Specialized techniques may make it possible to induce selective 'amnesia' in machine learning models.

In practice, most scheduling problems are an abstraction of the real problem being solved. For example, when you plan your day, you schedule the activities which are critical; that is you schedule the activities which are essential to the success of your day. So you may plan what time to leave the house to get to work, when to have meetings, how you share your vehicle with your spouse and so on...

One example of the use of an RCT in public policy, as opposed to the health sector, involves sending message reminders to those with unpaid court fines. The Court Service and Behavioural Insights Team randomly allocated individuals to a control group, to whom no text message were sent, and to other groups sent text message reminders with or without personalised information. This RCT demonstrate...

We propose an end-to-end-trainable attention module for convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures built for image classification. The module takes as input the 2D feature vector maps which form the intermediate representations of the input image at different stages in the CNN pipeline, and outputs a 2D matrix of scores for each map. Standard CNN architectures are modified through the inc...
