18 best Java books For Beginners - Dunebook

#artificialintelligence

Java is an object-oriented programming language that is popular and used by millions of programmers around the world. For new programmers who made up their minds that, come what may, they are learning java and so far not sure which are the best Java books to get started with, I will advise for free. Don't get confused about choosing your books to study when I am here to give you informed advice based on opinions of other renowned programmers. Starting on the wrong foot is costly, beware! But rest assured that you miss a concept from one book, chances are that you will get a clear explanation from another one, I still advise you to shop for these best Java books wisely!


On-the-fly Strategy Adaptation for ad-hoc Agent Coordination

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Training agents in cooperative settings offers the promise of AI agents able to interact effectively with humans (and other agents) in the real world. Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) has the potential to achieve this goal, demonstrating success in a series of challenging problems. However, whilst these advances are significant, the vast majority of focus has been on the self-play paradigm. This often results in a coordination problem, caused by agents learning to make use of arbitrary conventions when playing with themselves. This means that even the strongest self-play agents may have very low cross-play with other agents, including other initializations of the same algorithm. In this paper we propose to solve this problem by adapting agent strategies on the fly, using a posterior belief over the other agents' strategy. Concretely, we consider the problem of selecting a strategy from a finite set of previously trained agents, to play with an unknown partner. We propose an extension of the classic statistical technique, Gibbs sampling, to update beliefs about other agents and obtain close to optimal ad-hoc performance. Despite its simplicity, our method is able to achieve strong cross-play with unseen partners in the challenging card game of Hanabi, achieving successful ad-hoc coordination without knowledge of the partner's strategy a priori.


PAC-Bayesian Lifelong Learning For Multi-Armed Bandits

arXiv.org Machine Learning

We present a PAC-Bayesian analysis of lifelong learning. In the lifelong learning problem, a sequence of learning tasks is observed one-at-a-time, and the goal is to transfer information acquired from previous tasks to new learning tasks. We consider the case when each learning task is a multi-armed bandit problem. We derive lower bounds on the expected average reward that would be obtained if a given multi-armed bandit algorithm was run in a new task with a particular prior and for a set number of steps. We propose lifelong learning algorithms that use our new bounds as learning objectives. Our proposed algorithms are evaluated in several lifelong multi-armed bandit problems and are found to perform better than a baseline method that does not use generalisation bounds.

Here's How to Learn Python for Machine Learning

#artificialintelligence

If you are new to machine learning, you have to choose a programming language to learn machine learning and implement it on data. Python is one of the most preferred programming languages for machine learning. So if you want to understand how to learn Python for machine learning, this article is for you. In this article, I will take you through how to learn Python for machine learning step by step. Before starting with machine learning, you should know the basics of the programming language you will use for machine learning.


GIS for Drone Pilots using QGIS (w/ Airspace Data Template)

#artificialintelligence

GIS and Drone Technologies are both powerful tools for assisting people in analyzing the world we inhabit. Whether you are someone with GIS skills looking to add drones to your toolbelt, or a drone pilot who wants to level up their deliverable products, you are in the right place. Both these skills require very similar mindsets, such as an attention to detail, focus and accuracy. If you can do one, you can do the other, so why not do both! This course is best for those who have some familiarity with either GIS concepts or drone mapping, or those that are comfortable in learning new software packages.


Deep Learning Prerequisites: Linear Regression in Python

#artificialintelligence

This course teaches you about one popular technique used in machine learning, data science and statistics: linear regression. This course teaches you about one popular technique used in machine learning, data science and statistics: linear regression. We cover the theory from the ground up: derivation of the solution, and applications to real-world problems. We show you how one might code their own linear regression module in Python. Linear regression is the simplest machine learning model you can learn, yet there is so much depth that you'll be returning to it for years to come.


Introduction to Machine Learning for Data Science

#artificialintelligence

Thank you all for the huge response to this emerging course! We are delighted to have over 20,000 students in over 160 different countries. I'm genuinely touched by the overwhelmingly positive and thoughtful reviews. It's such a privilege to share and introduce this important topic with everyday people in a clear and understandable way. I'm also excited to announce that I have created real closed captions for all course material, so weather you need them due to a hearing impairment, or find it easier to follow long (great for ESL students!)... I've got you covered.


Data Science with Python (beginner to expert)

#artificialintelligence

The primary goal of this course is to provide you a comprehensive learning framework to use Python for data science. Data Science with Python involves not only using Python language to clean, analyze and visualize data, but also applying Python programming skills to predict and identify trends useful for decision-making. Since data revolution has made data as the new oil for organizations, today's decisions are driven by multidisciplinary approach of using data, mathematical models, statistics, graphs, databases for various business needs such as forecasting weather, customer segmentation, studying protein structures in biology, designing a marketing campaign, opening a new store, and the like. The modern data-powered technology systems are driven by identifying, integrating, storing and analyzing data for useful business decisions. Scientific logic backed with data provides solid understanding of the business and its analysis.
