How Will Machine Learning Serve the Hotel Industry in 2020 and Beyond? – CIO Applications

Fremont, CA:Artificial intelligence (AI) implementation grew tremendously last year alone such that any business that does not consider the implications of machine learning (ML) will find itself in multiple binds. It has become mandatory that companies should question themselves how they will utilize machine learning to reap its benefits while staying in business. Similarly, hotels should interrogate themselves about how they will use ML. However, trying to catch-up with this technology is potentially dangerous when companies realize that their competition is outperforming them. When hotels believe that robotic housekeepers and facial recognition kiosks are the effective applications of ML, they can do much more. Here is how ML serves the hotel industry while helping save money, improve service, and grow more efficient.

For successfully running the hotel industry, energy and water are the two most important factors. Will there be a no if there is a technology that controls the use of the two critical factors without affecting the guests comfort zone. Every dollar saved on energy and water can impact the bottom line of the business in a big way. Hotels can track the actual consumption of energy against predictive models allowing them to manage performance against competitors. Hotel brands can link-in room energy to the PMS so that when the room is empty, the heater or any other electrical appliances, automatically turns off.

ML helps brands hire suitable candidates and also highly qualified candidates who might have been overlooked for not fulfilling traditional expectations. ML algorithms were used to create assessments to test candidates for recruiting against the personas using gamification-based tools. Further, ML maximizes the value of premium inventory and increases guest satisfaction by offering guests personalized upgrades based on their previous stay at a price that the guest is ready to pay at booking and pre-arrival period. Using ML technology, hotel brands can create offers at any point during the guest stay, including the front desk. Thus, the future of sustainability in the hospitality industry relies on ML.

Overcoming the Explainability Challenges of Machine Learning Models – Machine Learning Times – machine learning & data science news – The…

Some History Machine Learning Models, which have historically been referred to as predictive models, are not new. Any early practitioner in this field would emphasize that the two key deliverables of any model are as follows: its benefits to the business or organization Model Explainability (i.e. what is inside the model) The model benefits are essentially about optimizing ROI where the challenge might be to identify those key metrics that impact ROI. For a marketing campaign, the use of the model helps the marketer to better allocate his or her budget towards those individuals who are more likely to respond

Advanced analytics and machine learning the connected airport takes flight – Passenger Terminal Today

As restrictions on air travel begin to lift and the volume of air travelers starts to increase, airport operators will be leveraging an extensive range of innovative technologies in a bid to streamline passenger journeys, deliver more personalized experiences, and optimize operational capacity and efficiencies.

The key is data. By generating, analyzing and acting on a variety of new datapoints, airport operators are able to provide a host of innovative processes and services to improve operations. From mobile apps that help passengers navigate the facilities and services on offer prior to embarkation and stay updated on their travel arrangements, to self-service check-in and artificial intelligence (AI) powered customer service chatbots, the airport of today is evolving at breakneck speed.

On top of this, automation technologies help airport operators reduce queues and streamline passenger movements through key security controls, immigration and gate checkpoints. Data-powered services are also offering passengers a more frictionless journey experience.

The connected airport takes flight

The emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) smart sensors and facial recognition technologies means that todays airport operators have access to huge volumes of data. Whats more, they are primed and ready to use a variety of cutting-edge solutions that will make it easier to leverage insight from this data to optimize their operational capabilities. These technologies promise to make airports and the surrounding infrastructure safer and more efficient than ever before.

Using AI algorithms and digital twin technologies, operators will soon be able to collate data from across their real-time airport and airline operations to visualize, simulate and predict with greater certainty exactly what is likely to happen next. Leveraging these insights, theyll be able to trigger proactive responses to any anticipated event.

Sharing this operational data with other stakeholders, including airline operators, theyll be able to monitor passenger numbers and identify their key characteristics, all of which will make it easier to turn around facilities faster and ensure that appropriate human and equipment resources are in the right place, at the right time.

Meanwhile, a growing number of connected and autonomous vehicles and robots are already making an appearance in airports around the globe.

Baggage and luggage: using analytics for just-in-time operations

One key area where transformational technologies are making an impact now for airports, airlines and ground handlers is by better tracking the billions of bags that are transported every year. This technology is already rolling out across the world and is set to make it easier for passengers to track their bags progress, from the moment they deposit it to the final delivery into their hands once they reach their end destination.

Following the 2018 introduction of IATAs Resolution 753, which requires baggage to be tracked at key points passenger handover to airline, loading to the aircraft, delivery to transfer area and return to the passenger airports have been turning to data collection and analytics to enhance the entire extended chain of custody.

