Research: A periodic table for machine learning

Dataconomy

Now, researchers from MIT, Microsoft, and Google are attempting to do just that with I-Con, or Information Contrastive Learning. Each guest (data point) finds a seat (cluster) ideally near friends (similar data). The architecture behind I-Con At its core, I-Con is built on an information-theoretic foundation.

Identification of Hazardous Areas for Priority Landmine Clearance: AI for Humanitarian Mine Action

ML @ CMU

In close collaboration with the UN and local NGOs, we co-develop an interpretable predictive tool for landmine contamination to identify hazardous clusters under geographic and budget constraints, experimentally reducing false alarms and clearance time by half. The major components of RELand are illustrated in Fig.

Uncovering K-means Clustering for Spatial Analysis

Towards AI

What is K Means Clustering K-Means is an unsupervised machine learning approach that divides the unlabeled dataset into various clusters. K stands for clustering, which divides data points into K clusters based on how far apart they are from each other’s centres.
