Everyone who gets going in Machine Learning (and Deep Learning) gets overwhelmed by the plethora of MOOCs available. Here, I try to give a comprehensive survey of such courses available freely on the internet. You can take this post as an complementary to this and this previous posts. I will try to highlight some important pointers such as the difficulty of the courses, the correct order in which these should to be completed, the right audience for these courses. You will get a feel of how these courses give you a stack of skills in your arsenal and how you can use them to develop practical machine learning systems.

The Turing test, the quintessential evaluation designed to determine if something is a computer or a human, may have a fatal flaw, new research suggests. The test currently can't determine if a person is talking to another human being or a robot if the person being interrogated simply chooses to stay silent, new research shows. While it's not news that the Turing test has flaws, the new study highlights just how limited the test is for answering deeper questions about artificial intelligence, said study co-author Kevin Warwick, a computer scientist at Coventry University in England. "As machines are getting more and more intelligent, whether they're actually thinking and whether we need to give them responsibilities are starting to become very serious questions," Warwick told Live Science. "Obviously, the Turing test is not the one which can tease them out." The now-famous Turing test was first described by British computer scientist Alan Turing in 1950 to address questions of when and how to determine if machines are sentient.

Nasa has announced that it has found evidence of flowing water on Mars. Scientists have long speculated that Recurring Slope Lineae -- or dark patches -- on Mars were made up of briny water but the new findings prove that those patches are caused by liquid water, which it has established by finding hydrated salts. Several hundred camped outside the London store in Covent Garden. The 6s will have new features like a vastly improved camera and a pressure-sensitive "3D Touch" display

H2O is the leading open source big data machine learning platform. This talk will cover the distributed parallel in-memory data storage and compute architecture. We will then move on to examples of using H2O from R, Python, Java and Scala. Depending on interest we can also cover Deep Learning in H2O, integration of H2O into smart applications, and/or the optional integration with Spark.

Ben Dickson is a software engineer and freelance writer. He writes regularly on business, technology and politics. The transportation industry is associated with high maintenance costs, disasters, accidents, injuries and loss of life. Hundreds of thousands of people across the world are losing their lives to car accidents and road disasters every year. According to the National Safety Council, 38,300 people were killed and 4.4 million injured on U.S. roads alone in 2015.

Artificial Intelligence is the latest hotness. We've heard how bots are going to be the new apps allowing natural conversational interfaces. Siri, Cortana and Google Now are no longer a gimmick and are becoming more useful every day. Machine Learning sits behind artificial intelligence and on the surface it may seem like a deeply technical, scientific topic. We are here to tell you that it is more accessible than you think.

As a UK-focused venture capital investor, Oxford Capital is fortunate that the UK is a world leader in AI (although to avoid topical accusations of British exceptionalism, it's definitely worth mentioning that there are centres of excellence in AI and machine learning (ML) throughout Europe). We have just completed an as-yet undisclosed investment in the AI space, and we're evaluating several other opportunities. Along with taking an interest in AI companies that approach us for funding, we've mapped out recent activity in the sector across the UK. Innovation starts with talented individuals, and AI is no exception. Many of the UK's most respected universities have AI research groups, such as the Intelligent Systems group within UCL and the joint Oxford-Cambridge Strategic AI Research Centre.

The new plugin gives businesses a simple way to create and deploy customer support messenger bots; providing their customers with a real-time chat experience that combines a hybrid of AI self-service support and on-demand live agent chat. Integrated with Inbenta's powerful semantic search technology, the Chatbot Creation Platform enables a company to leverage its existing knowledge base to create the chatbot experience. The knowledge base -- or customer FAQs -- are no more than a sequence of answers to common questions; because the content is founded on natural language, the customer exchange becomes a two-way conversation. Inbenta specializes in Natural Language Processing and semantic search to improve the customer experience online through Artificial Intelligence-powered technology that helps businesses increase the efficiency of its customer service, call centers, e-Commerce, FAQs and social media platforms. Support services such as dynamic FAQs, knowledge management and and virtual assistants improve business website searches, customer self-service, and e-Commerce conversions.

Tesla has admitted that its autopilot feature was activated when one of its cars crashed on Sunday. However, the electric carmaker has suggested that the function was not being used correctly at the time. The motorist survived the accident, but another Tesla owner died in an earlier crash blamed on the driver-assist function failing to detect another vehicle in its path. Chief executive Elon Musk said Tesla had no plans to disable autopilot. However, he told the Wall Street Journal that his company would publish a blog highlighting how drivers should make use of the technology. He also tweeted that it was right that Tesla should be "taking the heat for customer safety".
