UAMS Awarded $1.3M for High School-Focused Tech and Data Science Program – Arkansas Business

The program will target underserved students in Northwest Arkansas. (Photo provided by UAMS)

UAMS has been awarded a $1.3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for its Arkansas Technology and Data Science in Health and Medicine (AR Tech-DaSH) program.

The five-year grant from the NIHs National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) will support an outreach exposure program focused on technology and data science in health and medicine for high school students, teachers and the community, primarily in northwest Arkansas.

AR Tech-DaSH will incorporate imaging technologies and a data science curriculum focused on health and medicine into classroom outreach programs, a 10-day summer camp and community events.

The program will target underserved and underrepresented students in northwest Arkansas and will revolve around three major health concerns prevalent in the region: obesity and diabetes, cardiovascular and immunology and cancer.

The grant will fund seminars for ninth-grade classes at schools in both rural and urban districts in Northwest Arkansas. Students will experience using a variety of medical-related technologies, such as stethoscopes, ultrasound, infrared and CT imaging, as well as data science-focused activities.

The 10-day summer camp, which will be held once a year, aims to provide 25 students with an integrated exposure to medical-related skills, clinician-patient simulations, research and case-based discussions of primary health concerns. The camp also hopes to provide students with an exposure to exploratory data analysis, data transformation, data mining and machine learning using health or medicine-related datasets.

Students who attend the AR Tech-DaSH camp will be designated as STEM ambassadors and will design and implement outreach events in their local communities with input from community stakeholders.

Also part of the program are virtual outreach sessions, which will be provided to rural classrooms across the state. Virtual teacher training workshops plan to show teachers how to incorporate imaging and data science into their classroom curriculum.

The goal is to get students excited about STEM and data science careers so that the future workforce in these fields better reflects the diverse population in the U.S., Kevin Phelan, AR Tech-DaSH program director, said in a press release. Arkansas is a relatively poor, rural state with one of the lowest per capita income and education levels in the country. It faces the same challenges as other states in trying to prepare for the demands of a properly educated and diverse STEM workforce. Arkansas students desperately need early and repeated exposure to STEM and data science to be prepared not only for future careers but also to enable them to make data-driven decisions about lifestyle choices that affect their health.

Leveraging Python Pint Units Handler Package Part 2 | by Jose D. Hernandez-Betancur | Jul, 2024 – Towards Data Science

Create your customized unit registry for physical quantities in Python Image generated by the author using OpenAIs DALL-E.

Real-world systems, like the supply chain, often involve working with physical quantities, like mass and energy. You don't have to be a professional scientist or engineer to make an app that can scale and let users enter quantities in any unit without the app crashing. Python has a robust and constantly growing ecosystem that is full of alternatives that can be easily integrated and expanded for your application.

Within an earlier post, I talked about the Pint library, which makes working with physical quantities easy. For a more fun way to learn and put together the different parts of our programming puzzle, feel free to go back to the post .

The goal of this article is to provide more information about the Pint package so that we can create a way to store unit definitions that are made on the fly and keep them after the program ends.

An Off-Beat Approach to Train-Test-Validation Split Your Dataset | by Amarpreet Singh | Jul, 2024 – Towards Data Science

Generated with Microsoft Designer

We all require to sample our population to perform statistical analysis and gain insights. When we do so, the aim is to ensure that our samples distribution closely matches that of the population.

For this, we have various methods: simple random sampling (where every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected), stratified sampling (which involves dividing the population into subgroups and sampling from each subgroup), cluster sampling (where the population is divided into clusters and entire clusters are randomly selected), systematic sampling (which involves selecting every nth member of the population), etc etc. Each method has its advantages and is chosen based on the specific needs and characteristics of the study.

In this article, we wont be focusing on sampling methods themselves per se, but rather on using these concepts to split the dataset used for machine learning approaches into Train-Test-Validation sets. These approaches work for all kinds of Tabular data. We will be working in Python here.

