  • Vikas Sindhwani Google May 17-19, 2016 2016 Summer School on Signal Processing and Machine Learning for Big Data
    Real-time Learning and Inference on Emerging Mobile Systems Vikas Sindhwani Google May 17-19, 2016 2016 Summer School on Signal Processing and Machine Learning for Big Data Abstract: We are motivated by the challenge of enabling real-time "always-on" machine learning applications on emerging mobile platforms such as next-generation smartphones, wearable computers and consumer robotics systems. On-device models in such settings need to be highly compact, and need to support fast, low-power inference on specialized hardware. I will consider the problem of building small-footprint non- linear models based on kernel methods and deep learning techniques, for on-device deployments. Towards this end, I will give an overview of various techniques, and introduce new notions of parsimony rooted in the theory of structured matrices. Such structured matrices can be used to recycle Gaussian random vectors in order to build randomized feature maps in sub-linear time for approximating various kernel functions. In the deep learning context, low-displacement structured parameter matrices admit fast function and gradient evaluation. I will discuss how such compact nonlinear transforms span a rich range of parameter sharing configurations whose statistical modeling capacity can be explicitly tuned along a continuum from structured to unstructured. I will present empirical results on mobile speech recognition problems, and image classification tasks. I will also briefly present some basics of TensorFlow: a open-source library for numerical computations on data flow graphs. Tensorflow enables large-scale distributed training of complex machine learning models, and their rapid deployment on mobile devices. Bio: Vikas Sindhwani is Research Scientist in the Google Brain team in New York City.

  • Google's 'Project Nightingale' Gathers Personal Health Data
    Google's 'Project Nightingale' Gathers Personal Health Data on Millions of Americans; Search giant is amassing health records from Ascension facilities in 21 states; patients not yet informed Copeland, Rob . Wall Street Journal (Online) ; New York, N.Y. [New York, N.Y]11 Nov 2019. ProQuest document link FULL TEXT Google is engaged with one of the U.S.'s largest health-care systems on a project to collect and crunch the detailed personal-health information of millions of people across 21 states. The initiative, code-named "Project Nightingale," appears to be the biggest effort yet by a Silicon Valley giant to gain a toehold in the health-care industry through the handling of patients' medical data. Amazon.com Inc., Apple Inc. and Microsoft Corp. are also aggressively pushing into health care, though they haven't yet struck deals of this scope. Share Your Thoughts Do you trust Google with your personal health data? Why or why not? Join the conversation below. Google began Project Nightingale in secret last year with St. Louis-based Ascension, a Catholic chain of 2,600 hospitals, doctors' offices and other facilities, with the data sharing accelerating since summer, according to internal documents. The data involved in the initiative encompasses lab results, doctor diagnoses and hospitalization records, among other categories, and amounts to a complete health history, including patient names and dates of birth. Neither patients nor doctors have been notified. At least 150 Google employees already have access to much of the data on tens of millions of patients, according to a person familiar with the matter and the documents.

  • Deep Learning on Mobile Devices – a Review
    Deep Learning on Mobile Devices – A Review Yunbin Deng FAST Labs, BAE Systems, Inc. Burlington MA 01803 ABSTRACT Recent breakthroughs in deep learning and artificial intelligence technologies have enabled numerous mobile applications. While traditional computation paradigms rely on mobile sensing and cloud computing, deep learning implemented on mobile devices provides several advantages. These advantages include low communication bandwidth, small cloud computing resource cost, quick response time, and improved data privacy. Research and development of deep learning on mobile and embedded devices has recently attracted much attention. This paper provides a timely review of this fast-paced field to give the researcher, engineer, practitioner, and graduate student a quick grasp on the recent advancements of deep learning on mobile devices. In this paper, we discuss hardware architectures for mobile deep learning, including Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA), Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), and recent mobile Graphic Processing Units (GPUs). We present Size, Weight, Area and Power (SWAP) considerations and their relation to algorithm optimizations, such as quantization, pruning, compression, and approximations that simplify computation while retaining performance accuracy. We cover existing systems and give a state-of-the-industry review of TensorFlow, MXNet, Mobile AI Compute Engine (MACE), and Paddle-mobile deep learning platform. We discuss resources for mobile deep learning practitioners, including tools, libraries, models, and performance benchmarks. We present applications of various mobile sensing modalities to industries, ranging from robotics, healthcare and multi- media, biometrics to autonomous drive and defense. We address the key deep learning challenges to overcome, including low quality data, and small training/adaptation data sets.

Natis, Isabelle Durand, Ray Valdes, Bettina Tratz-Ryan, Roberta Cozza, Daniel O'Connell, Lydia Leong, Jeffrey Mann, Andrew Frank, Brian Blau, Chris Silva, Mark Hung, Adam Woodyer, Matthew W. Cain, Steve Riley, Martin Reynolds, Whit Andrews, Alexander Linden, David Yockelson, Joe Mariano Google's size, market differentiation, rapid pace of innovation and ambitions can complicate fully understanding the vendor and its fit to current digital business needs. CIOs and IT leaders can use this report to explore in detail selected topics from the Gartner Vendor Rating. Key Findings ■ Two outcomes are apparent more than a year after the creation of the Alphabet-Google structure: Google is beginning to show increased momentum and has made significant investments in its enterprise offerings (most of its 2016 acquisitions were focused on this); and it is applying more discipline in Alphabet's "Other Bets." ■ Google is flourishing despite challenging external market factors: adverse publicity, competitors, government regulators and law enforcement. ■ Google values data, encourages bold investments in long-term horizons, pivots plans based on results in near real time, and reveres user-oriented engineering excellence. ■ Google is fully committed to 100% cloud-based and web-scale infrastructure, massive scaling, the maximum rate of change, and stream-lined business processes for itself and its customers. Recommendations CIOs and IT leaders managing vendor risk and performance should: ■ Plan for a long-term strategic relationship with Google based on an assumption that "what you see is what you get." Major vendor changes to core culture and fundamental operating principles in response to customer requests usually come slowly, if at all.

  • Youtube's Recommendation System and the 2019 Canadian Federal
    UP NEXT: YouTube’s Recommendation System and the 2019 Canadian Federal Election by Daniel Cockcroft A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degrees of Master of Arts and Master of Library and Information Studies Digital Humanities and School of Library and Information Studies University of Alberta © Daniel Cockcroft, 2020 ABSTRACT In the months leading up to the 2016 election in the United States, YouTube’s recommendation algorithm decidedly favored pro-Trump videos, fake news and conspiracy theories. In this thesis, I question whether such bias is present in the context of the 2019 federal election in Canada. To do so, I make use of open-source software to gather recommendation data related to three of the candidates: Conservative Party of Canada leader Andrew Scheer, New Democratic Party leader Jagmeet Singh, and Liberal Party of Canada leader Justin Trudeau. Using the same data, I will also study the media bias and factual accuracy of the sources recommended. My results show that YouTube’s recommender system is susceptible to influence by audiences and shows bias towards Andrew Scheer and against Justin Trudeau. Given my results and evidence provided by other researchers, this study stresses the need for ethical algorithm design, including proactive approaches for increased transparency, regulatory oversight, and increased public awareness. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to extend a big thank you to my supervisory committee, Tami, Astrid, and Harvey for keeping me inspired and asking the right questions. Your countless hours of work have not gone unnoticed, and through your efforts you’ve made me a better researcher and writer.
