Python for Data Science & Machine Learning from A-Z

#artificialintelligence

In this practical, hands-on course you'll learn how to program using Python for Data Science and Machine Learning. This includes data analysis, visualization, and how to make use of that data in a practical manner. Our main objective is to give you the education not just to understand the ins and outs of the Python programming language for Data Science and Machine Learning, but also to learn exactly how to become a professional Data Scientist with Python and land your first job. We'll go over some of the best and most important Python libraries for data science such as NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib NumPy -- A library that makes a variety of mathematical and statistical operations easier; it is also the basis for many features of the pandas library. Pandas -- A Python library created specifically to facilitate working with data, this is the bread and butter of a lot of Python data science work.


Using Machine Learning to Guess PINs from Video - Schneier on Security

#artificialintelligence

I'm guessing that if you put fingers on the whole row of numbers before pressing, you can defeat this particular AI. What you need is a little sleight of hand. Or press the button with the thumb under hand. Step 1) Hold your "dominant" hand out in front of you flat with the back of the hand upper most. Step 2) Bring your thumb under your hand so the thumb-nail is at the base of the little finger. Seen from the top your whole thumb down to the wrist should be "under your hand" and out of sight.

You could draw attention to exciting new developments in the field, interview a researcher, produce a tutorial video, review a paper or book, or summarise recent social media commentary.


Adding A Custom Attention Layer To Recurrent Neural Network In Keras

#artificialintelligence

Deep learning networks have gained immense popularity in the past few years. The'attention mechanism' is integrated with the deep learning networks to improve their performance. Adding attention component to the network has shown significant improvement in tasks such as machine translation, image recognition, text summarization and similar applications. This tutorial shows how to add a custom attention layer to a network built using a recurrent neural network. We'll illustrate an end to end application of time series forecasting using a very simple dataset.


Level-Up This November with the ODSC West 2021 Keynotes and Training Sessions - KDnuggets

#artificialintelligence

One mark of a successful data scientist is the desire to continue to learn and grow as new innovations, applications, and technologies are developed. At ODSC West 2021 this November 16th-18th, we'll have 80 training sessions and workshops on essential tools and languages led by some of the best and brightest minds in data science and AI. With options for both in-person and virtual tickets, there's a way for anyone to get the training they need. Here's a sneak peek at top ODSC West training sessions and workshops that cover our key focus areas like MLOps, NLP, and machine and deep learning. MLOps & Data Engineering are trending in 2021 as more companies move to operationalize machine learning and integrate with data engineering. NLP research breakthroughs accelerated in 2019 and 2020 and we expect to host many sessions on topics such as pre-trained NLP models, transfer learning, and transformers.


Efficient Robotic Manipulation Through Offline-to-Online Reinforcement Learning and Goal-Aware State Information

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

End-to-end learning robotic manipulation with high data efficiency is one of the key challenges in robotics. The latest methods that utilize human demonstration data and unsupervised representation learning has proven to be a promising direction to improve RL learning efficiency. The use of demonstration data also allows "warming-up" the RL policies using offline data with imitation learning or the recently emerged offline reinforcement learning algorithms. However, existing works often treat offline policy learning and online exploration as two separate processes, which are often accompanied by severe performance drop during the offline-to-online transition. Furthermore, many robotic manipulation tasks involve complex sub-task structures, which are very challenging to be solved in RL with sparse reward. In this work, we propose a unified offline-to-online RL framework that resolves the transition performance drop issue. Additionally, we introduce goal-aware state information to the RL agent, which can greatly reduce task complexity and accelerate policy learning. Combined with an advanced unsupervised representation learning module, our framework achieves great training efficiency and performance compared with the state-of-the-art methods in multiple robotic manipulation tasks.


Tidy Time Series Forecasting in R with Spark

#artificialintelligence

I'm SUPER EXCITED to show fellow time-series enthusiasts a new way that we can scale time series analysis using an amazing technology called Spark! Without Spark, large-scale forecasting projects of 10,000 time series can take days to run because of long-running for-loops and the need to test many models on each time series. Spark has been widely accepted as a "big data" solution, and we'll use it to scale-out (distribute) our time series analysis to Spark Clusters, and run our analysis in parallel. Spark is an amazing technology for processing large-scale data science workloads. Modeltime is a state-of-the-art forecasting library that I personally developed for "Tidy Forecasting" in R. Modeltime now integrates a Spark Backend with capability of forecasting 10,000 time series using distributed Spark Clusters.

The Application of Artificial Intelligence in Foreign Language - Nerdynaut

#artificialintelligence

The possibilities of artificial intelligence seem limitless. One of the most notable features of neural networks has been image manipulation. Restoring old photos or applying filters has been available for a long time. That's why artificial intelligence added to this process doesn't seem revolutionary. But creating images from scratch is a prime example of using technology.
