Bill Gates Is Wrong: The Solution to AI Taking Jobs Is Training, Not Taxes

#artificialintelligence

Let's take a breath: Robots and artificial intelligence systems are nowhere near displacing the human workforce. Nevertheless, no less a voice than Bill Gates has asserted just the opposite and called for a counterintuitive, preemptive strike on these innovations. His proposed weapon of choice? Taxes on technology to compensate for losses that haven't happened. David Kenny (@davidwkenny) is IBM's senior vice president for Watson and the company's cloud platform.


Deep Learning Prerequisites: The Numpy Stack in Python

#artificialintelligence

This is Deep Learning, Machine Learning, and Data Science Prerequisites: The Numpy Stack in Python. One question or concern I get a lot is that people want to learn deep learning and data science, so they take these courses, but they get left behind because they don't know enough about the Numpy stack in order to turn those concepts into code. Even if I write the code in full, if you don't know Numpy, then it's still very hard to read. This course is designed to remove that obstacle - to show you how to do things in the Numpy stack that are frequently needed in deep learning and data science. This forms the basis for everything else.

Data visualisation & machine learning courses among most valued today - Times of India

#artificialintelligence

BENGALURU: The humongous amount of digital data being generated, and companies' need to glean insights and make predictions from them have made skills in data visualisation, data science, and machine learning among the most valued for technology recruiters today. This is reflected in the number of working professionals signing up for specialised courses in these spaces. Candidates who complete the courses tend to get between 20% and 50% increase in salaries. Kashyap Dalal, chief business officer at online learning platform Simplilearn, says that big data and analytics courses were the big growth drivers in the past three years. While data science continues to remain popular, accounting for 30% of all learners, courses on visualisation tools and machine learning have become very attractive over the past six months, he said.

A simple experiment in Machine Learning Studio

#artificialintelligence

If you've never used Azure Machine Learning Studio before, this tutorial is for you. In this tutorial, we'll walk through how to use Studio for the first time to create a machine learning experiment. The experiment will test an analytical model that predicts the price of an automobile based on different variables such as make and technical specifications. This tutorial shows you the basics of how to drag-and-drop modules onto your experiment, connect them together, run the experiment, and look at the results. We're not going to discuss the general topic of machine learning or how to select and use the 100 built-in algorithms and data manipulation modules included in Studio.


Machine Learning in R for beginners

#artificialintelligence

Machine learning is a branch in computer science that studies the design of algorithms that can learn. Typical machine learning tasks are concept learning, function learning or "predictive modeling", clustering and finding predictive patterns. These tasks are learned through available data that were observed through experiences or instructions, for example. Machine learning hopes that including the experience into its tasks will eventually improve the learning. The ultimate goal is to improve the learning in such a way that it becomes automatic, so that humans like ourselves don't need to interfere any more. This small tutorial is meant to introduce you to the basics of machine learning in R: more specifically, it will show you how to use R to work with the well-known machine learning algorithm called "KNN" or k-nearest neighbors. Additionally, this tutorial also covers how to use caret do to machine learning in R. If you're interested in following a course, consider checking out our Introduction to Machine Learning with R or DataCamp's Unsupervised Learning in R course! The KNN or k-nearest neighbors algorithm is one of the simplest machine learning algorithms and is an example of instance-based learning, where new data are classified based on stored, labeled instances.

Unsupervised Monocular Depth Estimation with Left-Right Consistency

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Learning based methods have shown very promising results for the task of depth estimation in single images. However, most existing approaches treat depth prediction as a supervised regression problem and as a result, require vast quantities of corresponding ground truth depth data for training. Just recording quality depth data in a range of environments is a challenging problem. In this paper, we innovate beyond existing approaches, replacing the use of explicit depth data during training with easier-to-obtain binocular stereo footage. We propose a novel training objective that enables our convolutional neural network to learn to perform single image depth estimation, despite the absence of ground truth depth data. Exploiting epipolar geometry constraints, we generate disparity images by training our network with an image reconstruction loss. We show that solving for image reconstruction alone results in poor quality depth images. To overcome this problem, we propose a novel training loss that enforces consistency between the disparities produced relative to both the left and right images, leading to improved performance and robustness compared to existing approaches. Our method produces state of the art results for monocular depth estimation on the KITTI driving dataset, even outperforming supervised methods that have been trained with ground truth depth.
