A few weeks ago, The New Yorker magazine published a story titled “Total Recall,” in which one of their correspondents, Patrick Radden Keefe, traveled to England to interview a team of “super-recognizers.” While most humans have spots of trouble putting names to faces, super-recognizers have an uncanny ability to recognize human faces. The city of London is known for a relatively high number of security cameras, and the city’s Metropolitan Police Service has begun employing these super-recognizers to comb through footage of unsolved crimes. The results have been successful, and other police departments around the world are now considering similar tactics. When asked about the possibility of a computer program aiding in the process of facial recognition, the idea was entirely dismissed by several of these super-recognizers. Although technology is not replacing super-recognizers yet, researchers from the Center for Data Science have been working to bridge the gap between human and machine visual recognition for quite some time, and with promising results. In 2014, three researchers from NYU—Avi Ziskind, a former Postdoctoral Researcher at NYU’s Psychology department, Yann LeCunn, from the Center for Data Science, and Denis Pelli, from NYU’s Computer Science Department—gave a presentation titled, “Two Machine-Learning Models of Object Recognition Exhibit Key Feature of Human Performance” at the 2014 Moore-Sloan Data Science Initiative Launch Event. They presented their research on two machine-learning models that had been trained to exhibit human-like levels of object recognition. The first model was a convolutional neural network, a type of model that is loosely based on the ways in which the human brain functions. The second was a texture statistics model, which measures the probability that a given image matches a previously known image. When given pieces of text, the models displayed two hallmarks of human recognition an understanding of both spatial frequency and font complexity. In The New Yorker article, the possibility of computer-based facial recognition was partially dismissed because super-recognizers often deal with grainy footage, or images that are poorly lit. But the models developed by Ziskind, LeCunn, and Pelli were well equipped to deal with visual noise, at least in the case of text. The two graphs below measure the neural network’s performance against a human observer. The network was trained to accommodate for two types of visual noise which are also present in human vision white noise and 1/f noise. When trained for both types of noises, the threshold curve for the neural network was remarkably similar to the threshold curve for human vision, and in some cases, the neural network exhibited a higher threshold for recognizing text. The texture statistics model did not perform as closely to its human vision counterpart, but still performed well overall. While text analysis is a different beast than facial recognition, the core concepts are not fundamentally different. The work of Ziskind, LeCunn, and Pelli shows that computer facial recognition may be much closer closer than we think.

I graduated on Warsaw University of Technology with master thesis about text mining topic (intelligent web crawling methods). I work for Polish IT consulting company (Sollers Consulting), where I develop and design various insurance industry related stuff, (one of them is insurance fraud detection platform). From time to time I try to compete in data mining contests (Netflix, competitions on Kaggle and tunedit.org)?—?from my perspective it is a very good way to get real data mining experience.What I triedAs far as I remember, the basis of the solution I defined at the very beginning to create separate predictors for each individual loop and time interval. So my solution required me to build 61x10=610 regression models. I was playing with various regression algorithms, but quickly chose linear regression?—?because the results were good and the computation time was short. I think the key to get quite good result (especially on public RMSE ?? ) was the set of attributes used. I used the following attributes for the linear regression for each individual loop&time interval?—?number of minutes from 000 hours up to current moment (“now”)?—?average drive time for given loop&interval?—?loop times for current moment and some number of historical moments before (the number of time points and the loop varied between the methods)?—?differences between “neighboring” time moments for the above data just differences or differences transformed with logistic function (1/1+e^-difference). Use of logistic function gave a jump from public RMSE at about 198 to 189. The idea to use of sigmoid function here was just my intuition inspired by differences distribution.?—?“saturations” for for each loop (except the 2 first loops at both directions ).I introduced the simple (and very naive) model of traffic growth If the speed at given loop is up to 40 km/h?