Developmental Machine Learning, Curiosity and Deep Reinforcement Learning
IEEE France Section's Life Members Affinity Group and French Chapter on Computational Intelligence IEEE is happy to invite you to join the lecture by Pierre-Yves Oudeyer.
Date and time: 2 March at 5:00PM
Venue: https://zoom.us/j/91578786916?pwd=NGxONkt0NUw5WWxRT2dBMFpxbXRhUT09
Abstract: Current approaches to AI and machine learning are still fundamentally limited in comparison with autonomous learning capabilities of children. What is remarkable is not that some children become world champions in certains games or specialties: it is rather their autonomy, flexibility and efficiency at learning many everyday skills under strongly limited resources of time, computation and energy. And they do not need the intervention of an engineer for each new task (e.g. they do not need someone to provide a new task specific reward function).
I will present a research program (Kaplan and Oudeyer, 2004; Oudeyer et al., 2007; Gottlieb and Oudeyer, 2019) that has focused on computational modeling of child development and learning mechanisms in the last decade. I will discuss several developmental forces that guide exploration in large real world spaces, starting from the perspective of how algorithmic models can help us understand better how they work in humans, and in return how this opens new approaches to autonomous machine learning.
In particular, I will discuss models of curiosity-driven autonomous learning, enabling machines to sample and explore their own goals and their own learning strategies, self-organizing a learning curriculum without any external reward or supervision. I will introduce the Intrinsically Motivated Goal Exploration Processes (IMGEPs-) algorithmic framework, and present two families of IMGEPs: population-based IMGEPs (Baranes and Oudeyer, 2013; Forestie et al.,2017) with learned goal spaces (Pere et al., 2018), which have allowed sample efficient learning learning of skill repertoires in real robots, and goal-conditioned Deep RL-based IMGEPs, which enable strong generalization properties when they are modular (Colas et al., 2019), in particular when leveraging the compositionality of language to imagine goals in curiosity-driven exploration (Colas et al., 2020).
Bio: Dr. Pierre-Yves Oudeyer is Research Director (DR1) at Inria and head of the Inria and Ensta-ParisTech FLOWERS team (France). Before, he has been a permanent researcher in Sony Computer Science Laboratory for 8 years (1999-2007). He studied theoretical computer science at Ecole Normale Supérieure in Lyon, and received his Ph.D. degree in artificial intelligence from the University Paris VI, France. He has been studying lifelong autonomous learning, and the self-organization of behavioural, cognitive and cultural structures, at the frontiers of artificial intelligence, machine learning, cognitive sciences and educational technologies. He has been developing models of intrinsically motivated learning, pioneering curiosity-driven learning algorithms working in real world robots, and developed theoretical frameworks to understand better human curiosity and autonomous learning. He also studied mechanisms enabling machines and humans to discover, invent, learn and evolve communication systems. He has published two books, more than 100 papers in international journals and conferences, holds 8 patents, gave several invited keynote lectures in international conferences, and received several prizes for his work in developmental robotics and on the origins of language. In particular, he is laureate of the Inria-National Academy of Science young researcher prize in computer sciences, and of an ERC Starting Grant EXPLORERS. He is also editor of IEEE CIS Newsletter on Cognitive and Developmental Systems where he organizes interdisciplinary dialogs in cognitive science, AI and robotics, as well as associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems and Frontiers in Neurorobotics.

Date and time: 19 November at 9:00AM
Abstract: Recent advancement of image understanding with deep learning neural networks has brought great attraction to those in image analysis into the focus of deep learning networks. While researchers on video/image analysis have jumped on the bandwagon of deep learning networks, medical image analyzers would be the coming followers. The characteristics of medical images are extremely different from those of photos and video images. The application of medical image analysis is also much more critical. For achieving the best effectiveness and feasibility of medical image analysis with deep learning approaches, several issues have to be considered. In this talk we will give a brief overview of the development of neural networks for medical image analysis in the past and the future trends with deep learning. Several issues in regard of the data preparation, techniques, and clinic applications will also be discussed.

The French Chapter on Computational Intelligence IEEE is happy to invite you to two events organised duting Prof. Dr. Rudolf Kruse's visit, subsidised under the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society Distinguished Lecturer Program and the IEEE France:
1. A lecture called « Decomposable Models: On Learning, Fusion and Revision » on March the 7th 2019 at 10h30
The lecture is open to all, see the abstract and biography below.
2. A masterclass named « Intelligent systems » with Prof. Dr. Rudolf Kruse, on March the 8th 2019 at 10h00
The event is open to all. PhD candidates can present their work, for 15 minutes, before the chat begins. All interested parties can make themselves known to Adrian Revault d'Allonnes (ara@up8.edu) before March the 7th 2019, noon.
The events will take place at: LIP6, room 105 (1st floor), corridor 25-26, 4 place Jussieu, 75005 Paris.
Abstract: Decomposable Graphical Models are of high relevance for complex industrial applications. The Markov network approach is one of their most prominent representatives and an important tool to decompose uncertain knowledge in high dimensional domains. But also relational and possibilistic decompositions turn out to be useful to make reasoning in such domains feasible. Compared to conditioning a decomposable model on given evidence, the learning of the structure of the model from data as well as the fusion of several decomposable models is much more complicated. The important belief change operation revision has been almost entirely disregarded in the past, although the problem of inconsistencies is of utmost relevance for real world applications. In this talk these problems are addressed by presenting several successful complex industrial applications.

