The document discusses the back propagation learning algorithm. It can be slow to train networks with many layers as error signals get smaller with each layer. Momentum and higher-order techniques can speed up learning. Examples are given of applying back propagation to tasks like speech recognition, encoding/decoding patterns, and handwritten digit recognition. While popular, back propagation has limitations like potential local minima issues and lack of biological plausibility in its error backpropagation process.

Improving Performance of Back propagation Learning Algorithmijsrd.com
The standard back-propagation algorithm is one of the most widely used algorithm for training feed-forward neural networks. One major drawback of this algorithm is it might fall into local minima and slow convergence rate. Natural gradient descent is principal method for solving nonlinear function is presented and is combined with the modified back-propagation algorithm yielding a new fast training multilayer algorithm. This paper describes new approach to natural gradient learning in which the number of parameters necessary is much smaller than the natural gradient algorithm. This new method exploits the algebraic structure of the parameter space to reduce the space and time complexity of algorithm and improve its performance.
Contains description of CPN.
CP algorithm consists of a input, hidden and output layer.
In this case the hidden layer is called the Kohonen layer & the output layer is called the Grossberg layer.

Scalable Data Science and Deep Learning with H2O
In this session, we introduce the H2O data science platform. We will explain its scalable in-memory architecture and design principles and focus on the implementation of distributed deep learning in H2O. Advanced features such as adaptive learning rates, various forms of regularization, automatic data transformations, checkpointing, grid-search, cross-validation and auto-tuning turn multi-layer neural networks of the past into powerful, easy-to-use predictive analytics tools accessible to everyone. We will present a broad range of use cases and live demos that include world-record deep learning models, anomaly detection tools and approaches for Kaggle data science competitions. We also demonstrate the applicability of H2O in enterprise environments for real-world customer production use cases.
By the end of the hands-on-session, attendees will have learned to perform end-to-end data science workflows with H2O using both the easy-to-use web interface and the flexible R interface. We will cover data ingest, basic feature engineering, feature selection, hyperparameter optimization with N-fold cross-validation, multi-model scoring and taking models into production. We will train supervised and unsupervised methods on realistic datasets. With best-of-breed machine learning algorithms such as elastic net, random forest, gradient boosting and deep learning, you will be able to create your own smart applications.
A local installation of RStudio is recommended for this session.

Online learning, Vowpal Wabbit and Hadoop
Online learning has recently caught a lot of attention, following some competitions, and especially after Criteo released 11GB for the training set of a Kaggle contest.
Online learning allows to process massive data as the learner processes data in a sequential way using up a low amount of memory and limited CPU ressources. It is also particularly suited for handling time-evolving date.
Vowpal Wabbit has become quite popular: it is a handy, light and efficient command line tool allowing to do online learning on GB of data, even on a standard laptop with standard memory. After a reminder of the online learning principles, we present how to run Vowpal Wabbit on Hadoop in a distributed fashion.

Recurrent Neural Networks hold great promise as general sequence learning algorithms. As such, they are a very promising tool for text analysis. However, outside of very specific use cases such as handwriting recognition and recently, machine translation, they have not seen wide spread use. Why has this been the case?
In this presentation, we will first introduce RNNs as a concept. Then we will sketch how to implement them and cover the tricks necessary to make them work well. With the basics covered, we will investigate using RNNs as general text classification and regression models, examining where they succeed and where they fail compared to more traditional text analysis models. A straightforward open-source Python and Theano library for training RNNs with a scikit-learn style interface will be introduced and we’ll see how to use it through a tutorial on a real world text dataset

Deep learning technologies are at the core of the current revolution in artificial intelligence for multimedia data analysis. The convergence of large-scale annotated datasets and affordable GPU hardware has allowed the training of neural networks for data analysis tasks which were previously addressed with hand-crafted features. Architectures such as convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks or Q-nets for reinforcement learning have shaped a brand new scenario in signal processing. This course will cover the basic principles of deep learning from both an algorithmic and computational perspectives.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

However, generally local minima do not tend to be a

The more layers the slower learning becomes:
¡
¡Û Ý Ø ßÞ ´½ Ý µ Ú

Æ
¡Ù Æ Û Ú ´½ Ú µ Ü
ßÞ

.
Each error term Æ modifies the previous by a Ý ´½ Ý µ like
term.
Since Ý is a sigmoidal function (¼ Ý ½), then
¼ Ý´½ ݵ ¼ ¾
The more layers, the smaller the effective errors get, the
slower the network learns.

4. Speeding up Learning
A simple method to speeding up the learning is to add a
momentum term.
¡Û ´Ø · ½µ Û · « ¡Û ´Øµ
where ¼ « ½.
Each weight is given some “inertia” or “momentum” so
it tends to change in the direction of its average.
When weight change is same every iteration (e.g. when
travelling over plateau):
¡Û ´Ø · ½µ ¡Û ´Øµ
´½ «µ¡Û ´Ø · ½µ Û
¡Û ´Ø · ½µ ½ « Û
So, if « ¼ , effective learning rate is ½¼ .
Higher-order techniques (e.g. conjugate gradient) faster.

12. Handling temporal sequences
“Spatialise” time (e.g. NetTalk)
Add context units with fixed connections; some trace
over time.
Standard b.p. can be used in these cases.
(fig 7.5 of HKP)
For fully recurrent networks, b.p. extended to Real-
Time Recurrent Learning (Williams & Zipser, 1989).

13. Summary
Back propagation is popular training method.
Hidden units find useful internal representations.
Extendable to temporal sequences.
Problems: can be slow, no convergence theorem. Need
to try different architectures (#layers) , learning rates.
Biological plausibility?
1. Who provides the targets?
2. Can signals (errors) backpropagate from one cell
to another?
