DeepMind Announces Minecraft-Playing AI DreamerV3

MMS Founder
MMS Anthony Alford

Article originally posted on InfoQ. Visit InfoQ

Researchers from DeepMind and the University of Toronto announced DreamerV3, a reinforcement-learning (RL) algorithm for training AI models for many different domains. Using a single set of hyperparameters, DreamerV3 outperforms other methods on several benchmarks and can train an AI to collect diamonds in Minecraft without human instruction.

The DreamerV3 algorithm includes three neural networks: a world model which predicts the result of actions, a critic which predicts the value of world model states, and an actor which chooses actions to reach valuable states. The networks are trained from replayed experiences on a single Nvidia V100 GPU. To evaluate the algorithm, the researchers used it on over 150 tasks in seven different domains, including simulated robot control and video game playing. DreamerV3 performed well on all domains and set new state-of-the-art performance on four of them. According to the DeepMind team:

World models carry the potential for substantial transfer between tasks. Therefore, we see training larger models to solve multiple tasks across overlapping domains as a promising direction for future investigations.

RL is a powerful technique that can train AI models to solve a wide variety of complex tasks, such as games or robot control. DeepMind has used RL to create models that can defeat the best human players at games such as Go or Starcraft. In 2022, InfoQ covered DayDreamer, an earlier version of the algorithm that can train physical robots to perform complex tasks within only a few hours. However, RL training often requires domain-expert assistance and expensive compute resource to fine-tune the models.

DeepMind’s goal with DreamerV3 was to produce an algorithm that works “out of the box” across many domains without modifying hyperparameters. One particular challenge is that the scale of inputs and rewards can vary a great deal across domains, making it tricky to choose a good loss function for optimization. Instead of normalizing these values, the DeepMind team introduced a symmetrical logarithm or symlog transform to “squash” the inputs to the model as well as its outputs.

To evaluate DreamerV3’s effectiveness across domains, the researchers evaluated it on seven benchmarks:

  • Proprio Control Suite: low-dimensional control tasks
  • Visual Control Suite: control tasks with high-dimensional images as inputs
  • Atari 100k: 26 Atari games
  • Atari 200M: 55 Atari games
  • BSuite: RL behavior benchmark
  • Crafter: survival video game
  • DMLab: 3D environments

DreamerV3 achieved “strong” performance on all, and set new state-of-the-art performance on Proprio Control Suite, Visual Control Suite, BSuite, and Crafter. The team also used DreamerV3 with default hyperparameters to train a model that is the first one to “collect diamonds in Minecraft from scratch without using human data.” The researchers contrasted this with VPT, which was pre-trained from 70k hours of internet videos of human players.

Lead author Danijar Hafner answered several questions about the work on Twitter. In response to one user, he noted:

[T]he main point of the algorithm is that it works out of the box on new problems, without needing experts to fiddle with it. So it’s a big step towards optimizing real-world processes.

Although the source code for DreamerV3 has not been released, Hafner says it is “coming soon.” The code for the previous version, DreamerV2, is available on GitHub. Hafner notes that V3 includes “better replay buffers” and is implemented on JAX instead of TensorFlow.

Uno Platform 4.7 Update Brings Simpler Solution and Performance Improvements

MMS Founder
MMS Edin Kapic

Article originally posted on InfoQ. Visit InfoQ

The open-source UI framework for cross-platform C# and XAML applications, Uno, has been updated to version 4.7. It brings a simplified solution experience in Visual Studio, performance updates on different platforms and other minor updates.

Uno platform is an alternative UI platform for building multidevice applications in C# and XAML. It was launched in 2018, after years of internal use by a Canadian company nventive. It allows developers to write applications for Windows, iOS, Android, WebAssembly, macOS and Linux. It is released under Apache 2.0 open-source license on GitHub.