Alongside addressing the challenge of baggage mishandling, increasing the efficiency of their baggage operations and delivering an enhanced passenger experience, the introduction of these technologies has also enabled airports to work more closely with airlines to keep airplanes and passengers safer. Key to this is clamping down on the illicit activities of airside and landside personnel.

For example, analytics can spot unusual patterns such as bags unexpectedly entering the system on loading, or baggage handlers who are associated with baggage that is persistently misrouted. Consider items such as an extra bag surreptitiously checked into the baggage system by a bad-actor baggage handleraftera passenger has boarded. The extra bag might contain goods for resale such as rare apparel, or items subject to high tariffs. When claimed by an accomplice at the destination, the passenger would never know about the illegal use of their identity nor would the airline know of its criminal exploitation. Analytics technologies identify this type of misuse by analyzing the anomalous patterns from the activity logs of the handlers and the bags themselves.

Tightening security controls

The adoption of machine learning and the integration of AI with airport security systems such as screening, perimeter security and surveillance is enabling airport authorities to initiate additional security layers designed to protect the safety of employees and passengers alike. This includes implementing enhanced risk-based screening measures, behavioral recognition and modeling systems and state-of-the art 3D checkpoint scanners, as well as using smart gates and enhanced facial recognition at every stage of a departing passengers journey.

Systems that can detect and pinpoint risky behaviors can be used to detect disgruntled passengers or airport/airline staff, all of which helps improve the detection of potential security threats.

Protecting critical assets

Clearly, as automated airside operations become a reality, airport management teams will increasingly be dependent on leveraging real-time data to reduce the variability of operational processes and improve performance.

Integrating operational silos to facilitate the real-time information flows that feed their complex adaptive systems logistics, customer-facing services and airline operators is just the start. Keeping such highly connected environments protected from external cyber threats that attempt to access assets will increasingly become a top priority if airport operators are to realize the benefits of their technology investments.

With airports considered critical infrastructure, a growing awareness of data and its inherent risks is a must-have.

How Machine Learning Connects With Meditation or Vipassana – Analytics India Magazine

Kasia Borowska, co-founder and managing director at Brainpool AI took us through an interesting analogy between vipassana and machine learning to attain equanimity, at Rising 2020. With a degree in mathematics and cognitive sciences, she is also deeply immersed in the world of vipassana, Indias most ancient meditation techniques which has been in practice for more than 2500 years. And it was during her learnings in meditation, she found that machine learning is in fact, in many ways similar to attaining vipassana.

Understanding that your brain is an extremely sophisticated machine learning system can help us acknowledge and come to peace with whatever happens to us, she said.

Highlighting some of the similarities between meditation and machine learning she said that both have become popular in a decades time and while a lot is known about them in a theoretical world, there hasnt been enough translation of that knowledge into actual practice. Corporates see machine learning as one of the key technologies to be applied in organisations, but incorporating it comes with many challenges scaling it, integrating it into systems to name a few.

Further explaining the similarity, she said, everything we experience with our senses is our input data, everything we think and do is an output. What happens inside of the black box which we call our brain is still a mystery, and vipassana can give us an insight into these complex algorithms that are trained in the brain throughout our lifetime.

Talking about how these two work, she said that any ML system works by inputting data, making and bettering the algorithms and generating outputs. It is the same way as the brain works where sensory inputs are the data which is processed by the brain to give output in the form of thoughts and actions.

Just the way the human brain has conscious and subconscious ways of thinking, the machines may process data in a similar way which are called priming and bias in systems. She pointed out a few areas where humans see bias and may creep in machines in a similar way:

These biases which are in-built in humans may be found in machines. Similarly, priming is also a way that defines how machines work. It is interesting to note that priming and bias which are the features or humans has also been picked by AI. The way humans are primed about certain content, for instance, in social media, machine learning systems work on these priming as well.

Further expanding on the comparison, she said, just the way in vipassana practice, one needs to sense and feel everything, which may sound simple but is the most challenging part of meditation. Similarly pre-processing of data in machine learning systems is the most important and challenging part.

All the concepts of machine learning, such as reinforcement learning can find a connection with how meditation works. She further highlighted that understanding the simplicity of the input-output, observing and accepting the actions can help us find the path to equanimity.

The (Recent) History of Self-Supervised Learning – Security Boulevard

Youve undoubtedly read about self-supervised learning or unsupervised AI cybersecurity. As their descriptions imply, these security platforms offer a degree of autonomous AI oversight.

Still, what does this mean, exactly? Is there a meaningful difference between supervised and unsupervised AI?

The answer is a resounding, yes. Lets dig in.

AI technology experts have made advances in the field over the past few decades that have dramatically increased its potential as a network security solution. The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) outlines three eras of AI:

Today, many security platforms utilize second-wave AI, even while making claims that frame their capabilities as third-wave solutions. The good news is that its relatively simple to evaluate these claims as you seek a more robust cybersecurity solution.

