Machine Learning as a Service (MLaaS) Market Industry Trends, Size, Competitive Analysis and Forecast 2028 - The Daily Chronicle

The amped-up efforts by Facebook and to tone down blatant misinformation on the campaign trail merits public support. Personally, I find myself trying with limited success to tune out the political noise while sensing that the problem goes beyond that.

The rhetoric of politics overall sounds tired and anachronistic, but then, to my ear, so does much of the dialogue on the popular streamers we binge on. Further, check out the virtual learning classes that now pass for education and you run into even lazier forms of communication. We all decided the earth was flat even before the new Netflix documentary, titled Social Dilemma, pointed up the random anti-truths directed our way.

So while misinformation is being challenged by the social media monoliths, my techno-nerd friends remind me that the demise of honest communication demands a more drastic approach. Their solution? Get ready to groan remember, theyre nerds.

Their solution is to alert us to the expanding tools of neuro-symbiotic AI artificial intelligence. For most of us, AI conjures an old Steven Spielberg movie in which a robotic Haley Joel Osment keeps flunking the tests of his cybertronics instructors. Little wonder the poor kid kept saying I see dead people (oops, different movie).

But a San Francisco-based software company called Open AI last month unveiled a system that could write coherent essays, design software applications and even propose recipes for breakfast burritos that is, if fed the appropriate maze of symbols. Its called deep learning but it could even lead to deep communicating.

Mike Davies, director of Intel Corps neuromorphic computing lab, contends that neuro-symbolic AI can potentially deliver our own voice assistants adjusted to user needs, analyzing problems or even, some day, writing film scripts or political speeches.

These systems are still nascent but you could imagine that as the technology progresses, entirely new fields could emerge in terms of advertising or media, Francesco Marconi, founder of Applied XI, told the Wall Street Journal. His company generates briefs on health and environmental data. They will become effective at assisting people because theyll be able to understand and communicate.

The ultimate aim is to build support for a sort of Manhattan Project, akin to the body that fostered the atom bomb. Spending on this technology could grow to $3.2 billion by 2023, according to IDC, a research firm, that looks for future support coming from health care, banking and retail. Yann LeCun, chief AI scientist at Facebook, insists we are in sight of creating a machine that can learn how the world works by watching video, listening to audio and reading text.

Given the critical results of its own self-audits, Facebook is under growing pressure to police hate speech, with AI-based censors potentially mobilized to crack down on targeted content. Thus extremists who argue that conservationists triggered the fires in Oregon could no longer aim their social media propaganda directly at any user who happens to check on fires or conservation.

But advances must come from sources even more esoteric then AI, some scientists insist. In a new book titled Livewired, David Eagleman, a practicing futurist, argues that the increasingly important field of brain science itself will nurture development of artificial neural networks.

As these networks proliferate, they will be embellished by machines that themselves can learn, and adjust to new surroundings, such as self-driving cars or power grids distributing electricity.

Argues Eagleman, The capacity to grow new neural circuits isnt just a response to trauma its with all of us every day and it forms the basis of all learning.

So heres the epiphany: Given the heightened sophistication of our neuro circuitry, political candidates may actually have to talk honestly to us. And there is nothing more intimidating to a political candidate than an intelligent audience even if its artificially intelligent.

Peter Bart: Does Social Media Misinformation Anger You? Theres An AI For That Too - Deadline

General Motors Cruise subsidiary faces a monumental task. The company and its engineers are currently trying to develop a fully autonomous robotaxi that will, in the companies words keep us safer on the road, help make our air cleaner, transform our cities, and give us back time. A lot of smart people have tried and failed to develop a fully autonomous vehicle before, so what makes Cruise different?

One way that Cruise hopes to set itself apart from the competition is with its sophisticated machine learning prediction system, as Cruises Senior Engineering Manager, Sean Harris, explained in a recent Medium post. Like most AV companies, Cruise uses machine learning to give its self-driving prototypes the knowledge to read the road ahead and predict what other motorists, cyclists and pedestrians are going to do before it happens, but where Cruises system aims to excel is with regard to so-called long tail events.