Below are some approaches that you already might know:

This approach uses random-sampling method. Example code:

This approach ensures that the splits maintain the same proportion of classes as the original dataset (with random sampling again of course), which is useful for imbalanced datasets. This approach will work when your target variable is not a continuous variable.

In K-Fold cross-validation, the dataset is split into k subsets (folds). The model is trained on k-1 folds and tested on the remaining fold. This process is repeated k times.

As the name suggests, this is a combination of Stratified sampling and K-fold cross-validation.

Full example usage:

Now, you can use these methods to split your dataset but they have the following limitations:

Now, suppose you have a small total number of observations in your dataset and its difficult to ensure similar distributions amongst your splits. In that case, you can combine clustering and random sampling (or stratified sampling).

Below is how I did it for my problem at hand:

In this method, first, we cluster our dataset and then use sampling methods on each cluster to obtain our data splits.

For example, using HDBSCAN:

You can also use other clustering methods according to your problem for eg. K-Means clustering:

Now you can also add levels of granularities (any categorical variable) to your dataset to get more refined clusters as follows:

Once you have obtained cluster labels from any clustering method, you can use random sampling or stratified sampling to select samples from each cluster.

We will select indices randomly and then use these indices to select our train-test-val sets as follows:

As per my use-case, it was useful to sort my target variable y and then select every 1st, 2nd, and 3rd indices for train, test, and validation set respectively (all mutually exclusive), a.k.a systematic random sampling as below:

The above-discussed approaches of combining clustering with different sampling methods are very useful when you have a small number of observations in your dataset as they ensure to maintain similar distributions amongst the Train, Test and Validation sets.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you find this article helpful!

Exploring Medusa and Multi-Token Prediction | by Matthew Gunton | Jul, 2024 – Towards Data Science

Speculative Decoding was introduced as a way to speed up inferencing for an LLM. You see, LLMs are autoregressive, meaning we take the output token that we just predicted and use it to help predict the next token we want. Typically we are predicting one-token at a time (or one-token per forward pass of the neural network). However, because the attention pattern for the next token is very similar to the attention pattern from the previous one, we are repeating most of the same calculations and not gaining much new information.

Speculative decoding means that rather than doing one forward pass for one token, instead after one forward pass we try to find as many tokens as we can. In general there are three steps for this:

(1) Generate the candidates

(2) Process the candidates

(3) Accept certain candidates

Medusa is a type of speculative decoding, and so its steps map directly onto these. Medusa appends decoding heads to the final layer of the model as its implementation of (1). Tree attention is how it processes the candidates for (2). Finally, Medusa uses either rejection sampling or a typical acceptance scheme to accomplish (3). Lets go through each of these in detail.

A decoding head takes the internal representation of the hidden state produced by a forward pass of the model and then creates the probabilities that correspond to different tokens in the vocabulary. In essence, it is converting the things the model has learned into probabilities that will determine what the next token is.

Medusa adjusts the architecture of a typical Transformer by appending multiple decoding heads to the last hidden layer of the model. By doing so, it can predict more than just one token given a forward pass. Each additional head that we add predicts one token further. So if you have 3 Medusa heads, you are predicting the first token from the forward pass, and then 3 more tokens after that with the Medusa heads. In the paper, the authors recommend using 5, as they saw this gave the best balance between speed-up and quality.

To accomplish this, the authors of the paper proposed the below decoder head for Medusa:

This equation gives us the probability of token t from the k-th head. We start off by using the weights weve found through training the Medusa head, W1, and multiplying them by our internal state for token t. We use the SiLU activation function to pass through only selective information(SiLU = x * sigmoid(x)). We add to this the internal state a second time as part of a skip connection, which allows the model to be more performant by not losing information during the linear activation of the SiLU. We then multiply the sum by the second set of weights weve trained for the head, W2, and run that product through a softmax to get our probability.

