A Gentle Introduction to Bayes Theorem for Machine Learning

#artificialintelligence

Bayes Theorem provides a principled way for calculating a conditional probability. It is a deceptively simple calculation, although it can be used to easily calculate the conditional probability of events where intuition often fails. Bayes Theorem also provides a way for thinking about the evaluation and selection of different models for a given dataset in applied machine learning. Maximizing the probability of a model fitting a dataset is more generally referred to as maximum a posteriori, or MAP for short, and provides a probabilistic framework for predictive modeling. In this post, you will discover Bayes Theorem for calculating conditional probabilities.


MUTLA: A Large-Scale Dataset for Multimodal Teaching and Learning Analytics

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Automatic analysis of teacher and student interactions could be very important to improve the quality of teaching and student engagement. However, despite some recent progress in utilizing multimodal data for teaching and learning analytics, a thorough analysis of a rich multimodal dataset coming for a complex real learning environment has yet to be done. To bridge this gap, we present a large-scale MUlti-modal Teaching and Learning Analytics (MUTLA) dataset. This dataset includes time-synchronized multimodal data records of students (learning logs, videos, EEG brainwaves) as they work in various subjects from Squirrel AI Learning System (SAIL) to solve problems of varying difficulty levels. The dataset resources include user records from the learner records store of SAIL, brainwave data collected by EEG headset devices, and video data captured by web cameras while students worked in the SAIL products. Our hope is that by analyzing real-world student learning activities, facial expressions, and brainwave patterns, researchers can better predict engagement, which can then be used to improve adaptive learning selection and student learning outcomes. An additional goal is to provide a dataset gathered from the real-world educational activities versus those from controlled lab environments to benefit educational learning community.


Predictive Analytics using Machine Learning

#artificialintelligence

Below you will read in the training and test data which are already split for you to load separately. Then use unnest() from tidytext to create the tidy version with one word per record. Now that you have train and test data loaded and tidied, you can see how many songs exist per artist/author. Since the dataset has songs and book pages, I'll refer to them each as a document. The features that you will create are based on documents and their associated metadata, so it's important to understand this concept.


Complete Machine Learning Bootcamp

#artificialintelligence

In this course we will learn and practice all the services of AWS Machine Learning which is being offered by AWS Cloud. There will be both theoretical and practical section of each AWS Machine Learning services.This course is for those who loves machine learning and would build application based on cognitive computing, AI and ML. You could integrate these services in your Web, Android, IoT, Desktop Applications like Face Detection, ChatBot, Voice Detection, Text to custom Speech (with pitch, emotions, etc), Speech to text, Sentimental Analysis on Social media or any textual data. If you have interest in machine learning as well as cloud computing then this course for you. This course will let you use your machine learning skills deploy in cloud.


Probability for Machine Learning (7-Day Mini-Course)

#artificialintelligence

Probability is a field of mathematics that is universally agreed to be the bedrock for machine learning. Although probability is a large field with many esoteric theories and findings, the nuts and bolts, tools and notations taken from the field are required for machine learning practitioners. With a solid foundation of what probability is, it is possible to focus on just the good or relevant parts. In this crash course, you will discover how you can get started and confidently understand and implement probabilistic methods used in machine learning with Python in seven days. This is a big and important post. You might want to bookmark it. Probability for Machine Learning (7-Day Mini-Course) Photo by Percita, some rights reserved.


As Testing Automation Increases, Humans Become Ever More Important – Podcast

#artificialintelligence

As DevOps matures, and the "shift-everything-left" philosophy gains ascendancy, there's a movement to automate all--or most--phases of testing. However, there are some critical functions that may resist automation. In fact, contrary to the "automate-everything" impetus, human testers won't ever go away. Indeed, human testers need to be more involved, and earlier in the development process. In this podcast, Mike Kavis and guest, Angie Jones, discuss the human aspect of testing and how humans add significant value by assessing the system as a whole, helping developers design better code, and determining the level of testing automation that should occur.


Probability for Machine Learning

#artificialintelligence

This book was designed around major ideas and methods that are directly relevant to machine learning algorithms. There are a lot of things you could learn about probability, from theory to abstract concepts to APIs. My goal is to take you straight to developing an intuition for the elements you must understand with laser-focused tutorials. I designed the tutorials to focus on how to get things done with probability. They give you the tools to both rapidly understand and apply each technique or operation. Each tutorial is designed to take you less than one hour to read through and complete, excluding the extensions and further reading. You can choose to work through the lessons one per day, one per week, or at your own pace. I think momentum is critically important, and this book is intended to be read and used, not to sit idle. I would recommend picking a schedule and sticking to it.


Coursera Python for Everybody Specialization Review JA Directives

#artificialintelligence

Coursera Python for Everybody Specialization from University of Michigan is for those who are the complete beginners to programming language and also for who have no prior programming experience. This online coursera python for everybody course helps you to learn the basics of programming using Python Programming Language. This specialization will cover the fundamental topics of how you construct a program from a simple instruction in Python. After a general introduction to programming, coursera python for everybody teaches you how to use python to extract data from the web and work with databases. It's a good demonstration of how Python can be useful for managing large datasets.


Coursera Machine Learning Review JA Directives

#artificialintelligence

Coursera Machine Learning by Andrew Ng is an online non-credit course authorized by Stanford University, to deeply understand the inner algorithms in Machine Learning. Machine learning is a core sub-area of artificial intelligence, it enables computers to get into a mode of self-learning without being explicitly programmed. When exposed to new data, these computer programs are enabled to learn, grow, change, and develop by themselves. Machine learning is so pervasive today that you probably use it dozens of times a day without knowing it. The instructor of Coursera Machine Learning is Andrew Ng.


NumPy and SciPy and Google Season of Docs, Oh My: Meet Maja Gwózdz

#artificialintelligence

A few weeks ago, I told you I'd let you know more about the behind-the-scenes action and the technical writers who are going to be working with NumPy and SciPy during Google Season of Docs. It's time to meet Maja! Maja has done some knockout research, which you can find here. She has not only had significant experience with SciPy, but she's well aware of what a difference great documentation and guides can make. Because it's so easy for technical writers to get lost in the background of a project, I wanted to take this space to let you know what she's working on in her own words. If you aren't familiar with what we're doing with NumPy and SciPy through Google Season of Docs, you can read all about it here: While I'm building a new beginner-oriented technical documentation section with NumPy, Maja is working with SciPy to restructure its existing documentation.