While the official cross-platform UI libraries from Microsoft, Xamarin and .NET MAUI, strive to use native controls on each supported platform, Uno uses a mixed approach. It leverages the underlying UI primitives to render the same chromeless UI everywhere while it uses the cross-platform 2D graphics library Skia to draw the same UI style on all platforms. Internally, it leverages WinUI 3 API on Windows and reproduces the same API surface to all supported platforms, as demonstrated by the pixel-perfect port of the Windows Calculator app. For .NET developers, this means they should start designing and implementing the WinUI application first and Uno would take care of rendering and running it on all the supported platforms.

Version 4.7 of Uno platform simplifies the solution development experience in Visual Studio. In the previous versions of Uno, the Visual Studio solution had one project per each supported platform (or head, in Uno jargon) plus a shared project (with the suffix ‘.Shared’) where the shared code and shared assets live. In Uno 4.7, this shared project is removed and replaced with a new cross-platform library. This means that NuGet packages, for example, can now be added to the shared library only and not on every targeted head project (device-specific project in Visual Studio). Similarly, the new project template now includes the Uno Fluent Symbols font for all devices.

The framework team also took care of user feedback on GitHub and improved the performance of several back-ends. Specifically, WebAssembly applications are now trimmed to remove unused XAML styles and controls. .NET 7 performance updates are used for loading and unloading of controls in WebAssembly target applications, resulting in an alleged 8% runtime improvement.

Linux targets now use .NET native ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation, with faster startup and improved performance, skipping the use of JIT (just-in-time) .NET feature. Android performance has been enhanced by moving portions of cross-platform code instructions entirely to the Java side of the solution.

Updating Uno solutions to 4.7 involves updating the underlying NuGet packages. New solutions will use the shared library approach for the Visual Studio solution, while the existing solutions will keep the shared project approach.

According to .NET developers’ discussions on social media, the main advantage of the Uno platform over MAUI or Xamarin is being the only cross-platform .NET framework to support writing WebAssembly and Linux applications in C# and XAML.

AWS Gives Developers More Control over Lambda Function Runtime with Runtime Management Controls

MMS Founder
MMS Steef-Jan Wiggers

Article originally posted on InfoQ. Visit InfoQ

AWS recently introduced runtime management controls which provide more visibility and control when Lambda applies runtime updates to functions.

With runtime management controls, developers now have three new capabilities they can leverage:

  • Visibility into which patch version a runtime function uses and when runtime updates are applied
  • Synchronize runtime updates with function deployments
  • Rollback functions to an earlier runtime version

These capabilities are available by choosing one of the update modes for the lambda runtime using AWS CLI and Lambda AWS Management Console. In addition, developers can choose the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) route and use tools such as AWS CloudFormation and the AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM).

Jonathan Tuliani, a principal product manager at AWS, explains in an AWS blog post the runtime version update modes:

You can specify one of three runtime update modes: auto, function update, or manual. The runtime update mode controls when Lambda updates the function version to a new runtime version. 

Source: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/introducing-aws-lambda-runtime-management-controls/

The auto mode is the default, where Lambda takes care of the update, where functions will receive runtime updates in two phases. First, Lambda will apply a new runtime version to newly created or updated functions and, after that, to any remaining functions. 

In the second mode, function update, Lambda updates functions to the latest available runtime version whenever a developer changes their function code or configuration, similar to the first phase of auto mode, yet will leave any other function untouched.

And finally, the manual mode gives developers complete control over their function’s runtime version. It allows them to perform a rollback to a previous version. However, AWS strongly recommends using manual mode only for short-term remediation of code incompatibilities.

Eric Hammond, an AWS Hero, posted on the AWS Community social :

I’m going to stick with the default “Automatic” updates to the AWS Lambda runtime stack, because:
– I rarely update the code in my functions
– I don’t want to add more manual tasks to my life, and
– I’ve never experienced a problem with the automatic updates so far
where “so far” is over eight years of running services with AWS Lambda.

