Through an open-ended, practice based approach you will follow along as each step is revealed for you to recreate two game worlds created with Unity 2021.3.9

The course will teach you how to develop deep learning models using Pytorch. The course will start with Pytorch's tensors and Automatic differentiation package. Then each section will cover different models starting off with fundamentals such as Linear Regression, and logistic/softmax regression. Then Convolutional Neural Networks and Transfer learning will be covered. Finally, several other Deep learning methods will be covered.

The logistic regression algorithm is a probabilistic machine learning algorithm used for classification tasks. This is usually the first classification algorithm you'll try a classification task on. Unlike many machine learning algorithms that seem to be a black box, the logisitc regression algorithm is easily understood. In this tutorial, you'll learn everything you need to know about the logistic regression algorithm. You'll start by creating a custom logistic regresssion algorithm. This will help you understand everything happening under the hood and how to debug problems with your logisitic regression models. Next, you'll learn how to train and optimize Scikit-Learn implementation of the logistic regression algorithm. Finally, you'll learn how to handle multiclass classification tasks with this algorithm. This tutorial covers L1 and L2 regularization, hyperparameter tuning using grid search, automating machine learning workflow with pipeline, one vs rest classifier, object-oriented programming, modular programming, and documenting Python modules with docstring.

Mastering How to build, work with, handle and manage databases can be a very useful skill for any programmer, developer and also, non-programmers. And by the end of this course you'll be able to build, work with and manage databases easily and in no time! This is a very powerful tool for everyone who wants to become a professional developer, engineer or data scientist. Structure Query Language(SQL) is one of the most important skills that any programmer, developer, engineer or even an expert must possess, who wants to succeed in his practical life. In this immersive training you'll learn everything you need to program with the SQL language the right way, and you'll become a SQL Programming Rockstar.

This paper presents a compact, matrix-based representation of neural networks in a self-contained tutorial fashion. Specifically, we develop neural networks as a composition of several vector-valued functions. Although neural networks are well-understood pictorially in terms of interconnected neurons, neural networks are mathematical nonlinear functions constructed by composing several vector-valued functions. Using basic results from linear algebra, we represent a neural network as an alternating sequence of linear maps and scalar nonlinear functions, also known as activation functions. The training of neural networks requires the minimization of a cost function, which in turn requires the computation of a gradient. Using basic multivariable calculus results, the cost gradient is also shown to be a function composed of a sequence of linear maps and nonlinear functions. In addition to the analytical gradient computation, we consider two gradient-free training methods and compare the three training methods in terms of convergence rate and prediction accuracy.

We have seen how to train the Transformer model on a dataset of English and German sentence pairs and how to plot the training and validation loss curves to diagnose the model's learning performance and decide at which epoch to run inference on the trained model. We are now ready to run inference on the trained Transformer model to translate an input sentence. In this tutorial, you will discover how to run inference on the trained Transformer model for neural machine translation. It provides self-study tutorials with working code to guide you into building a fully-working transformer model that can translate sentences from one language to another...

Reducing the number of input variables for a predictive model is referred to as dimensionality reduction. Fewer input variables can result in a simpler predictive model that may have better performance when making predictions on new data. Perhaps the most popular technique for dimensionality reduction in machine learning is Principal Component Analysis, or PCA for short. This is a technique that comes from the field of linear algebra and can be used as a data preparation technique to create a projection of a dataset prior to fitting a model. In this tutorial, you will discover how to use PCA for dimensionality reduction when developing predictive models.

Recent works on shared autonomy and assistive-AI technologies, such as assistive robot teleoperation, seek to model and help human users with limited ability in a fixed task. However, these approaches often fail to account for humans' ability to adapt and eventually learn how to execute a control task themselves. Furthermore, in applications where it may be desirable for a human to intervene, these methods may inhibit their ability to learn how to succeed with full self-control. In this paper, we focus on the problem of assistive teaching of motor control tasks such as parking a car or landing an aircraft. Despite their ubiquitous role in humans' daily activities and occupations, motor tasks are rarely taught in a uniform way due to their high complexity and variance. We propose an AI-assisted teaching algorithm that leverages skill discovery methods from reinforcement learning (RL) to (i) break down any motor control task into teachable skills, (ii) construct novel drill sequences, and (iii) individualize curricula to students with different capabilities. Through an extensive mix of synthetic and user studies on two motor control tasks -- parking a car with a joystick and writing characters from the Balinese alphabet -- we show that assisted teaching with skills improves student performance by around 40% compared to practicing full trajectories without skills, and practicing with individualized drills can result in up to 25% further improvement.

Semantic communication is viewed as a revolutionary paradigm that can potentially transform how we design and operate wireless communication systems. However, despite a recent surge of research activities in this area, the research landscape remains limited. In this tutorial, we present the first rigorous vision of a scalable end-to-end semantic communication network that is founded on novel concepts from artificial intelligence (AI), causal reasoning, and communication theory. We first discuss how the design of semantic communication networks requires a move from data-driven networks towards knowledge-driven ones. Subsequently, we highlight the necessity of creating semantic representations of data that satisfy the key properties of minimalism, generalizability, and efficiency so as to do more with less. We then explain how those representations can form the basis a so-called semantic language. By using semantic representation and languages, we show that the traditional transmitter and receiver now become a teacher and apprentice. Then, we define the concept of reasoning by investigating the fundamentals of causal representation learning and their role in designing semantic communication networks. We demonstrate that reasoning faculties are majorly characterized by the ability to capture causal and associational relationships in datastreams. For such reasoning-driven networks, we propose novel and essential semantic communication metrics that include new "reasoning capacity" measures that could go beyond Shannon's bound to capture the convergence of computing and communication. Finally, we explain how semantic communications can be scaled to large-scale networks (6G and beyond). In a nutshell, we expect this tutorial to provide a comprehensive reference on how to properly build, analyze, and deploy future semantic communication networks.
