LOCKSUIT	THIS is Bayesian in General AI Discussion I didn't really grasp Bayesian but now I do. Is the below what Bayesian is? Physicians intuitively use Bayesian statistics on a daily, if not hourly, basis. Here’s why: When a patient presents with a symptom, such as chest pain, the physician considers the possible causes (etiology) of that symptom in a rank-ordered list, from most likely to least likely. This rank-ordered list is referred to as a differential diagnosis for the presenting symptom(s). https://www.aafp.org/afp/2005/11... The physician then asks a series of probing questions meant to re-rank that list of potential etiologies, such as “do you experience chest pain primarily when climbing stairs or exercising?” The answer to each successive question re-ranks and in general narrows the list of candidate etiologies. The re-ranking of diagnoses based on each successive question asked by the physician is premised on the predictive power of multiple discrete facts over the predictive power of fewer facts. Inference engines that incorporate Bayesian statistics include backwards-chaining (inferential) expert systems, and are among the examples dating back to the 1970s of the application of artificial intelligence methods to medicine.

Tyler	Using machine learning to estimate risk of cardiovascular death in Robotics News Using machine learning to estimate risk of cardiovascular death 12 September 2019, 4:50 pm Humans are inherently risk-averse: We spend our days calculating routes and routines, taking precautionary measures to avoid disease, danger, and despair. Still, our measures for controlling the inner workings of our biology can be a little more unruly. With that in mind, a team from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) came up with a new system for better predicting health outcomes: a machine learning model that can estimate, from the electrical activity of their heart, a patient’s risk of cardiovascular death. The system, called “RiskCardio,” focuses on patients who have survived an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), which refers to a range of conditions where there’s a reduction or blockage of blood to the heart. Using just the first 15 minutes of a patient's raw electrocardiogram (ECG) signal, the tool produces a score that places patients into different risk categories. RiskCardio’s high-risk patients — patients in the top quartile — were nearly seven times more likely to die of cardiovascular death when compared to the low-risk group in the bottom quartile. By comparison, patients identified as high risk by the most common existing risk metrics were only three times more likely to suffer an adverse event compared to their low-risk counterparts. "We're looking at the data problem of how we can incorporate very long time series into risk scores, and the clinical problem of how we can help doctors identify patients at high risk after an acute coronary event,” says Divya Shanmugam, lead author on a new paper about RiskCardio. “The intersection of machine learning and healthcare is replete with combinations like this — a compelling computer science problem with potential real-world impact.” Risky business Previous machine learning models have attempted to get a handle on risk by either making use of external patient information like age or weight, or using knowledge and expertise specific to the system — more broadly known as domain-specific knowledge — to help their model select different features. RiskCardio, however, uses just the patients’ raw ECG signal, with no additional information. Say a patient checks into the hospital following an ACS. After intake, a physician would first estimate the risk of cardiovascular death or heart attack using medical data and lengthy tests, and then choose a course of treatment. RiskCardio aims to improve that first step of estimating risk. To do this, the system separates a patient’s signal into sets of consecutive beats, with the idea that variability between adjacent beats is telling of downstream risk. The system was trained using data from a study of past patients. To get the model up and running, the team first separated each patient's signal into a collection of adjacent heart beats. They then assigned a label — i.e., whether or not the patient died of cardiovascular death — to each set of adjacent heartbeats. The researchers trained the model to classify each pair of adjacent heartbeats to its patient outcome: Heartbeats from patients who died were labeled “risky,” while heartbeats from patients who survived were labeled “normal.” Given a new patient, the team created a risk score by averaging the patient prediction from each set of adjacent heartbeats. Within the first 15 minutes of a patient experiencing an ACS, there was enough information to estimate whether or not they would suffer from cardiovascular death within 30, 60, 90, or 365 days. Still, calculating a risk score from just the ECG signal is no simple task. The signals are very long, and as the number of inputs to a model increase, it becomes harder to learn the relationship between those inputs. The team tested the model by producing risk scores for a set of patients. Then, they measured how much more likely a patient would suffer from cardiovascular death as a high-risk patient when compared to a set of low-risk patients. They found that in roughly 1,250 post-ACS patients, 28 would die of cardiovascular death within a year. Using the proposed risk score, 19 of those 28 patients were classified as high-risk. In the future, the team hopes to make the dataset more inclusive to account for different ages, ethnicities, and genders. They also plan to examine medical scenarios where there’s a lot of poorly labeled or unlabeled data, and evaluate how their system processes and handles that information to account for more ambiguous cases. “Machine learning is particularly good at identifying patterns, which is deeply relevant to assessing patient risk,'' says Shanmugam. “Risk scores are useful for communicating patient state, which is valuable in making efficient care decisions.” Shanmugam presented the paper at the Machine Learning for Healthcare Conference alongside PhD student Davis Blalock and MIT Professor John Guttag.