The Computational Intelligence Chapter of IEEE France Section and the DAPA department of the LIP6 are proud to invite you to the following talk:
« Big Data Analytics using Deep Learning and Information Theoretical Learning: Applications to Astronomy »
given by Professeur Pablo A. Estévez, Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Chile, and Millennium Institute of Astrophysics, Chile, IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (2016-2017) President.
Date and time: 4 July 2017 at 10h
Venue: LIP6, salle 105 (1st floor), 25-26 corridor
4 place Jussieu, 75005 Paris.
Abstract: Astronomy is facing a paradigm shift caused by the exponential growth of the sample size, data complexity and data generation rates of new sky surveys. To cope with a change of paradigm to data-driven science new computational intelligence, machine learning and statistical approaches are needed. In this talk I will present two main applications. The first is to discriminate periodic versus non-periodic light curves, and then estimate the period of the periodic ones. Light curves are one-dimensional time series of the brightness of a star versus time. We have developed several methods based on the correntropy function (generalized correlation using information theoretical learning concepts), which outperforms conventional approaches. Results using 32.8 million light curves will be presented. Interestingly, some of these techniques can be applied to other problems such as sleep EEG analysis, and I will present preliminary results on this topic too.
The second application is the automated real-time transient detection in astronomical images. The aim is to achieve real-time detection of supernovae and other transients with the Dark Energy Camera. A novel transient detection pipeline was developed. We have been applying convolutional neural nets (deep learning) to discriminate between true transients and bogus transients, among other techniques, e.g non-negative matrix factorization combined with random forests. Results using 1.5 million images will be presented. The new pipeline was successfully tested online in February 2015 finding more than 100 supernovae in a few days of telescope observation.
Short bio: Pablo A. Estévez received his professional title in electrical engineering (EE) from Universidad de Chile, in 1981, and the M.Sc. and Dr.Eng. degrees from the University of Tokyo, Japan, in 1992 and 1995, respectively.

Abstract: Multi-Criteria aggregation is a pervasive problem appearing in many technological domains. During this presentation, we shall discuss some issues related to this task. One issue is the modeling of multi-criteria decision functions and a related issue is the evaluation of these decision functions in the face of uncertain information. One case we shall consider is the evaluation of the OWA operator when the satisfaction to the individual criteria is expressed via a probability distribution. We shall also consider the case of interval criteria satisfactions. We shall look at the role of fuzzy measures in the modeling process. One issue that must be dealt with is the ordering of the complex uncertain criteria satisfactions that is required to use the Choquet integral in the criteria aggregation.

Ensemble Approaches in Learning
by Xin Yao, Professor at the University of Birmingham (UK), President of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society
Venue: room 105, corridor 25-26, 4 place Jussieu, 75005 Paris
Abstract:
Designing a monolithic system for a large and complex learning task is hard. Divide-and-conquer is a common strategy in tackling such large and complex problems. Ensembles can be regarded an automatic approach towards automatic divide-and-conquer. Many ensemble methods, including boosting, bagging,
negative correlation, etc., have been used in machine learning and data mining for many years. This talk will describe three examples of ensemble methods,
i.e., multi-objective learning, online learning with concept drift, and multi-class imbalance learning. Given the important role of diversity in ensemble methods, some discussions and analyses will be given to gain a better understanding of how and when diversity may help ensemble learning.
Some materials used in the talk are based on the following papers:

algorithms,'' Journal of Mathematical Modelling and Algorithms, 5(4):417-445,
December 2006.

We are pleased to announce that, on the 28th of May 2015, Prof. Jim Keller, of the University of Missouri, USA, will give a talk entitled "Does it all add up? A study of fuzzy protoform linguistic summarization of time series", sponsored by the Computational Intelligence Society under its Distinguished Lecturer Program. The abstract for this talk is:
Producing linguistic summaries of large databases or temporal sequences of measurements is an endeavor that is receiving increased attention. These summaries can be used in a continuous monitoring situation, like eldercare, where it is important to ascertain if the current summaries represent an abnormal condition. Primarily a human, such as a care giver in the eldercare
example, is the recipient of the set of summaries describing a time range, for example, last night’s activities. However, as the number of sensors and monitored conditions grow, sorting through a fairly large number of summaries can be a burden for the person, i.e., the summaries stop being information and become yet one more pile of data. It is therefore necessary to automatically process sets of summaries to condense the data into more manageable chunks.
The first step towards automatically comparing sets of digests is to determine similarity. For fuzzy protoform based summaries, we developed a natural similarity and proved that the associated dissimilarity is a metric over the space of protoforms. Utilizing that distance measure, we defined and examined several fuzzy set methods to compute dissimilarity between sets of summaries, and most recently utilized these measures to define prototypical behavior over a large number of normal time periods.
In this talk, I will cover the definition of fuzzy protoforms, define our (dis)similarity, outline the proof that it is a metric, discuss the fuzzy aggregation methods for sets of summaries, and show how prototypes are formed and can used to detect abnormal nights. The talk will be loaded with actual examples from our eldercare research. There is much work to be done and hopefully, more questions than answers will result from the discussion.
An up to date list of our seminars can be found here and a list of coming ev\
ents is here.
