Artificial Intelligence with Python Cookbook

#artificialintelligence

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.

#artificialintelligence

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

#artificialintelligence

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

Engadget

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.

How to Apply Machine Learning to Your Digital Marketing Strategy

#artificialintelligence

One of the major innovations in the digital marketing industry is the introduction of artificial intelligence tools to help streamline marketing processes and make businesses more effective. According to QuanticMind, 97% of leaders believe that the future of marketing lies in the ways that digital marketers work alongside machine-learning based tools. As machine learning and artificial intelligence become more commonplace in the digital marketing landscape, it's imperative that best-in-class digital marketers learn how to apply machine learning to their digital marketing strategies. Machine learning and artificial intelligence are two separate entities that just so happen to complement each other. While artificial intelligence (AI) aims to harness certain aspects of the "thinking" mind, machine learning (ML) is helping humans solve problems in a more efficient way. As a subset of AI, ML uses data to tech itself how to complete a process with the help of AI capabilities.


Conditional independence by typing

arXiv.org Machine Learning

A central goal of probabilistic programming languages (PPLs) is to separate modelling from inference. However, this goal is hard to achieve in practice. Users are often forced to re-write their models in order to improve efficiency of inference or meet restrictions imposed by the PPL. Conditional independence (CI) relationships among parameters are a crucial aspect of probabilistic models that captures a qualitative summary of the specified model and can facilitate more efficient inference. We present an information flow type system for probabilistic programming that captures conditional independence (CI) relationships, and show that, for a well-typed program in our system, the distribution it implements is guaranteed to have certain CI-relationships. Further, by using type inference, we can statically \emph{deduce} which CI-properties are present in a specified model. As a practical application, we consider the problem of how to perform inference on models with mixed discrete and continuous parameters. Inference on such models is challenging in many existing PPLs, but can be improved through a workaround, where the discrete parameters are used \textit{implicitly}, at the expense of manual model re-writing. We present a source-to-source semantics-preserving transformation, which uses our CI-type system to automate this workaround by eliminating the discrete parameters from a probabilistic program. The resulting program can be seen as a hybrid inference algorithm on the original program, where continuous parameters can be drawn using efficient gradient-based inference methods, while the discrete parameters are drawn using variable elimination. We implement our CI-type system and its example application in SlicStan: a compositional variant of Stan.


Accelerating Reinforcement Learning with Learned Skill Priors

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Intelligent agents rely heavily on prior experience when learning a new task, yet most modern reinforcement learning (RL) approaches learn every task from scratch. One approach for leveraging prior knowledge is to transfer skills learned on prior tasks to the new task. However, as the amount of prior experience increases, the number of transferable skills grows too, making it challenging to explore the full set of available skills during downstream learning. Yet, intuitively, not all skills should be explored with equal probability; for example information about the current state can hint which skills are promising to explore. In this work, we propose to implement this intuition by learning a prior over skills. We propose a deep latent variable model that jointly learns an embedding space of skills and the skill prior from offline agent experience. We then extend common maximum-entropy RL approaches to use skill priors to guide downstream learning. We validate our approach, SPiRL (Skill-Prior RL), on complex navigation and robotic manipulation tasks and show that learned skill priors are essential for effective skill transfer from rich datasets.
