Certainly, not learning would only allow the perfect being to show intelligent behavior. All others, be it humans or machines, need to learn in order to enhance their capabilities. In the eighties of the last century, learning from examples and modeling human learning strategies have been investigated in concert. The formal statistical basis of many learning methods has been put forward later on and is still an integral part of machine learning. Neural networks have always been in the toolbox of methods. Integrating all the pre-processing, exploitation of kernel functions, and transformation steps of a machine learning process into the architecture of a deep neural network increased the performance of this model type considerably. Modern machine learning is challenged on the one hand by the amount of data and on the other hand by the demand of real-time inference. This leads to an interest in computing architectures and modern processors. For a long time, the machine learning research could take the von-Neumann architecture for granted. All algorithms were designed for the classical CPU. Issues of implementation on a particular architecture have been ignored. This is no longer possible. The time for independently investigating machine learning and computational architecture is over. Computing architecture has experienced a similarly rampant development from mainframe or personal computers in the last century to now very large compute clusters on the one hand and ubiquitous computing of embedded systems in the Internet of Things on the other hand. Cyber-physical systems’ sensors produce a huge amount of streaming data which need to be stored and analyzed. Their actuators need to react in real-time. This clearly establishes a close connection with machine learning. Cyber-physical systems and systems in the Internet of Things consist of diverse components, heterogeneous both in hard- and software. Modern multi-core systems, graphic processors, memory technologies and hardware-software codesign offer opportunities for better implementations of machine learning models. Machine learning and embedded systems together now form a field of research which tackles leading edge problems in machine learning, algorithm engineering, and embedded systems. Machine learning today needs to make the resource demands of learning and inference meet the resource constraints of used computer architecture and platforms. A large variety of algorithms for the same learning method and, moreover, diverse implementations of an algorithm for particular computing architectures optimize learning with respect to resource efficiency while keeping some guarantees of accuracy. The trade-off between a decreased energy consumption and an increased error rate, to just give an example, needs to be theoretically shown for training a model and the model inference. Pruning and quantization are ways of reducing the resource requirements by either compressing or approximating the model. In addition to memory and energy consumption, timeliness is an important issue, since many embedded systems are integrated into large products that interact with the physical world. If the results are delivered too late, they may have become useless. As a result, real-time guarantees are needed for such systems. To efficiently utilize the available resources, e.g., processing power, memory, and accelerators, with respect to response time, energy consumption, and power dissipation, different scheduling algorithms and resource management strategies need to be developed. This book series addresses machine learning under resource constraints as well as the application of the described methods in various domains of science and engineering. Turning big data into smart data requires many steps of data analysis: methods for extracting and selecting features, filtering and cleaning the data, joining heterogeneous sources, aggregating the data, and learning predictions need to scale up. The algorithms are challenged on the one hand by high-throughput data, gigantic data sets like in astrophysics, on the other hand by high dimensions like in genetic data. Resource constraints are given by the relation between the demands for processing the data and the capacity of the computing machinery. The resources are runtime, memory, communication, and energy. Novel machine learning algorithms are optimized with regard to minimal resource consumption. Moreover, learned predictions are applied to program executions in order to save resources. The three books will have the following subtopics: Volume 1: Machine Learning under Resource Constraints - Fundamentals Volume 2: Machine Learning and Physics under Resource Constraints - Discovery Volume 3: Machine Learning under Resource Constraints - Applications Volume 1 establishes the foundations of this new field (Machine Learning under Resource Constraints). It goes through all the steps from data collection, their summary and clustering, to the different aspects of resource-aware learning, i.e., hardware, memory, energy, and communication awareness. Several machine learning methods are inspected with respect to their resource requirements and how to enhance their scalability on diverse computing architectures ranging from embedded systems to large computing clusters.

Their instruments, e.g., particle accelerators or telescopes, gather petabytes of data. Here, machine learning is necessary not only to process the vast amounts of data and to detect the relevant examples efficiently, but also as part of the knowledge discovery process itself. The physical knowledge is encoded in simulations that are used to train the machine learning models. At the same time, the interpretation of the learned models serves to expand the physical knowledge. This results in a cycle of theory enhancement supported by machine learning.

