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."

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.

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.

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 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.

Here is a list of awesome courses available on YouTube that you should definitely follow and are 100% free.

This tutorial will focus on two main broad topics that are Simple Linear Regression and Multiple Linear regression. Throughout the tutorial, key points are illustrated with clear, step-by-step examples for better understanding. By the end of the tutorial, you will be able to compute all of the essential outputs for simple linear regression and multiple regression. Most important, you will be able to correctly interpret the outputs you produce. Linear regression is a common Statistical Data Analysis technique that is widely being used.

Highlights: Welcome back to the all-new series on Machine Learning. In the previous post, we gave you a sneak peak into the basics of Machine Learning, the two types of Machine Learning, viz., Supervised & Unsupervised, and implemented some examples using various algorithms in each of the techniques. In this new tutorial post, we will explore one of the most widely used Supervised Learning algorithms in the world today – Linear Regression. We will start off with some theory and go on to build a simple model in Python, from scratch. In our previous post (also the first post of this Machine Learning tutorial series), we brushed the fundamentals of Linear Regression using the example of housing price prediction, given the size of the house. If you remember, the prediction was based on the linear relationship that existed between the house price and the size of the house. Have a look at the image below. In the graph above, the size of the house is shown along the horizontal axis and the price of a house is shown along the vertical axis. Here, each data point is a house with its respective size and the price that the house was recently sold for.

If you are a student or professional interested in the latest trends in the computing world, you would have heard of terms like artificial intelligence, data science, machine learning, deep learning, etc. The first article in this series on artificial intelligence explains these terms, and sets the platform for a simple tutorial that will help beginners get started with AI. Today it is absolutely necessary for any student or professional in the field of computer science to learn at least the basics of AI, data science, machine learning and deep learning. However, where does one begin to do so? To answer this question, I have gone through a number of textbooks and tutorials that teach AI. Some start at a theoretical level (a lot of maths), some teach you AI in a language-agnostic way (they don't care whether you know C, C, Java, Python, or some other programming language), and yet others assume you are an expert in linear algebra, probability, statistics, etc. In my opinion, all of them are useful to a great extent. But the important question remains -- where should an absolute beginner interested in AI begin his or her journey? Frankly, there are many fine ways to begin your AI journey.

Have you ever wondered how the first couple of years of a general Computer Science university course looks like? Maybe you'd like to know if this is the discipline for you and if you are good at it? Wonder no longer, for we will show you how to get there, how to get good as you go along on your journey, and how life as a computer scientist is like! Money is precious, time even more so, so our priority is to push you ahead, and give you a head-start into university life. Our goal with this course to help you decide if you want to do computer science & engineering at a university level, and what you can expect should you enroll into a course!
