Top Machine Learning Courses to Pursue

#artificialintelligence

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

#artificialintelligence

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" โ€“ both biological and computational โ€“ 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

#artificialintelligence

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.


Unified Framework for Spectral Dimensionality Reduction, Maximum Variance Unfolding, and Kernel Learning By Semidefinite Programming: Tutorial and Survey

arXiv.org Machine Learning

This is a tutorial and survey paper on unification of spectral dimensionality reduction methods, kernel learning by Semidefinite Programming (SDP), Maximum Variance Unfolding (MVU) or Semidefinite Embedding (SDE), and its variants. We first explain how the spectral dimensionality reduction methods can be unified as kernel Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with different kernels. This unification can be interpreted as eigenfunction learning or representation of kernel in terms of distance matrix. Then, since the spectral methods are unified as kernel PCA, we say let us learn the best kernel for unfolding the manifold of data to its maximum variance. We first briefly introduce kernel learning by SDP for the transduction task. Then, we explain MVU in detail. Various versions of supervised MVU using nearest neighbors graph, by class-wise unfolding, by Fisher criterion, and by colored MVU are explained. We also explain out-of-sample extension of MVU using eigenfunctions and kernel mapping. Finally, we introduce other variants of MVU including action respecting embedding, relaxed MVU, and landmark MVU for big data.


Intelligent Break

#artificialintelligence

Taught by Professor Mausam of the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, it discusses the philosophy of AI and how to model a new problem as an AI problem. It describes a variety of basic components of AI, such as search and logic, which can be used to model and solve a new problem. It also teaches many primary algorithms (a process or set of rules) to solve each formulation. The course prepares a student to take a variety of advanced courses in various subfields of AI. This teaches you the meaning of common AI terminology.

In this lesson, you will learn the foundations of neural network design and training in TensorFlow. In this lesson, you will learn to implement unsupervised learning methods for different kinds of problem domains.


AI vs ML: What's the Difference?

#artificialintelligence

Today, artificial intelligence and machine learning are two popular terms that have been often used interchangeably to describe an intelligent software or system. Even though both AI and ML are based on statistics and mathematics, they are not the same thing. Many people have been confused by these two terms. In this article, you will learn the distinctions between AI and ML with vivid examples. Artificial intelligence, or AI, is the ability of a computer or machine to mimic or imitate human intelligent behavior and perform human-like tasks.


Everything on Hierarchical Clustering

#artificialintelligence

In this article, you will learn. Clustering is the most common form of unsupervised learning on unlabeled data to clusters objects with common characteristics into discrete clusters based on a distance measure. Hierarchical Clustering is either bottom-up, referred to as Agglomerative clustering, or Divisive, which uses a top-down approach. A bottom-up approach where each data point is considered a singleton cluster at the start, clusters are iteratively merged based on similarity until all data points have merged into one cluster. Agglomerative clustering agglomerates pairs of clusters based on maximum similarity calculated using distance metrics to obtain a new cluster, thus reducing the number of clusters with every iteration.


Troubleshooting a CloudFlare Gateway Timeout error 524 in a Flask-vue.js application

#artificialintelligence

The 524 Gateway Timeout error came out when I and Manuel Guzman (MSW R&D director) were testing an ML application that took few minutes to generate results and send them back to the user. It turns out that a timeout value in CloudFlare should be increased to fix this error. We looked of course on Cloudflare documentation on Q&A blogs on how to fix the error and the answer was that it is impossible to increase the timeout (Check this StackOverflow answer). With a little bit of brainstorming, we were able to resolve the issue following Manuel's idea. In this article, I will share with you all the steps we took to tackle the 524 Gateway Timeout Error in Cloudflare.
