Exploratory Data Analysis for Machine Learning

#artificialintelligence

This first course in the IBM Machine Learning Professional Certificate introduces you to Machine Learning and the content of the professional certificate. In this course you will realize the importance of good, quality data. You will learn common techniques to retrieve your data, clean it, apply feature engineering, and have it ready for preliminary analysis and hypothesis testing. By the end of this course you should be able to: Retrieve data from multiple data sources: SQL, NoSQL databases, APIs, Cloud Describe and use common feature selection and feature engineering techniques Handle categorical and ordinal features, as well as missing values Use a variety of techniques for detecting and dealing with outliers Articulate why feature scaling is important and use a variety of scaling techniques Who should take this course? This course targets aspiring data scientists interested in acquiring hands-on experience with Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in a business setting.


AI Decoded: New online course seeks to demystify Artificial Intelligence for all

#artificialintelligence

Today, over 50% of organizations worldwide report using some form of AI in their operations, but many people still lack foundational knowledge concerning what AI is, or its potential risks, benefits, and impacts. Moreover, women and girls are 25% less likely than men to know how to leverage digital technology for basic purposes, pointing to a further critical gender divide in the future of AI skill development. If left unchecked, these knowledge gaps may prove detrimental not only to the future of mental health and work in the digital age but may also prevent the next generation from adequately leveraging the opportunities AI presents. A new open online course, Destination AI, in collaboration with UNESCO, Institut Montaigne, OpenClassrooms and Fondation Abeona seeks to close these gaps in the form of an open and accessible online course. We sat down with some of the minds behind the development of Destination AI to learn more about its goals, challenges, and potential impact. Democratizing knowledge about the risks and benefits of artificial intelligence can be challenging, especially when directed towards young audiences.


Introduction to DistilBERT in Student Model - Analytics Vidhya

#artificialintelligence

In 2018, GoogleAI researchers released the BERT model. It was a fantastic work that brought a revolution in the NLP domain. However, the BERT model did have some drawbacks i.e. it was bulky and hence a little slow. To navigate these issues, researchers from Hugging Face proposed DistilBERT, which employed knowledge distillation for model compression. In this article, we will look at this work in more detail.


Preventing excessive water consumption with tinyML

#artificialintelligence

As the frequency and intensity of droughts around the world continues to increase, being able to reduce our water usage is vital for maintaining already strained freshwater resources. And according to the EPA, leaving a faucet running, whether intentionally or by accident for just five minutes can consume over ten gallons of water. However, Naveen has leveraged the power of machine learning to build a device that can automatically detect running faucets and send alerts over a cellular network in response. The hardware for this project is primarily centered around a Blues Wireless Notecard for cellular connectivity, a Blues Wireless Notecarrier-B as its breakout board, and a machine learning-capable microcontroller in the form of an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense. Beyond merely having a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M4 processor and 1MB of flash storage, its built-in microphone can be used to easily capture audio data.



Tim van Kasteren, Adevinta: On using AI to improve online classifieds

#artificialintelligence

Amid global economic turmoil, using AI to improve online experiences and extract the most value from every investment is more important than ever. The advertising industry is a pioneer of AI and machine learning; harnessing the technologies to deliver personalised experiences that ensure the right content is put in front of the right people at the right time. AI News caught up with Tim van Kasteren, Head of Engineering at Adevinta, to learn more about how one of Europe's online classifieds leaders is using AI. AI News: From the top, how is AI improving online classifieds? Tim van Kasteren: Online classifieds are a form of two-sided marketplaces where a buyer and a seller come together to close a deal.


AI is changing scientists' understanding of language learning

#artificialintelligence

Unlike the carefully scripted dialogue found in most books and movies, the language of everyday interaction tends to be messy and incomplete, full of false starts, interruptions and people talking over each other. From casual conversations between friends, to bickering between siblings, to formal discussions in a boardroom, authentic conversation is chaotic. It seems miraculous that anyone can learn language at all given the haphazard nature of the linguistic experience. For this reason, many language scientists -- including Noam Chomsky, a founder of modern linguistics -- believe that language learners require a kind of glue to rein in the unruly nature of everyday language. And that glue is grammar: a system of rules for generating grammatical sentences.


The 5 most important recent developments in AI

#artificialintelligence

From solving maths and science problems to translating with astonishing accuracy between hundreds of languages – not to mention generating images and videos based on a natural language prompt – AI is making strides pretty much across the board. In this article, I'll briefly discuss some of the most recent (and the most exciting!) So, without further ado, let's dive in! Released on 1 August 2022, Minerva is a language model capable of not only solving maths and science problems submitted in the form of natural language, but also of providing its reasoning behind the answer. So far, Google has built three versions of the model, getting bigger with each iteration.


Machine Learning: Clustering & Retrieval

#artificialintelligence

A reader is interested in a specific news article and you want to find similar articles to recommend. What is the right notion of similarity? Moreover, what if there are millions of other documents? Each time you want to a retrieve a new document, do you need to search through all other documents? How do you group similar documents together?


Top C++ Based Data Science And Machine Learning Libraries

#artificialintelligence

Dynamic load balancing, adaptive caching, and the creation of comprehensive big data frameworks and libraries are all best done in C . The vast majority of the deep learning libraries listed below, including MongoDB and Google's MapReduce, have been developed in C . Scylla is a database management system developed in C and an alternative to Apache Cassandra and Amazon DynamoDB because of its incredibly low latency and high throughput. C is the finest language to use when developing large big data frameworks and libraries, dynamic load balancing, and adaptive caching. MongoDB and Google's MapReduce are examples of C -developed deep-learning libraries included in the list below.
