Five ways AI is saving wildlife – from counting chimps to locating whales

The Guardian

There's a strand of thinking, from sci-fi films to Stephen Hawking that suggests artificial intelligence (AI) could spell doom for humans. But conservationists are increasingly turning to AI as an innovative tech solution to tackle the biodiversity crisis and mitigate climate change. From camera trap and satellite images to audio recordings, the report notes: "AI can learn how to identify which photos out of thousands contain rare species; or pinpoint an animal call out of hours of field recordings – hugely reducing the manual labour required to collect vital conservation data." AI is helping to protect species as diverse as humpback whales, koalas and snow leopards, supporting the work of scientists, researchers and rangers in vital tasks, from anti-poaching patrols to monitoring species. With machine learning (ML) computer systems that use algorithms and models to learn, understand and adapt, AI is often able to do the job of hundreds of people, getting faster, cheaper and more effective results.


7 Best Free Courses for Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and Deep Learning - DZone AI

#artificialintelligence

If you are thinking of learning Data Science, Machine learning (ML), or Deep Learning (DL), you are not alone; more and more people are starting with these advanced skills worldwide. I have seen a lot of interest from software engineers in the ML and AI space. They are totally caught up with the craze of developing programs that can recognize numbers, alphabets, vehicles, and several other image scanning stuff. The craze is very similar to what the 1980's programmer has about video games, where moving a character on screen gives the joy you get when your program correctly identifies the number or letter you make from hand. From college graduates to junior programmers and from experienced programmers to software architects, all show interest in ML and AI to become part of the next technical revolution we may be witnessing.



Machine Learning & Deep Learning in Python & R

#artificialintelligence

In this section we will learn - What does Machine Learning mean. What are the meanings or different terms associated with machine learning? You will see some examples so that you understand what machine learning actually is. It also contains steps involved in building a machine learning model, not just linear models, any machine learning model.

Basic Concepts (You'll learn the basic structures such as variables, conditional statements, looping, input/output etc. that are the cornerstone for proper use. Data Handling/Persistence (You'll learn about manipulating data using a variety of different data structures and how to properly store it in custom files of designated formats). Object Oriented Programming (OOP is essential to almost any developer out there. You need to know what a class is, how it's been used, what are the objects and what are its properties and methods. Then you'll learn about inheritance and how to expand the logic for code maintenance).


Fall & Winter Workshop Roundup

#artificialintelligence

We'll be hosting a few different workshops in a variety of cities across the US and UK. See below for more details on each workshop and how to register. Chief Data Scientist Hadley Wickham is hosting his popular "Building Tidy Tools" workshop in Atlanta, Georgia this October. You should take this workshop if you have experience programming in R and want to learn how to tackle larger scale problems. You'll get the most from it if you're already familiar with functions and are comfortable with R's basic data structures (vectors, matrices, arrays, lists, and data frames).


Education 4.0: Adapting to the fourth industrial revolution

#artificialintelligence

From the dawn of industry 250 years ago, formal education has remained essentially static, largely fossilised. In lecture halls around the globe, students still gaze not-so-fondly at the instructor delivering content that they're expected to memorise--and cramming is tested and rewarded. The future of work conversation is inherently a future of education conversation. If the hallmark of 20th-century learning was access to a college education, the third decade of the 21st century requires frameworks that digitally support lifelong learning--and then re-learning. Many of the jobs in the future workforce have not quite been imagined yet.


Computer Vision Masterclass

#artificialintelligence

Computer Vision is a subarea of Artificial Intelligence focused on creating systems that can process, analyze and identify visual data in a similar way to the human eye. There are many commercial applications in various departments, such as: security, marketing, decision making and production. Smartphones use Computer Vision to unlock devices using face recognition, self-driving cars use it to detect pedestrians and keep a safe distance from other cars, as well as security cameras use it to identify whether there are people in the environment for the alarm to be triggered. In this course you will learn everything you need to know in order to get in this world. You will learn the step-by-step implementation of the 14 (fourteen) main computer vision techniques.

This course brings the software architecture skills required by an enterprise architect. In the lectures, we go through the engineering requirements and how to deal with gained information. Although the course is not about to show you how to build a web/desktop/mobile app with programming, but you have a great tool to create blueprint of your system. You will learn modern way to create your own design pattern or use common and useful architecture patterns. As it is said in the videos, by creating a blueprint of you system before starting to build it, you can then easily edit/modify/update/upgrade the system even after lot of years.