Book excerpt: Machine Learning: A Constraint-Based Approach, Second Edition provides readers with a refreshing look at the basic models and algorithms of machine learning, with an emphasis on current topics of interest that include neural networks and kernel machines. The book presents the information in a truly unified manner that is based on the notion of learning from environmental constraints. It draws a path towards deep integration with machine learning that relies on the idea of adopting multivalued logic formalisms, such as in fuzzy systems. Special attention is given to deep learning, which nicely fits the constrained-based approach followed in this book.The book presents a simpler unified notion of regularization, which is strictly connected with the parsimony principle, including many solved exercises that are classified according to the Donald Knuth ranking of difficulty, which essentially consists of a mix of warm-up exercises that lead to deeper research problems. A software simulator is also included. - Presents, in a unified manner, fundamental machine learning concepts, such as neural networks and kernel machines - Provides in-depth coverage of unsupervised and semi-supervised learning, with new content in hot growth areas such as deep learning - Includes a software simulator for kernel machines and learning from constraints that also covers exercises to facilitate learning - Contains hundreds of solved examples and exercises chosen particularly for their progression of difficulty from simple to complex - Supported by a free, downloadable companion book designed to facilitate students' acquisition of experimental skills

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Machine learning applications in fields where data is sensitive, such as healthcare and banking, face challenges due to the need to protect the privacy of participating users. Tools developed in the past decades that aim to address this challenge include differential privacy and federated learning. Yet maintaining performance while protecting sensitive data poses a trilemma between accuracy, privacy, and efficiency. In this thesis, we aim to address these fundamental challenges and take a step towards enabling machine learning under privacy and resource constraints. On the differential privacy front, we develop in Chapter 2 an algorithm that addresses efficiency and accuracy of differentially private empirical risk minimization. We provide a dimension independent excess risk bound and show the algorithm converges to this excess risk bound at the same rate as AdaGrad. In Chapter 3 we introduce an algorithm for differentially private Top-k selection, a problem that often arises as a building block of large-scale data analysis tasks like NLP and recommender systems. The algorithm samples from a distribution with exponentially large support only in polynomial time and space, and improves existing pure differential privacy methods. On the federated learning front, locality of data imposes various system design challenges due to resource constraints. In Chapter 4, we propose federated and differentially private algorithms for matrix factorization tasks that arise when training recommender systems in the settings where data is distributed across different silos (e.g., hospitals or banks). Chapter 5 introduces a client selection strategy that reduces communication in federated learning while maintaining accuracy of the model. Finally, in Chapter 6 we conclude by presenting F3AST, a novel algorithm that addresses user intermittency in federated learning under an unknown and time varying system configuration

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Is Expert System In the field of artificial intelligence, an expert system is a type of computer program that simulates the abilities of a human expert to make judgment calls. Instead of using typical procedural code, expert systems reason through bodies of knowledge, which are primarily represented as if-then rules. This is in contrast to traditional computer programs, which tackle complicated issues by writing procedural code. In the 1970s, the first expert systems were developed, and later in the 1980s, their use became more widespread. Expert systems were one of the earliest forms of artificial intelligence (AI) software that was actually successful. An expert system can be broken down into its two component subsystems, which are the knowledge base and the inference engine. The knowledge base is a collection of facts and guidelines. The inference engine takes the rules and applies them to the known data in order to derive new information. The capabilities of explanation and debugging are also sometimes included in inference engines. How You Will Benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Expert system Chapter 2: Learning classifier system Chapter 3: AI winter Chapter 4: Constraint logic programming Chapter 5: Constraint satisfaction Chapter 6: CLIPS Chapter 7: Mycin Chapter 8: Knowledge engineering Chapter 9: Rule-based machine learning Chapter 10: CADUCEUS (expert system) (II) Answering the public top questions about expert system.

This book was released on 2022-03-02 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FUNDAMENTALS AND METHODS OF MACHINE AND DEEP LEARNING The book provides a practical approach by explaining the concepts of machine learning and deep learning algorithms, evaluation of methodology advances, and algorithm demonstrations with applications. Over the past two decades, the field of machine learning and its subfield deep learning have played a main role in software applications development. Also, in recent research studies, they are regarded as one of the disruptive technologies that will transform our future life, business, and the global economy. The recent explosion of digital data in a wide variety of domains, including science, engineering, Internet of Things, biomedical, healthcare, and many business sectors, has declared the era of big data, which cannot be analysed by classical statistics but by the more modern, robust machine learning and deep learning techniques. Since machine learning learns from data rather than by programming hard-coded decision rules, an attempt is being made to use machine learning to make computers that are able to solve problems like human experts in the field. The goal of this book is to present a??practical approach by explaining the concepts of machine learning and deep learning algorithms with applications. Supervised machine learning algorithms, ensemble machine learning algorithms, feature selection, deep learning techniques, and their applications are discussed. Also included in the eighteen chapters is unique information which provides a clear understanding of concepts by using algorithms and case studies illustrated with applications of machine learning and deep learning in different domains, including disease prediction, software defect prediction, online television analysis, medical image processing, etc. Each of the chapters briefly described below provides both a chosen approach and its implementation. Audience Researchers and engineers in artificial intelligence, computer scientists as well as software developers.
