Hands-On Tutorial On Machine Learning Pipelines With Scikit-Learn
With increasing demand in machine learning and data science in businesses, for upgraded data strategizing there's a need for a better workflow to ensure robustness in data modelling. Machine learning has certain steps to be followed namely – data collection, data preprocessing(cleaning and feature engineering), model training, validation and prediction on the test data(which is previously unseen by model). Here testing data needs to go through the same preprocessing as training data. For this iterative process, pipelines are used which can automate the entire process for both training and testing data. It ensures reusability of the model by reducing the redundant part, thereby speeding up the process.
From the Expectation Maximisation Algorithm to Autoencoded Variational Bayes
Although the expectation maximisation (EM) algorithm was introduced in 1970, it remains somewhat inaccessible to machine learning practitioners due to its obscure notation, terse proofs and lack of concrete links to modern machine learning techniques like autoencoded variational Bayes. This has resulted in gaps in the AI literature concerning the meaning of such concepts like ``latent variables'' and ``variational lower bound,'' which are frequently used but often not clearly explained. The roots of these ideas lie in the EM algorithm. We first give a tutorial presentation of the EM algorithm for estimating the parameters of a $K$-component mixture density. The Gaussian mixture case is presented in detail using $K$-ary scalar hidden (or latent) variables rather than the more traditional binary valued $K$-dimenional vectors. This presentation is motivated by mixture modelling from the target tracking literature. In a similar style to Bishop's 2009 book, we present variational Bayesian inference as a generalised EM algorithm stemming from the variational (or evidential) lower bound, as well as the technique of mean field approximation (or product density transform). We continue the evolution from EM to variational autoencoders, developed by Kingma & Welling in 2014. In so doing, we establish clear links between the EM algorithm and its variational counterparts, hence clarifying the meaning of ``latent variables.'' We provide a detailed coverage of the ``reparametrisation trick'' and focus on how the AEVB differs from conventional variational Bayesian inference. Throughout the tutorial, consistent notational conventions are used. This unifies the narrative and clarifies the concepts. Some numerical examples are given to further illustrate the algorithms.
AI or Data Science? Mapping Your Career Path
Why is there often confusion surrounding where to start when it comes to approaching a career in AI or data science? There are many intersections and overlaps between AI and data science. AI has numerous subsets, like Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), and Natural Language Processing (NLP). With many career opportunities in both fields, there are lots of conflicting perspectives on educational paths for starting a career in one of these fields. The live webinar will include a Q&A with Ronald.
Artificial Intelligence with Python Cookbook
With artificial intelligence (AI) systems, we can develop goal-driven agents to automate problem-solving. This involves predicting and classifying the available data and training agents to execute tasks successfully. This book will help you to solve complex AI problems using practical recipes. The AI with Python book starts by showing you how to install Python and its essential packages and then takes you through the fundamentals of data loading and exploration of datasets. You'll learn how to build probabilistic models and work with heuristic search techniques.

PyliteML is a suite of Machine Learning tools that will help you make your IoT Applications even smarter. Edge of Network IoT solutions must become more autonomous and help end users make even smarter and more decisions. But we don't need to tell you all the benefits of Machine Learning…you probably know all about it already. We have some cool tutorials on our Youtube channel and below is an overview of the way we've implemented it. In this video, we follow the 3 steps necessary to create and set up a model in Pybytes.
Building a Full Stack Project Using a Custom Built Rails API
The following blog post is a tutorial on building a Full Stack project using JavaScript and a Rails API. JavaScript is a powerful object oriented programming language that can be used to build web applications. JavaScript is a multipurpose and a convenient programming language that allows for both front-end and back-end development. The domain for the Full Stack application project in the following tutorial is a course registration project. This project mimics a registration application in which an administrator (Admin) would register a student into a particular course.
Facebook's AI team expands post-grad courses for Black and Latinx students
Facebook says that it will expand an online course in deep learning to more students to help improve the diversity of its AI division. After a successful pilot program at Georgia Tech, the company will roll out this graduate-level course in deep learning to more colleges across 2021. The focus will be on offering the system to universities that serve large numbers of Black and Latinx students. It's hoped that, by improving the diversity of the people building these systems, some of the more odious biases will be weeded out. This is part of a broader program to encourage people to enter the computer science field even if their undergraduate training is in another area.