While many AVs can predict common maneuvers such as lane changes or sudden stops in traffic, less common actions such as U-turns or a pedestrian stepping in front of the vehicle suddenly (these are what is referred to as a long tail event) are harder to accurately predict. To solve this, Cruise logs miles on its self-driving Chevrolet Bolt EV prototypes and begins to log these infrequent, outlier events. Engineers then use upsampling or interpolation to teach the machine learning prediction system more about these extremely rare driving events.

Another advantage Cruise has is with regard to data labeling. As the machine learning system evaluates a vehicle, pedestrian, or cyclists trajectory on the road, it eventually becomes familiar and a common predicted trajectory. It can then use this memory bank of predicted trajectories and can compare it against a vehicles observed trajectory. This allows it to appropriately label a trajectory, so long as it was previously recorded in its memory. This system, which Cruise calls a self-supervised learning framework, negates the need for manual human data labeling, which is time-consuming, expensive and inaccurate.

One good example of how predicted trajectory can help an AV maneuver in a city is with regard to U-turns. By learning from long tail events, a Cruise AV can almost instantly recognize when the vehicle ahead is in the beginning stages of making a U-turn and will predict that it will turn around and begin heading in the opposite direction. The auto data-labelling system, meanwhile, would automatically see this as a u-turn maneuver and label it as such, allowing the computer memory to quickly refer back to this event when observing other vehicles making u-turns in the future.

Machine learning is obviously quite complicated (Mr. Harris doesnt have a PhD for nothing) so those who want to learn more should check out his Meidum post at this link for a more in-depth explanation of how Cruises self-driving protoypes well, cruise!

The first production-ready vehicle to use this advanced machine learning stack will be the Cruise Origin robotaxi, which will enter production at GMs Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly plant in 2022.

How Cruise Uses Machine Learning To Predict The Unpredictable - GM Authority

This article is part of ourreviews of AI research papers, a series of posts that explore the latest findings in artificial intelligence.

The Game of Life is a grid-based automaton that is very popular in discussions about science, computation, and artificial intelligence. It is an interesting idea that shows how very simple rules can yield very complicated results.

Despite its simplicity, however, the Game of Life remains a challenge to artificial neural networks, AI researchers at Swarthmore College and the Los Alamos National Laboratory have shown in a recent paper. Titled, Its Hard for Neural Networks To Learn the Game of Life, their research investigates how neural networks explore the Game of Life and why they often miss finding the right solution.

Their findings highlight some of the key issues with deep learning models and give some interesting hints at what could be the next direction of research for the AI community.

British mathematician John Conway invented the Game of Life in 1970. Basically, the Game of Life tracks the on or off statethe lifeof a series of cells on a grid across timesteps. At each timestep, the following simple rules define which cells come to life or stay alive, and which cells die or stay dead:

Based on these four simple rules, you can adjust the initial state of your grid to create interesting stable, oscillating, and gliding patterns.

For instance, this is whats called the glider gun.

You can also use the Game of Life to create very complex pattern, such as this one.

Interestingly, no matter how complex a grid becomes, you can predict the state of each cell in the next timestep with the same rules.

With neural networks being very good prediction machines, the researchers wanted to find out whether deep learning models could learn the underlying rules of the Game of Life.

There are a few reasons the Game of Life is an interesting experiment for neural networks. We already know a solution, Jacob Springer, a computer science student at Swarthmore College and co-author of the paper, told TechTalks. We can write down by hand a neural network that implements the Game of Life, and therefore we can compare the learned solutions to our hand-crafted one. This is not the case in.

It is also very easy to adjust the flexibility of the problem in the Game of Life by modifying the number of timesteps in the future the target deep learning model must predict.

Also, unlike domains such as computer vision or natural language processing, if a neural network has learned the rules of the Game of Life it will reach 100 percent accuracy. Theres no ambiguity. If the network fails even once, then it is has not correctly learned the rules, Springer says.

In their work, the researchers first created a small convolutional neural network and manually tuned its parameters to be able to predict the sequence of changes in the Game of Lifes grid cells. This proved that theres a minimal neural network that can represent the rule of the Game of Life.

