The AI Career Fair Night will be held on the evening of December 1, 2019 in Freetown, Sierra Leone. The event will feature different job opportunities across machine learning, data engineering, data visualization, and data architects. During the event, participants could attend professional lectures on career-related topics. In the Mentor Corner, participants could seek guidance on career development issues, from developing professional competencies to job interviewing. Our mentors included HR professionals, data analysts and executives.

If you've ever attended an AI conference, I bet you passed under the placid gaze of a chrome-plated humanoid, lovingly selected from an ocean of creepy robot stock images that marketing teams can't resist pasting on every billboard these days. Clearly, I'm personally guilty of using octarine-blue sci-fi art to lure weary travelers to my blog. It certainly works, which is why it's a pity that those images have next to nothing to do with AI. Robots are very exciting but mostly useless. Today's AI is mostly boring but very useful.

Estonia is a pioneer in digital initiatives. The Estonian government-initiated AI strategy counts with over 20 machine learning-based solutions live in the Estonian public sector. In Estonia, citizens are always the owners of their own data. None of this comes as a surprise, though, in a country which has been named the most advanced digital society in the world by many. Below, the opening to the third annual Tallinn Digital Summit that took place on September 16 - 17.

Some stood in front of posters, which wound around the tree's sprawling roots, depicting machine learning systems that promised to predict everything from soil nutrition, to whether a small-scale farmer would repay a loan, to how a self-driving car might navigate the bustling streets of Cairo. Over the last three years, academics and industry researchers from around the African continent have begun sketching the future of their own A.I. industry at a conference called Deep Learning Indaba. The conference brings together hundreds of researchers from more than 40 African countries to present their work, and discuss everything from natural language processing to A.I. ethics. Founded in 2017, Indaba is a direct response to Western academic conferences, which are often difficult for researchers from distant parts of the world to access. Take, for instance, the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems, the most well-known meeting dedicated to artificial neural networks.

Researchers from Google AI (formerly Google Research) and Toyota Technological Institute of Chicago have created ALBERT, an AI model that achieves state-of-the-art results that exceed human performance. ALBERT now claims first place on major NLP performance leaderboards for benchmarks like GLUE and SQuAD 2.0, and high RACE performance score. On the Stanford Question Answering Dataset benchmark (SQUAD), ALBERT achieves a score of 92.2, on General Language Understanding Evaluation (GLUE) benchmark, ALBERT achieves a score of 89.4, and on ReAding Comprehension from English Examinations (RACE) benchmark, ALBERT gets a score of 89.4%. ALBERT is a version of Transformer-based BERT that "uses parameter reduction techniques to lower memory consumption and increase the training speed of BERT," according to a paper published on OpenReview.net The paper was published alongside other papers being considered for publication as part of the International Conference of Learning Representations, which will take place in April 2020 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

A whole bunch of fresh info on Microsoft Flight Simulator has come up thanks to a recent preview event, and that includes some notable detail on how the game's cloud tech actually shapes the world you're flying around. In short, the answer to the obvious question is yes: you can totally seek out and fly by your house in-game. That's a pretty simple idea in concept, but making it happen requires a combination of satellite imagery – pulled from Microsoft's own Bing maps – and cloud processing – similarly built from Microsoft's Azure tech. It all works together through the process of photogrammetry, which interprets two-dimensional imagery into three-dimensional game objects. So as long as you're connected to Microsoft servers, you will find the entirety of the real world recreated in the simulator, down to the last detail.

In Part 1 of a 3-part series, Marcell Vollmer, chief digital officer at SAP Ariba, shares his take on where digital procurement is headed. What is the role of e-procurement in B2B e-commerce and what is the role of the chief procurement officer? Vollmer: Procurement has earned an unfair reputation of being a complicated process, but let's break it down simply here. Procurement's role in B2B e-commerce is to streamline the purchasing process and ensure that businesses get the right goods and services that meet all of their specifications, from a corporate-approved vendor, for the right price. Call this the golden triangle of procurement.

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) has a celestial ambition. The project aims to discover the origins of the universe through the lens of the world's largest radio telescope. The telescope will search outer space for signals travelling through the cosmos and could reveal how the first stars and galaxies were formed after the big bang and the nature of the mysterious force of dark energy. It may even answer the question that humans have pondered since the dawn of civilisation: are we alone in the universe? It will also provide the scientific foundations for more practical applications.

Posting the landscapes of drone strikes to Instagram: Follow Dronestagram (also on Tumblr and Twitter). These are the names of places. They are towns, villages, junctions and roads. They are the names of places where people live and work, where there are families and schools. They are the names of places in Afghanistan and Yemen, which are linked by one thing: they have each been the location of drone strikes in the past couple of months.
