Learn To Build Your Own Neural Networks With This Training Bundle

#artificialintelligence

Science fiction movies seem to have done Artificial Intelligence (AI) a bit of a disservice. Due to decades of popular yet farfetched sci-fi releases, when most people think of AI, they think only of evil robots taking over the planet, or perhaps friendlier (but still evil, maybe?) robots along the lines of the robot-woman in Ex Machina. In many ways, however, real-life artificial intelligence has become more interesting than in the movies, with self-driving cars redefining transportation, quantum computing reshaping how we work with large sets of data, and medical robots performing some of the most advanced surgeries known to man with astounding precision. Indeed, the future of technology in many ways belongs to AI. This means that the most exciting and important careers of the future will belong to those who possess a solid understanding of both deep learning and artificial intelligence principles.

A Review of 40 Years of Cognitive Architecture Research: Core Cognitive Abilities and Practical Applications

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In this paper we present a broad overview of the last 40 years of research on cognitive architectures. Although the number of existing architectures is nearing several hundred, most of the existing surveys do not reflect this growth and focus on a handful of well-established architectures. Thus, in this survey we wanted to shift the focus towards a more inclusive and high-level overview of the research on cognitive architectures. Our final set of 84 architectures includes 49 that are still actively developed, and borrow from a diverse set of disciplines, spanning areas from psychoanalysis to neuroscience. To keep the length of this paper within reasonable limits we discuss only the core cognitive abilities, such as perception, attention mechanisms, action selection, memory, learning and reasoning. In order to assess the breadth of practical applications of cognitive architectures we gathered information on over 900 practical projects implemented using the cognitive architectures in our list. We use various visualization techniques to highlight overall trends in the development of the field. In addition to summarizing the current state-of-the-art in the cognitive architecture research, this survey describes a variety of methods and ideas that have been tried and their relative success in modeling human cognitive abilities, as well as which aspects of cognitive behavior need more research with respect to their mechanistic counterparts and thus can further inform how cognitive science might progress.


How To Implement Machine Learning Algorithm Performance Metrics From Scratch With Python

@machinelearnbot

This article was written by Jason Brownlee. Jason is the editor-in-chief at MachineLearningMastery.com.He has a Masters and PhD in Artificial Intelligence, has published books on Machine Learning and has written operational code that is running in production. After you make predictions, you need to know if they are any good. There are standard measures that we can use to summarize how good a set of predictions actually are. Knowing how good a set of predictions is, allows you to make estimates about how good a given machine learning model of your problem, In this tutorial, you will discover how to implement four standard prediction evaluation metrics from scratch in Python.


Key considerations of AI, IoT and digital transformation - IoT Agenda

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence, the internet of things and digital transformation have been popular subjects over the last year. A quick scan of your favorite tech publication will likely result in multiple stories covering all three of these concepts as companies across the globe embrace them. The Internet of Things (IoT) world may be exciting, but there are serious technical challenges that need to be addressed, especially by developers. In this handbook, learn how to meet the security, analytics, and testing requirements for IoT applications. You forgot to provide an Email Address.


[P] Hand Gesture Recognition with Python, OpenCV and Keras Demo โ€ข r/MachineLearning

@machinelearnbot

I'll be posting all code and relevant files soon, this demo is part of a tutorial series I'm doing at my university. I'll probably do a twitch stream and eventually YouTube playlist if people like it. Edit: to answer the question I believe in this particular demo I used KCF to track. For gestures I used a convolutional neural net which is both overkill and not the fastest solution, but part of the tutorial is machine learning.

In addition to helping you protect your Azure resources, Security Center also protects servers and VMs running on-premises and in other cloud platforms like AWS and GCP. Azure has uniquely built-in security management that helps improve your productivity with native intelligence systems, like machine learning based recommendations and threat information sourced from the Microsoft Intelligent Security Graph.


Learning Path: R: Real-World Data Mining With R

@machinelearnbot

Packt's Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before Data mining is a growing demand on the market as the world is generating data at an increasing pace. R is a popular programming language for statistics. It is very useful for day-to-day data analysis tasks. Data mining is a very broad topic and takes some time to learn. This Learning Path will help you to understand the mathematical basics quickly, and then you can directly apply what you've learned in R.


Introduction to LSTMs with TensorFlow

#artificialintelligence

Note: Readers can access the code for this tutorial on GitHub. Long short-term memory (LSTM) networks have been around for 20 years (Hochreiter and Schmidhuber, 1997), but have seen a tremendous growth in popularity and success over the last few years. LSTM networks are a specialized type of recurrent neural network (RNN)--a neural network architecture used for modeling sequential data and often applied to natural language processing (NLP) tasks. The advantage of LSTMs over traditional RNNs is that they retain information for long periods of time, allowing for important information learned early in the sequence to have a larger impact on model decisions made at the end of the sequence. In this tutorial, we will introduce the LSTM network architecture and build our own LSTM network to classify stock market sentiment from messages on StockTwits.


Fundamentals of Fluid Power Coursera

@machinelearnbot

This week is entirely devoted to you learning how to use Simscape Fluids (formerly SimHydraulics), the fluid power simulation application that we use in the course. The lecture provides an introduction to computer-based, object-oriented simulation, and goes through a demo of using Simscape Fluids. The homework assignment contains the real work because this is where you will learn to use Simscape Fluids. The homework ends with an open-ended problem that encourages you to branch out on your own and create and run simulations based on examples listed in the course Simscape Fluids resource page or on any other fluid power system that interests you. We will be monitoring the discussion boards to help you with any technical problems with Simscape Fluids.
