Statistics with R - Intermediate Level Udemy
If you want to learn how to perform the most useful statistical analyses in the R program, you have come to the right place. Now you don't have to scour the web endlessly in order to find how to do a Pearson or Spearman correlation, an independent t test or a factorial ANOVA, how to perform a sequential regression analysis or how to compute the Cronbach's alpha. Everything is here, in this course, explained visually, step by step. So, what will you learn in this course? First of all, you will learn how to perform association tests in R, both parametric and non-parametric: the Pearson correlation, the Spearman and Kendall correlation, the partial correlation and the chi-square test for independence.
The Rise of the AI: Impact of AI and Machine Learning in Construction
The field of construction is well placed to benefit from the advent of machine learning and artificial intelligence. As part of the BIM 360 Project IQ Team at Autodesk, I've had the privilege of being a part of Autodesk's foray into machine learning for construction. This talk will focus on summarizing the developments in this space, and we'll cover some ways in which one can prepare to maximize value from this technology. The class has 2 sections. The first part provides a broad survey of some of the applications of AI and machine learning in construction, and the potential impact.
Extreme Gradient Boosting with XGBoost
Do you know the basics of supervised learning and want to learn to use state-of-the-art models on real-world datasets? Gradient boosting is currently one of the most popular techniques for efficient modeling of tabular datasets of all sizes. XGboost is a very fast, scalable implementation of gradient boosting that has taken data science by storm, with models using XGBoost regularly winning many online data science competitions and used at scale across different industries. In this course, you'll learn how to use this powerful library alongside pandas and scikit-learn to build and tune supervised learning models. You'll work with real-world datasets to solve classification as well as regression problems.
5 Brilliant Ways to Use AI in Networking
Have you ever imagined of a network that can make decisions on its own without the intervention of any human? Well AI can do that for you quite easily. You need to have good knowledge about networks and networking if you intend to use AI to transform them so that they could make their own decisions. In this article, you will learn how we can use AI to transform the world of online networking. With AI, we can design much faster networks that would work on their own.
Face Detection using OpenCV and Python.
These words send a shiver down my spine. But then again, they are the only comfort I get when I use Snapchat these days. "Why is Snapchat scaring this moron?" I don't know about you, BUT I SURE AS HELL don't enjoy sharing my bed with Casper or any other creepy ghosts that this otherworld-R.S.V.P-app has brought to my life. You see, every once in a while I'm doing my dog filter faces like a normal human being in 2017; but thenโฆ my cat stops moving and stares at the end of the roomโฆ the camera refocusesโฆ and then: it finds an invisible Dalmatian filter standing by my side. I've moved twice alreadyโฆ but NO LONGER! A buddy of mine told me to look into the field of Computer Vision โฆ It's a crazy field where machines learn how to extract useful information from images as we humans do.
Flight MH370 Latest Update: Ocean Infinity To Use Swarm Of Drone-Like AUVs
A U.S. company will be deploying the world's most advanced undersea search vessels in a renewed bid to search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which went missing on March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board. Texas-based Ocean Infinity -- which has signed a "no cure, no fee" deal with the Malaysian government to find the jetliner -- will for the first time use a swarm of eight drone-like autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to scour a remote part of the southern Indian Ocean, where the ill-fated plane is believed to have gone down. The company will be paid only if it succeeds in locating the plane, which is believed to have gone down while on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. According to the Daily Beast, Ocean Infinity will conduct the new search with the latest technology north of the original search area, where an underwater operation for more than three years yielded no concrete clues. Talking about the technology that the company will use, the Daily Beast reported that the system was being used for the first time and that while en route from the Caribbean to the search site, the command ship, Seabed Constructor, paused several times to carry out trials at depths similar to those at the Indian Ocean search site.

This package implements some basic numerical optimization algorithms: Nelder-Mead, Gradient Descent, Wolf Line Search and Non-Linear Conjugate Gradient methods are all provided. Interactive visualizations with D3 explaining how these algorithms work are also included in this package. Descriptions of the algorithms as well as most of the visualizations are available on my blog post An Interactive Tutorial on Numerical Optimization. Uses the Nelder-Mead method to minimize a function f starting at location initial. The function f should compute both the loss and the gradient.

Facebook to Open Digital Training Hubs in Europe
The U.S. company - which has faced regulatory pressure in Europe over issues ranging from privacy to antitrust - said it would open three "community skills hubs" in Spain, Poland and Italy as well as investing 10 million euros ($12.2 million) in France through its artificial intelligence research facility.
