The Department of Computer Science at Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) is delighted to announce the launch of a new full-time master's degree in Artificial Intelligence (AI). This innovative programme provides a technical deep-dive into the area of AI. The programme aims to produce AI engineers with a highly relevant skillset in AI topics. Students will learn how to use and develop intelligent computer systems that can learn from experience, recognise patterns in vast amounts of data and reason strategically in complex decision-making situations. The programme content will deliver a comprehensive range of topics integral to the study of AI.

Adelyn, Marlene, and I had the honor of being invited to speak at CES 2018 about our book, Applied Artificial Intelligence: A Handbook For Business Leaders. Other authors featured in our cohort this year included John Grisham and Stephen Wolfram. In the past, Deepak Chopra and Alexis Ohanian have spoken on stage about their work. We were extremely lucky to have Cindy Stevens, Senior Director of Publications for the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), be our interviewer. She and the rest of the CTA team made what could have been a high-pressure situation feel streamlined and relaxed. We're excited to present our CES 2018 book interview along with the transcript of the event below: CS (Cindy Stevens): Welcome to Gary's book club at CES 2018. Today, we're going to talk about artificial intelligence and how it is being integrated into product across the CES show floor. I know you have already seen a lot of that already. AI promises to improve our lives tremendously but many of you may be wondering what AI means for your business.

This tutorial is a gentle introduction to building modern text recognition system using deep learning in 15 minutes. It will teach you the main ideas of how to use Keras and Supervisely for this problem. This guide is for anyone who is interested in using Deep Learning for text recognition in images but has no idea where to start. We are going to consider simple real-world example: number plate recognition. This is a good start point and you can easily customize it for your task.

Intel is coming to your University with a new workshop on Machine and Deep Learning. You're invited to join the event to learn about Machine Learning & Deep Learning Fundamentals, train with a step-by-step live development workshop and more. During this afternoon, you will develop your AI skills, learn about exciting new AI projects and meet other like-minded AI enthusiasts & Intel experts. Register now to save your seat!

I am looking for a series of videos that I can use to learn Pytorch. I found out that there are some presentations, but any recommended videos to go through Deep Learning tutorials with Pytorch would be appreciated.

We would love to learn Machine Learning and welcome anyone who wants to learn the same with us!! It is not an instructor-led session - instead a self teaching session where we all can discuss and teach each other. We will be arranging for some basic machine learning material to use as a guide through the learning process.

I was reading this interesting paper on importance weighted active learning: http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/ I'm trying to implement a basic example of active learning using sklearn. I'm looking at how to implement the "implicit" version. However, I don't understand the meaning of "If learn(S (xt, 1)) and learn(S (xt, 0)) both return an answer". Is there anyone who can shed some light or point me to resources that'll help me implement importance weighted active learning?

Nintendo have shared a couple of instructional videos on their YouTube channel. The videos present and explain the possibilities of the upcoming Variety and Robot Nintendo Labo kits. Nintendo have announced their Labo kits back in January, and now we have some more info about them thanks to a couple of instructional videos. The home-built kits made out of cardboard will interact with the Switch to make some interesting creations. The three videos were shared on Nintendo Labo's YouTube channel, and they detail the contents of the kits as well as what you can use them for.

The first event will feature Yann LeCun, Facebook's director of AI research and a member of the New York University faculty. LeCun will inaugurate the series on Tuesday, February 20, 2018, from 10 to 11 am in Downtown Brooklyn, at NYU Tandon's Pfizer Auditorium, 5 MetroTech Center. Registration is free and open to all. His address, "Obstacles to Deep Learning and AI," will explore a new frontier: predictive models that capture the "common sense" exhibited by humans and animals, who often learn by observation and occasional action. LeCun's pioneering work in the application of neural networks to computer vision and other AI areas led to products and services deployed across most technology companies.

For the first time in India, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has given up to 20 credits for subjects like artificial intelligence, internet of things, machine learning and robotics. In December 2017, the AICTE had revised the curriculum for the four year undergraduate (BTech) program. AI, robotics and IoT had been made mandatory from academic year 2018-19. In a move which is being clearly welcomed by academicians as well as students, over 80 percent of all the technical and engineering colleges in India have agreed to follow the new curriculum as well as the grading system. Now, this new move by AICTE is being hailed by everyone as the students are hoping to get better placements, and employers are expecting to hire more industry-relevant workforce.
