Building Program Vector Representations for Deep Learning
Deep learning has made significant breakthroughs in various fields of
artificial intelligence. Advantages of deep learning include the ability to
capture highly complicated features, weak involvement of human engineering,
etc. However, it is still virtually impossible to use deep learning to analyze
programs since deep architectures cannot be trained effectively with pure back
propagation. In this pioneering paper, we propose the "coding criterion" to
build program vector representations, which are the premise of deep learning
for program analysis. Our representation learning approach directly makes deep
learning a reality in this new field. We evaluate the learned vector
representations both qualitatively and quantitatively. We conclude, based on
the experiments, the coding criterion is successful in building program
representations. To evaluate whether deep learning is beneficial for program
analysis, we feed the representations to deep neural networks, and achieve
higher accuracy in the program classification task than "shallow" methods, such
as logistic regression and the support vector machine. This result confirms the
feasibility of deep learning to analyze programs. It also gives primary
evidence of its success in this new field. We believe deep learning will become
an outstanding technique for program analysis in the near future.Comment: This paper was submitted to ICSE'1
Machine Learning for Fluid Mechanics
The field of fluid mechanics is rapidly advancing, driven by unprecedented
volumes of data from field measurements, experiments and large-scale
simulations at multiple spatiotemporal scales. Machine learning offers a wealth
of techniques to extract information from data that could be translated into
knowledge about the underlying fluid mechanics. Moreover, machine learning
algorithms can augment domain knowledge and automate tasks related to flow
control and optimization. This article presents an overview of past history,
current developments, and emerging opportunities of machine learning for fluid
mechanics. It outlines fundamental machine learning methodologies and discusses
their uses for understanding, modeling, optimizing, and controlling fluid
flows. The strengths and limitations of these methods are addressed from the
perspective of scientific inquiry that considers data as an inherent part of
modeling, experimentation, and simulation. Machine learning provides a powerful
information processing framework that can enrich, and possibly even transform,
current lines of fluid mechanics research and industrial applications.Comment: To appear in the Annual Reviews of Fluid Mechanics, 202
