Course: Intuitive Machine Learning - Machine Learning Techniques

#artificialintelligence

Experience with manipulating some datasets, even if in Excel only, will help. The course is suited to busy professionals and students who want to learn quickly and get to the important points without wasting time on long, boring videos. Also ideal for self-learners who need a solid "jump-start" for career acceleration, and interested in quickly working on real-life problems. Be able to complete machine learning projects from beginning to end, just like a professional working in the industry, for projects ranging from NLP, clustering, regression to computer vision. Learn how to learn and become independent to solve any future problems.


AI-based Arabic Language and Speech Tutor

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In the past decade, we have observed a growing interest in using technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and chatbots to provide assistance to language learners, especially in second language learning. By using AI and natural language processing (NLP) and chatbots, we can create an intelligent self-learning environment that goes beyond multiple-choice questions and/or fill in the blank exercises. In addition, NLP allows for learning to be adaptive in that it offers more than an indication that an error has occurred. It also provides a description of the error, uses linguistic analysis to isolate the source of the error, and then suggests additional drills to achieve optimal individualized learning outcomes. In this paper, we present our approach for developing an Artificial Intelligence-based Arabic Language and Speech Tutor (AI-ALST) for teaching the Moroccan Arabic dialect. The AI-ALST system is an intelligent tutor that provides analysis and assessment of students learning the Moroccan dialect at University of Arizona (UA). The AI-ALST provides a self-learned environment to practice each lesson for pronunciation training. In this paper, we present our initial experimental evaluation of the AI-ALST that is based on MFCC (Mel frequency cepstrum coefficient) feature extraction, bidirectional LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory), attention mechanism, and a cost-based strategy for dealing with class-imbalance learning. We evaluated our tutor on the word pronunciation of lesson 1 of the Moroccan Arabic dialect class. The experimental results show that the AI-ALST can effectively and successfully detect pronunciation errors and evaluate its performance by using F_1-score, accuracy, precision, and recall.

Students will have develop understanding of libraries used for Data Analysis like Pandas and Numpy.


Learning a Grammar Inducer from Massive Uncurated Instructional Videos

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Video-aided grammar induction aims to leverage video information for finding more accurate syntactic grammars for accompanying text. While previous work focuses on building systems for inducing grammars on text that are well-aligned with video content, we investigate the scenario, in which text and video are only in loose correspondence. Such data can be found in abundance online, and the weak correspondence is similar to the indeterminacy problem studied in language acquisition. Furthermore, we build a new model that can better learn video-span correlation without manually designed features adopted by previous work. Experiments show that our model trained only on large-scale YouTube data with no text-video alignment reports strong and robust performances across three unseen datasets, despite domain shift and noisy label issues. Furthermore our model yields higher F1 scores than the previous state-of-the-art systems trained on in-domain data.


Ethics for Digital Medicine: A Path for Ethical Emerging Medical IoT Design

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The dawn of the digital medicine era, ushered in by increasingly powerful embedded systems and Internet of Things (IoT) computing devices, is creating new therapies and biomedical solutions that promise to positively transform our quality of life. However, the digital medicine revolution also creates unforeseen and complex ethical, regulatory, and societal issues. In this article, we reflect on the ethical challenges facing digital medicine. We discuss the perils of ethical oversights in medical devices, and the role of professional codes and regulatory oversight towards the ethical design, deployment, and operation of digital medicine devices that safely and effectively meet the needs of patients. We advocate for an ensemble approach of intensive education, programmable ethical behaviors, and ethical analysis frameworks, to prevent mishaps and sustain ethical innovation, design, and lifecycle management of emerging digital medicine devices.

Standardized Medical Image Classification across Medical Disciplines

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

AUCMEDI is a Python-based framework for medical image classification. In this paper, we evaluate the capabilities of AUCMEDI, by applying it to multiple datasets. Datasets were specifically chosen to cover a variety of medical disciplines and imaging modalities. We designed a simple pipeline using Jupyter notebooks and applied it to all datasets. Results show that AUCMEDI was able to train a model with accurate classification capabilities for each dataset: Averaged AUC per dataset range between 0.82 and 1.0, averaged F1 scores range between 0.61 and 1.0. With its high adaptability and strong performance, AUCMEDI proves to be a powerful instrument to build widely applicable neural networks. The notebooks serve as application examples for AUCMEDI.


GeoAI at ACM SIGSPATIAL: The New Frontier of Geospatial Artificial Intelligence Research

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI) is an interdisciplinary field enjoying tremendous adoption. However, the efficient design and implementation of GeoAI systems face many open challenges. This is mainly due to the lack of non-standardized approaches to artificial intelligence tool development, inadequate platforms, and a lack of multidisciplinary engagements, which all motivate domain experts to seek a shared stage with scientists and engineers to solve problems of significant impact on society. Since its inception in 2017, the GeoAI series of workshops has been co-located with the Association for Computing Machinery International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems. The workshop series has fostered a nexus for geoscientists, computer scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers, from academia, industry, and government to engage in artificial intelligence, spatiotemporal data computing, and geospatial data science research, motivated by various challenges. In this article, we revisit and discuss the state of GeoAI open research directions, the recent developments, and an emerging agenda calling for a continued cross-disciplinary community engagement.


From Modelling to Understanding Children's Behaviour in the Context of Robotics and Social Artificial Intelligence

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Understanding and modelling children's cognitive processes and their behaviour in the context of their interaction with robots and social artificial intelligence systems is a fundamental prerequisite for meaningful and effective robot interventions. However, children's development involve complex faculties such as exploration, creativity and curiosity which are challenging to model. Also, often children express themselves in a playful way which is different from a typical adult behaviour. Different children also have different needs, and it remains a challenge in the current state of the art that those of neurodiverse children are under-addressed. With this workshop, we aim to promote a common ground among different disciplines such as developmental sciences, artificial intelligence and social robotics and discuss cutting-edge research in the area of user modelling and adaptive systems for children.