The first Medusa heads give the model probabilities they should consider based off the forward pass, but the subsequent Medusa heads need to figure out what token they should pick based off what the prior Medusa heads chose.

Naturally, the more options the earlier Medusa heads put forward (hyperparameter sk), the more options future heads need to consider. For example, when we consider just the top two candidates from head 1 (s1=2) and the top three from head 2 (s2=3), we wind up with 6 different situations we need to compute.

Due to this expansion, we would like to generate and verify these candidates as concurrently as possible.

The above matrix shows how we can run all of these calculations within the same batch via tree attention. Unlike typical causal self-attention, only the tokens from the same continuation are considered relevant for the attention pattern. As the matrix illustrates with this limited space, we can fit our candidates all into one batch and run attention on them concurrently.

The challenge here is that each prediction needs to consider only the candidate tokens that would be directly behind it. In other words, if we choose It from head 1, and we are evaluating which token should come next, we do not want to have the attention pattern for I being used for the tokens.

The authors avoid this kind of interference by using a mask to avoid passing data about irrelevant tokens into the attention calculation. By using this mask, they can be memory efficient while they calculate the attention pattern & then use that information in the decoding head to generate the subsequent token candidates.

While the above matrix shows us considering every prediction the same, if we have a probability for each prediction, we can treat these differently based on how likely they are to be the best choice. The below tree visualizes just that.

Perception-Inspired Graph Convolution for Music Understanding Tasks | by Emmanouil Karystinaios | Jul, 2024 – Towards Data Science

This article discusses MusGConv, a perception-inspired graph convolution block for symbolic musical applications 10 min read

In the field of Music Information Research (MIR), the challenge of understanding and processing musical scores has continuously been introduced to new methods and approaches. Most recently many graph-based techniques have been proposed as a way to target music understanding tasks such as voice separation, cadence detection, composer classification, and Roman numeral analysis.

This blog post covers one of my recent papers in which I introduced a new graph convolutional block, called MusGConv, designed specifically for processing music score data. MusGConv takes advantage of music perceptual principles to improve the efficiency and the performance of graph convolution in Graph Neural Networks applied to music understanding tasks.

Traditional approaches in MIR often rely on audio or symbolic representations of music. While audio captures the intensity of sound waves over time, symbolic representations like MIDI files or musical scores encode discrete musical events. Symbolic representations are particularly valuable as they provide higher-level information essential for tasks such as music analysis and generation.

However, existing techniques based on symbolic music representations often borrow from computer vision (CV) or natural language processing (NLP) methodologies. For instance, representing music as a pianoroll in a matrix format and treating it similarly to an image, or, representing music as a series of tokens and treating it with sequential models or transformers. These approaches, though effective, could fall short in fully capturing the complex, multi-dimensional nature of music, which includes hierarchical note relation and intricate pitch-temporal relationships. Some recent approaches have been proposed to model the musical score as a graph and apply Graph Neural Networks to solve various tasks.

The fundamental idea of GNN-based approaches to musical scores is to model a musical score as a graph where notes are the vertices and edges are built from the temporal relations between the notes. To create a graph from a musical score we can consider four types of edges (see Figure below for a visualization of the graph on the score):

A GNN can treat the graph created from the notes and these four types of relations.

MusGConv is designed to leverage music score graphs and enhance them by incorporating principles of music perception into the graph convolution process. It focuses on two fundamental dimensions of music: pitch and rhythm, considering both their relative and absolute representations.

Absolute representations refer to features that can be attributed to each note individually such as the notes pitch or spelling, its duration or any other feature. On the other hand, relative features are computed between pairs of notes, such as the music interval between two notes, their onset difference, i.e. the time on which they occur, etc.

The importance and coexistence of the relative and absolute representations can be understood from a transpositional perspective in music. Imagine the same music content transposed. Then, the intervalic relations between notes stay the same but the pitch of each note is altered.

