Artificial Intelligence, Physics, and Patterns of Data

Artificial Intelligence can now beat world champions at board games like Go and chess, drive cars, and write prose. This kind of revolution stems in large, particularly from the power of the particular type of artificial neural network. The design of it inspired the connected layers of neurons in the mammalian visual cortex. These CNNs (convolutional neural networks) have proved surprisingly adaptable at learning patters in double-dimensional data. It was exceptionally proficient in computer vision tasks. Tasks, including recognizing objects in digital imagens and recognizing written words.

But when it comes to the point clouds generated by self-driving cars to map their surroundings or the models of irregular shapes used in 3D computer animation the artificial intelligence is weak. The powerful machine learning is not good when it applies to data sets without a built-in planar geometry. A new discipline called deep geometric learning emerged intending to lift CNNs out of flatland, Around 2016.

A new theoretical framework for building neural networks that can learn patterns of any geometric surface is delivering researchers. At the Qualcomm Artificial Intelligence Research by Max welling, Berkay Kicanaoglu, Maurice Weiler and Taco Cohen were working to develop these gauge CNNs. The gauge CNNs can also be called gauge-equivariant convolutional neural networks. The gauge CNNs can detect patterns not only in 2D arrays of pixels but also on asymmetrically curved objects and spheres. Welling said that the framework is a reasonably right answer to this problem of curved surfaces deep learning.

Gauge CNNs have greatly exceeded their competitors in learning patterns in simulated global climate data. The simulated comprehensive climate data naturally map onto a sphere. The algorithms might also be useful for the improvement of the drone’s vision. Also, it can be helpful for autonomous vehicles that see objects in 3D. It can help to detect the patterns in data gathering from the irregularly curved surfaces of brains, hearts, and other organs.

The solution to getting deep learning to work beyond the flatland has deep connections to physics. The Standard Model of particle physics and Albert Einstein’s general theory describe the world. These theories exhibit a property called gauge equivariance. The quantities in the world and their relationships are not depending on references or arbitrary frames. They are consistent whether an observer is standing still or moving. It doesn’t matter how far apart the numbers are on a ruler.

You can imagine, for example, the length of a football field in yards. If you measure it again in meters, the numbers will change. Nevertheless, the change will be predictable. Naturally, if two photographers will take a picture of an object from two different vantage points, the images will be different. Nevertheless, these two different pictures can be related. Regardless of their units of measurement or perspective, gauge equivariance ensures that physicists’ models of reality stay consistent.

A physicist at New York University who applies machine learning to particle physics data is Kyle Cranmer. He says that they want to get the idea that there’s no particular orientation into neural networks.

Let’s see how they will succeed.
