimise its process in real time. A.I. will not be clouded by anger, doubt, hate, hunger or vengeance as are some of the traits that mar human existence. It will know exactly what it wants, and it will expand exponentially, maybe even multiplying its numbers.
