Cyber Week Steal: Save 85% On This Complete Arduino Starter Kit & Course Bundle
Admit it: At some point in your life, you've likely imagined how much easier it would be to have a personal robot or array of gadgets at your disposal--that is until you consider the hassle of going to school for an engineering degree. But now, thanks to the Arduino platform, virtually anyone can make their own robots, wearables, and more--no degree required. You can get started with the Complete Arduino Starter Kit & Course Bundle, on sale for only $72 today with code CMSAVE20. Arduino is an open-source prototyping platform that's used to create a wide range of electronics projects. Perfect for first timers, those who purchase this bundle will receive an Arduino hardware kit and access to six courses that'll show you how to use it.
It's time you think beyond engineering
I have completed Bachelor of Engineering (mechanical stream). I am currently working in the aerospace service industry and am eagerly looking forward to switching to Data Science. Two reasons behind this thought are: I am pretty good in mathematical and analytical skills, while Data Science is one of the remunerative jobs and this industry is expected to grow exponentially. What is your suggestion on this? Being a non-programming professional, can I learn Data Science?
Amazon makes its machine learning courses available for free
Amazon announced today that it's making its range of machine learning courses available to all developers signed up to its AWS platform for free. This program was previously available only to Amazon employees, but anyone can now take advantage of it at no charge by signing up to Amazon Web Services' free plan. It includes 30 courses in total, with over 45 hours of course material, videos, and lab tests. The company says its content addresses beginners, advanced developers, and everyone in between. The company is targeting four groups with this program: developers, data scientists, data platform engineers, and business professionals.
Advanced Deep Learning & Reinforcement Learning - YouTube
This course, taught originally at UCL and recorded for online access, has two interleaved parts that converge towards the end of the course. One part is on machine learning with deep neural networks, the other part is about prediction and control using reinforcement learning. The two strands come together when we discuss deep reinforcement learning, where deep neural networks are trained as function approximators in a reinforcement learning setting. The deep learning stream of the course will cover a short introduction to neural networks and supervised learning with TensorFlow, followed by lectures on convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, end-to-end and energy-based learning, optimization methods, unsupervised learning as well as attention and memory. Possible applications areas to be discussed include object recognition and natural language processing.
Deep Learning With Python for Beginners - DZone AI
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
Li, Irene, Fabbri, Alexander R., Tung, Robert R., Radev, Dragomir R.
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
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
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})$).
