AI assisted content classification for corporate learning & knowledge base - Software Technology Blog
There is no shortage of training content for employees. However, quick access to the right information is the challenge. Traditionally, the L&D departments spend significant time on instructor-led training and aggregating and buying third-party training content. Other learning avenues, like on-the-job training, personalized training, micro-learning, and data or event-driven training programs are equally important. Employees today learn from content spread across internal and external systems including intranets, MooC platforms, LMS, social media platforms, external training content providers, document management systems, collaboration platforms, and even forums, Q&A portals, email and messenger/ chat platforms.

Skills are the new currency in the changing world of work
By 2025 about 48% of all job opportunities in Europe will need to be filled by people with qualifications beyond high school level. Indeed we don't even need to look so far ahead into the future. Currently, skills among the EU's workforce fall about one-fifth short of what is needed for workers to carry out their jobs at their highest productivity level. A sizeable share of the EU workforce โ four in 10 adult employees โ feel that their skills are underutilised while about four in 10 EU employers struggle to find the right skills when recruiting[1]. The skills gap has a significant economic impact on both workers and businesses.

Gradient-based Adaptive Markov Chain Monte Carlo
Titsias, Michalis K., Dellaportas, Petros
We introduce a gradient-based learning method to automatically adapt Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) proposal distributions to intractable targets. We define a maximum entropy regularised objective function, referred to as generalised speed measure, which can be robustly optimised over the parameters of the proposal distribution by applying stochastic gradient optimisation. An advantage of our method compared to traditional adaptive MCMC methods is that the adaptation occurs even when candidate state values are rejected. This is a highly desirable property of any adaptation strategy because the adaptation starts in early iterations even if the initial proposal distribution is far from optimum. We apply the framework for learning multivariate random walk Metropolis and Metropolis-adjusted Langevin proposals with full covariance matrices, and provide empirical evidence that our method can outperform other MCMC algorithms, including Hamiltonian Monte Carlo schemes.

The field of astronomy has arrived at a turning point in terms of size and complexity of both datasets and scientific collaboration. Commensurately, algorithms and statistical models have begun to adapt --- e.g., via the onset of artificial intelligence --- which itself presents new challenges and opportunities for growth. This white paper aims to offer guidance and ideas for how we can evolve our technical and collaborative frameworks to promote efficient algorithmic development and take advantage of opportunities for scientific discovery in the petabyte era. We discuss challenges for discovery in large and complex data sets; challenges and requirements for the next stage of development of statistical methodologies and algorithmic tool sets; how we might change our paradigms of collaboration and education; and the ethical implications of scientists' contributions to widely applicable algorithms and computational modeling. We start with six distinct recommendations that are supported by the commentary following them. This white paper is related to a larger corpus of effort that has taken place within and around the Petabytes to Science Workshops (https://petabytestoscience.github.io/).
A Gentle Introduction to Monte Carlo Sampling for Probability
Monte Carlo methods are a class of techniques for randomly sampling a probability distribution. There are many problem domains where describing or estimating the probability distribution is relatively straightforward, but calculating a desired quantity is intractable. This may be due to many reasons, such as the stochastic nature of the domain or an exponential number of random variables. Instead, a desired quantity can be approximated by using random sampling, referred to as Monte Carlo methods. These methods were initially used around the time that the first computers were created and remain pervasive through all fields of science and engineering, including artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Artificial Intelligence in logistics: examples, opportunities, risks
In this article you will learn what Artificial Intelligence is, how it works and what opportunities it offers for logistics and supply chain management! AI provides for increasing process efficiencies, supplies most accurate prediction models and enables an unprecedented ability to adapt to changing markets - no surprise that last year more than $ 40 billion were invested in the research of Artificial Intelligence globally. Many people regard it as one of the most important growth drivers for logistics over the next few years and as the most important key to competitiveness. Definition of Artificial Intelligence: The term Artificial Intelligence refers to the ability of machines to interpret different problems and to independently develop suitable solutions. Instead of working through rigid algorithms AI-Machines make their decisions afterwards and can therefore acquire a well-founded wealth of experience. With its help, they can develop ever better solutions and even make predictions.
