Multitask learning, i.e. learning several tasks at once with the same neural network, can improve performance in each of tasks. Designing deep network architectures for multitask is a challenge: There are many ways to tie together, and design choices matter. The size complexity this problem exceeds human ability, making it compelling domain evolutionary optimization. Using existing state art soft ordering architecture as starting point, methods evolving modules overall topology or routing...

Image based localization is an important problem with many applications. In our previous work, we presented a two step pipeline for performing image of mobile devices in outdoor environments. the first step, query matched against georeferenced 3D database to retrieve "closest" image. second pose recovered respect using cell phone sensors. As such, key ingredient database. this paper, extend approach indoors by utilizing locally referenced generated ambulatory depth acquisition backpack that...

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have produced state-of-the-art results in many benchmarks and problem domains. However, the success of DNNs depends on proper configuration its architecture hyperparameters. Such a is difficult as result, are often not used to their full potential. In addition, commercial applications need satisfy real-world design constraints such size or number parameters. To make easier, automatic machine learning (AutoML) systems for deep been developed, focusing mostly optimization

Directed network motifs are the building blocks of complex networks, such as human brain and capture deep connectivity information that is not contained in standard measures. In this paper we present first application directed vivo to utilizing recently developed progression networks which built upon rates cortical thickness changes between regions. This contrast previous studies have relied on simulations vitro analysis non-human brains. We show frequencies specific can be used distinguish...

Many evolutionary algorithms (EAs) take advantage of parallel evaluation candidates. However, if times vary significantly, many worker nodes (i.e.,\ compute clients) are idle much the time, waiting for next generation to be created. Evolutionary neural architecture search (ENAS), a class EAs that optimizes and hyperparameters deep networks, is particularly vulnerable this issue. This paper proposes generic asynchronous strategy (AES) then adapted work with ENAS. AES increases throughput by...

Deep learning (DL) has transformed much of AI, and demonstrated how machine can make a difference in the real world. Its core technology is gradient descent, which been used neural networks since 1980s. However, massive expansion available training data compute gave it new instantiation that significantly increased its power.
