Prediction Intervals for Machine Learning

#artificialintelligence

A prediction interval is calculated as some combination of the estimated variance of the model and the variance of the outcome variable. Prediction intervals are easy to describe, but difficult to calculate in practice. In simple cases like linear regression, we can estimate the confidence interval directly. In the cases of nonlinear regression algorithms, such as artificial neural networks, it is a lot more challenging and requires the choice and implementation of specialized techniques. General techniques such as the bootstrap resampling method can be used, but are computationally expensive to calculate. The paper "A Comprehensive Review of Neural Network-based Prediction Intervals and New Advances" provides a reasonably recent study of prediction intervals for nonlinear models in the context of neural networks.

Top Artificial Intelligence Books to Read in 2018 MarkTechPost

#artificialintelligence

A Modern Approach, 3e offers the most comprehensive, up-to-date introduction to the theory and practice of artificial intelligence. Number one in its field, this textbook is ideal for one or two-semester, undergraduate or graduate-level courses in Artificial Intelligence. In this mind-expanding book, scientific pioneer Marvin Minsky continues his groundbreaking research, offering a fascinating new model for how our minds work. He argues persuasively that emotions, intuitions, and feelings are not distinct things, but different ways of thinking. Introduction to Artificial Intelligence presents an introduction to the science of reasoning processes in computers, and the research approaches and results of the past two decades.


Fields of Programming โ€“ Coding Den โ€“ Medium

#artificialintelligence

The field of computer science is exceptionally vast and ever-expanding. It will take a lifetime to just fathom its depth, forget mastering all the diversified fields. However, it's'programming' which is ubiquitous in the various branches of computer science. Programming offers a plethora of opportunities to kick-start your professional career. Now if you dabble in the art of coding (the other term for'programming'), yet the multitude of options confuses you, pore over the following article to find your niche in computer science.


The Complete Natural Language Processing (NLP) Course

@machinelearnbot

Welcome to this course: The Complete Natural Language Processing (NLP) Course. Natural language processing (NLP) is a field of computer science, artificial intelligence and computational linguistics concerned with the interactions between computers and human (natural) languages, and, in particular, concerned with programming computers to fruitfully process large natural language corpora. Natural Language Processing (NLP) is used in many applications to provide capabilities that were previously not possible. It involves analyzing text to obtain intent and meaning, which can then be used to support an application. This comprehensive course will get you up-and-running with advanced tasks using Natural Language Processing Techniques with Python.


Data Science: Natural Language Processing (NLP) in Python

@machinelearnbot

In this course you will build MULTIPLE practical systems using natural language processing, or NLP - the branch of machine learning and data science that deals with text and speech. This course is not part of my deep learning series, so it doesn't contain any hard math - just straight up coding in Python. All the materials for this course are FREE. After a brief discussion about what NLP is and what it can do, we will begin building very useful stuff. The first thing we'll build is a spam detector.

Reinforcement Learning from scratch โ€“ Insight Data

#artificialintelligence

Recently, I gave a talk at the O'Reilly AI conference in Beijing about some of the interesting lessons we've learned in the world of NLP. While there, I was lucky enough to attend a tutorial on Deep Reinforcement Learning (Deep RL) from scratch by Unity Technologies. I thought that the session, led by Arthur Juliani, was extremely informative and wanted to share some big takeaways below. In our conversations with companies, we've seen a rise of interesting Deep RL applications, tools and results. In parallel, the inner workings and applications of Deep RL, such as AlphaGo pictured above, can often seem esoteric and hard to understand.


Data-driven Astronomy Coursera

@machinelearnbot

Science is undergoing a data explosion, and astronomy is leading the way. Modern telescopes produce terabytes of data per observation, and the simulations required to model our observable Universe push supercomputers to their limits. To analyse this data scientists need to be able to think computationally to solve problems. In this course you will investigate the challenges of working with large datasets: how to implement algorithms that work; how to use databases to manage your data; and how to learn from your data with machine learning tools. The focus is on practical skills - all the activities will be done in Python 3, a modern programming language used throughout astronomy.


Varieties of Mind Conference

#artificialintelligence

The study of artificial intelligence has frequently benefitted from close engagement with other branches of cognitive science, and computational theories of cognition have in turn contributed to models of the mind in philosophy, neuroscience, and animal cognition. However, even as we stand at the threshold of a new era of developments in artificial intelligence, disciplinary differences and disparate theoretical vocabularies still linger, and the goal of a unifying theory of human, animal, and artificial minds remains elusive. To that end, the Varieties of Mind conference aims to bring together leading researchers in psychology, animal cognition, artificial intelligence, and philosophy of mind to explore questions including the following. Please note that purchasing full conference tickets includes Public Lecture 1, Public Lecture 2, Debate 1 and Debate 2. There is no need to sign up to the other events.
