Artificial intelligence is not willing to be correct
The deep learning obesity crisis
Deep learning have made dramatic improvements over the last decades. Part of this is attributed to improved methods that allowed training wider and deeper neural networks. This can also be attributed to better hardware, as well as the development of techniques to use this hardware efficiently. All of this leads to neural networks that grow exponentially in size. But is continuing down this path the best avenue for success?
How the Integrated Gradients method works?
For artificial intelligence (AI) transparency and to better shape upcoming policies, we need to better understand the AI’s output. In particular, one may want to understand the role attributed to each input. This is hard, because in neural networks input variables don’t have a single weight that could serve as a proxy for determining their importance with regard to the output. Therefore, one have to consider all the neural network’s weights, which may be all interconnected. Here is how Integrated Gradients does this.
Artificial Intelligence safety: embracing checklists
Unfortunately, human errors are bound to happen. Checklists allows one to verify that all the required actions are correctly done, and in the correct order. The military has it, the health care sector has it, professional diving has it, the aviation and space industries have it, software engineering has it. Why not artificial intelligence practitioners?
ROC and Precision-Recall curves - How do they compare?
The accuracy of a model is often criticized for not being informative enough to understand its performance trade offs. One has to turn to more powerful tools instead. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) and Precision-Recall (PR) curves are standard metrics used to measure the accuracy of binary classification models and find an appropriate decision threshold. But how do they relate to each other?
