Multi-Class Classification Tutorial with the Keras Deep Learning Library - Machine Learning Mastery

#artificialintelligence

Keras is a Python library for deep learning that wraps the efficient numerical libraries Theano and TensorFlow. In this post you will discover how you can use Keras to develop and evaluate neural network models for multi-class classification problems. Multi-Class Classification Tutorial with the Keras Deep Learning Library Photo by houroumono, some rights reserved. In this tutorial we will use the standard machine learning problem called the iris flowers dataset. This dataset is well studied and is a good problem for practicing on neural networks because all of the 4 input variables are numeric and have the same scale in centimeters.

Top /r/MachineLearning Posts, May: TensorFlow Tricks; Machine Learning Tutorials; Google TPUs

#artificialintelligence

In May on /r/MachineLearning we get jokes, more jokes, bad news about freely-available study material, good news about some other freely-available study material, some videos, news from Google, and a walkthrough for setting up a deep learning machine. This bit of news has made the rounds over the past week, so you may have already heard: Andrej Karpathy has been forced to take down the previously publicly-available videos for his Convolutional Neural Networks course at Stanford. This is a link to the tweet announcing it. Long-time Python tutorial make sentdex has shared his latest series of machine learning video tutorials, aimed at beginner to intermediate programmers. The most recent series is an in-depth machine learning course, aimed at breaking down the complex ML concepts that are typically just "done for you" in a hand-wavy fashion with packages and modules.


Implementing your own spam filter by Cambridge Coding Academy

#artificialintelligence

This post teaches you how to implement your own spam filter in under 100 lines of Python code. While doing this hands-on exercise, you'll work with natural language data, learn how to detect the words spammers use automatically, and learn how to use a Naive Bayes classifier for binary classification. The task is to distinguish between two types of emails, "spam" and "non-spam" often called "ham". The machine learning classifier will detect that an email is spam if it is characterised by certain features. The textual content of the email – words like "Viagra" or "lottery" or phrases like "You've won a 100,000,000 dollars!


Flappy Bird Bot - Q-Learning AI • /r/MachineLearning

#artificialintelligence

It is taught, mostly in graduate school control theory courses which are typically found in ece departments. Typically called "linear systems" as a starter course, there is not really a standard textbook as it can be taught as pure math or as a more applied subject. For nonlinear systems, which deals more with theoretical things such as existence of solutions, the textbook by khalil is pretty standard. I'm pretty sure there are some decent YouTube lecture series on state space control. They should discuss controllability/observability, some basic feedback schemes, etc. Oddly, a lot of control theory is more concerned with examining systems than with actually developing controllers... Most modern work in control theory is state space as opposed to classical frequency response methods as it handles multiple input multiple output systems much better.


Book: Data Mining and Analysis - Fundamental Concepts and Algorithms

@machinelearnbot

The fundamental algorithms in data mining and analysis form the basis for the emerging field of data science, which includes automated methods to analyze patterns and models for all kinds of data, with applications ranging from scientific discovery to business intelligence and analytics. This textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate data mining courses provides a broad yet in-depth overview of data mining, integrating related concepts from machine learning and statistics. The main parts of the book include exploratory data analysis, pattern mining, clustering, and classification. The book lays the basic foundations of these tasks, and also covers cutting-edge topics such as kernel methods, high-dimensional data analysis, and complex graphs and networks. With its comprehensive coverage, algorithmic perspective, and wealth of examples, this book offers solid guidance in data mining for students, researchers, and practitioners alike.


Here's how artificial intelligence could solve the biggest problem in education

#artificialintelligence

Ashok Goel wants to expand high-quality education to "millions" more people over the internet. It's the same goal that's pushed universities to make more and more courses and degree programs available over the internet, making it possible for students living on the far sides of the word to get degrees from American universities -- and vice versa. But online education has a problem: Of the hordes of students that sign up for massive open online classes (MOOCs), an average of less than 7% finish. Goel thinks artificial intelligence can change that. "There are many reasons" students don't finish, he told Tech Insider.


Training: Introduction to Machine Learning and Data Mining

@machinelearnbot

Machine learning automatically recognizes complex, previously unknown, novel, and useful patterns and information in all types of data. Data driven algorithms are the wave of the future and their results improve as the amount of data increases. Machine learning algorithms are used in search engines, image analysis, multimedia database retrieval, bioinformatics, industrial automation, speech recognition, and many other fields. This survey course covers the concepts and principles of a large variety of data mining methods, equips you with a working knowledge of these techniques and prepares you to apply them to real problems. The statistical programming language R is used to implement machine learning algorithms.


Artificial intelligence, cognitive systems and biosocial spaces of education

#artificialintelligence

Recently, new ideas about'artificial intelligence' and'cognitive computing systems' in education have been advanced by major computing and educational businesses. More particularly, what understandings of the human teacher and the learner are assumed in the development of such systems, and with what potential effects? The focus here is on the education business Pearson, which published a report entitled Intelligence Unleashed: An argument for AI in education in February 2016, and the computing company IBM, which launched Personalized Education: from curriculum to career with cognitive systems in May 2016. Pearson's interest in AI reflects its growing profile as an organization using advanced forms of data analytics to measure educational institutions and practices while IBM's report on cognitive systems makes a case for extending its existing R&D around cognitive computing into the education sector. AI has been the subject of serious concern recently, with warnings from high-profile figures including Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates and Elon Musk, while awareness about cognitive computing has been fuelled by widespread media coverage of Google's AlphaGo system, which beat one of the world's leading Go players back in March. Commenting on these recent events, the philosopher Luciano Floridi has noted that contemporary AI and cognitive computing, however, cannot be characterized in monolithic terms as some kind of'ultraintelligence'; instead it is manifesting itself in far more mundane ways through an'infosphere' of'ordinary artefacts that outperform us in ever more tasks, despite being no cleverer than a toaster': The success of our technologies depends largely on the fact that, while we were speculating about the possibility of ultraintelligence, we increasingly enveloped the world in so many devices, sensors, applications and data that it became an IT-friendly environment, where technologies can replace us without having any understanding, mental states, intentions, interpretations, emotional states, semantic skills, consciousness, self-awareness or flexible intelligence.
