Intro to deep learning to track deforestation in supply chains

Introduction In my experience, I have observed that it’s common in machine learning to surrender to the process of experimenting with many different algorithms in a trial and error fashion, until you get the desired result. My peers and I at Google have a People and Planet AI YouTube series where we talk about how …

Statistical Deconvolution for Inference of Infection Time Series

Accurate measurement of daily infection incidence is crucial to epidemic response. However, delays in symptom onset, testing, and reporting obscure the dynamics of transmission, necessitating methods to remove the effects of stochastic delays from observed data. Existing estimators can be sensitive to model misspecification and censored observations; many analysts have instead used methods that exhibit …

The Slingshot Mechanism: An Empirical Study of Adaptive Optimizers and the Grokking Phenomenon

This paper was accepted to the “Has it Trained Yet?” (HITY) workshop at NeurIPS 2022. The grokking phenomenon as reported by Power et al., refers to a regime where a long period of overfitting is followed by a seemingly sudden transition to perfect generalization. In this paper, we attempt to reveal the underpinnings of Grokking …
