STAR CERTIFICATION

#artificialintelligence

As a scientific field, robotics helps us build devices that can physically interact with their environment. For example, robots that work alongside us and seemingly omniscient digital assistants that we increasingly rely on to perform different tasks. The need for robotics engineer exists across industries like healthcare, transportation, insurance, logistics and even customer service. Star Robotics Pre is a foundation-level certification program that aims to help learners acquire a fundamental understanding of all the aspects of robotics including designing, prototyping, analysis, basic coding, electronic circuitry, control systems, etc. The program covers everything robotics starting from history of robotics, to classification of robots, to sensors, actuators, drivers and control systems, further to mechanical design of robots and robot operating system (ROS), and more.

An empirical study of neural networks for trend detection in time series

arXiv.org Machine Learning

We have derived theoretical maximum likelihood estimators of trends for standard dynamics and implemented them. We have reframed the problem of trend detection into a classification problem amenable to machine learning methods. We have shown that RNN are in a way a generalization of simple moving average techniques and motivated this by theory. In a simple case, we have shown that this generalization transforms the trend estimation problem into simply locating the state vector into convex polytopes cells. Finally, we have showed empirically that GRU or LSTM cells are on average the best building block to use compared to a broad range of estimators in order to detect trends in time series. Putting the emphasis on learning stylized data and then transferring to real data rather than building complex structures fitted to data is also an important takeaway of this paper. Ongoing preliminary research seems to validate our approach for financial applications. This might pave the way to building efficient market estimators protected against over-fitting.


A detailed example of data loaders with PyTorch

#artificialintelligence

Have you ever had to load a dataset that was so memory consuming that you wished a magic trick could seamlessly take care of that? Large datasets are increasingly becoming part of our lives, as we are able to harness an ever-growing quantity of data. We have to keep in mind that in some cases, even the most state-of-the-art configuration won't have enough memory space to process the data the way we used to do it. That is the reason why we need to find other ways to do that task efficiently. In this blog post, we are going to show you how to generate your data on multiple cores in real time and feed it right away to your deep learning model.


Learning Apache Mahout - Programmer Books

#artificialintelligence

In the past few years the generation of data and our capability to store and process it has grown exponentially. There is a need for scalable analytics frameworks and people with the right skills to get the information needed from this Big Data. Apache Mahout is one of the first and most prominent Big Data machine learning platforms. It implements machine learning algorithms on top of distributed processing platforms such as Hadoop and Spark. Starting with the basics of Mahout and machine learning, you will explore prominent algorithms and their implementation in Mahout development. You will learn about Mahout building blocks, addressing feature extraction, reduction and the curse of dimensionality, delving into classification use cases with the random forest and Naive Bayes classifier and item and user-based recommendation.


The top AI and machine learning conferences to attend in 2020

#artificialintelligence

While artificial intelligence may be powering Siri, Google searches, and the advance of self-driving cars, many people still have sci-fi-inspired notions of what AI actually looks like and how it will affect our lives. AI-focused conferences give researchers and business executives a clear view of what is already working and what is coming down the road. To bring AI researchers from academia and industry together to share their work, learn from one another, and inspire new ideas and collaborations, there are a plethora of AI-focused conferences around the world. There's a growing number of AI conferences geared toward business leaders who want to learn how to use artificial intelligence and related machine learning and deep learning to propel their companies beyond their competitors. So, whether you're a post-doc, a professor working on robotics, or a programmer for a major company, there are conferences out there to help you code better, network with other researchers, and show off your latest papers.


Leverage deep learning in IBM Cloud Functions

#artificialintelligence

Based on Apache OpenWhisk, IBM Cloud Functions is a Functions as a Service (FaaS) platform that makes it easy to build and deploy serverless applications. In this tutorial, you'll build a serverless application using IBM Cloud Functions that monitors the content of a Cloud Object Storage bucket and analyzes the content of images that are uploaded to the bucket by a human or an automated process. For illustrative purposes, analysis is performed by a deep learning microservice from the Model Asset eXchange and analysis results are stored as JSON files in the same bucket. You can easily adapt the outlined approach to take advantage of hosted cognitive services, such as those provided by IBM Watson, and to store results in a NoSQL datastore like Cloudant or a relational database. By completing this introductory tutorial, you learn how to monitor a Cloud Object Storage bucket for changes (new objects, updated objects, or deleted objects) using Cloud Functions and how to use deep learning microservices from the Model Asset eXchange to automatically analyze those objects in near real time.

Data Science is the Backbone of IT Industry? Futre of Data Science ?

#artificialintelligence

With the shift from analog to digital, the flow of data has increased exponentially. Data is collected from a myriad of sources like web logs, mobile devices, sensors, instruments, and transactions. At the same time, new technologies are emerging to organize and make use of this avalanche of data. But the challenge lies in how to extract value from data. This is where Data Science comes in. Data science can simply be put as the amalgamation of scientific methods, processes and systems to extract knowledge or insights from data.
