The members of the Global University Leaders Forum community convened at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2019 to discuss their role in our ever-changing world. Here are six topics that were top of the agenda as the members considered the future of the university and its role in society. Today data is omnipresent and often overwhelming. By way of example, Domo's Data Never Sleeps 6.0 reported that in 2018 Google conducted an average 3.8 million searches per minute. Though not all graduates will enter data-related fields, universities are starting to work towards increasing data literacy in their student body by adding data science courses and challenges for social science majors so that graduates can effectively communicate with their data-oriented peers and co-workers.

Banks can drive real value to their fraud prevention strategies with machine learning and analytics if they cut through the hype. Machine learning can be made intuitive and available directly to fraud experts. A multi-faceted strategy can turn fraud prevention expertise into a revenue generator for the business.

Configuring neural network models is often referred to as a "dark art." This is because there are no hard and fast rules for configuring a network for a given problem. We cannot analytically calculate the optimal model type or model configuration for a given dataset. Fortunately, there are techniques that are known to address specific issues when configuring and training a neural network that are available in modern deep learning libraries such as Keras. In this crash course, you will discover how you can confidently get better performance from your deep learning models in seven days.

Understand what Machine Learning is, how it differs from traditional programming, how to build your own predictive Artificial Intelligence and consume it from Business Central. For a decade's programmers used traditional algorithms to solve specific problems. But did you know that'if-else' is not the only way to write code? Did you know that data can be an algorithm itself! All we need is to use data in a smart way. And that's where Machine Learning can help.

Machine learning is on the rise at businesses hungry for greater automation and intelligence with use cases spreading across industries. At the same time, most projects are still in their early phases as companies learn how to deal with selecting data sets and data platforms to architecting and optimizing data pipelines. DBTA recently held a webinar with Gaurav Deshpande, VP of marketing, TigerGraph, and Prakash Chokalingam, product manager, Databricks, who discussed key technologies and strategies for dealing with machine learning. There are several trends affecting machine learning, according to Chokalingam. Companies deal with data challenges such as data corruption, read scan inefficiency, slow ingestion, schema management, data versioning and rollbacks.

In 2015 the Bank of England estimated that up to 15 million jobs were at risk of automation- scary, right! But what you don't always hear about is that it is also predicted that these new technologies will create 133 million new jobs over the next 3 years. I am personally optimistic about the coming AI revolution I believe that it has the potential to unshackle us from the traditional 9–5 working routine, and could improve our lives, and the world around us, in many areas including better healthcare, education, maybe a reduction in world poverty. The jobs of the future will be different, they will require a different skill set and a different way of thinking, and they will involve working closely with technology. Schools are still focussed heavily on teaching the traditional skills -- literacy, numeracy, and knowledge.

Finland knows it doesn't have the resources to compete with China or the United States for artificial intelligence supremacy, so it's trying to outsmart them. "People are comparing this to electricity – it touches every single sector of human life," says Nokia chairman Risto Siilasmaa. From its foundations as a pulp mill 153 years ago, Nokia is now one of the companies helping to drive a very quiet, very Finnish AI revolution. Last May, the small Scandinavian country announced the launch of Elements of AI, a first-of-its-kind online course that forms part of an ambitious plan to turn Finland into an AI powerhouse. To date, more than 130,000 people have completed the course.

Learn to design and create video games using the Java programming language and the LibGDX software library. Working through the examples in this book, you will create 12 game prototypes in a variety of popular genres, from collection-based and shoot-em-up arcade games to side-scrolling platformers and sword-fighting adventure games. With the flexibility provided by LibGDX, specialized genres such as card games, rhythm games, and visual novels are also covered in this book. Major updates in this edition include chapters covering advanced topics such as alternative sources of user input, procedural content generation, and advanced graphics. Appendices containing examples for game design documentation and a complete JavaDoc style listing of the extension classes developed in the book have also been added.

Apple's long-rumoured, much-hyped new AirPods are on their way. And they could be as big a change as when the wires dropped out of Apple's existing headphones and they were first born. Introduced in 2016, the two truly wireless earphones haven't been updated since. They came with a wide range of futuristic features – but a range of rumours have swirled around them about new updates, that would bring new and even more futuristic features. The AirPods are actually two (or three) different things: the case that protects them and the earphones that sit inside.
