#deeplearning

3 posts3 participants0 posts today

AI is a hot topic these days, but what does that word even mean? Originally it was about our quest to understand our own minds, but it has come to refer to one technology: deep learning. We often talk about AI as if it were just a human mind in a box, but the reality is quite different, in nuanced ways that AI companies play down. In this month's blog post, I explore how AI relates to human intelligence, what it reproduces, and what it doesn't.

Tell me about it...

"Artificial intelligence (AI) systems with human-level reasoning are unlikely to be achieved through the approach and technology that have dominated the current boom in AI, according to a survey of hundreds of people working in the field.

More than three-quarters of respondents said that enlarging current AI systems ― an approach that has been hugely successful in enhancing their performance over the past few years ― is unlikely to lead to what is known as artificial general intelligence (AGI). An even higher proportion said that neural networks, the fundamental technology behind generative AI, alone probably cannot match or surpass human intelligence. And the very pursuit of these capabilities also provokes scepticism: less than one-quarter of respondents said that achieving AGI should be the core mission of the AI research community.

"I don’t know if reaching human-level intelligence is the right goal,” says Francesca Rossi, an AI researcher at IBM in Yorktown Heights, New York, who spearheaded the survey in her role as president of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) in Washington DC. “AI should support human growth, learning and improvement, not replace us.”

The survey results were unveiled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Saturday at the annual meeting of the AAAI. They include responses from more than 475 AAAI members, 67% of them academics."

However, neither this method had a satisfactory data output that would suit the #RomChords project’s purposes. Even the state-of-the-art polyphonic detection algorithms (such as the one developed by Celemony Melodyne) produce a lot of noise, and cleaning the data to a standard usable for the project would be enormously laborious.

(Although it is possible that in a few years, progress in #DeepLearning will make this method much more effective and efficient).

Read any Deep Learning papers that made you do a double take?

Share them here, and we can make a list to blow each other's minds and get closer to actually understanding what the hell is going on. Boosts appreciated! :boost_requested:

We've learned a ton about Deep Learning over the years, but in a fundamental way we still don't get it. There's tons of tricks we use without knowing why, and weird examples that work much better or much worse than you'd expect. We try to probe and visualize what's going on inside the black box, and what we find is often strange and hard to interpret.

I'm in an excellent class right now exploring the "surprises" of deep learning, reading papers like this to build a better understanding. I've shared a few of them here, but now I'm looking for more to share back with the class.

Any suggestions?

Treat yourself on this hump day by reading about value branching heuristics in constraint solvers in our latest issue:

"Learning and fine-tuning a generic value-selection heuristic inside a constraint programming solver",

SpringerLinkLearning and fine-tuning a generic value-selection heuristic inside a constraint programming solver - ConstraintsConstraint programming is known for being an efficient approach to solving combinatorial problems. Important design choices in a solver are the branching heuristics, designed to lead the search to the best solutions in a minimum amount of time. However, developing these heuristics is a time-consuming process that requires problem-specific expertise. This observation has motivated many efforts to use machine learning to automatically learn efficient heuristics without expert intervention. Although several generic variable-selection heuristics are available in the literature, the options for value-selection heuristics are more scarce. We propose to tackle this issue by introducing a generic learning procedure that can be used to obtain a value-selection heuristic inside a constraint programming solver. This has been achieved thanks to the combination of a deep Q-learning algorithm, a tailored reward signal, and a heterogeneous graph neural network. Experiments on graph coloring, maximum independent set, maximum cut, and minimum vertex cover problems show that this framework competes with the well-known impact-based and activity-based search heuristics and can find solutions close to optimality without requiring a large number of backtracks. Additionally, we observe that fine-tuning a model with a different problem class can accelerate the learning process.
