Marion Mulder on LinkedIn: "Want to learn more about AI? Learn from the best: Andrew Ng has just launched a new course on coursera. #AI"

#artificialintelligence

AI For Everyone will launch on February 28th! This non-technical course will teach you the language of AI, how to plan and execute successful AI projects, and how to drive AI adoption in your company. This course is taught by deeplearning.ai


Cluster Analysis and Unsupervised Machine Learning in Python

#artificialintelligence

Cluster analysis is a staple of unsupervised machine learning and data science. It is very useful for data mining and big data because it automatically finds patterns in the data, without the need for labels, unlike supervised machine learning. In a real-world environment, you can imagine that a robot or an artificial intelligence won't always have access to the optimal answer, or maybe there isn't an optimal correct answer. You'd want that robot to be able to explore the world on its own, and learn things just by looking for patterns. In this course we are first going to talk about clustering.


How to make the most out of machine learning by investing in people and technology

#artificialintelligence

It shouldn't just fall on businesses to address the talent shortage issue โ€“ universities have a role to play too. It is encouraging to see that universities are adding more machine learning and data science courses every day, with some making these new disciplines part of core curricula for certain degrees. But it shouldn't stop there โ€“ while academia provides students with theoretical training, enterprises can provide insight and experience based on real-world business problems. Businesses should step in by working with universities to help students gain practical, on-the-job experience. One way of doing this is to make work experience a course requirement. Progressive universities make it compulsory for students taking these courses to spend a semester working for a company in a relevant field.


Deep Learning: CNNs for Visual Recognition

#artificialintelligence

Learn Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Recognition and the building blocks and methods associated with them. Deep Learning has made some huge and significant contributions and it's one of the mostly adopted techniques in order to drive insights from your data nowadays. Convolutional neural networks have gained a special status over the last few years as an especially promising form of deep learning. Rooted in image processing, convolutional layers have found their way into virtually all subfields of deep learning, and are very successful for the most part. Convolutional Neural Networks are very similar to ordinary Neural Networks: they are made up of neurons that have learnable weights and biases.


Theorizing from Data by Peter Norvig (Video Lecture)

#artificialintelligence

Here is a video lecture by Google's Director of Research - Peter Norvig. The full title of this lecture is "Theorizing from Data: Avoiding the Capital Mistake". In 1891 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle said that "it is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data." These words still remain true today. In this talk Peter gives insight into what large amounts of data can do for problems in language understanding, translation and information extraction.

Tutorial on Outlier Detection in Python using the PyOD Library

#artificialintelligence

My latest data science project involved predicting the sales of each product in a particular store. There were several ways I could approach the problem. But no matter which model I used, my accuracy score would not improve. I figured out the problem after spending some time inspecting the data โ€“ outliers! This is a commonly overlooked mistake we tend to make.


Can Artificial Intelligence in Education Improve Social Mobility? - The Tech Edvocate

#artificialintelligence

Education was traditionally seen as an enabler of social mobility. In other words, if you were from a low-income family, you could improve your financial and social standing by getting an education. And for a while, it worked, but inequality is on the rise again. These days, college and university degrees are, at least in developed countries, a dime a dozen and you need a postgraduate qualification to get an entry-level position. The advantage of education to boost social mobility is more noticeable in developing countries where the demand for highly educated individuals outstrips the supply.


How small businesses can get a headstart with the AI revolution

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly a part of how businesses stay competitive โ€“ they're using it to predict customer behaviour, automate tasks, personalise customer experiences, manage supply chains and more. And AI-powered technology isn't just for large enterprises โ€“ many small businesses are also enjoying the benefits of AI. It comes as no surprise that nearly three-quarters of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) will invest in software and apps over the next year, according to a 2018 Vistage survey. But would you have guessed that โ€“ along with CRM โ€“ AI tops the list of technologies that SMBs are planning to invest in? At Dreamforce 2018, Vistage's Chief Research Officer, Joe Galvin, shared the whats, hows and whys of AI for small and medium-sized businesses in the session'Customer Insights: How AI Is Revolutionising SMBs Today'.


Workshop on artificial intelligence and machine learning - Times of India

#artificialintelligence

Gujarat Techological University (GTU) in association with IIT Kanpur organised a two day workshop on artificial intelligence, deep learning, block chain and machine learning. The workshop was attended by students and professors from both Gujarat and Rajasthan. This course will be available both online and offline said GTU, VC, Navin Sheth during the workshop. "To keep the pace with rapidly changing technologies, Gujarat Technological University (GTU) is planning to launch Diploma and Certificate courses on Emerging Technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Block Chain etc. both offline & online. More Skill Development initiatives will be launched for making them more employable. More Faculty Development Programs are being planned for providing training about the latest aspects."
