機械学習アルゴリズムへの構造注入

概要

Standard deep-learning algorithms are based on a function-fitting approach that do not exploit any domain knowledge or constraints. This makes them unsuitable in applications that have limited data or require safety or stability guarantees, such as robotics. By infusing structure and physics into deep-learning algorithms, we can overcome these limitations. There are several ways to do this. For instance, we use tensorized neural networks to encode multidimensional data and higher-order correlations. We combine symbolic expressions with numerical data to learn a domain of functions and obtain strong generalization. We combine baseline controllers with learnt residual dynamics to improve landing of quadrotor drones. These instances demonstrate that building structure into ML algorithms can lead to significant gains.

動き出した国際AIエコシステム 〜競争と協調と進化〜

概要

We are entering the era of AI and the topic has long left the research labs and spilled into newspaper headlines and mainstream policy agendas. Startups, corporates, academia and governments position themselves in order to obtain the best talent, data and solutions in their attempt to get a competitive edge. How has AI developed differently in different ecosystems, form the US, across the pacific to China and in the rest of the world. What is the role of academia; what is the role of the government and its agencies; and what is the role of the industry leaders and the private sector. This experienced and expert panel will address this and many other questions from their different perspectives and roles and offer some amazing insight into their perception on the future of artificial intelligence.
