#ReinforcementLearning to Reduce Building Energy Consumption
#ModelPredictiveControl (MPC)
The basic #MPC concept can be summarized as follows. Suppose that we wish to control a multiple-input, multiple-output process while satisfying inequality constraints on the input and output variables. If a reasonably accurate dynamic model of the process is available, model and current measurements can be used to predict future values of the outputs. Then the appropriate changes in the input variables can be computed based on both predictions and measurements.

#StarGAN v2: Diverse Image Synthesis for Multiple Domains
A good image-to-image translation model should learn a mapping between different visual domains while satisfying the following properties: 1) diversity of generated images and 2) scalability over multiple domains. Existing methods address either of the issues, having limited diversity or multiple models for all domains. We propose StarGAN v2, a single framework that tackles both and shows significantly improved results over the baselines. Experiments on CelebA-HQ and a new animal faces dataset (AFHQ) validate our superiority in terms of visual quality, diversity, and scalability. To better assess image-to-image translation models, we release AFHQ, high-quality animal faces with large inter- and intra-domain differences. The code, pretrained models, and dataset can be found at this https URL.

How to Use Out-of-Fold Predictions in #MachineLearning
Machine learning algorithms are typically evaluated using resampling techniques such as k-fold cross-validation.
During the k-fold cross-validation process, predictions are made on test sets comprised of data not used to train the model. These predictions are referred to as out-of-fold predictions, a type of out-of-sample predictions.
Out-of-fold predictions play an important role in machine learning in both estimating the performance of a model when making predictions on new data in the future, so-called the generalization performance of the model, and in the development of ensemble models.
In this tutorial, you will discover a gentle introduction to out-of-fold predictions in machine learning.
After completing this tutorial, you will know:
*Out-of-fold predictions are a type of out-of-sample predictions made on data not used to train a model.
* Out-of-fold predictions are most commonly used to estimate the performance of a model when making predictions on unseen data.
*Out-of-fold predictions can be used to construct an ensemble model called a stacked generalization or stacking ensemble.

Understanding #TransferLearning for #Medical Imaging
As #DeepNeuralNetworks are applied to an increasingly diverse set of domains, transfer learning has emerged as a highly popular technique in developing deep learning models. In transfer learning, the neural network is trained in two stages: 1) pretraining, where the network is generally trained on a large-scale benchmark dataset representing a wide diversity of labels/categories (e.g., ImageNet); and 2) fine-tuning, where the pretrained network is further trained on the specific target task of interest, which may have fewer labeled examples than the pretraining dataset. The pretraining step helps the network learn general features that can be reused on the target task.

Simplified Action Decoder for Deep Multi-Agent #ReinforcementLearning
In recent years we have seen fast progress on a number of benchmark problems in AI, with modern methods achieving near or super human performance in Go, Poker and Dota. One common aspect of all of these challenges is that they are by design adversarial or, technically speaking, zero-sum. In contrast to these settings, success in the real world commonly requires humans to collaborate and communicate with others, in settings that are, at least partially, cooperative. In the last year, the card game Hanabi has been established as a new benchmark environment for AI to fill this gap. In particular, Hanabi is interesting to humans since it is entirely focused on theory of mind, i.e., the ability to effectively reason over the intentions, beliefs and point of view of other agents when observing their actions. Learning to be informative when observed by others is an interesting challenge for Reinforcement Learning (RL): Fundamentally, #RL requires agents to explore in order to discover good policies. However, when done naively, this randomness will inherently make their actions less informative to others during training. We present a new deep multi-agent RL method, the Simplified Action Decoder (SAD), which resolves this contradiction exploiting the centralized training phase. During training SAD allows other agents to not only observe the (exploratory) action chosen, but agents instead also observe the greedy action of their team mates. By combining this simple intuition with best practices for multi-agent learning, SAD establishes a new SOTA for learning methods for 2-5 players on the self-play part of the Hanabi challenge. Our ablations show the contributions of SAD compared with the best practice components. All of our code and trained agents are available at https://github.com/facebookresearch/Hanabi_SAD.

How to Implement #Pix2Pix #GAN Models From Scratch With #Keras
What Is the Pix2Pix GAN?
Pix2Pix is a #GenerativeAdversarialNetwork, or GAN, model designed for general purpose image-to-image translation.
The approach was presented by Phillip Isola, et al. in their 2016 paper noscriptd “Image-to-Image Translation with Conditional Adversarial Networks” and presented at CVPR in 2017.
The GAN architecture is comprised of a generator model for outputting new plausible synthetic images and a discriminator model that classifies images as real (from the dataset) or fake (generated). The discriminator model is updated directly, whereas the generator model is updated via the discriminator model. As such, the two models are trained simultaneously in an adversarial process where the generator seeks to better fool the discriminator and the discriminator seeks to better identify the counterfeit images.

#Transform-Invariant #ConvolutionalNeuralNetworks for Image #Classification and Search
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved state-of-the-art results on many visual recognition tasks. However, current CNN models still exhibit a poor ability to be invariant to spatial transformations of images. Intuitively, with sufficient layers and parameters, hierarchical combinations of convolution (matrix multiplication and non-linear activation) and pooling operations should be able to learn a robust mapping from transformed input images to transform-invariant representations. In this paper, we propose randomly transforming (rotation, scale, and translation) feature maps of CNNs during the training stage. This prevents complex dependencies of specific rotation, scale, and translation levels of training images in #CNN models. Rather, each convolutional kernel learns to detect a feature that is generally helpful for producing the transform-invariant answer given the combinatorially large variety of transform levels of its input feature maps. In this way, we do not require any extra training supervision or modification to the optimization process and training images. We show that random transformation provides significant improvements of CNNs on many benchmark tasks, including small-scale image recognition, large-scale image recognition, and image retrieval. The code is available at https://github.com/jasonustc/caffe-multigpu/tree/TICNN.

When Does Label Smoothing Help?
Rafael Müller, Simon Kornblith, Geoffrey #Hinton
The #generalization and learning speed of a multi-class neural network can often be significantly improved by using soft targets that are a weighted average of the hard targets and the uniform distribution over labels. Smoothing the labels in this way prevents the network from becoming over-confident and label smoothing has been used in many state-of-the-art models, including image classification, language translation and speech recognition. Despite its widespread use, label smoothing is still poorly understood. Here we show empirically that in addition to improving generalization, label smoothing improves model calibration which can significantly improve beam-search. However, we also observe that if a teacher network is trained with label smoothing, knowledge distillation into a student network is much less effective. To explain these observations, we visualize how label smoothing changes the representations learned by the penultimate layer of the network. We show that label smoothing encourages the representations of training examples from the same class to group in tight clusters. This results in loss of information in the logits about resemblances between instances of different classes, which is necessary for distillation, but does not hurt generalization or calibration of the model's predictions.