To fully understand the inner workings of the MusGConv convolution block it is important to first explain the principles of Message Passing.

In the context of GNNs, message passing is a process where vertices within a graph exchange information with their neighbors to update their own representations. This exchange allows each node to gather contextual information from the graph, which is then used to for predictive tasks.

The message passing process is defined by the following steps:

MusGConv alters the standard message passing process mainly by incorporating both absolute features as node features and relative musical features as edge features. This design is tailored to fit the nature of musical data.

The MusGConv convolution is defined by the following steps:

By designing the message passing mechanism in this way, MusGConv attempts to preserve the relative perceptual properties of music (such as intervals and rhythms), leading to more meaningful representations of musical data.

Should edge features are absent or deliberately not provided then MusGConv computes the edge features between two nodes as the absolute difference between their node features. The version of MusGConv with the edges features is named MusGConv(+EF) in the experiments.

To demonstrate the potential of MusGConv I discuss below the tasks and the experiments conducted in the paper. All models independent of the task are designed with the pipeline shown in the figure below. When MusGConv is employed the GNN blocks are replaced by MusGConv blocks.

I decided to apply MusGConv to four tasks: voice separation, composer classification, Roman numeral analysis, and cadence detection. Each one of these tasks presents a different taxonomy from a graph learning perspective. Voice separation is a link prediction task, composer classification is a global classification task, cadence detection is a node classification task, and Roman numeral analysis can be viewed as a subgraph classification task. Therefore we are exploring the suitability of MusGConv not only from a musical analysis perspective but through out the spectrum of graph deep learning task taxonomy.

Catching online scammers: our model combines data and behavioural science to map the psychological games cybercriminals play – The Conversation Canada

When fictions most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, needed to solve a crime, he turned to his sharp observational skills and deep understanding of human nature. He used this combination more than once when facing off against his arch-nemesis, Dr James Moriarty, a villain adept at exploiting human weaknesses for his gain.

This classic battle mirrors todays ongoing fight against cybercrime. Like Moriarty, cybercriminals use cunning strategies to exploit their victims psychological vulnerabilities. They send deceptive emails or messages that appear to be from trusted sources such as banks, employers, or friends. These messages often contain urgent requests or alarming information to provoke an immediate response.

For example, a phishing email might claim there has been suspicious activity on a victims bank account and prompt them to click on a link to verify their account details. Once the victim clicks the link and enters their information, the attackers capture their credentials for malicious use. Or individuals are manipulated into divulging confidential information to compromise their own or a companys security.

Holmes had to outsmart Moriarty by understanding and anticipating his moves. Modern cybersecurity teams and users must stay vigilant and proactive to outmanoeuvre cybercriminals who continuously refine their deceptive tactics.

What if those trying to prevent cybercrime could harness Holmess skills? Could those skills complement existing, more data-driven ways of identifying potential threats? I am a professor of information systems whose research focuses on, among other things, integrating data science and behavioural science through a sociotechnical lens to investigate the deceptive tactics used by cybercriminals.

Recently, I worked with Shiven Naidoo, a Masters student in data science, to understand how behavioural science and data science could join forces to combat cybercrime.

Our study found that, just as Holmess analytical genius and his sidekick Dr John Watsons practical approach were complementary, behavioural scientists and data scientists can collaborate to make cybercrime detection and prevention models more effective.

Data science uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured data.

When its powerful algorithms are applied to complex and large datasets they can identify patterns that indicate potential cyber threats. Predictive analysis helps cybersecurity teams anticipate and prevent large-scale attacks. This is done through, for instance, detecting anomalies in sentence structure to spot scams.

However, relying solely on data science often overlooks the human factors that drive cybercriminal behaviour.

The behavioural sciences study human behaviour. They consider the principles that influence decision-making and compliance. We drew extensively from US psychologist Robert Cialdinis social influence model in our study.

This model has been applied in cybersecurity studies to explain how cybercriminals exploit psychological tendencies.

