Foundations of Data Science: K-Means Clustering in Python
This Course Organisations all around the world are using data to predict behaviours and extract valuable real-world insights to inform decisions. Managing and analysing big data has become an essential part of modern finance, retail, marketing, social science, development and research, medicine and government. This MOOC, designed by an academic team from Goldsmiths, University of London, will quickly introduce you to the core concepts of Data Science to prepare you for intermediate and advanced Data Science courses. It focuses on the basic mathematics, statistics and programming skills that are necessary for typical data analysis tasks. You will consider these fundamental concepts on an example data clustering task, and you will use this example to learn basic programming skills that are necessary for mastering Data Science techniques.
How to Deploy an NLP Model with FastAPI
If you're working with Natural Language Processing, knowing how to deploy a model is one of the most important skills you'll need to have. Model deployment is the process of integrating your model into an existing production environment. The model will receive input and predict an output for decision-making for a specific use case. There are different ways you can deploy your NLP model into production, like using Flask, Django, Bottle or other frameworks. But in today's article, you will learn how to build and deploy your NLP model with FastAPI.
Applications of the Free Energy Principle to Machine Learning and Neuroscience
In this thesis, we explore and apply methods inspired by the free energy principle to two important areas in machine learning and neuroscience. The free energy principle is a general mathematical theory of the necessary information-theoretic behaviours of systems which maintain a separation from their environment. A core postulate of the theory is that complex systems can be seen as performing variational Bayesian inference and minimizing an information-theoretic quantity called the variational free energy. The free energy principle originated in, and has been extremely influential in theoretical neuroscience, having spawned a number of neurophysiologically realistic process theories, and maintaining close links with Bayesian Brain viewpoints. The thesis is split into three main parts where we apply methods and insights from the free energy principle to understand questions first in perception, then action, and finally learning. Specifically, in the first section, we focus on the theory of predictive coding, a neurobiologically plausible process theory derived from the free energy principle under certain assumptions, which argues that the primary function of the brain is to minimize prediction errors. We focus on scaling up predictive coding architectures and simulate large-scale predictive coding networks for perception on machine learning benchmarks; we investigate predictive coding's relationship to other classical filtering algorithms, and we demonstrate that many biologically implausible aspects of current models of predictive coding can be relaxed without unduly harming the performance of predictive coding models which allows for a potentially more literal translation of predictive coding theory into cortical microcircuits. In the second part of the thesis, we focus on the application of methods deriving from the free energy principle to action. We study the extension of methods of'active inference', a neurobiologically grounded account of action through variational message passing, to utilize deep artificial neural networks, allowing these methods to'scale up' to be competitive with state of the art deep reinforcement learning methods.

Top Machine Learning Courses to Pursue
Machine learning (ML), is the study of computer algorithms, that improve automatically through experience and by the use of data. It is seen as a part of artificial intelligence. Machine learning algorithms, build a model based on sample data, known as "training data", in order to make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed to do so. Machine learning algorithms are used in a wide variety of applications, such as in medicine, email filtering, speech recognition, and computer vision, where it is difficult or unfeasible to develop conventional algorithms to perform the needed tasks. In simple words, machine learning is a subset under the broad umbrella of artificial intelligence.

Mind and Machine Specialization
About this Specialization 2,647 recent views This specialization examines the ways in which our current understanding of human thinking is both illuminated and challenged by the evolving techniques and ideas of artificial intelligence and computer science. Our collective understanding of "minds" – both biological and computational – has been revolutionized over the past half-century by themes originating in fields like cognitive psychology, machine learning, neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and game theory, among others. This specialization focuses on both the larger "historical" arc of these changes as well as current research directions and controversies. Applied Learning Project By completing the Mind and Machine specialization, students will be able to: (1) demonstrate their understanding of topics and strategies through quizzes, and (2) discuss and debate different arguments and interpretations of philosophical issues in discussions and peer-reviewed activities. In this course, we will explore the history of cognitive science and the way these ideas shape how we think of artificial cognition.
6 Python Projects You Can Finish in a Weekend
Learning Python can be difficult. You might spend a lot of time watching videos and reading books; however, if you can't put all the concepts learned into practice, that time will be wasted. This is why you should get your hands dirty with Python projects. A project will help you bring together everything you've learned, stay motivated, build a portfolio and come up with ways of approaching problems and solving them with code. In this article, I listed some projects that helped me level up my Python code and hopefully will help you too.
