Common Machine Learning Mistakes and how to fix them?
Machine Learning helps the companies to derive more accurate data which allows them to take better decisions. Proper approach to Machine Learning also enables the organization's to address the problems and errors that the early traditional approaches couldn't. But we should also know that Machine Learning is not some sort of magic and it too has some problems that need to be addressed. In this article we are going to focus on the common mistakes of machine learning and also know how to fix those mistakes. Deep analytics knowledge is a crucial part in Machine Learning. In this case, employees with good analytical knowledge becomes more important.
AI in the Family: how to teach machine learning to your kids - KDnuggets
As we collectively experience the increasing pervasiveness of machine learning algorithms that drive so many services and functions in our society, it is clear to us that a new workforce of specialized programmers and computer scientists exist behind this reality. You may even be one of these wunderkinds who expanded your early coding education to include the development of learning algorithms for enhancing existing software applications or creating entirely new deep learning systems. Or, you may be an "older-kinder" who quickly circled back to catch the wave of AI excitement to coral it into your well-honed development tool kit. Either way, while the current generation of programmers is running with machine learning trends, the next round of professionals who will fill our shoes โ those young ones who are learning PowerPoint and Common Core math in grade school today โ are experiencing AI as something that isโฆ just already something normal. AI-powered digital voice assistants are commonplace in homes, and kids are thrilled to ask what the weather is today repeatedly or to have the device tell a joke.There are people behind this magic, of course, and the fad of learning this trade could become just that if we don't consider how to ensure a pipeline of future machine learning developers to carry our torch.
How to make friends and influence people in the age of AI
In this session, you will learn how to become an influencer in the age of AI. In what ways do commercially and politically motivated entities use algorithms to reach and influence their audiences? Why should you always design your message and choose your channel to fit the algorithms? How can you reach different filter bubbles? How can you reduce the toxicity of a conversation?
NEU Meta-Learning and its Universal Approximation Properties
Kratsios, Anastasis, Hyndman, Cody
We introduce a new meta-learning procedure, called non-Euclidean upgrading (NEU), which learns algorithm-specific geometries by deforming the ambient space until the algorithm can achieve optimal performance. We prove that these deformations have several novel and semi-classical universal approximation properties. These deformations can be used to approximate any continuous, Borel, or modular-Lebesgue integrable functions to arbitrary precision. Further, these deformations can transport any data-set into any other data-set in a finite number of iterations while leaving most of the space fixed. The NEU meta-algorithm embeds these deformations into a wide range of learning algorithms. We prove that the NEU version of the original algorithm must perform better than the original learning algorithm. Moreover, by quantifying model-free learning algorithms as specific unconstrained optimization problems, we find that the NEU version of a learning algorithm must perform better than the model-free extension of the original algorithm. The properties and performance of the NEU meta-algorithm are examined in various simulation studies and applications to financial data.
Machine Learning 102: Support Vector Machine - Princeton Public Library
In this course series we will discuss how to create and assess machine learning models. Students must have knowledge of basic statistics and basic linear algebra and Python programming. Please attend all classes within the series (101 and 102) and consider bringing a laptop. This program is in partnership with Princeton School of AI. Registration is limited to 30.
Using Feedback from Teachers, Students, and Platform Analytics to Generate Intelligent and Adaptive Content Recommendations
We explored the need for automated curriculum alignment in crisis contexts, and the possible role of artificial intelligence (AI) in recognizing curricular mandates and patterns, and recommending pertinent educational content in return. This work is part of a broader collaboration working with refugees and partner organizations to explore utilizing digital education to support learning in these contexts. The experience of engaging our professional communities in such a challenging question was as valuable as the outputs themselves, so we've been sharing the discussions and debates we've had as they may be useful in other's work. Over the past month, the Design2Align blog post series has covered topics such as contextual display and creation of metadata, teacher-generated content annotations, technical considerations in OER for curriculum alignment facilitation, and open models for just-in-time learning pathway recommendations. Today, Learning Equality's UX Design Lead, Jessica Aceret talks about the specific curriculum needs for crisis contexts, and how it requires not only a human touch but also an alignment tool that provides intelligent content recommendations so that the relevant resources can be more easily found. The Design Sprint on Curriculum Alignment in Crisis Contexts, which took place back in March, in Paris, saw many different roles in the education technology space strategically brought together -- curriculum designers, policymakers, technology experts, refugees, and more.
Digitizing educational standards to make learning materials reusable across countries
Consider a refugee population coming from country C residing in host country B, with limited or no access to education. The trauma of conflict and displacement, coupled with the difficulty of integration within the host country puts refugee populations at a significant educational disadvantage, so it is worthwhile considering options that could "level the playing field" by providing improved access to education. There is hope that the vast amounts of Open Educational Resources (OER) that are freely available on the internet can play a role in this, in particular in combination with educational platforms like Kolibri. The Kolibri platform aims to provide access to learning opportunities for all and it is particularly suited for the refugee context as the runs-anywhere capabilities of the Kolibri applications allow it to be accessed in computer labs, in the classroom, from phones, and in informal learning centres. Our experience and work with partners like UNHCR have shown that in emergency and crisis contexts, a key bottleneck is the lack of sufficient educational content aligned to the learning goals of the project.
