Deep Learning With Python for Beginners - DZone AI

#artificialintelligence

Deep Learning is a Machine Learning method that has taken the world by storm with its capabilities. In this article, we will discuss the meaning of Deep Learning With Python. Also, we will learn why we call it Deep Learning. Moreover, this article will go through Artificial Neural Networks and Deep Neural Networks, along with Deep Learning applications. To define it in one sentence, we would say it is an approach to Machine Learning.

What Should I Learn First: Introducing LectureBank for NLP Education and Prerequisite Chain Learning

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Recent years have witnessed the rising popularity of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and related fields such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). Many online courses and resources are available even for those without a strong background in the field. Often the student is curious about a specific topic but does not quite know where to begin studying. To answer the question of "what should one learn first," we apply an embedding-based method to learn prerequisite relations for course concepts in the domain of NLP. We introduce LectureBank, a dataset containing 1,352 English lecture files collected from university courses which are each classified according to an existing taxonomy as well as 208 manually-labeled prerequisite relation topics, which is publicly available. The dataset will be useful for educational purposes such as lecture preparation and organization as well as applications such as reading list generation. Additionally, we experiment with neural graph-based networks and non-neural classifiers to learn these prerequisite relations from our dataset.

Why You Should Learn Python For Your First Programming Language

#artificialintelligence

Looking to get into programming, but don't know where to start? Maybe you've heard of some of the most popular programming languages, but you're unsure of which one is best to learn first? Python is hands-down the best language to start with if you want to learn how to program. There's a reason why 70% of introductory programming courses teach Python at US universities according to Tech Republic. Python is one of the most popular, beginner friendly languages, and it's also the first language I learned back in 2014.


Introduction to Monte Carlo Methods

#artificialintelligence

Two major classes of numerical problems that arise in data analysis procedures are optimization and integration problems. It is not always possible to analytically compute the estimators associated with a given model, and we are often led to consider numerical solutions. One way to avoid that problem is to use simulation. Monte Carlo estimation refers to simulating hypothetical draws from a probability distribution, in order to calculate significant quantities of that distribution. The basic idea of Monte Carlo consist of writing the integral as an expected value with respect to some probability distribution, and then approximated using the method of moment estimator ($E[g(X)] \approx \overline{g(X)} \dfrac{1}{n}\sum g(X_{i})$).


How to Reduce Overfitting in Deep Neural Networks Using Weight Constraints in Keras

#artificialintelligence

Weight constraints provide an approach to reduce the overfitting of a deep learning neural network model on the training data and improve the performance of the model on new data, such as the holdout test set. There are multiple types of weight constraints, such as maximum and unit vector norms, and some require a hyperparameter that must be configured. In this tutorial, you will discover the Keras API for adding weight constraints to deep learning neural network models to reduce overfitting.

How To Become A Machine Learning Engineer: Learning Path

#artificialintelligence

We will walk you through all the aspects of machine learning from simple linear regressions to the latest neural networks, and you will learn not only how to use them but also how to build them from scratch. Big part of this path is oriented on Computer Vision(CV), because it's the fastest way to get general knowledge, and the experience from CV can be simply transferred to any ML area. We will use TensorFlow as a ML framework, as it is the most promising and production ready. Learning will be better if you work on theoretical and practical materials at the same time to get practical experience on the learned material. Also if you want to compete with other people solving real life problems I would recommend you to register on Kaggle, as it could be a good addition to your resume.



Optimizing positional scoring rules for rank aggregation

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Nowadays, several crowdsourcing projects exploit social choice methods for computing an aggregate ranking of alternatives given individual rankings provided by workers. Motivated by such systems, we consider a setting where each worker is asked to rank a fixed (small) number of alternatives and, then, a positional scoring rule is used to compute the aggregate ranking. Among the apparently infinite such rules, what is the best one to use? To answer this question, we assume that we have partial access to an underlying true ranking. Then, the important optimization problem to be solved is to compute the positional scoring rule whose outcome, when applied to the profile of individual rankings, is as close as possible to the part of the underlying true ranking we know. We study this fundamental problem from a theoretical viewpoint and present positive and negative complexity results and, furthermore, complement our theoretical findings with experiments on real-world and synthetic data.