Machine learning AI relies on classifying massive datasets with informative tags or labels. Network security engineers create a training algorithm to define data regions and create text-based descriptions of these regions.

The algorithm builds the central source of truth or network baseline, which is used to analyze future network behavior. Network activity that differs from the baseline triggers the machine learning security platform to flag it for review.

Importantly, this baseline information is only as current as the last manual update and is only as accurate as the labels applied to network data.

Another critical limitation of supervised machine learning is its inability to analyze network behavior with context. For the security platform to understand why a new network behavior is acceptable, the underlying baseline source of truth must be current.

Situations like the recent shift to telecommuting in response to COVID-19 restrictions can effectively break machine-learning security platforms. These systems churn out hundreds of anomalous behavior alerts because the baseline expectation is that the network is usually accessed onsite. A sudden influx of remote connections wont match baseline expectations unless the baseline is adjusted.

Modern, third-wave, self-supervised AI technology is every bit as sophisticated and futuristic as it might sound, but at a high level, the concept is straightforward.

Self-supervised AI learns organically in the same way people learn. During early development, humans dont need to be taught every step involved with walking, talking, or eating. The same can be said of unsupervised AI. We can equip this technology with the seeds it needs to become a living, ever-evolving part of a given organizations network.

Real unsupervised AI spots security issues sooner and predicts future behavior more accurately than older first- and second-wave solutions. Self-supervised AI technology draws on an understanding of the fundamental nature of the network where it lives, an understanding that isnt possible with supervised-AI.

Self-supervised learning takes into account an evolving network baseline. Essentially, it is smart enough to quickly adapt baseline expectations to changing situations like the shift to telecommuting due to COVID-19. This is a crucial distinction for two reasons:

1. SecOps teams can respond to genuine threats quicker because they dont need to wade through a massive list of false-positive alarms.

2. The system doesnt need constant babysitting.

The result is a security solution that is more accurate, more responsive, and less demanding on security resources, including skilled labor.

The network security market is flooded with companies promoting ultra-modern, AI-enhanced platforms. At first glance, it might appear that hands-off security solutions are the norm at this point. Take a closer look, and it will become clear that AI has multiple meanings throughout the security market.

The general perception many people have about AI is that the primary feature of this technology is its ability to handle tasks free from human intervention. In reality, network security products integrated with so-called AI often require a great deal of oversight and input. Most security firms have not evolved to the point where they can offer authentic self-supervised learning AI.

Google and Nvidia Take Cloud AI Performance to the Next Level – Data Center Knowledge

Google Cloud and Nvidia said Tuesday that Google would be the first cloud provider to offer Nvidias latest GPU for machine learning as a service.

The Nvidia A100 Tensor Core GPU, based on the chipmakers new Ampere architecture, represents the largest intergenerational leap in performance in Nvidias history. The company said the part performed 20 times better than its previous-gen product.

Related: How Google Cloud Plans to Win Enterprises from AWS and Azure

Another way Ampere is different from its predecessors is that its designed for both training and inference machine learning workloads. Nvidia designed a different GPU for each of the two types of workload in prior generations.

And clients can now kick the tires on Ampere in Google Cloud, as part of a new type of cloud instance the provider also announced Tuesday: Accelerator-Optimized VM, or A2.

Related: MLPerf Is Changing the AI Hardware Performance Conversation. Heres how

The beefiest configuration of Google'sA2 cloud instance comes with 16 Ampere GPUs, all interconnected by NVSwitch, Nvidias technology for interconnecting many GPUs to form a single computing fabric. Thats 640GB of GPU memory, 1.3TB of system memory, and 9.6TB/s of aggregate bandwidth.

Smaller A2 configurations are available as well.

For now, A100 instances are only available in alpha. Google Cloud was also first to launch Nvidias older T4 GPUs, in November 2018, also in alpha. T4 beta came about three months later, and general availability was announced after four more months.

Google Cloud may be first to offer Ampere GPUs as a service, but Nvidia had delivered the chips to all the major cloud providers as of mid-May, when it announced the chip publicly, the chipmakers CEO, Jensen Huang, told Bloomberg at the time. The others (AWS, Azure, Alibaba, Oracle, IBM) will likely roll out their own Ampere cloud infrastructure soon.

Google Cloud was also first to roll out cloud instances powered by AMDs Epyc 2 chips, which beat comparable Intel parts on both performance and price. The instances, according to Google, would be the most powerful VMs available to Google Cloud users.

Epyc 2 is also the CPU in Nvidias own Ampere-based supercomputer for machine learning, the DGX A100, which it announced along with A100 GPUs in May.