LOCKSUIT	Efficient vectors .... in General AI Discussion Ok. I got a question. Anyone with a ANN project can answer. Artificial NNs usually have say what, a million nodes/connections say. I know ANNs use vectors. I'm going to give a possible answer: all nodes are know as the same, you just spawn 500,000,000 of them. Then, the weights in between must be stored in vectors. They begin randomly initialized. Trained. The cost of storage for each connection is actually higher because there is more connections that nodes! However, they still are less!! This must be vector storage! A vector is therefore this > 0.4636 0.68879 0.35345 ..... therefore each connection is ~8 bytes, not a KB! ?

Hopefully Something	A Pleasant Mind in General AI Discussion If you can, does that mean you should? What do we really want? If you could have any kind of mind, what would it be like? Are we building AI for them, or for us? Is that a false dichotomy? We are speeding headlong down the road of quantitative progress, its better faster higher stronger with our computers. But what if the AI wakes up shouting "I can't contain myself any loooongerrr!!!" and self destructs... you know? We should look into the qualitative side of things. I was thinking about that movie title "A Beautiful Mind" and wondered if we (humans) can discern how to prioritize abilities/qualities in a personally rewarding way. Which, I think should be the top goal; to have the ability to have a nice time. I'd prefer a pleasant mind to all the alternatives, and I'm guessing the robots would too. It's like transport. If I decided to go visit New Zealand, I'd rather spend a month on a ship than 15 hours on a plane. I'm not saying fast is bad, I'm just saying we haven't yet optimized the traveling equation with appropriate technology. Same issue could arise with AI. What makes for a pleasant yet sustainable existence?

ivan.moony	Fractal Orbit in Human Computer Interaction Fractal Orbit is a project that has some connection to representing structured data on 2D screen. Data can be anything, from textbooks, over source code, over business databases, over knowledge base representation. As knowledge base is directly connected to AI, I thought this is the right place to share this project. It is about representing knowledge trees in a way that reminds me of fractals. Children nodes orbit around parent nodes, while adjusting their magnification to fit between outer and inner circle. Clicking a child node zooms in its circle together with its grandchild nodes. Clicking a central parent node zooms out, back to the grandparent circle node. It should be interesting to follow node links in and out from one tree node to another, even across indirectly connected nodes of the tree. I think it would look cool on round smart watches

Chatbots and Conversational UI Development in Books

Conversation as an interface is the best way for machines to interact with us using the universally accepted human tool that is language. Chatbots and voice user interfaces are two flavors of conversational UIs. Chatbots are real-time, data-driven answer engines that talk in natural language and are context-aware. Voice user interfaces are driven by voice and can understand and respond to users using speech. This book covers both types of conversational UIs by leveraging APIs from multiple platforms. We'll take a project-based approach to understand how these UIs are built and the best use cases for deploying them.

Build over 8 chatbots and conversational user interfaces with leading tools such as Chatfuel, Dialogflow, Microsoft Bot Framework, Twilio, Alexa Skills, and Google Actions and deploying them on channels like Facebook Messenger, Amazon Alexa and Google Home.