Then, they tried to see if the same neural network could reach optimal settings when trained from scratch. They initialized the parameters to random values and trained the neural network on 1 million randomly generated examples of the Game of Life. The only way the neural network could reach 100 percent accuracy would be to converge on the hand-crafted parameter values. This would imply that the AI model had managed to parameterize the rules underlying the Game of Life.

But in most cases the trained neural network did not find the optimal solution, and the performance of the network decreased even further as the number of steps increased. The result of training the neural network was largely affected by the chosen set training examples as well as the initial parameters.

Unfortunately, you never know what the initial weights of the neural network should be. The most common practice is to pick random values from a normal distribution, therefore settling on the right initial weights becomes a game of luck. As for the training dataset, in many cases, it isnt clear which samples are the right ones, and in others, theres not much of a choice.

For many problems, you dont have a lot of choice in dataset; you get the data that you can collect, so if there is a problem with your dataset, you may have trouble training the neural network, Springer says.

In machine learning, one of the popular ways to improve the accuracy of a model that is underperforming is to increase its complexity. And this technique worked with the Game of Life. As the researchers added more layers and parameters to the neural network, the results improved and the training process eventually yielded a solution that reached near-perfect accuracy.

But a larger neural network also means an increase in the cost of training and running the deep learning model.

On the one hand, this shows the flexibility of large neural networks. Although a huge deep learning model might not be the most optimal architecture to address your problem, it has a greater chance of finding a good solution. But on the other, it proves that there is likely to be a smaller deep learning model that can provide the same or better resultsif you can find it.

These findings are in line with The Lottery Ticket Hypothesis, presented at the ICLR 2019 conference by AI researchers at MIT CSAIL. The hypothesis suggested that for each large neural network, there are smaller sub-networks that can converge on a solution if their parameters have been initialized on lucky, winning values, thus the lottery ticket nomenclature.

The lottery ticket hypothesis proposes that when training a convolutional neural network, small lucky subnetworks quickly converge on a solution, the authors of the Game of Life paper write. This suggests that rather than searching extensively through weight-space for an optimal solution, gradient-descent optimization may rely on lucky initializations of weights that happen to position a subnetwork close to a reasonable local minima to which the network converges.

While Conways Game of Life itself is a toy problem and has few direct applications, the results we report here have implications for similar tasks in which a neural network is trained to predict an outcome which requires the network to follow a set of local rules with multiple hidden steps, the AI researchers write in their paper.

These findings can apply to machine learning models used logic or math solvers, weather and fluid dynamics simulations, and logical deduction in language or image processing.

Given the difficulty that we have found for small neural networks to learn the Game of Life, which can be expressed with relatively simple symbolic rules, I would expect that most sophisticated symbol manipulation would be even more difficult for neural networks to learn, and would require even larger neural networks, Springer said. Our result does not necessarily suggest that neural networks cannot learn and execute symbolic rules to make decisions, however, it suggests that these types of systems may be very difficult to learn, especially as the complexity of the problem increases.

The researchers further believe that their findings apply to other fields of machine learning that do not necessarily rely on clear-cut logical rules, such as image and audio classification.

For the moment, we know that, in some cases, increasing the size and complexity of our neural networks can solve the problem of poorly performing deep learning models. But we should also consider the negative impact of using larger neural networks as the go-to method to overcome impasses in machine learning research. One outcome can be greater energy consumption and carbon emissions caused from the compute resources required to train large neural networks. On the other hand, it can result in the collection of larger training datasets instead of relying on finding ideal distribution strategies across smaller datasets, which might not be feasible in domains where data is subject to ethical considerations and privacy laws. And finally, the general trend toward endorsing overcomplete and very large deep learning models can consolidate AI power in large tech companies and make it harder for smaller players to enter the deep learning research space.

We hope that this paper will promote research into the limitations of neural networks so that we can better understand the flaws that necessitate overcomplete networks for learning. We hope that our result will drive development into better learning algorithms that do not face the drawbacks of gradient-based learning, the authors of the paper write.

I think the results certainly motivate research into improved search algorithms, or for methods to improve the efficiency of large networks, Springer said.