Furthermore, Ben Kehoe, an AWS Serverless Hero, tweeted:

The hardest part of serverless is giving up control. Everyone says it’s good to update your dependencies and runtime versions. It’s a *good* thing to be forced to do that. 

And additionally, he tweeted

You should know how to use this new Lambda runtime version control for emergencies, but consider it radioactive. Use a Step Function that will automatically turn it off after 1 or 2 sprints.

Lastly, more details on runtime management controls are available on the documentation page.

Article: Your Tech Stack Doesn’t Do What Everyone Needs It To. What Next?

MMS Founder
MMS Alessio Alionco

Article originally posted on InfoQ. Visit InfoQ

Key Takeaways

  • Current barriers to digital transformation include the lack of skilled developers and complex technical stacks
  • Stack extensibility significantly increases a company’s agility and competitiveness
  • Low-code BPA (Business Process Automation) can help address the challenges organisations face
  • Low-code increases process resiliency and conserves developer resources
  • There are some important factors to consider when exploring low-code options

No matter how fast technology evolves, for some businesses, they often feel one step behind. In department after department, from HR and purchasing to finance and marketing, situations exist where key software solutions don’t quite meet organizational needs. For workers, department managers and most assuredly IT, that’s a problem.

The insatiable appetite for business agility exerts enormous pressure on IT organizations to select, integrate and deploy appropriate and complete enterprise platforms. Oftentimes, however, there is a gap between what a tech stack can do, and what it should do.

Digital transformation, the initiative that has driven most IT activity for nearly a decade, has actually widened the gaps in departmental tech stacks. Digital transformation usually focuses on big-ticket implementations; it can leave behind the less visible, yet essential workflows and processes that stitch together major platforms. Adding to the situation in recent years has been the shortage of qualified developers, which makes well-connected solutions that much more difficult to achieve.

Consequently, business teams often labor with technologies that are not fully formed, fully explained, or appropriate for current work requirements. In frustration, they create their own workarounds using manual processes or ad hoc software.

Unsanctioned shadow IT solutions can produce arcane procedures, inconsistent workflows, and a lack of visibility – not to mention security and scalability issues.

When companies can’t keep up with the pace of change, they lose their status as market leaders. Speed to value declines, as rigid systems become too unwieldy and expensive to modify. Chaotic tech environments overtake what should be smooth and well-prescribed automation.

Extensibility Challenges

Stack extensibility – the ability to nimbly expand the capabilities of existing tech solutions – is an essential trait of well-designed IT ecosystems. Yet creating this important advantage isn’t easy.  

Vertical solutions solve specific problems, but are rigid; on the other hand, horizontal solutions, while more flexible, are expensive to modify. Moreover, customizing legacy components can be challenging when developers are busy elsewhere in the enterprise.

Other alternatives do exist. Many organizations purchase additional modules within the application ecosystem, hoping they will be sufficient to solve their unique problems. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a choice that, while effective at addressing specific needs, requires business teams themselves to connect – and still leaves tech stacks open to complexity and a lack of control.

Controlling the Outcome

Low-code BPA (Business Process Automation), on the other hand, has advantages that puts it at the forefront of approaches to stack extensibility. Low-code increases process resiliency by empowering business teams with an easy-to-use, easy-to-understand and, most of all, IT-sanctioned set of tools. Using these building blocks, end users can close gaps with solutions that complement and coordinate existing components, rather than competing with or complicating them.

Many IT benefits accrue to the low-code method. It conserves developer resources and reduces backlogs by enabling business teams to do much of the work on their own. It standardizes processes, which makes it easier to enforce security mandates. Because scalability is built into the low-code framework, supplemental coding is minimal.

End-users appreciate having IT-approved capabilities that allow them to make changes quickly. Instead of waiting for a custom-built solution, they are able to adapt as business needs evolve. Workflows become more relevant, more convenient, and more productive.

