Recent AI, Big Data and Machine Learning Info Digest 2017/07/26


Deep Reinforcement Learning: An Overview (by Yuxi Li, version 3, July 15, 2017)
We give an overview of recent exciting achievements of deep reinforcement learning (RL). We discuss six core elements, six important mechanisms, and twelve applications. We start with background of machine learning, deep learning and reinforcement learning. Next we discuss core RL elements, including value function, in particular, Deep Q-Network (DQN), policy, reward, model, planning, and exploration. After that, we discuss important mechanisms for RL, including attention and memory, in particular, differentiable neural computer (DNC), unsupervised learning, transfer learning, semi-supervised learning, hierarchical RL, and learning to learn. Then we discuss various applications of RL, including games, in particular, AlphaGo, robotics, natural language processing, including dialogue systems (a.k.a. chatbots), machine translation, and text generation, computer vision, neural architecture design, business management, finance, healthcare, Industry 4.0, smart grid, intelligent transportation systems, and computer systems. We mention topics not reviewed yet. After listing a collection of RL resources, we present a brief summary, and close with discussions.

ImageNet Object Localization Challenge
This year, Kaggle is thrilled to be the official host of all three ImageNet Challenges for the first time including the other two competitions:
Object Detection Challenge
Object Detection from Video Challenge

Deep Learning for NLP Best Practices
This post is a collection of best practices for using neural networks in Natural Language Processing. It will be updated periodically as new insights become available and in order to keep track of our evolving understanding of Deep Learning for NLP.

In this tutorial, we will use an Apache Zeppelin notebook for our development environment to keep things simple and elegant. 

This is Part 1 of 3 in a series of posts that looks at the landscape of the artificial intelligence industry and the companies and institutes developing products that are moving the needle of knowledge of machine intelligence and consciousness forward for humanity.

This list contains companies working on artificial intelligence and machine learning products primarily for business use, non-specific to any industry. Industry specific AI will be the final part of this series.
