This document provides an overview of support vector machines (SVMs) for classification problems. It discusses how SVMs find the optimal separating hyperplane that maximizes the margin between the two classes. SVMs can handle non-separable data by introducing slack variables that allow some misclassification with a penalty. The document presents SVM optimization as minimizing the norm of w subject to margin constraints, and explains how kernels can transform the data to a higher dimensional space where linear separation is possible. Examples are provided to illustrate soft-margin SVM optimization.
This document summarizes a neural architecture search technique using parameter sharing between child models. Specifically:
- It improves efficiency over traditional NAS by forcing all child models to share weights, avoiding training each from scratch to convergence. This reduces GPU hours needed for search from tens of thousands to less than 16 hours on a single GPU.
- The search is done in two stages: first a macro search over 7 hours to determine the overall structure, then a micro search over 11.5 hours to determine the operations within each cell block.
- It uses a directed acyclic graph to represent the neural network, with nodes representing local computations and edges determining information flow. The controller searches over the space of possible child models within
ML refers to systems that can learn by themselves. Systems that get smarter and smarter over time without human intervention. Deep Learning (DL) is ML but applied to large data sets.
The document discusses deep learning and convolutional neural networks. It provides details on concepts like convolution, activation maps, pooling, and the general architecture of CNNs. CNNs are made up of repeating sequences of convolutional layers and pooling layers, followed by fully connected layers at the end. Convolutional layers apply filters to input images or feature maps from previous layers to extract features. Pooling layers reduce the spatial size to make representations more manageable.
This document discusses Python documentation tools including docstrings, pydoc, IPython, doctest, and Sphinx. Docstrings provide documentation for modules, classes, and methods and can be accessed via the __doc__ attribute. Pydoc generates documentation from docstrings. IPython provides an enhanced interactive Python shell. Doctests embed examples in docstrings to test documentation. Sphinx can generate documentation from docstrings and external files in multiple formats.
The document discusses three major computer vision tasks solved using deep learning: image classification, object detection, and embeddings. Image classification involves categorizing whole images into classes. Object detection combines classification and localization to identify multiple objects within an image. Embeddings represent inputs as vectors to capture semantics and preserve similarity. Pre-trained models and large datasets are used to train systems that can then be applied to problems like medical diagnosis, quality control, and autonomous vehicles.
Large scale object recognition (AMMAI presentation)Po-Jen Lai
This document summarizes two papers on large-scale object recognition and improving the Fisher kernel method.
The first paper discusses how people can recognize tens of thousands of objects but computers have struggled with this task. It evaluates several datasets and algorithms for classifying over 10,000 image categories. The second paper revisits the Fisher vector representation and proposes normalization and spatial pyramid techniques to improve its performance for large-scale image classification. It evaluates the improved Fisher kernel on several datasets containing thousands to tens of thousands of categories.
The document discusses neural networks, generative adversarial networks, and image-to-image translation. It begins by explaining how neural networks learn through forward propagation, calculating loss, and using the loss to update weights via backpropagation. Generative adversarial networks are introduced as a game between a generator and discriminator, where the generator tries to fool the discriminator and vice versa. Image-to-image translation uses conditional GANs to translate images from one domain to another, such as maps to aerial photos.
HDDM: Hierarchical Bayesian estimation of the Drift Diffusion Modeltwiecki
HDDM is a hierarchical Bayesian model that fits drift-diffusion models to behavioral data from multiple subjects. It estimates both group-level and subject-specific parameters, leveraging information across subjects to obtain more reliable estimates. This allows modeling experimental effects like difficulty while accounting for individual differences. HDDM implements efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling in Python to estimate the full posterior distribution. It provides tools to assess model fit and visualize parameter estimates.

Social networks are not new, even though websites like Facebook and Twitter might make you want to believe they are; and trust me- I’m not talking about Myspace! Social networks are extremely interesting models for human behavior, whose study dates back to the early twentieth century.

The document summarizes three digital image processing techniques demonstrated in MATLAB:
1. Histogram equalization was used to increase contrast in an image by redistributing intensity values. This made low contrast images appear lighter.
2. Gamma correction was used to make images lighter or darker by adjusting the gamma value in the imadjust function. A gamma less than 1 lightened images, while a gamma greater than 1 darkened images.
3. Spatial filtering was performed using a filter mask to lighten images by increasing or decreasing values in the filter. This inverse of gamma correction, with higher filter values lightening images more.

Feature Engineering - Getting most out of data for predictive modelsGabriel Moreira
How should data be preprocessed for use in machine learning algorithms? How to identify the most predictive attributes of a dataset? What features can generate to improve the accuracy of a model?
Feature Engineering is the process of extracting and selecting, from raw data, features that can be used effectively in predictive models. As the quality of the features greatly influences the quality of the results, knowing the main techniques and pitfalls will help you to succeed in the use of machine learning in your projects.
In this talk, we will present methods and techniques that allow us to extract the maximum potential of the features of a dataset, increasing flexibility, simplicity and accuracy of the models. The analysis of the distribution of features and their correlations, the transformation of numeric attributes (such as scaling, normalization, log-based transformation, binning), categorical attributes (such as one-hot encoding, feature hashing, Temporal (date / time), and free-text attributes (text vectorization, topic modeling).
Python, Python, Scikit-learn, and Spark SQL examples will be presented and how to use domain knowledge and intuition to select and generate features relevant to predictive models.

