Learning Predictive Analytics with R - Programmer Books

#artificialintelligence

R is statistical software that is used for data analysis. There are two main types of learning from data: unsupervised learning, where the structure of data is extracted automatically; and supervised learning, where a labeled part of the data is used to learn the relationship or scores in a target attribute. As important information is often hidden in a lot of data, R helps to extract that information with its many standard and cutting-edge statistical functions. This book is packed with easy-to-follow guidelines that explain the workings of the many key data mining tools of R, which are used to discover knowledge from your data. You will learn how to perform key predictive analytics tasks using R, such as train and test predictive models for classification and regression tasks, score new data sets and so on.

How Can You Build a Career in Data Science & Machine Learning?

#artificialintelligence

Machine Learning is the crux of Artificial Intelligence. With increasing developments in AI, IoT and other smart technologies, machine learning jobs are gaining higher exposure and demand in the technology market. If you are currently an IT professional, you might be interested in a career switch because of the exciting opportunities the industry offers to its aspirants. Or, you might have an interest that you have wanted to pursue long. However, not knowing exactly how to start a career in machine learning can lead an aspirant in the wrong way. There should be a proper agenda on how to identify the right opportunity and approach it in a systematic way. In this article, let us see some of the essential steps that one can take towards their machine learning journey.


5 Ways AI is Changing the Education Industry

#artificialintelligence

AI is changing the world of education in dozens of different ways, and among those ways is how students learn. Numerous obstacles hinder education from reaching its fullest potential: space, opportunity to pay someone to do your homework, access, etc., and this access crisis are no mystery. We all know that many of our classrooms are not working very well, let alone meeting all the standards for optimal learning environments. What is it that is stopping us from getting better results? We need to consider 5 major reasons why AI may be solving many of the problems of today's classrooms.


An Overview of Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning from Game Theoretical Perspective

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Following the remarkable success of the AlphaGO series, 2019 was a booming year that witnessed significant advances in multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) techniques. MARL corresponds to the learning problem in a multi-agent system in which multiple agents learn simultaneously. MARL is an interdisciplinary domain with a long history that includes game theory, machine learning, stochastic control, psychology, and optimisation. Although MARL has achieved considerable empirical success in solving real-world games, there is a lack of a self-contained overview in the literature that elaborates the game theoretical foundations of modern MARL methods and summarises the recent advances. In fact, the majority of existing surveys are outdated and do not fully cover the recent developments since 2010. In this work, we provide a monograph on MARL that covers both the fundamentals and the latest developments in the research frontier. The goal of our monograph is to provide a self-contained assessment of the current state-of-the-art MARL techniques from a game theoretical perspective. We expect this work to serve as a stepping stone for both new researchers who are about to enter this fast-growing domain and existing domain experts who want to obtain a panoramic view and identify new directions based on recent advances.


A Practical Guide to Graph Neural Networks

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

NN variants have been designed to increase performance in certain problem domains; the convolutional neural network (CNN) excels in the context of image-based tasks, and the recurrent neural network (RNN) in the space of natural language processing and time series analysis. NNs have also been leveraged as components in composite DL frameworks -- they have been used as trainable generators and discriminators in generative adversarial networks (GANs), and as encoders and decoders in transformers [46]. Although they seem unrelated, the images used as inputs in computer vision, and the sentences used as inputs in natural language processing can both be represented by a single, general data structure: the graph (see Figure 1). Formally, a graph is a set of distinct vertices (representing items or entities) that are joined optionally to each other by edges (representing relationships). The learning architecture that has been designed to process said graphs is the titular graph neural network (GNN). Uniquely, the graphs fed into a GNN (during training and evaluation) do not have strict structural requirements per se; the number of vertices and edges between input graphs can change. In this way, GNNs can handle unstructured, non-Euclidean data [4], a property which makes them valuable in certain problem domains where graph data is abundant. Conversely, NN-based algorithms are typically required to operate on structured inputs with strictly defined dimensions.

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?
