Machine Learning for Cybersecurity

#artificialintelligence

This on-demand webinar covers the various ways in which artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are coming to dominate the cyber security landscape. This webinar provides you with an understanding of how the various types of machine learning techniques are being applied to cyber security and how those techniques are being tailored to solve particular problems in cyber security. It also covers why using multiple artificial intelligence or machine learning-based solutions enhances a defense-in-depth approach to security and how the fundamentals of cyber defense and offense are changing due to the greater adoption of these solutions.


Learning Data Science on R - Step by Step Guide Learning Path

#artificialintelligence

The major reason R is growing rapidly and is such a huge success, is because of its strong community. At the center of this is R's package ecosystem. These packages can be downloaded from the Comprehensive R Archive Network, or from bioconductor, github and bitbucket. At Rdocumentation you can easily search packages from CRAN, github and bioconductor that will fit your needs for the task at hand. Next to the package ecosystem R, you can also easily find help and feedback on your R endeavours. First of all there is R's built-in help system which you can access via the command?


The Business of Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

For more than 250 years the fundamental drivers of economic growth have been technological innovations. The most important of these are what economists call general-purpose technologies -- a category that includes the steam engine, electricity, and the internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine, for example, gave rise to cars, trucks, airplanes, chain saws, and lawnmowers, along with big-box retailers, shopping centers, cross-docking warehouses, new supply chains, and, when you think about it, suburbs. Companies as diverse as Walmart, UPS, and Uber found ways to leverage the technology to create profitable new business models. The most important general-purpose technology of our era is artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning (ML) -- that is, the machine's ability to keep improving its performance without humans having to explain exactly how to accomplish all the tasks it's given. Within just the past few years machine learning has become far more effective and widely available. We can now build systems that learn how to perform tasks on their own. Why is this such a big deal? First, we humans know more than we can tell: We can't explain exactly how we're able to do a lot of things -- from recognizing a face to making a smart move in the ancient Asian strategy game of Go. Prior to ML, this inability to articulate our own knowledge meant that we couldn't automate many tasks. Second, ML systems are often excellent learners.


A Web Developer's Guide to Machine Learning in JavaScript - RWieruch

#artificialintelligence

Recently, I was wondering how I could escape the web development bubble for a while. The last year was all about those subjects, so I needed a side project to escape it for a while and to get into a zen mode of learning again. How did I get to machine learning? A couple of months ago, I started to listen to the Machine Learning Guide podcast. I found out about it by chance and highly recommend it to get you an introduction for machine learning. Tyler Renelle is doing an amazing job to get you excited about the topic. I almost feel like I am following him on the same path to learn about machine learning now. Even though I didn't actively plan about learning ML, it was interesting to hear about all those foreign concepts. There it was again; this excitement when everything is unexplored. I felt like a whole new world opened up in front of me. It was the same feeling when I finally got the foot into web development. As I read about a couple of machine learning articles, the course on Machine Learning by Andrew Ng was the by far most recommended to get started in machine learning. I have never taken an online course from start to end before, even though I actively give these online courses myself, but I decided to give it a shot this time. Fortunately, the course had started one week ago. So I enrolled in it and by now finished it.


The 10 Laws of Content Marketing Mastery

#artificialintelligence

Content marketing is just two words. But it has evolved to become a complex intersection and eco-system of art and science. For many of us it is a confusing mess of different opinions and disciplines fighting for our attention. We need to distill the clutter and noise of shiny new ideas and distractions into the essential elements you need to foster and develop for content marketing mastery. These are the mindsets, habits and skill-sets you will need to develop to succeed as a content marketer in an age of machines. And you need to hug the geeks, build the robots and nurture the creatives. Here are my 10 laws for content marketing mastery. Andy Grove in his book "Only the Paranoid Survive" fosters the idea of healthy paranoia in a world that keeps changing. The internet used to be just a universe of websites. Today the smartphones rule the world. It is a web of apps and platforms. But the reality is that the digital world will keep changing. So you can never relax and and settle. We can no longer rely on one platform. Search, Facebook news feeds, the Twitter stream and even email has been disturbed.


Open Machine Learning Course. Topic 1. Exploratory data analysis with Pandas

@machinelearnbot

With this article, we, OpenDataScience, launch an open Machine Learning course. This is not aimed at developing another comprehensive introductory course on machine learning or data analysis (so this is not a substitute for fundamental education or online/offline courses/specializations and books). The purpose of this series of articles is to quickly refresh your knowledge and help you find topics for further advancement. Our approach is similar to that of the authors of Deep Learning book, which starts off with a review of mathematics and basics of machine learning -- short, concise, and with many references to other resources. The course is designed to perfectly balance theory and practice; therefore, each topic is followed by an assignment with a deadline in a week. You can also take part in several Kaggle Inclass competitions held during the course.


Principal Component Analysis in R Udemy

@machinelearnbot

Dimensionality Reduction is a category of unsupervised machine learning techniques which is used to reduce the number of features or variables of columns in a dataset. Lot of variables often enhances the noise signal in the data which is bad for modelling but Dimensionality Reduction techniques can help in this. One of the Dimensionality Reduction Technique is Principal component Analysis which creates a new feature set which are uncorrelated or orthogonal .The newly created features are called Principal components.First principal component explains the most of the variance in the data and then the next principal component explains the remaining. Principal Component analysis is helpful for any dataset which has many variables or variables which are anonymous. Principal component analysis can help in explaining the structure of the dataset or creating the groups in the data or doing the predictive analytics .

Automating IoT Machine Learning: Bridging Cloud and Device Benefits with Cloud ML Engine Solutions Google Cloud Platform

#artificialintelligence

This tutorial addresses the following scenario: A camera attached to a connected device visually identifies mechanical parts moving along a conveyor belt or other mechanism. The tutorial focuses on delivery to a camera-enabled, Linux-based IoT device, but you can build similar systems for other types of devices with different sensor inputs. Given the high reliability requirements of this application, the part detection device must continue to work even if network connectivity is interrupted. To help achieve this reliability, you train TensorFlow models on GCP but run the models locally on the connected device. The deployed model does not require cloud connectivity in order to make predictions. The model can store and transmit recorded predictions when back online. The following diagram shows a high-level view of the architecture.
