Microsoft's new AI for Beginners course

#artificialintelligence

A 12-week, 24-course curriculum covering: Different approaches to Artificial Intelligence, including the “good old” symbolic approach with Knowledge Representation and reasoning (GOFAI). Neural Networks and Deep Learning, which are at the core of modern AI. We will illustrate the concepts behind these important topics...


What-does-a-Data-Scientist-do-

#artificialintelligence

Data Science is a coalescence of sundry fields including Statistics, math, Programming, Machine Learning, and domain Erudition with the goal of extracting insights from the data to enable a data-driven decision process, which is the key to business prosperity. Data Scientists accumulate the pertinent business data from sundry internal and external sources, do experiments, and apply sundry statistical techniques to engender vigorous data substratum analytics. They utilize machine learning alimented by data pipelines to provide predictive analytics with a great level of precision. This avails to better understand the business and customers so that they can be accommodated better with a better decision-making process. Why is a Data Science Vocation most desired?


Ensemble Modeling

#artificialintelligence

In the world of analytics,modeling is a general term used to refer to the use of data mining (machine learning) methods to develop predictions. If you want to know what ad a particular user is more likely to click on, or which customers are likely to leave you for a competitor, you develop a predictive model. There are a lot of models to choose from: Regression, Decision Trees, K Nearest Neighbor, Neural Nets, etc. They all will provide you with a prediction, but some will do better than others depending on the data you are working with. While there are certain tricks and tweaks one can do to improve the accuracy of these models, it never hurts to remember the fact that there is wisdom to be found in the masses.


AI For Business Growth: E20: How to use digital humans for highly engaged storytelling on Apple Podcasts

#artificialintelligence

In this episode of AI For Business Growth, Dr Andree Bates is joined by Guy Gadney, the CEO of Charisma. Charisma believes that AI is a new toolkit for creatives and can be used to inspire ideas, accelerate development, and create new forms of entertainment. To achieve their vision they run writers rooms, co-author papers on the future of AI and storytelling, and partner with universities around the world. Guy explains the use cases for Charisma Ai, how it enhances user content experience, and the problems that Charisma.Ai solves for the entertainment industry. During the pandemic their AI was used to help digitise theatre productions in an immersive way.


Promise and problems: AI put patients at risk but that shouldn't prevent us developing it. How do we implement artificial intelligence in clinical settings?

#artificialintelligence

In a classic case of finding a balance between costs and benefits of science, researchers are grappling with the question of how artificial intelligence in medicine can and should be applied to clinical patient care – despite knowing that there are examples where it puts patients' lives at risk. The question was central to a recent university of Adelaide seminar, part of the Research Tuesdays lecture series, titled "Antidote AI." As artificial intelligence grows in sophistication and usefulness, we have begun to see it appearing more and more in everyday life. From AI traffic control and ecological studies, to machine learning finding the origins of a Martian meteorite and reading Arnhem Land rock art, the possibilities seem endless for AI research. The genuine excitement clinicians and artificial intelligence researchers feel for the prospect of AI assisting in patient care is palpable and honourable. Medicine is, after all, about helping people and the ethical foundation is "do no harm."


Non-Autoregressive Sign Language Production via Knowledge Distillation

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Sign Language Production (SLP) aims to translate expressions in spoken language into corresponding ones in sign language, such as skeleton-based sign poses or videos. Existing SLP models are either AutoRegressive (AR) or Non-Autoregressive (NAR). However, AR-SLP models suffer from regression to the mean and error propagation during decoding. NSLP-G, a NAR-based model, resolves these issues to some extent but engenders other problems. For example, it does not consider target sign lengths and suffers from false decoding initiation. We propose a novel NAR-SLP model via Knowledge Distillation (KD) to address these problems. First, we devise a length regulator to predict the end of the generated sign pose sequence. We then adopt KD, which distills spatial-linguistic features from a pre-trained pose encoder to alleviate false decoding initiation. Extensive experiments show that the proposed approach significantly outperforms existing SLP models in both Frechet Gesture Distance and Back-Translation evaluation.


Reports of the Workshops Held at the 2022 Internal Conference on Web and Social Media

Interactive AI Magazine

The pre-conference day included a wide array of workshops and tutorials, spanning a range of topics. The tutorials covered the latest techniques in machine learning (including deep learning and BERT), information extraction, causal inference, word embeddings, and the use of Twitter API v2, and addressed use cases including mis/disinformation and business decision making. The workshops included those on Cyber Social Threats (CySoc), Social Sensing (SocialSens): Special Edition on Belief Dynamics, Images in Online Political Communication (PhoMemes), Novel Evaluation Approaches for Text Classification Systems on Social Media (NEATCLasS), Social Media for Emergency Response (SoMER), Data for the Wellbeing of Most Vulnerable, and News Media and Computational Journalism (MEDIATE). A Data Challenge was also held on this day, with a special focus on Health-Related Discourse on the Web. For the main conference, 454 reviewers and 86 senior PC members evaluated 455 papers submitted to the conference, with 122 being accepted for publication.


Hyperparameter Tuning with Python: Boost your machine learning model's performance via hyperparameter tuning: Owen, Louis: 9781803235875: Amazon.com: Books

#artificialintelligence

You'll start with an introduction to hyperparameter tuning and understand why it's important. Next, you'll learn the best methods for hyperparameter tuning for a variety of use cases and specific algorithm types. This book will not only cover the usual grid or random search but also other powerful underdog methods. Individual chapters are also dedicated to the three main groups of hyperparameter tuning methods: exhaustive search, heuristic search, Bayesian optimization, and multi-fidelity optimization. Later, you will learn about top frameworks like Scikit, Hyperopt, Optuna, NNI, and DEAP to implement hyperparameter tuning.


Robot Framework Tutorial - Features And Software Installation

#artificialintelligence

Robot Framework is an open-source Test Automation framework. It was initially developed by Nokia Networks, however, it is now maintained by the Robot Framework Foundation. You will learn about the features, pros, and cons of the Framework along with instructions to install the needed software. Robot Framework is a Test Automation tool in which the test cases are written using keywords that makes it easy to learn and use. These keywords are written in a tabular form. With Robot Framework, the Test Scripts are replaced by a few keywords thereby replacing the need for large pieces of code.
