Numerical Optimization is one of the central techniques in Machine Learning. For many problems it is hard to figure out the best solution directly, but it is relatively easy to set up a loss function that measures how good a solution is - and then minimize the parameters of that function to find the solution. I ended up writing a bunch of numerical optimization routines back when I was first trying to learn javascript. Since I had all this code lying around anyway, I thought that it might be fun to provide some interactive visualizations of how these algorithms work. The cool thing about this post is that the code is all running in the browser, meaning you can interactively set hyper-parameters for each algorithm, change the initial location, and change what function is being called to get a better sense of how these algorithms work.

Traditional neural networks rely on shallow nets, composed of one input, one hidden layer and one output layer. Deep-learning networks are distinguished from these ordinary neural networks having more hidden layer, or so-called more depth. These kind of nets are capable of discovering hidden structures within unlabeled and unstructured data (i.e. TensorFlow is one of the best libraries to implement deep learning. TensorFlow is a software library for numerical computation of mathematical expressional, using data flow graphs.

The presidential campaign made clear that chauvinist attitudes toward women remain stubbornly fixed in some parts of society. It turns out we're inadvertently teaching artificial-intelligence systems to be sexist, too. New research shows that subtle gender bias is entrenched in the data sets used to teach language skills to AI programs. As these systems become more capable and widespread, their sexist point of view could have negative consequences--in job searches, for instance. The problem results from the way machines are being taught to read and talk.

Today's developers often hear about leveraging machine learning algorithms in order to build more intelligent applications, but many don't know where to start. One of the most important aspects of developing smart applications is to understand the underlying machine learning models, even if you aren't the person building them. Whether you are integrating a recommendation system into your app or building a chat bot, this guide will help you get started in understanding the basics of machine learning. This introduction to machine learning and list of resources is adapted from my October 2016 talk at ACT-W, a women's tech conference. Machine learning studies computer algorithms for learning to do stuff.

The Machine Learning Canvas is a template for developing new (or documenting existing) intelligent systems based on data and machine learning. It is a visual chart with elements describing the key aspects of such systems: the value proposition, the data to learn from (to create predictive models), the utilization of predictions (to create proposed value), requirements and measures of performance. It assists teams of data scientists, software engineers, product and business managers, in aligning their activities. This tutorial will help you get into the right mindset to go beyond the current hype around machine learning, beyond proofs of concept, and to clearly see how this technology can have an actual impact in your domain. I'll present the general structure of the Canvas, the different boxes it is composed of and the associated questions to answer. We'll see how to fill it in iteratively on a churn prevention example.

It seems like strange advice: if your phone is full up with rubbish and you want to free some of the storage up, then download even more rubbish. A new trick lets people get extra space on their iPhone just by downloading some new apps, and by tricking the phone into believing that it needs to clear up some space. To do it, all you need to do is to download a big app that takes up more space on your phone than you have left. As soon as you do so, your iPhone will automatically start clearing up much-needed storage space.

Since about 100 years ago, to learn the intrinsic structure of data, many representation learning approaches have been proposed, including both linear ones and nonlinear ones, supervised ones and unsupervised ones. Particularly, deep architectures are widely applied for representation learning in recent years, and have delivered top results in many tasks, such as image classification, object detection and speech recognition. In this paper, we review the development of data representation learning methods. Specifically, we investigate both traditional feature learning algorithms and state-of-the-art deep learning models. The history of data representation learning is introduced, while available resources (e.g. online course, tutorial and book information) and toolboxes are provided. Finally, we conclude this paper with remarks and some interesting research directions on data representation learning.
