10 Must-read AI Papers

10 Must-read AI Papers | The Future of Artificial Intelligence | Scoop.it
From AlexNet to GPT-3, we curate a list of 10 papers that mark significant research advancements in machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, NLP, and reinforcement learning over the past 10 years. Author presentation and detailed paper reviews are also included. (Authored by Crossminds in Research Spotlights)
Juliette Decugis's insight:
Good resource to understand the 10 most cited AI papers (includes paper abstracts and descriptive videos, as well as links to the full papers).

As part of the UC Berkeley AI Research lab, almost every research paper I've encountered for the past 3 years relies on these 10 publications. Papers focused on improving the computational costs of NN use Transformers, AlexNet, GPT-3 and/or BERT as baseline models depending on the task. Most robustness papers rely on the methods developed by Goodfellow et al. in their GANs paper. 
Beyond research, all tech companies I've worked at derive their own deep learning models based on ensembles or specific applications of these models.

Enhancing Backpropagation via Local Loss Optimization

Enhancing Backpropagation via Local Loss Optimization | The Future of Artificial Intelligence | Scoop.it

"Posted by Ehsan Amid, Research Scientist, and Rohan Anil, Principal Engineer, Google Research, Brain Team"

Juliette Decugis's insight:
Many recent ML papers hope to address the overwhelming problem of deep learning models: their computational and memory cost. Whereas lots of recent work has focused on the sparsification of said models, LocoProp attempts to rethink backpropagation - the most expensive step of neural network training.

LocoProp decomposes a model's objective function into a layer-wise loss, comparing a layer's output and the overall bath's final output, accompanied by a regularizer term (L2 loss). Breaking down the loss function across layers permits parallelization of training, smaller order calculations and more flexibility. Furthermore, the paper demonstrates that "the overall behavior of the combined updates closely resembles higher-order updates."

Potential limits of the paper: "small" networks used, "still remains to be seen how well the method generally works across tasks."

How to Forecast Time Series Data Using Deep Learning | by Michael Berk | Towards Data Science

How to Forecast Time Series Data Using Deep Learning | by Michael Berk | Towards Data Science | The Future of Artificial Intelligence | Scoop.it
In 2019, Amazon’s research team developed a deep learning method called DeepAR that exhibits a ~15% accuracy boost relative to state-of-the-art TS forecasting models. It’s robust out-of-the-box and…
Juliette Decugis's insight:
Amazon's DeepAR network combines traditional auto-regressive forecasting methods based on a time series' attributes (trend, seasonality...) and RNN. The model learns jointly from multiple related time series even with high differences in series' magnitudes.

A deep learning system for differential diagnosis of skin diseases

A deep learning system for differential diagnosis of skin diseases | The Future of Artificial Intelligence | Scoop.it

Skin conditions affect 1.9 billion people. Because of a shortage of dermatologists, most cases are seen instead by general practitioners with lower diagnostic accuracy. We present a deep learning system (DLS) to provide a differential diagnosis of skin conditions using 16,114 de-identified cases (photographs and clinical data) from a teledermatology practice serving 17 sites. [...] Our DLS can potentially augment the current clinical workflow in a primary-care setting in several ways. 

Juliette Decugis's insight:
Using the Tensorflow framework, Yuan Liu and Ayush Jain's team reached new steps in medical deep learning.

Their deep learning system not only categorizes skin conditions as benign or malignant, it successfully identifies 1 out of 26 skin conditions and provides a complete diagnosis for each patient. Its results compare to those of a dermatologist. 

How can we explain this success?

The DLS relies on multiple images per case as well as metadata (+4% accuracy observed) to make predictions. Furthermore, the system makes two level predictions based on the rarity of skin conditions. It's innovative in its data utility as well as system architecture.

Geoffrey Hinton, the godfather of deep learning. | The Future of Artificial Intelligence | Scoop.it
"I think we should think of AI as the intellectual equivalent of a backhoe. It will be much better than us at a lot of things" Artificial intelligence is a booming industry in 2019 with lots of new technological advancements.
Juliette Decugis's insight:
It blows my mind to think the most widely used deep learning models were developed a little less than 40 years ago. Transformers (2017) do seem to be missing on the deep learning timeline...

Also the article highlights Geoffrey Hinton's main contributions to AI: back-propagation (essential to efficiently train NN), Boltzmann machines and dropout (regularization method still widely used today).

[1803.01442] Stochastic Activation Pruning for Robust Adversarial Defense

"we propose Stochastic Activation Pruning (SAP), a mixed strategy for adversarial defense. SAP prunes a random subset of activations (preferentially pruning those with smaller magnitude) and scales up the survivors to compensate. [...] Experiments demonstrate that SAP confers robustness against attacks, increasing accuracy and preserving calibration..

Juliette Decugis's insight:
SAP uses a minimax zero-sum game from game theory between adversary and model to increase robustness. The activation maps are converted to a multinomial distribution and sampled during each forward pass based on their magnitudes. The model defines one adversary, meant to perturb the model, and one defender, meant to adapt the model's parameters based on the perturbations.
Unique advanatages: no retraining or fine tuning
