#artificialintelligence

Machine Learning and artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere; if you want to know how companies like Google, Amazon, and even Udemy extract meaning and insights from massive data sets, this data science course will give you the fundamentals you need. Data Scientists enjoy one of the top-paying jobs, with an average salary of $120,000 according to Glassdoor and Indeed. If you've got some programming or scripting experience, this course will teach you the techniques used by real data scientists and machine learning practitioners in the tech industry โ€“ and prepare you for a move into this hot career path. Each concept is introduced in plain English, avoiding confusing mathematical notation and jargon. It's then demonstrated using Python code you can experiment with and build upon, along with notes you can keep for future reference.


Digital health and data science: New component of medical education curriculum introduced

#artificialintelligence

The Augusta Webster, MD, Office of Medical Education (AWOME) has begun introducing a new component of the medical education curriculum to current medical students: instruction in Digital Health and Data Science. The curriculum is being co-developed by David Liebovitz, MD, associate vice chair for clinical informatics in the Department of Medicine and co-director of the Center for Medical Education in Data Science and Digital Health, and Mahesh Vaidyanathan, MD, MBA, assistant professor of Anesthesiology. The utilization of large data sets and machine learning is rapidly growing in healthcare. Feinberg is proud to be at the forefront of preparing our students to not only utilize this technology in care delivery and research, but also to critically evaluate its applicability and limitations. I am confident that this curriculum will be the foundation for many of our students to become leaders in the field of data science and augmented intelligence in medicine." The new curriculum component will see students meeting several core competencies and learning outcomes while learning about the health data ecosystem; the health IT regulatory environment; data science methods and research; digital health decision support; bias, ethics and health equity; and the sociotechnical context for digital health and data science. Mahesh Vaidyanathan, MD, MBA, assistant professor of Anesthesiology, is a co-leader of Feinberg's new Digital Health and Data Science curriculum component for medical students. "The tools that data science brings to clinical care enable more effective and personalized care for our patients.


High Resolution Generative Adversarial Networks

#artificialintelligence

Create a GAN capable of generating high resolution images using TensorFlow 2.0 ยท Distribute training on a TPU or multiple GPUS ยท Implement the R2 This course covers the fundamentals necessary for a state-of-the-art GAN. Anyone who experimented with GANs on their own knows that it's easy to throw together a GAN that spits out MNIST digits, but it's another level of difficulty entirely to produce photorealistic images at a resolution higher than a thumbnail. You'll create and train a GAN that can be used in real-world applications. And because training high-resolution networks of any kind is computationally expensively, you'll also learn how to distribute your training across multiple GPUs or TPUs. This allows students to train generators up to 512x512 resolution with no hardware costs at all.

Applications of Deep Neural Networks

#artificialintelligence

Deep learning is a group of exciting new technologies for neural networks. Through a combination of advanced training techniques and neural network architectural components, it is now possible to create neural networks that can handle tabular data, images, text, and audio as both input and output. Deep learning allows a neural network to learn hierarchies of information in a way that is like the function of the human brain. This course will introduce the student to classic neural network structures, Convolution Neural Networks (CNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Gated Recurrent Neural Networks (GRU), General Adversarial Networks (GAN), and reinforcement learning. Application of these architectures to computer vision, time series, security, natural language processing (NLP), and data generation will be covered. High-Performance Computing (HPC) aspects will demonstrate how deep learning can be leveraged both on graphical processing units (GPUs), as well as grids. Focus is primarily upon the application of deep learning to problems, with some introduction to mathematical foundations. Readers will use the Python programming language to implement deep learning using Google TensorFlow and Keras. It is not necessary to know Python prior to this book; however, familiarity with at least one programming language is assumed.


pymdp: A Python library for active inference in discrete state spaces

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Active inference is an account of cognition and behavior in complex systems which brings together action, perception, and learning under the theoretical mantle of Bayesian inference. Active inference has seen growing applications in academic research, especially in fields that seek to model human or animal behavior. While in recent years, some of the code arising from the active inference literature has been written in open source languages like Python and Julia, to-date, the most popular software for simulating active inference agents is the DEM toolbox of SPM, a MATLAB library originally developed for the statistical analysis and modelling of neuroimaging data. Increasing interest in active inference, manifested both in terms of sheer number as well as diversifying applications across scientific disciplines, has thus created a need for generic, widely-available, and user-friendly code for simulating active inference in open-source scientific computing languages like Python. The Python package we present here, pymdp (see https://github.com/infer-actively/pymdp), represents a significant step in this direction: namely, we provide the first open-source package for simulating active inference with partially-observable Markov Decision Processes or POMDPs. We review the package's structure and explain its advantages like modular design and customizability, while providing in-text code blocks along the way to demonstrate how it can be used to build and run active inference processes with ease. We developed pymdp to increase the accessibility and exposure of the active inference framework to researchers, engineers, and developers with diverse disciplinary backgrounds. In the spirit of open-source software, we also hope that it spurs new innovation, development, and collaboration in the growing active inference community.

The Theory of Deep Learning - Deep Neural Networks 2022

#artificialintelligence

Learn The Theory of Deep Learning in the most comprehensive and up-to-date course on the topic created by The Click Reader. In this course, you will learn the inspiration behind deep learning and how it relates to the human brain. You will also gain clear knowledge about the building blocks of neural networks (called neurons) along with how they compute, make predictions, and learn. We will then move on to learning the theory of deep neural networks, including how data is fed into it, how neurons compute the data, and how predictions are made. We'll end the course by learning how deep neural networks learn/train using a combination of feed-forward and back-propagation cycles.
