A Unified Framework for Lifelong Learning in Deep Neural Networks
Ling, Charles X., Bohn, Tanner
Humans can learn a variety of concepts and skills incrementally over the course of their lives while exhibiting an array of desirable properties, such as non-forgetting, concept rehearsal, forward transfer and backward transfer of knowledge, few-shot learning, and selective forgetting. Previous approaches to lifelong machine learning can only demonstrate subsets of these properties, often by combining multiple complex mechanisms. In this Perspective, we propose a powerful unified framework that can demonstrate all of the properties by utilizing a small number of weight consolidation parameters in deep neural networks. In addition, we are able to draw many parallels between the behaviours and mechanisms of our proposed framework and those surrounding human learning, such as memory loss or sleep deprivation. This Perspective serves as a conduit for two-way inspiration to further understand lifelong learning in machines and humans.
Darema Lecture Series Begins With Georgia Tech's Judy Hoffman
The Illinois Institute of Technology College of Science is pleased to announce the establishment of the Dr. Frederica Darema Lecture Series in Computer Science. This permanent fund will help advance female and minority early-stage computer science researchers at U.S. academic institutions. The lecture series is designed to encourage women and individuals from under-represented groups to pursue academic careers in computer sciences, and focuses on providing speaking opportunities for tenure track assistant professors (or the equivalent) at U.S. institutions in their fourth to sixth year. Lectureships may also be awarded to exceptional junior researchers in U.S. federal or industrial research laboratories in their third to fifth years of career, following doctoral/postdoctoral studies. Artificial Intelligence researcher Judy Hoffman, assistant professor in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech, will be the inaugural guest speaker for the Frederica Darema Lecture Series giving a lecture on "How Dataset Bias Leads to Learned Model Failures."
Data Science and Machine Learning Platforms: Build or Buy?
As enterprises across all industries embrace the potential of data science and machine learning, they will inevitably face the challenges of operationalizing these processes in their technical environments. They will need to be strategic in choosing investments that align with their objectives. The question of building a bespoke solution versus purchasing a vendor's platform that accommodates the needs of many is a decision that will be debated in earnest. If you've decided your business is ready for a Data Science and Machine Learning platform, join us for this interactive webinar. We'll examine: -How to determine the baseline requirements for a Data Science platform -What to consider before you decide which path to pursue -Helpful resources to guide you through the decision process
Ways To Utilize Chatbots In Education
Technology has had an impact on all industries, to at least some extent. Some industries, it's hand is felt more strongly than others, of course, but the continued adoption of technology for industry is inevitable and exciting. One industry with a slightly strange relationship to technology is education. Technology isn't as inherently suited to education as it is to, say, medicine, but that doesn't mean that there isn't room for it to have an enormous impact. It just requires some more creativity.
Using Artificial Intelligence to Boost Student Retention Rates
Universities are also using predictive analytics to identify students that might struggle socially or academically during the first year. TIMES reports that Georgia State has analyzed 2.5 million grades of former students to find out what may cause a student to fail in their studies. The university developed an early warning system that triggers alerts when students are struggling, so they can be helped before they fail. Georgia State discovered from their data that how students fare in the first course in their majors can predict whether or not they will graduate. For instance, 85% of political science majors who get an A or B end up earning degrees, but only 25% of those who score a C or lower will graduate.
Building Chatbots with Python - Programmer Books
This book begins with an introduction to chatbots where you will gain vital information on their architecture. You will then dive straight into natural language processing with the natural language toolkit (NLTK) for building a custom language processing platform for your chatbot. With this foundation, you will take a look at different natural language processing techniques so that you can choose the right one for you. The next stage is to learn to build a chatbot using the API.ai platform and define its intents and entities. During this example, you will learn to enable communication with your bot and also take a look at key points of its integration and deployment.
ML Conference 2019 in Berlin, Germany - The Conference for Machine Learning Innovation
Making sense of your data is becoming key for every modern predictive business. At ML Conference you will develop a deep understanding of your data, as well as of the latest tools and technologies. Learn from seasoned experts which methods, libraries, services, models and algorithms to use and, crucially, hear their war stories of training cutting edge machine learning algorithms. Make machine learning central to your business model: join ML Conference to gain key knowledge and skills for this new era of data driven business.
Intro to Machine Learning with scikit-learn webinar with Ted Petrou
One of the most common tasks during a data analysis is to select some subset of the data. In pandas, you can select data by row/column label or integer location as well as with conditional logic applied to the values. Although this is a rather simple task, pandas offers multiple ways to complete it, which causes confusion to the novice user. In this part, you will be given very clear instruction on what are best practices for subset selection. You will also learn what methods of subset selection you should avoid.
