Data Scientist Job Description: What to Expect in 2023

#artificialintelligence

It's been said that you can't improve something that you can't measure. And so, in today's digital landscape, where every interaction becomes a measurable data point, data scientists are increasingly in high demand. The job of a data scientist now ranks sixth on U.S. News' "100 Best Jobs" list. And it's easy to see why. Data scientists solve real-world problems, which is why many data scientists (even entry-level ones) make more than a hundred thousand dollars a year.


Top 10 Career Prospects in Data Science

#artificialintelligence

A Data Scientist extracts insights from raw data and uses them to solve a problem. Data scientists are in high demand as they can help companies make sense of the ever-growing amount of data available. A career in data science can be very rewarding as there are many opportunities for growth and development. The work is interesting, challenging, and intellectually stimulating. Here is a list of the top 10 career prospects in Data Science. Whether you're looking to start a career in data science or want to upgrade your existing skills, you'll need to be prepared to work with massive amounts of data. The demand for data analysts is growing rapidly. While the field has been around for a while, the latest trends and developments show that it is still very much alive and kicking.


Deep reinforcement learning of event-triggered communication and consensus-based control for distributed cooperative transport

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In this paper, we present a solution to a design problem of control strategies for multi-agent cooperative transport. Although existing learning-based methods assume that the number of agents is the same as that in the training environment, the number might differ in reality considering that the robots' batteries may completely discharge, or additional robots may be introduced to reduce the time required to complete a task. Therefore, it is crucial that the learned strategy be applicable to scenarios wherein the number of agents differs from that in the training environment. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-agent reinforcement learning framework of event-triggered communication and consensus-based control for distributed cooperative transport. The proposed policy model estimates the resultant force and torque in a consensus manner using the estimates of the resultant force and torque with the neighborhood agents. Moreover, it computes the control and communication inputs to determine when to communicate with the neighboring agents under local observations and estimates of the resultant force and torque. Therefore, the proposed framework can balance the control performance and communication savings in scenarios wherein the number of agents differs from that in the training environment. We confirm the effectiveness of our approach by using a maximum of eight and six robots in the simulations and experiments, respectively.


To think inside the box, or to think out of the box? Scientific discovery via the reciprocation of insights and concepts

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

If scientific discovery is one of the main driving forces of human progress, insight is the fuel for the engine, which has long attracted behavior-level research to understand and model its underlying cognitive process. However, current tasks that abstract scientific discovery mostly focus on the emergence of insight, ignoring the special role played by domain knowledge. In this concept paper, we view scientific discovery as an interplay between $thinking \ out \ of \ the \ box$ that actively seeks insightful solutions and $thinking \ inside \ the \ box$ that generalizes on conceptual domain knowledge to keep correct. Accordingly, we propose Mindle, a semantic searching game that triggers scientific-discovery-like thinking spontaneously, as infrastructure for exploring scientific discovery on a large scale. On this basis, the meta-strategies for insights and the usage of concepts can be investigated reciprocally. In the pilot studies, several interesting observations inspire elaborated hypotheses on meta-strategies, context, and individual diversity for further investigations.


Mixed Cloud Control Testbed: Validating Vehicle-Road-Cloud Integration via Mixed Digital Twin

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Reliable and efficient validation technologies are critical for the recent development of multi-vehicle cooperation and vehicle-road-cloud integration. In this paper, we introduce our miniature experimental platform, Mixed Cloud Control Testbed (MCCT), developed based on a new notion of Mixed Digital Twin (mixedDT). Combining Mixed Reality with Digital Twin, mixedDT integrates the virtual and physical spaces into a mixed one, where physical entities coexist and interact with virtual entities via their digital counterparts. Under the framework of mixedDT, MCCT contains three major experimental platforms in the physical, virtual and mixed spaces respectively, and provides a unified access for various human-machine interfaces and external devices such as driving simulators. A cloud unit, where the mixed experimental platform is deployed, is responsible for fusing multi-platform information and assigning control instructions, contributing to synchronous operation and real-time cross-platform interaction. Particularly, MCCT allows for multi-vehicle coordination composed of different multi-source vehicles (\eg, physical vehicles, virtual vehicles and human-driven vehicles). Validations on vehicle platooning demonstrate the flexibility and scalability of MCCT.

Free Machine Learning with Python Course by MIT

#artificialintelligence

If you have specific questions about this course, please contact us atsds-mm@mit.edu. Machine learning methods are commonly used across engineering and sciences, from computer systems to physics. Moreover, commercial sites such as search engines, recommender systems (e.g., Netflix, Amazon), advertisers, and financial institutions employ machine learning algorithms for content recommendation, predicting customer behavior, compliance, or risk. As a discipline, machine learning tries to design and understand computer programs that learn from experience for the purpose of prediction or control. In this course, students will learn about principles and algorithms for turning training data into effective automated predictions.


Let's Talk About How Data Biases Affect an AI Prediction

#artificialintelligence

Data is the fuel of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This is my opinion after researching this idea, but probably many experts would agree as the sentiment is widely accepted. Data alone can't prop up AI predictions, but without data, the system will not make predictions. Data biases are a major problem for an AI prediction if the AI model gives the wrong suggestion or answer. "Kindness is invincible, but only when it's sincere, with no hypocrisy or faking. For what can even the most malicious person do if you keep showing kindness and, if given the chance, you gently point out where they went wrong -- right as they are trying to harm you?" -- MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 11.18.5.9a
