How to Become a (Good) Data Scientist – Beginner Guide - KDnuggets

#artificialintelligence

Probability and statistics are the basis of Data Science. Statistics is, in simple terms, the use of mathematics to perform technical analysis of data. With the help of statistical methods, we make estimates for further analysis. Statistical methods themselves are dependent on the theory of probability, which allows us to make predictions. Both statistics and probability are separate and complicated fields of mathematics.

Child's play: Coding booms among Chinese children

#artificialintelligence

Wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a red T-shirt, an eight-year-old Chinese boy is logged in for an online coding lesson -- as the teacher. Vita has set up a coding tutorial channel on the Chinese video streaming site Bilibili since August and has so far garnered nearly 60,000 followers and over one million views. He is among a growing number of children in China who are learning coding even before they enter primary school. The trend has been fuelled by parents' belief that coding skills will be essential for Chinese teenagers given the government's technological drive. 'Coding's not that easy but also not that difficult -- at least not as difficult as you have imagined,' says Vita, who lives in Shanghai.


A Tutorial on Fairness in Machine Learning

#artificialintelligence

This post will be the first post on the series. The content is based on: the tutorial on fairness given by Solon Bacrocas and Moritz Hardt at NIPS2017, day1 and day4 from CS 294: Fairness in Machine Learning taught by Moritz Hardt at UC Berkeley and my own understanding of fairness literatures. I highly encourage interested readers to check out the linked NIPS tutorial and the course website. Fairness is becoming one of the most popular topics in machine learning in recent years. Publications explode in this field (see Fig1). The research community has invested a large amount of effort in this field.

ODSC East 2020 Open Data Science Conference

#artificialintelligence

ODSC is the best community data science event on the planet. There are other events that cover special topics, or industries, etc., but ODSC is comprehensive and totally community-focused: it's the conference to engage, to build, to develop, and to learn from the whole data science community. ODSC East 2020 is one of the largest applied data science conferences in the world. Our speakers include some of the core contributors to many open source tools, libraries, and languages. Attend ODSC East 2020 and learn the latest AI & data science topics, tools, and languages from some of the best and brightest minds in the field.


On Neural Learnability of Chaotic Dynamics

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Earth Signals and Systems Group, Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 91106, USA (Dated: December 12, 2019) In modeling nonlinear dynamics, neural networks are of interest for prediction and uncertainty quantification. The "learnability" of chaotic dynamics by neural networks, however, remains poorly understood. In this work, we show that a parsimonious network trained on few data points suffices for accurate prediction of local divergence rates on the whole attractor. To understand neural learnability, we decompose the mappings in the neural network into a series of geometric stretching and compressing operations that indicate topological mixing and, therefore, chaos. This reveals that neural networks and chaotic dynamical systems are structurally similar, which yields excellent reproduction of local divergence rates. To build parsimonious networks, we employ an approach that matches the spectral features of the dynamics of deep learning those of polynomial regression.


How Should We Teach Gen Z about AI?

#artificialintelligence

Blakeley H. Payne from MIT Media Lab shares her experience building a course on AI for middle-schoolers and surprising learnings along the way. For our September AI Ethics Twitter Chat, we invited Blakeley H. Payne (@BlakeleyHPayne), Researcher at MIT Media Lab to get her insights on "How should we teach Gen Z about AI?" and learn about the great course on AI she has built for middle schoolers. Let's start off with your insights on what's different or unique about Gen Z and their attitude towards tech compared to other generations? Blakeley H. Payne: A term my advisor likes to use is "AI natives." Children of this era have grown up with AI-mediated technologies since birth.