Read more: Five things South Africa must do to combat cybercrime

For example, cybercriminals exploit humans tendency to be obedient to authority by impersonating trusted figures to spread disinformation. They also exploit urgency and scarcity principles to prompt hasty actions. Social proof the tendency to follow the actions of those similar to us is another tool, used to manipulate users into complying with fraudulent requests. For instance, cybercriminals might create fake reviews or testimonials, prompting users to fall for a scam.

We adapted the social influence model to detect cybercriminal tactics in scam datasets by combining behavioural and data science. Scam datasets consist of unstructured data, which includes complex text data such as phishing emails and fake social media posts. Our data consisted of known scams such as phishing and other malicious activities. It came from FraudWatch Internationals Cyber Intelligence Datafeed, which collects information on cybercrime incidents.

Its tough to draw insights from unstructured data. Models cant easily discern between meaningful data points and those that are irrelevant or misleading (we call it noisy data). Data scientists rely on feature engineering to cut through the noise. This process identifies and labels meaningful data points using knowledge from other fields.

We used domain knowledge from behavioural science to engineer and label meaningful features in unstructured scam data. Scams were labelled based on how they used Cialdinis social influence principles, transforming raw text data into meaningful features. For example, a phishing email might use the principle of urgency by saying your account will be locked in 24 hours if you do not respond!. The raw text is transformed into a meaningful feature labelled urgency, which can be analysed for patterns. Then we used machine learning to analyse and visualise the labelled dataset.

The results showed that certain social influence principles such as liking and authority were frequently used together in scams. We also found that phishing scams often employed a mix of several principles. This made them more sophisticated and harder to detect.

The results gave us valuable insights into how often different types of social influence principles (such as urgency, trust, familiarity) are exploited by cybercriminals, as well as where more than one type is used at a time. Analysing unstructured text data like phishing emails and fake social media posts allowed us to identify patterns that indicated manipulative tactics.

Overall, our work yielded high quality insights from complex scam datasets.

Its important to mention that our dataset was not exhaustive. However, we believe our results are invaluable for mining insights from complex cybercrime data. This kind of analysis can be used by cybersecurity professionals, data scientists, cybersecurity firms and organisations involved in cybersecurity research. It can help improve automated detection systems and inform targeted training.

A Weekend AI Project: Object Detection with YOLO on PC and Raspberry Pi | by Dmitrii Eliuseev | Jul, 2024 – Towards Data Science

Running the Latest YOLO v10 Model on Different Hardware YOLO Objects Detection, Image by author

Computer vision can be an important part of ML apps of different scales, from $20,000 Tesla Bots or self-driving cars to smart doorbells and vacuum cleaners. It is also a challenging task because, compared to a cloud infrastructure, on real edge devices, the hardware specs are often much more constrained.

YOLO (You Only Look Once) is a popular object detection library; its first version was made in 2015. YOLO is particularly interesting for embedded devices because it can run almost anywhere; there are not only Python but also C++ (ONNX and OpenVINO) and Rust versions available. A year ago, I tested YOLO v8 on a Raspberry Pi 4. Nowadays, many things have changed a new Raspberry Pi 5 became available, and a newer YOLO v10 was released. So I expect a new model on new hardware to work faster and more precisely.

The code presented in this article is cross-platform, so readers who dont have a Raspberry Pi can run it on a Windows, Linux, or OS X computer as well.

Without further ado, lets see how it works!

Master This Data Science Skill and You Will Land a Job In Big Tech Part I | by Khouloud El Alami | Jul, 2024 – Towards Data Science

11 min read

Are you a data scientist dreaming of landing a job in Big Tech but youre not sure what skills you need to get there?

Well, Ive got a secret weapon that could be just what you need to land your dream job in top tech companies.

A few months ago, I wrote this article about all the essential skills you need to get hired by the best tech firms, and today, were going to focus on one of those crucial skills: Experimentation.
