AI and big data have huge potential for China's edtech market: Ellabook · TechNode

#artificialintelligence

Ahead of the event in May, we are taking a look at some the companies and people who are taking part in the massive unconference–an open space event with organization powered by participants. TechNode is organizing the Explore Expo, an exhibition area for young tech startups looking for exposure. The education industry is generally viewed as traditional, dogmatic, and oppressive in many Asian countries, especially in China. As China's edtech sector takes off and begins to attract a deluge of investment, tech companies are exploring more ways to spice up the learning experience. "The compulsory education system is rigid," Chu Liang, CTO of Ellabook, told TechNode, "but over the past decade, technology has been transforming many industries and sectors. Ellabook (咿啦看书) is an ebook reading platform, like Kindle, but for kids from 3 to 12 years-old. The app is animated and interactive, which encompasses a wide range of learning categories like reading skills, English, mathematics, and art.


Machine Learning Crash Course From Google

#artificialintelligence

We've been talking a lot about machine learning lately. People are using it for speech generation and recognition, computer vision, and even classifying radio signals. If you've yet to climb the learning curve, you might be interested in a new free class from Google using TensorFlow. Of course, we've covered tutorials for TensorFlow before, but this is structured as a 15 hour class with 25 lessons and 40 exercises. Of course, it is also from the horse's mouth, so to speak.


Large Data and Zero Noise Limits of Graph-Based Semi-Supervised Learning Algorithms

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Scalings in which the graph Laplacian approaches a differential operator in the large graph limit are used to develop understanding of a number of algorithms for semi-supervised learning; in particular the extension, to this graph setting, of the probit algorithm, level set and kriging methods, are studied. Both optimization and Bayesian approaches are considered, based around a regularizing quadratic form found from an affine transformation of the Laplacian, raised to a, possibly fractional, exponent. Conditions on the parameters defining this quadratic form are identified under which well-defined limiting continuum analogues of the optimization and Bayesian semi-supervised learning problems may be found, thereby shedding light on the design of algorithms in the large graph setting. The large graph limits of the optimization formulations are tackled through $\Gamma$-convergence, using the recently introduced $TL^p$ metric. The small labelling noise limit of the Bayesian formulations are also identified, and contrasted with pre-existing harmonic function approaches to the problem.


From 0 to 1 : Spark for Data Science with Python

@machinelearnbot

This team has decades of practical experience in working with Java and with billions of rows of data. If you are an analyst or a data scientist, you're used to having multiple systems for working with data. With Spark, you have a single engine where you can explore and play with large amounts of data, run machine learning algorithms and then use the same system to productionize your code. Analytics: Using Spark and Python you can analyze and explore your data in an interactive environment with fast feedback. The course will show how to leverage the power of RDDs and Dataframes to manipulate data with ease.

Intro to TensorFlow Coursera

@machinelearnbot

About this course: We introduce low-level TensorFlow and work our way through the necessary concepts and APIs so as to be able to write distributed machine learning models. Given a TensorFlow model, we explain how to scale out the training of that model and offer high-performance predictions using Cloud Machine Learning Engine. Course Objectives: Create machine learning models in TensorFlow Use the TensorFlow libraries to solve numerical problems Troubleshoot and debug common TensorFlow code pitfalls Use tf.estimator to create, train, and evaluate an ML model Train, deploy, and productionalize ML models at scale with Cloud ML Engine


Introduction to Formal Concept Analysis Coursera

@machinelearnbot

About this course: This course is an introduction into formal concept analysis (FCA), a mathematical theory oriented at applications in knowledge representation, knowledge acquisition, data analysis and visualization. It provides tools for understanding the data by representing it as a hierarchy of concepts or, more exactly, a concept lattice. FCA can help in processing a wide class of data types providing a framework in which various data analysis and knowledge acquisition techniques can be formulated. In this course, we focus on some of these techniques, as well as cover the theoretical foundations and algorithmic issues of FCA. Upon completion of the course, the students will be able to use the mathematical techniques and computational tools of formal concept analysis in their own research projects involving data processing.
