A Survey on Bayesian Deep Learning
A comprehensive artificial intelligence system needs to not only perceive the
environment with different `senses' (e.g., seeing and hearing) but also infer
the world's conditional (or even causal) relations and corresponding
uncertainty. The past decade has seen major advances in many perception tasks
such as visual object recognition and speech recognition using deep learning
models. For higher-level inference, however, probabilistic graphical models
with their Bayesian nature are still more powerful and flexible. In recent
years, Bayesian deep learning has emerged as a unified probabilistic framework
to tightly integrate deep learning and Bayesian models. In this general
framework, the perception of text or images using deep learning can boost the
performance of higher-level inference and in turn, the feedback from the
inference process is able to enhance the perception of text or images. This
survey provides a comprehensive introduction to Bayesian deep learning and
reviews its recent applications on recommender systems, topic models, control,
etc. Besides, we also discuss the relationship and differences between Bayesian
deep learning and other related topics such as Bayesian treatment of neural
networks.Comment: To appear in ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR) 202
Cable-Driven Robots with Wireless Control Capability for Pedagogical Illustration in Science
Science teaching in secondary schools is often abstract for students. Even if
some experiments can be conducted in classrooms, mainly for chemistry or some
physics fields, mathematics is not an experimental science. Teachers have to
convince students that theorems have practical implications. We present
teachers an original and easy-to-use pedagogical tool: a cable-driven robot
with a Web-based remote control interface. The robot implements several
scientific concepts such as 3D-geometry and kinematics. The remote control
enables the teacher to move freely in the classroom.Comment: CAR - 8th National Conference on "Control Architecure of Robots"
