Decision-making based on machine learning systems, especially when this decision-making can affect human lives, is a subject of maximum interest in the Machine Learning community. It is, therefore, necessary to equip these systems with a means of estimating uncertainty in the predictions they emit in order to help practitioners make more informed decisions. In the present work, we introduce the topic of uncertainty estimation, and we analyze the peculiarities of such estimation when applied to classification systems. We analyze different methods that have been designed to provide classification systems based on deep learning with mechanisms for measuring the uncertainty of their predictions. We will take a look at how this uncertainty can be modeled and measured using different approaches, as well as practical considerations of different applications of uncertainty. Moreover, we review some of the properties that should be borne in mind when developing such metrics. All in all, the present survey aims at providing a pragmatic overview of the estimation of uncertainty in classification systems that can be very useful for both academic research and deep learning practitioners.

In recent years, the machine learning community has witnessed rapid growth in the development of deep learning and its application. Unlike other software that can be installed through the package manager, developing machine learning systems usually need to search for the source code or start from scratch, debug and then deploy to production. It usually costs much for small companies and research institutions to run, test, evaluate, deploy and monitor machine learning system. In this paper, we proposed a machine learning package manager aiming to assist users1) find potentially useful models,2) resolve dependencies,3) deploy as HTTP service. By using the MLPM, users are enabled to easily adopt existing and well-established machine learning algorithms and libraries to their project within few steps. MLPM also allows third-party extensions to be installed, which makes the system customizable according to users’ workflow.rpose

The term, Artificial Intelligence (AI), has changed since it was first coined by John MacCarthy in 1956. AI, believed to have been created with Kurt Gödel's unprovable computational statements in 1931, is now called deep learning or machine learning. AI is defined as a computer machine with the ability to make predictions about the future and solve complex tasks, using algorithms. The AI algorithms are enhanced and become effective with big data capturing the present and the past while still necessarily reflecting human biases into models and equations. AI is also capable of making choices like humans, mirroring human reasoning. AI can help robots to efficiently repeat the same labor intensive procedures in factories and can analyze historic and present data efficiently through deep learning, natural language processing, and anomaly detection. Thus, AI covers a spectrum of augmented intelligence relating to prediction, autonomous intelligence relating to decision making, automated intelligence for labor robots, and assisted intelligence for data analysis.

After Deep Learning (DL) regained popularity recently, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Learning (ML) field is undergoing rapid growth concerning research and real-world application development. Deep Learning has generated complexities in algorithms, and researchers and users have raised concerns regarding the usability and adoptability of Deep Learning systems. These concerns, coupled with the increasing human-AI interactions, have created the emerging field that is Human-Centered Machine Learning (HCML). We present this review paper as an overview and analysis of existing work in HCML related to DL. Firstly, we collaborated with field domain experts to develop a working definition for HCML. Secondly, through a systematic literature review, we analyze and classify 162 publications that fall within HCML. Our classification is based on aspects including contribution type, application area, and focused human categories. Finally, we analyze the topology of the HCML landscape by identifying research gaps, highlighting conflicting interpretations, addressing current challenges, and presenting future HCML research opportunities.

Deep learning is a type of machine learning that trains a computer to perform human-like tasks, such as recognizing speech, identifying images or making predictions. Instead of organizing data to run through predefined equations, deep learning sets up basic parameters about the data and trains the computer to learn on its own by recognizing patterns using many layers of processing. This paper aims to illustrate some of the different deep learning algorithms and methods which can be applied to artificial intelligence analysis, as well as the opportunities provided by the application in various decision making domains.

AbstractMachine learning systems are infiltrating our lives and are beginning to become important in our education systems. This article, developed from a synthesis and analysis of previous research, examines the implications of recent developments in machine learning for human learners and learning. In this article we first compare deep learning in computers and humans to examine their similarities and differences. Deep learning is identified as a sub-set of machine learning, which is itself a component of artificial intelligence. Deep learning often depends on backwards propagation in weighted neural networks, so is non-deterministic—the system adapts and changes through practical experience or training. This adaptive behaviour predicates the need for explainability and accountability in such systems. Accountability is the reverse of explainability. Explainability flows through the system from inputs to output (decision) whereas accountability flows backwards, from a decision to the person taking responsibility for it. Both explainability and accountability should be incorporated in machine learning system design from the outset to meet social, ethical and legislative requirements. For students to be able to understand the nature of the systems that may be supporting their own learning as well as to act as responsible citizens in contemplating the ethical issues that machine learning raises, they need to understand key aspects of machine learning systems and have opportunities to adapt and create such systems. Therefore, some changes are needed to school curricula. The article concludes with recommendations about machine learning for teachers, students, policymakers, developers and researchers.

Data flow in web is becoming high and vast, extracting useful and meaningful information from the same is especially significant. The extracted information can be utilized for enhanced decision making. The information provided by the end-users is normally in the form of comments with respect to different products and services. Sentiment analysis is effectively carried out in these kinds of compact review to give away the people’s opinion of any products. This analyzed data will be efficient to improve the business strategy. In our work the collected online movie reviews are analyzed by using machine learning sentiment classification models like Random Forest, Naive Bayes, KNN and SVM. The work has been extended with CNN and hybrid CNN-SVM deep learning models to achieve higher performance. Comparing the workings of all the above classification models for sentiment analysis based upon various performance metrics is the main objective of the paper.

Deep learning has recently gained the attention of many researchers in various fields. A new and emerging machine learning technique, it is derived from a neural network algorithm capable of analysing unstructured datasets without supervision. This study compared the effectiveness of the deep learning (DL) model vs. a hybrid deep learning (HDL) model integrated with a hybrid parameterisation model in handling complex and missing medical datasets as well as their performance in increasing classification. The results showed that 1) the DL model performed better on its own, 2) DL was able to analyse complex medical datasets even with missing data values, and 3) HDL performed well as well and had faster processing times since it was integrated with a hybrid parameterisation model.
