Data Science for All : A non-coding course
What is data science, why is it so popular, and why did the Harvard Business Review hail it as the "sexiest job of the 21st century"? Welcome to the Data Science for All course, where you will learn everything that you need to know about this rapidly growing exiting field of DS. I am Anmol Tomar, a Data Scientist with over 5.5 years of experience in Data Science. I have worked with various fortune 500 clients in various domains such as retail, insurance, banking and helped them take data driven decisions. In this non-technical course, i'll be introduced to everything you were ever too afraid to ask about this fast-growing and exciting field, without needing to write a single line of code.
A Gentle Introduction to the Laplacian
The Laplace operator was first applied to the study of celestial mechanics, or the motion of objects in outer space, by Pierre-Simon de Laplace, and as such has been named after him. The Laplace operator has since been used to describe many different phenomena, from electric potentials, to the diffusion equation for heat and fluid flow, and quantum mechanics. It has also been recasted to the discrete space, where it has been used in applications related to image processing and spectral clustering. In this tutorial, you will discover a gentle introduction to the Laplacian. A Gentle Introduction to the Laplacian Photo by Aziz Acharki, some rights reserved.
Teaching Uncertainty Quantification in Machine Learning through Use Cases
Uncertainty in machine learning is not generally taught as general knowledge in Machine Learning course curricula. In this paper we propose a short curriculum for a course about uncertainty in machine learning, and complement the course with a selection of use cases, aimed to trigger discussion and let students play with the concepts of uncertainty in a programming setting. Our use cases cover the concept of output uncertainty, Bayesian neural networks and weight distributions, sources of uncertainty, and out of distribution detection. We expect that this curriculum and set of use cases motivates the community to adopt these important concepts into courses for safety in AI.
Provably Efficient Generative Adversarial Imitation Learning for Online and Offline Setting with Linear Function Approximation
Liu, Zhihan, Zhang, Yufeng, Fu, Zuyue, Yang, Zhuoran, Wang, Zhaoran
In generative adversarial imitation learning (GAIL), the agent aims to learn a policy from an expert demonstration so that its performance cannot be discriminated from the expert policy on a certain predefined reward set. In this paper, we study GAIL in both online and offline settings with linear function approximation, where both the transition and reward function are linear in the feature maps. Besides the expert demonstration, in the online setting the agent can interact with the environment, while in the offline setting the agent only accesses an additional dataset collected by a prior. For online GAIL, we propose an optimistic generative adversarial policy optimization algorithm (OGAP) and prove that OGAP achieves $\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}(H^2 d^{3/2}K^{1/2}+KH^{3/2}dN_1^{-1/2})$ regret. Here $N_1$ represents the number of trajectories of the expert demonstration, $d$ is the feature dimension, and $K$ is the number of episodes. For offline GAIL, we propose a pessimistic generative adversarial policy optimization algorithm (PGAP). For an arbitrary additional dataset, we obtain the optimality gap of PGAP, achieving the minimax lower bound in the utilization of the additional dataset. Assuming sufficient coverage on the additional dataset, we show that PGAP achieves $\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}(H^{2}dK^{-1/2} +H^2d^{3/2}N_2^{-1/2}+H^{3/2}dN_1^{-1/2} \ )$ optimality gap. Here $N_2$ represents the number of trajectories of the additional dataset with sufficient coverage.
A deep understanding of deep learning (with Python intro)
Created by Mike X Cohen 54.5 hours on-demand video course Deep learning is increasingly dominating technology and has major implications for society. From self-driving cars to medical diagnoses, from face recognition to deep fakes, and from language translation to music generation, deep learning is spreading like wildfire throughout all areas of modern technology. But deep learning is not only about super-fancy, cutting-edge, highly sophisticated applications. Deep learning is increasingly becoming a standard tool in machine-learning, data science, and statistics. Deep learning is used by small startups for data mining and dimension reduction, by governments for detecting tax evasion, and by scientists for detecting patterns in their research data.

Free From Stanford: Machine Learning with Graphs - KDnuggets
Many top universities make some of their courses available for free to non-students, a trend which has been gradually increasing over the years. While perhaps not the first example of such an offering, we can thank Andrew Ng (among others, certainly) for making his Stanford Machine Learning course available beyond the classroom, first via third party means, and then as one of the first courses on the MOOC platform Coursera. Since then, courses offered both via such a platform as well as those with publicly-accessible course websites have rapidly increased in number. There are no shortages of quality, free university level courses these days & mdash especially in computer science, data science, machine learning, and other tech disciplines. Right off the bat, note that when we say "free" we mean that much of a course's learning material has been made available to the masses without cost.
The Chain Rule of Calculus for Univariate and Multivariate Functions
The chain rule allows us to find the derivative of composite functions. It is computed extensively by the backpropagation algorithm, in order to train feedforward neural networks. By applying the chain rule in an efficient manner while following a specific order of operations, the backpropagation algorithm calculates the error gradient of the loss function with respect to each weight of the network. In this tutorial, you will discover the chain rule of calculus for univariate and multivariate functions.

How to Choose a Feature Selection Method For Machine Learning
Feature selection is the process of reducing the number of input variables when developing a predictive model. It is desirable to reduce the number of input variables to both reduce the computational cost of modeling and, in some cases, to improve the performance of the model. Statistical-based feature selection methods involve evaluating the relationship between each input variable and the target variable using statistics and selecting those input variables that have the strongest relationship with the target variable. These methods can be fast and effective, although the choice of statistical measures depends on the data type of both the input and output variables. As such, it can be challenging for a machine learning practitioner to select an appropriate statistical measure for a dataset when performing filter-based feature selection.
