Reconnu comme une sommité mondiale en intelligence artificielle, Yoshua Bengio s’est surtout distingué par son rôle de pionnier en apprentissage profond, ce qui lui a valu le prix A. M. Turing 2018, le « prix Nobel de l’informatique », avec Geoffrey Hinton et Yann LeCun. Il est professeur titulaire à l’Université de Montréal, fondateur et conseiller scientifique de Mila – Institut québécois d’intelligence artificielle, et codirige en tant que senior fellow le programme Apprentissage automatique, apprentissage biologique de l'Institut canadien de recherches avancées (CIFAR). Il occupe également la fonction de conseiller spécial et directeur scientifique fondateur d’IVADO.

En 2018, il a été l’informaticien qui a recueilli le plus grand nombre de nouvelles citations au monde. En 2019, il s’est vu décerner le prestigieux prix Killam. Depuis 2022, il détient le plus grand facteur d’impact (h-index) en informatique à l’échelle mondiale. Il est fellow de la Royal Society de Londres et de la Société royale du Canada, et officier de l’Ordre du Canada.

Soucieux des répercussions sociales de l’IA et de l’objectif que l’IA bénéficie à tous, il a contribué activement à la Déclaration de Montréal pour un développement responsable de l’intelligence artificielle.

Neural Function Modules with Sparse Arguments: A Dynamic Approach to Integrating Information across Layers

Alex Lamb

A. Slowik

Philippe Beaudoin

Feed-forward neural networks consist of a sequence of layers, in which each layer performs some processing on the information from the previ… (voir plus)ous layer. A downside to this approach is that each layer (or module, as multiple modules can operate in parallel) is tasked with processing the entire hidden state, rather than a particular part of the state which is most relevant for that module. Methods which only operate on a small number of input variables are an essential part of most programming languages, and they allow for improved modularity and code re-usability. Our proposed method, Neural Function Modules (NFM), aims to introduce the same structural capability into deep learning. Most of the work in the context of feed-forward networks combining top-down and bottom-up feedback is limited to classification problems. The key contribution of our work is to combine attention, sparsity, top-down and bottom-up feedback, in a flexible algorithm which, as we show, improves the results in standard classification, out-of-domain generalization, generative modeling, and learning representations in the context of reinforcement learning.

GraphMix: Improved Training of GNNs for Semi-Supervised Learning

We present GraphMix, a regularization method for Graph Neural Network based semi-supervised object classification, whereby we propose to tra… (voir plus)in a fully-connected network jointly with the graph neural network via parameter sharing and interpolation-based regularization. Further, we provide a theoretical analysis of how GraphMix improves the generalization bounds of the underlying graph neural network, without making any assumptions about the "aggregation" layer or the depth of the graph neural networks. We experimentally validate this analysis by applying GraphMix to various architectures such as Graph Convolutional Networks, Graph Attention Networks and Graph-U-Net. Despite its simplicity, we demonstrate that GraphMix can consistently improve or closely match state-of-the-art performance using even simpler architectures such as Graph Convolutional Networks, across three established graph benchmarks: Cora, Citeseer and Pubmed citation network datasets, as well as three newly proposed datasets: Cora-Full, Co-author-CS and Co-author-Physics.

Generating Multiscale Amorphous Molecular Structures Using Deep Learning: A Study in 2D.

Amorphous molecular assemblies appear in a vast array of systems: from living cells to chemical plants and from everyday items to new device… (voir plus)s. The absence of long-range order in amorphous materials implies that precise knowledge of their underlying structures throughout is needed to rationalize and control their properties at the mesoscale. Standard computational simulations suffer from exponentially unfavorable scaling of the required compute with system size. We present a method based on deep learning that leverages the finite range of structural correlations for an autoregressive generation of disordered molecular aggregates up to arbitrary size from small-scale computational or experimental samples. We benchmark performance on self-assembled nanoparticle aggregates and proceed to simulate monolayer amorphous carbon with atomistic resolution. This method bridges the gap between the nanoscale and mesoscale simulations of amorphous molecular systems.

Introduction The need to streamline patient management for coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has become more pressing than ever. Chest X-ray… (voir plus)s (CXRs) provide a non-invasive (potentially bedside) tool to monitor the progression of the disease. In this study, we present a severity score prediction model for COVID-19 pneumonia for frontal chest X-ray images. Such a tool can gauge the severity of COVID-19 lung infections (and pneumonia in general) that can be used for escalation or de-escalation of care as well as monitoring treatment efficacy, especially in the ICU. Methods Images from a public COVID-19 database were scored retrospectively by three blinded experts in terms of the extent of lung involvement as well as the degree of opacity. A neural network model that was pre-trained on large (non-COVID-19) chest X-ray datasets is used to construct features for COVID-19 images which are predictive for our task. Results This study finds that training a regression model on a subset of the outputs from this pre-trained chest X-ray model predicts our geographic extent score (range 0-8) with 1.14 mean absolute error (MAE) and our lung opacity score (range 0-6) with 0.78 MAE. Conclusions These results indicate that our model’s ability to gauge the severity of COVID-19 lung infections could be used for escalation or de-escalation of care as well as monitoring treatment efficacy, especially in the ICU. To enable follow up work, we make our code, labels, and data available online.

The BabyAI platform is designed to measure the sample efficiency of training an agent to follow grounded-language instructions. BabyAI 1.0 p… (voir plus)resents baseline results of an agent trained by deep imitation or reinforcement learning. BabyAI 1.1 improves the agent's architecture in three minor ways. This increases reinforcement learning sample efficiency by up to 3 times and improves imitation learning performance on the hardest level from 77 % to 90.4 %. We hope that these improvements increase the computational efficiency of BabyAI experiments and help users design better agents.