—?the saturation is 1;If the difference between the previous loop and the given loop is more than 5 km/h it is assumed that this road part is partially saturated there is segment that is moving at 30 km/h and second segment with the same speed as in the loop that is before given loop. The saturation is derived as the proportion of first segment to the whole road part. Each loop detector has its minimal value in RTAData file?—?after the regression this minimal value was used if predicted value was less than minimum.I did not use historical data at all?—?I found them useless during the initial tests (maybe too hastily). The only source of data for learning and testing was RTAData and lengths files (also no weekends, holidays, weather conditions).What ended up workingFor each of 610 regression models the following 3 models were competing. Models were being trained with all data availabe in RTAData file Model 1 For all (61) loops current + 5 times moments before and 5 simple differences?—?675 attributes, Model 2 For 10 before, current and next 9 loops (if available or less) current + 9 times moments before and 9 simple differences, saturations (for current time moment only)?—?204 to 404 atrributes, Model 3 For 10 before, current and next 9 loops (if available or less) current + 9 times moments before and 9 sigmoided differences, saturations (for current time moment only) 204 to 404 atrributes, Model with least RMSE computed on the train file was selected for particular loop. It is not a very good strategy, however I thought that generally linear regression was resistant to overfitting (it is not true?—?as the number of variable grows, the more variance can be explained?—?this is what I have learnt).This strategy gave me public RMSE 189.3I added also 4th model, that I just used for 15, 30 minutes predictions arbitrarily Model 4 For all (61) loops current + 5 times moments before and 5 sigmoided differences, saturations (for current time moment only)?—?614 attributes. This turn gave mi 188.6 public result.What is interesting, the best private solution (however not selected by me since I relied to much on public results) was 190.819 (public 197.979) , it was just the model 3 described above combined with model 5 (model 5 was used for 15,30,45,60,90 minutes predictions arbitrarily, rest model 3) Model 5 like model 3 but also loop times are “sigmoided” not only differences.What tools I usedMy solution is written as Java application with Weka linked as library (as always when I try to compete in data mining contests). Since linear regression requires to solve matrix equation (in this case quite huge), the memory allocated by the program was becoming more and more important issue (3,5GB for one thread)?—?at the of the competition i was using computer with 4 processors and 12 GB of RAM?—?with 3 separate threads building and testing the models. The whole computation for my last attempts took about 48 hours of computations.Originally published at blog.kaggle.com on February 17, 2011.Marcin Pionnier on finishing 5th in the RTA competition was originally published in Kaggle Blog on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

This Friday, Graham Capital Management (GCM) introduced our CDS students to the career opportunities available for them in financial investing. Established in 1994, GCM is a leading macro-oriented investment firm based in Connecticut, with another office located in London, UK. The firm manages their clients’ portfolios in one of two ways discretionary or quantitative strategies. The discretionary approach is where industry experts in the firm are given considerable free reign to manage individual portfolios. But the quantitative strategies are where the data scientists are needed. While several financial firms believe in efficient market analysis, GCM applies innovative scientific research to consistently generate strong returns. They collect a range of financial data like price action, macroeconomic data, volatility, supply and demand records, and market sentiments. Then, they design trading strategies that run money systematically for their clients on over 100 different markets. GCM’s data-driven approach has continually given them—and their clients—a major advantage, especially during the financial crisis in 2008. Central to their continual success is prioritizing quality over quantity when it comes to recruitment. Although they only have roughly 200 personnel, their staff comprises of talented individuals with advanced degrees in computer science, machine learning, economics and, of course, data science. Unsurprisingly, then, GCM’s office culture is a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary one. Interestingly, GCM’s talented employees frequently borrow from academic practices to improve their own research, like emphasizing teamwork, peer review, and holding internal conferences. They also keep a close eye on the research produced by technology giants like Google and Facebook so that they can adopt new techniques into their trading strategies. As a data-driven investment firm, GCM always seeks graduates whom, like our CDS students, have demonstrated quantitative competency and developed some financial acumen. Located in a marvelous mansion in Connecticut (with a free gym and cafeteria!), GCM is a promising option for our graduates.   by Cherrie Kwok