Tried and Tested

Leading enterprises have experienced the advantages of low-code enabled stack extensibility. Samsonite, the global luggage maker, was struggling with several gaps in its purchasing workflows. Requests were executed through email and file sharing, and departmental staff had to sift through old messages simply to find the information required to initiate purchase quotes from suppliers.

Low-code BPA ended those problems. After analyzing the procurement process to standardize procedures and make sure they adhered to both internal policies and external legal, finance and tax requirements, Samsonite’s purchasing team began creating workflows that included necessary approvals at each stage. The stack extensibility solution streamlined the request/fulfillment process, enabling purchasers and requesters to receive automatic notifications and alerts.  

Within the first five months, Samsonite was able to eliminate an estimated 2,370 hours of manual work and achieve an overall ROI of 177 percent.

“Our new system not only gives us the control we need to ensure everyone abides by our rules and policies, but it also creates an easily accessible trail for future audits,” noted Mauricio Rizzi, Samsonite’s Customer Service and Procurement Manager.

Another example is CNH, a leading industrial vehicle manufacturer based in London. CNH was dealing with a tech stack of 15 different systems implemented during its digital transformation process. A lack of integration between those systems was holding back the efficiency of the company’s People Ops department, forcing the staff to manually input, store and communicate information through email or on paper.

After adopting low-code BPA, the People Ops team was able to build and support a number of improved processes and experiences. The system gave them more ownership and flexibility than through their former, more traditional methods.

“Now I can teach any person within our People Ops organization how to use our low-code solution, and they can use it for almost any process,” said Diogo Ayres, CNH Services Designer. “It lets us provide a seamless and consistent experience for employees and candidates.”

How To Make No/Low-Code Work For You

Citizen development — when a non-technical user is able to create new applications without writing a line of code using no or low code solutions– is an impactful way to increase a team’s daily efficiency or streamline an existing business process. Citizen developers are an integral part of optimizing and scaling an organization’s operations. However, cultivating a symbiotic relationship between IT teams and citizen developers is key to ensuring success and prioritizing quality output.

IT needs to collaborate with citizen developers throughout the process to ensure maximum safety and efficiency. From the beginning, it’s important to confirm the team’s overall approach, select the right tools, establish roles, set goals, and discuss when citizen developers should ask for support from IT. Appointing a leader for the citizen developer program is a great way to help enforce these policies and hold the team accountable for meeting agreed-upon milestones.

To encourage collaboration and make citizen automation a daily practice, it’s important to work continuously to identify pain points and manual work within business processes that can be automated. IT should regularly communicate with teams across the business, finance and HR departments to find opportunities for automation, clearly mapping out what change would look like for those impacted. Gaining buy-in from other team leaders is critical, so citizen developers and IT need to become internal advocates for the benefits of automation.

Another non-negotiable ground rule is that citizen developers should only use IT-sanctioned tools platforms. This gives IT the necessary insight and ability to monitor the quality and security of new applications. IT can also set up “sandbox environments” to reduce risks and allow developers to create apps without interfering with other systems. Ultimately, IT is responsible for monitoring all citizen developer activities and application development.

To help no/low-code solutions integrate smoothly with their existing IT infrastructure, companies should:  

  • Look for software with features that support security and compliance efforts, such as SSO, MFA, and permission management.  
  • Compare software uptimes and availability, to minimize the risk of disruption.  
  • Make sure the software vendor offers appropriate support so that the IT team isn’t burdened with unnecessary maintenance. When it comes to conserving IT resources, no/low-code software that enables citizen developers and invites business users into the problem-solving process will also help cut down on the IT backlog.
  • Last but not least, consider no/low-code solutions that can handle multiple use cases across a variety of departments. Scalability and stack extensibility are cost-containment strategies that deliver the most value when solutions are easily adaptable and which integrate with a wide range of apps and systems.