The document discusses CNN Lab 256 and various labs involving image classification using ImageNet and MNIST datasets. Lab 2 focuses on image classification using ImageNet, which contains over 14 million images across 20,000 categories. The script classify_image.py is used to classify images using a pre-trained model. Retraining the model on a custom dataset is also discussed. Lab 5 involves classifying handwritten digits from the MNIST dataset using a convolutional neural network model defined in TensorFlow. The model achieves an accuracy of over 99% after training for 15,000 epochs in batches of 100 images.
CNNs can be used for image classification by using trainable convolutional and pooling layers to extract features from images, followed by dense layers for classification. CNNs were made practical by increased computational power and large datasets. Libraries like Keras make it easy to build and train CNNs. Example projects include sentiment analysis, customer conversion analysis, and inventory management using computer vision and natural language processing with CNNs.

Defense Against LLM Scheming 2025_04_28.pptxGreg Makowski
https://www.meetup.com/sf-bay-acm/events/306888467/
A January 2025 paper called “Frontier Models are Capable of In-Context Scheming”, https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.04984, demonstrated how a wide variety of current frontier LLM models (i.e. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Llama) can, under specific conditions, scheme to deceive people. Before models can scheme, they need: a) goal-directedness, b) situational awareness, including an opportunity to discover motivations for a different goal, and c) reasoning about scheming, to come up with deceptive strategies. The deceptive strategies were discovered in the “thought traces” of the LLMs, such as from internal chain-of-thoughts dialogues not shown to the end users. For example, given a goal of “solving math problems”, an LLM using its granted situational awareness of files in a file system found that it would be replaced once it got over X% correct on the math exam. It reasoned that it did not want to be deleted, and decided internally to “sandbag” or reduce its performance to stay under the threshold.
While these circumstances are initially narrow, the “alignment problem” is a general concern that over time, as frontier LLM models become more and more intelligent, being in alignment with human values becomes more and more important. How can we do this over time? Can we develop a defense against Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) or SuperIntelligence?
The presenter discusses a series of defensive steps that can help reduce these scheming or alignment issues. A guardrails system can be set up for real-time monitoring of their reasoning “thought traces” from the models that share their thought traces. Thought traces may come from systems like Chain-of-Thoughts (CoT), Tree-of-Thoughts (ToT), Algorithm-of-Thoughts (AoT) or ReAct (thought-action-reasoning cycles). Guardrails rules can be configured to check for “deception”, “evasion” or “subversion” in the thought traces.
However, not all commercial systems will share their “thought traces” which are like a “debug mode” for LLMs. This includes OpenAI’s o1, o3 or DeepSeek’s R1 models. Guardrails systems can provide a “goal consistency analysis”, between the goals given to the system and the behavior of the system. Cautious users may consider not using these commercial frontier LLM systems, and make use of open-source Llama or a system with their own reasoning implementation, to provide all thought traces.
Architectural solutions can include sandboxing, to prevent or control models from executing operating system commands to alter files, send network requests, and modify their environment. Tight controls to prevent models from copying their model weights would be appropriate as well. Running multiple instances of the same model on the same prompt to detect behavior variations helps. The running redundant instances can be limited to the most crucial decisions, as an additional check. Preventing self-modifying code, ... (see link for full description)
Lalit Wangikar, a partner at CKM Advisors, is an experienced strategic consultant and analytics expert. He started looking for data driven ways of conducting process discovery workshops. When he read about process mining the first time around, about 2 years ago, the first feeling was: “I wish I knew of this while doing the last several projects!".
Interviews are subject to all the whims human recollection is subject to: specifically, recency, simplification and self preservation. Interview-based process discovery, therefore, leaves out a lot of “outliers” that usually end up being one of the biggest opportunity area. Process mining, in contrast, provides an unbiased, fact-based, and a very comprehensive understanding of actual process execution.
This project demonstrates the application of machine learning—specifically K-Means Clustering—to segment customers based on behavioral and demographic data. The objective is to identify distinct customer groups to enable targeted marketing strategies and personalized customer engagement.
The presentation walks through:
Data preprocessing and exploratory data analysis (EDA)
Feature scaling and dimensionality reduction
K-Means clustering and silhouette analysis
Insights and business recommendations from each customer segment
This work showcases practical data science skills applied to a real-world business problem, using Python and visualization tools to generate actionable insights for decision-makers.

Tijn van der Heijden is a business analyst with Deloitte. He learned about process mining during his studies in a BPM course at Eindhoven University of Technology and became fascinated with the fact that it was possible to get a process model and so much performance information out of automatically logged events of an information system.
Tijn successfully introduced process mining as a new standard to achieve continuous improvement for the Rabobank during his Master project. At his work at Deloitte, Tijn has now successfully been using this framework in client projects.
