Abstract:
How to develop Artificial Intelligence Systems using Cognitive Computing, Deep Learning and Machine Learning Fusion
Akash Singh, PhD
My talk will focus on mathematical, codebase, theoretical and algorithmic ideas in deep machine learning and AI, and their origin in problems of Industries. Much of my talk will focus on unsupervised cognitive learning methods in machine learning and the critical role of fusion and interaction for learning in data science.
I will highlight the tremendous impact retail engineering has had in identifying key learning problems and suggesting algorithmic techniques; additionally, I'll consider the remarkable tools that have been developed within AI and learning to address hard engineering problems. I'll discuss a variety of machine learning techniques of increasing sophistication from the most familiar classification problems, to structured and unstructured prediction, and to imitation learning and cognitive system behavior. I will also address how to make reinforcement learning and learning control practical in data engineering. Throughout, we will look at case studies in learning, activity forecasting of customers, and imitation learning of retail data science and predictive modelling. These case studies highlight key challenges in applying AI and learning algorithms in practical settings. I will also talk about how to leverage and extend these methods to address grand AI challenges such as the automated acquisition of common-sense knowledge, and machine reading of text. Finally I will describe how deep learning is now used by TCS for text recognition and object recognition and how it may soon be used for machine translation.
I will highlight both important developments and opportunities in which ideas from AI can have great impact on upcoming challenges within the machine learning, data science and data mining communities.