Investing in the right no/low code solution is the first step, but investing in internal training and skills development is even more important. Companies need to give citizen developers the proper education, support, and resources to learn. Growth doesn’t happen overnight; IT needs to approach citizen development with patience and teamwork. Creating a collaborative learning environment also helps mitigate the risks of citizen developers pursuing shadow IT solutions or making costly mistakes.

The point of citizen development is to empower non-technical employees, not eliminate IT. While citizen development may sound like a threat to IT departments, it’s actually the opposite. Citizen development is about helping IT professionals. While it may take some time in the beginning, this investment will pay off when citizen developers are able to build and connect quality automated workflows on their own.

Foreseeing the Future

Stack extensibility, especially when enabled by low-code BPA, significantly increases the agility and competitiveness of the typical enterprise. Critical applications remain relevant and utility goes up, without custom development or the need to dive into the organization’s central (and typically most expensive) tech investments.  

Under this progressive approach, business users become partners with IT, working from the same playbook. Developer resources, always at a premium, are conserved and extended. Stakeholders are able to move quicker – and everyone’s lives are made a lot easier as a result.  

There may never be a time when technology can fully anticipate the needs of business; however, flexible, secure and easy-to-use connective solutions can make dynamic environments a lot less troublesome – and allow enterprises to move forward with confidence. With stack extensibility, IT no longer has to predict the future. Instead, it can simply plan for it.

Intel oneDAL Available in ML.NET

MMS Founder
MMS Robert Krzaczynski

Article originally posted on InfoQ. Visit InfoQ

The first preview release of ML.NET 3.0, available since December, contains the integration with Intel oneAPI Data Analytics Library that leverages SIMD extensions on 64-bit architectures, which are available on Intel and AMD processors.

ML.NET 3.0 allows importing more machine learning capabilities into existing .NET applications. This feature eliminates the need to code complex methods to generate predictive models.

Intel oneAPI Data Analytics Library helps accelerate data analysis of large datasets by providing highly optimised algorithmic building blocks for all stages of the data analysis such as preprocessing, modelling or decision-making. These blocks are independent of any communication layer. The library optimises data acquisition along with algorithmic calculations to increase scalability and throughput.

Jake Radzikowski and Luis Quintanilla mentioned in the last Machine Learning Community Standup that the ML.NET team worked closely with Intel to optimise Intel hardware, but it is also compatible with AMD CPUs. ML.NET 3.0 brings some new algorithms and improves the existing ones. The next step of the ML.NET 3.0 development will be integrating these algorithms with AutoML and Model Builder. More details about the upcoming features and improvements are accessible on the ML.NET roadmap.

oneAPI Data Analytics Library integrates with ML.NET, speeding up the training of the following trainers: L-BGFS, Ordinary Least Squares, FastTree and FastForest. L-BGFS is used for regression tasks, Ordinary Least Squares for classification and the last two for both regression and classification.

In order to start using oneAPI Data Analytics Library in ML.NET, it is necessary to install the latest Microsoft.ML 3.0 preview version and the Microsoft.ML.OneDal NuGet package. In addition, a key element is setting the MLNET_BACKEND environment variable to ONEDAL. There is also a known problem on Windows with the library loading. In order to fix this, it is necessary to add the ‘runtimes-x64native’ directory in the ‘bin’ directory of the application to the PATH environment variable.

A usage example is available on GitHub.

What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About MongoDB?

Institutions typically measure themselves against a benchmark when reporting to their own investors, so they often become more enthusiastic about a stock once it’s included in a major index. We would expect most companies to have some institutions on the register, especially if they are growing.

We can see that MongoDB does have institutional investors; and they hold a good portion of the company’s stock. This can indicate that the company has a certain degree of credibility in the investment community. However, it is best to be wary of relying on the supposed validation that comes with institutional investors. They too, get it wrong sometimes. If multiple institutions change their view on a stock at the same time, you could see the share price drop fast. It’s therefore worth looking at MongoDB’s earnings history below. Of course, the future is what really matters.
