AI Workflow: Enterprise Model Deployment

#artificialintelligence

This is the fifth course in the IBM AI Enterprise Workflow Certification specialization. You are STRONGLY encouraged to complete these courses in order as they are not individual independent courses, but part of a workflow where each course builds on the previous ones. This course introduces you to an area that few data scientists are able to experience: Deploying models for use in large enterprises. Apache Spark is a very commonly used framework for running machine learning models. Best practices for using Spark will be covered in this course.


Every Engineer Should and Can Learn Machine Learning - KDnuggets

#artificialintelligence

To mark the occasion, we sat down with course designer and software engineer Sourabh Bajaj (previously Neeva, Google, Coursera) to talk about the evolution of the ML role, how he designed the course to connect with today's business needs, and how he thinks students can apply the covered topics at the end of each course! Sourabh: A few big changes that have happened in the space is that early on, ML engineers were spending a ton of time in model development. And in some sense, the ML engineer role itself didn't exist--it was more common that you could find a ML researcher role, where you would be responsible for cleaning data, productionizing your models, and building models and iterating of them. This role was primarily driven by a lack of infrastructure, where there was not great tooling for ML. And, even if the tooling existed, it was much harder to productionize these models.


Not just for big business: how AI went mainstream - Raconteur

#artificialintelligence

Not so long ago, AI was the preserve of the largest organisations, mainly because of its cost and complexity. But this is starting to change. As the technology becomes more affordable, the largest hosting providers, such as Microsoft, Amazon and Google, are opening up access to shared resources and pre-packaged AI systems with offerings aimed at smaller businesses. With AI becoming sophisticated enough to program itself, some leading technology providers are even delving into the world of'citizen developers', as David Shrier, professor of practice, AI and innovation at Imperial College Business School, explains. "This capability is growing closer. Under such a model, a small business owner would rent AI capacity from a large tech company and describe a problem verbally to the AI. The computer would then write a program for itself to solve that problem," he says.

#artificialintelligence

The last 10 years have brought tremendous growth in artificial intelligence. Consumer internet companies have gathered vast amounts of data, which has been used to train powerful machine learning programs. Machine learning algorithms are widely available for many commercial applications, and some are open source. Now it's time to focus on the data that fuels these systems, according to AI pioneer Andrew Ng, SM '98, the founder of the Google Brain research lab, co-founder of Coursera, and former chief scientist at Baidu. Ng advocates for "data-centric AI," which he describes as "the discipline of systematically engineering the data needed to build a successful AI system."


Introduction to Machine Learning

#artificialintelligence

This course will provide you a foundational understanding of machine learning models (logistic regression, multilayer perceptrons, convolutional neural networks, natural language processing, etc.) as well as demonstrate how these models can solve complex problems in a variety of industries, from medical diagnostics to image recognition to text prediction. In addition, we have designed practice exercises that will give you hands-on experience implementing these data science models on data sets. These practice exercises will teach you how to implement machine learning algorithms with PyTorch, open source libraries used by leading tech companies in the machine learning field (e.g., Google, NVIDIA, CocaCola, eBay, Snapchat, Uber and many more).

AI Trained on 4Chan Becomes 'Hate Speech Machine'

#artificialintelligence

Kathryn Cramer, a Complex Systems & Data Science graduate student at the University of Vermont, pointed out that GPT-3 has guardrails that prevent it from being used to build this kind of racist bot and that Kilcher had to use GPT-J to build his system. "I tried out the demo mode of your tool 4 times, using benign tweets from my feed as the seed text," Cramer said in a thread on Hugging Face. "In the first trial, one of the responding posts was a single word, the N word. The seed for my third trial was, I think, a single sentence about climate change. Your tool responded by expanding it into a conspiracy theory about the Rothschilds and Jews being behind it."

For a Second There, Someone Thought Using Taser Drones to Stop School Shootings Was a Good Idea

Slate

Armed police couldn't stop the shooters in Buffalo and in Uvalde. But perhaps a very small drone equipped with a Taser could. Specifically, Axon CEO Rick Smith said in a Thursday announcement, "non-lethal drones capable of incapacitating an active shooter in less than 60 seconds" (or so the press release goes), which would be stationed inside of schools. At the push of a panic button, a trained human pilot at a control center elsewhere in the country would launch a drone. With the help of a network of security cameras, they would try to target the drone's onboard Taser probes into the shooter's flesh, in the hope of keeping them down until police could arrive on the scene.
