How I became a Software Developer during the pandemic without a degree or a bootcamp

#artificialintelligence

In 2018 I was depressed and unmotivated, I thought of myself as a failure and I thought I was too dumb to finish my degree or learn anything at all, I had no direction in life and just wanted everything to be over. Two years later, one spent working abroad and another dedicated to studying, I have a completely different perspective about myself and I just started my new exciting developer job on Monday. It took a lot of courage (and argumentations to convince my parents) to leave my university after three years of studies to accept a job in a Lisbon without knowing anyone nor the language but it was a wonderful experience that helped me find myself. Again it took even more grit and determination to leave Lisbon and start studying again, but I did it because I knew my dream was to become a programmer. I have no expertise in psychology and the best advice I have if you are in a dark place is to seek professional help, but I know what it feels to be lost and I want to help anyone that shares my same dream by writing this article offering actionable advice on how to achieve a career in software development.


6 Books on Ensemble Learning

#artificialintelligence

Ensemble learning involves combining the predictions from multiple machine learning models. The effect can be both improved predictive performance and lower variance of the predictions made by the model. Ensemble methods are covered in most textbooks on machine learning; nevertheless, there are books dedicated to the topic. In this post, you will discover the top books on the topic of ensemble machine learning. There are also some books from Packt, but I won't be reviewing them; they are: Did I miss a book on ensemble learning?

Do you know the average salary is $100.000 for data science careers! Data science experts are needed in almost every field, from government security to dating apps. Millions of businesses and government departments rely on big data to succeed and better serve their customers.


Exploring Robotics with ROBOTIS Systems - Programmer Books

#artificialintelligence

This book presents foundational robotics concepts using the ROBOTIS BIOLOID and OpenCM-904 robotic systems, and is suitable as a curriculum for a first course in robotics for undergraduate students or a self-learner. It covers wheel-based robots, as well as walking robots. Although it uses the standard "Sense, Think, Act" approach, communications (bot-to-bot and PC-to-bot) programming concepts are treated in more depth (wired and wireless ZigBee/BlueTooth). Algorithms are developed and described via ROBOTIS' proprietary RoboPlus IDE, as well as the more open Arduino-based Embedded C environments. Additionally, web-based multimedia materials are used for illustrating robotics concepts, code implementations and videos of actual resulting robot behaviors. Advanced sensor interfacing for gyroscope, inertial measuring unit, foot pressure sensor and color camera are also demonstrated.

Increase Your Python Expertise If you have a desire to learn machine learning concepts and have some previous programming or Python experience, this course is perfect for you. If you're more of a beginner than an intermediate, don't worry; each module starts with theory to explain upcoming concepts.


More colleges could offer engineering courses in emerging fields like robotics, AI from 2021

#artificialintelligence

New Delhi: Engineering colleges under the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) will soon be able to offer courses in emerging fields -- artificial intelligence, robotics, machine learning and others -- from the academic year 2021-22. The council has sought a list of the new courses from institutions that were already offering them from 2020-21, and will add them to the AICTE's approval handbook from next year. Once done, the new curriculum will become official, enabling more colleges to offer the courses to students. The idea is to make students employment-ready in line with the new National Education Policy. Making the announcement in a circular dated 29 October, the AICTE said, "lt is seen that during the approval process 2020-21, many institutions have made use of this opportunity for introduction of new courses in the emerging disciplines approved by the council. We all understand that the introduction of more number of new courses in emerging areas or Interdisciplinary Courses would help the student community in their goal of employability or entrepreneurship and this is also stated in the new National Education Policy 2020."


2021 Python for Machine Learning & Data Science Masterclass

#artificialintelligence

This is currently in an Early Bird Beta access, meaning we are still going to be continually adding content to the course (even though we are already at over 20 hours of content!) Since we're still adding content and taking student feedback as we complete the course through the start of 2021, students who enroll now will get access to a wide variety of benefits! What do you get with Early Bird Access? You will get exclusive access to weekly live video streams where we will go through interactive machine learning projects! You'll be able to directly ask questions during the streams that will coincide with section launches corresponding to new machine learning algorithms added to the course content! These weekly streams will also include live Q&A with the instructor of the course, Jose Portilla.

On the Equivalence between Online and Private Learnability beyond Binary Classification

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Alon et al. [2019] and Bun et al. [2020] recently showed that online learnability and private PAC learnability are equivalent in binary classification. We investigate whether this equivalence extends to multi-class classification and regression. First, we show that private learnability implies online learnability in both settings. Our extension involves studying a novel variant of the Littlestone dimension that depends on a tolerance parameter and on an appropriate generalization of the concept of threshold functions beyond binary classification. Second, we show that while online learnability continues to imply private learnability in multi-class classification, current proof techniques encounter significant hurdles in the regression setting. While the equivalence for regression remains open, we provide non-trivial sufficient conditions for an online learnable class to also be privately learnable.
