Using a Graph Database for Deep Learning Text Classification. Graphify is a Neo4j unmanaged extension that provides plug and play natural language text classification. Graphify gives you a mechanism to train natural language parsing models that extract features of a text using deep learning. When training a model to recognize the meaning of a text, you can send an article of text with a provided set of labels that describe the nature of the text. Over time the natural language parsing model in Neo4j will grow to identify those features that optimally disambiguate a text to a set of classes. The feature hierarchy is generated probabilistically as a result of a statistical analysis of neighboring words to a feature. By doing this it becomes possible to recognize a large set of features in test data by eliminating possibilities at each layer. The lowest level representation of a feature is closest to the root pattern.

Vector Space Model Graphify generates a Vector Space Model when classifying text on training data. Classify unlabeled text Training Links. So you wanna try Deep Learning? I’m keeping this post quick and dirty, but at least it’s out there. The gist of this post is that I put out a one file gist that does all the basics, so that you can play around with it yourself. First of all, I would say that deep learning is simply kernel machines whose kernel we learn.

That’s gross but that’s not totally false. Second of all, there is nothing magical about deep learning, just that we can efficiently train (GPUs, clusters) large models (millions of weights, billions if you want to make a Wired headline) on large datasets (millions of images, thousands of hours of speech, more if you’re GOOG/FB/AAPL/MSFT/NSA). I think a good part of the success of deep learning comes from the fact that practitionners are not affraid to go around beautiful mathematical principles to have their model work on whatever dataset and whatever task. What is a deep neural network? A series of matrix multiplications and non-linearities. Links and Papers Stuff you’ll learn Generic Dropout Practice. A Gentle Introduction to Backpropagation. Why is this blog being written? Neural networks have always fascinated me ever since I became aware of them in the 1990s. They are often represented with a hypnotizing array of connections.

In the last decade, deep neural networks have dominated pattern recognition, often replacing other algorithms for applications like computer vision and voice recognition. At least in specialized tasks, they indeed come close to mimicking the miraculous feats of cognition our brains are capable of. While neural networks are capable of such feats, the very discovery of a method of programming such a computational device seems to me to be a miraculous feat of cognition worthy of celebration. My purpose in writing this blog is to share my perspective on an amazing algorithm made widely known by a 1986 publication in Nature.

I will assume that the reader has some understanding of the meaning and purpose of the various elements of a neural network such as the one shown in Figure 1. Backpropagation 1. 2. 3. Richard Socher - Deep Learning Tutorial. Slides Updated Version of Tutorial at NAACL 2013 See Videos High quality video of the 2013 NAACL tutorial version are up here: quality version of the 2012 ACL version: on youtube Abstract Machine learning is everywhere in today's NLP, but by and large machine learning amounts to numerical optimization of weights for human designed representations and features. Outline References All references we referred to in one pdf file Further Information A very useful assignment for getting started with deep learning in NLP is to implement a simple window-based NER tagger in this exercise we designed for the Stanford NLP class 224N.

Wenbo? Hi Richard, I am a big fan of your C S224d? Gebre? Hi Richard, I am building NER System for Tigrigna, one of under resourced Semitic language like Arabic. Machine Learning. Course Description In this course, you'll learn about some of the most widely used and successful machine learning techniques. You'll have the opportunity to implement these algorithms yourself, and gain practice with them. You will also learn some of practical hands-on tricks and techniques (rarely discussed in textbooks) that help get learning algorithms to work well. This is an "applied" machine learning class, and we emphasize the intuitions and know-how needed to get learning algorithms to work in practice, rather than the mathematical derivations.

Familiarity with programming, basic linear algebra (matrices, vectors, matrix-vector multiplication), and basic probability (random variables, basic properties of probability) is assumed. Basic calculus (derivatives and partial derivatives) would be helpful and would give you additional intuitions about the algorithms, but isn't required to fully complete this course.

PredictionIO is an open source machine learning server for software developers to create predictive features, such as personalization, recommendation and content discovery.

Building a production-grade engine to predict users’ preferences and personalize content for them used to be time-consuming. Not anymore with PredictionIO’s latest v0.7 release. We are going to show you how PredictionIO streamlines the data process and make it friendly for developers and production deployment. A movie recommendation case will be used for illustration purpose. We want to offer “Top 10 Personalized Movie Recommendation” for each user. In addition, we also offer “If you like this movie, you may also like these 10 other movies….”. Prerequisite First, let’s explain a few terms we use in PredictionIO. Apps Apps in PredictionIO are not apps with program code. Engines Engines are logical identities that an external application can interact with via the API.

Www.mohakshah.com/tutorials/icml2012/Tutorial-ICML2012/Tutorial_at_ICML_2012_files/ICML2012-Tutorial.pdf. Machine Learning Demos. WIS 20114221 -- Intro. to Statistical Machine Learning. Hunch. Part I slides (Powerpoint) Introduction Part II.a slides (Powerpoint) Tree Ensembles Part II.b slides (Powerpoint) Graphical models Part III slides (Summary + GPU learning + Terascale linear learning) This tutorial gives a broad view of modern approaches for scaling up machine learning and data mining methods on parallel/distributed platforms.

Demand for scaling up machine learning is task-specific: for some tasks it is driven by the enormous dataset sizes, for others by model complexity or by the requirement for real-time prediction. Selecting a task-appropriate parallelization platform and algorithm requires understanding their benefits, trade-offs and constraints. The tutorial is based on (but not limited to) the material from our upcoming Cambridge U.

Scalable, commercial-friendly machine learning for building intelligent applications Grant IngersollPublished on September 08, 2009 Increasingly, the success of companies and individuals in the information age depends on how quickly and efficiently they turn vast amounts of data into actionable information.

Whether it's for processing hundreds or thousands of personal e-mail messages a day or divining user intent from petabytes of weblogs, the need for tools that can organize and enhance data has never been greater. Therein lies the premise and the promise of the field of machine learning and the project this article introduces: Apache Mahout (see Related topics).

Machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence concerned with techniques that allow computers to improve their outputs based on previous experiences. The field is closely related to data mining and often uses techniques from statistics, probability theory, pattern recognition, and a host of other areas. Figure 1. UFLDL Tutorial - Ufldl.
