Intel, Community College District in Arizona Launch First-of-its-Kind AI Lab
Arnav Bawa, a student in the artificial intelligence program at Chandler Gilbert Community College, has developed an AI application to interpret EEG brain wave scans. The application can help predict brain seizures, so a patient can take medication or prevent injury from falling. William Glover, a student in the artificial intelligence program at Chandler Gilbert Community College, has developed an AI application for drones. The application can be used in indoor search and rescue situations. It uses AI to interpret a live video feed to look for and recognize people who may be trapped in a burning building.
'Really alarming': the rise of smart cameras used to catch maskless students US schools
When students in suburban Atlanta returned to school for in-person classes amid the pandemic, they were required to mask up, like in many places across the US. Yet in this 95,000-student district, officials took mask compliance a step further than most. Through a network of security cameras, officials harnessed artificial intelligence to identify students whose masks drooped below their noses. "If they say a picture is worth a thousand words, if I send you a piece of video – it's probably worth a million," said Paul Hildreth, the district's emergency operations coordinator. "You really can't deny, 'Oh yeah, that's me, I took my mask off.'"
In AI, You Want to Be a Jazz Band
As I continue working on exciting research in Artificial Intelligence, I like making parallels with other areas of science and life in general. I think there is a perfect metaphor from music that explains the AI market. Since helping people fight their health problems is my passion, I'll focus on AI in healthcare. The AI market is currently overwhelmingly at the two opposite extremes -- a high school band and a 7,500-person orchestra. Both extremes are perfectly acceptable and have their audiences. However, there is not much in the middle.

Taiwan Built AI Robot as Smart Learning Partner
The Industrial Development Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs has led the "Smart City Taiwan" project in response to the government's goal to promote industrial upgrading and transformation and smart technologies. Through public-private-people partnership mechanism, the Smart City Taiwan project utilizes smart technologies to drive smart services (healthcare, governance/safety, transportation, agriculture, education, and tourism and retail) in 22 cities/countries across Taiwan. As of today, about 300 businesses have participated in the project, offering 223 smart services to 8.54 million people. These smart services have successfully solved the pain points of the general public and have also been introduced to foreign countries. For young children, a variety of stimulant interactions can be triggers for learning.
udemy-100-of-machine-learning-neural-networks-from-scratch-python
This course is about artificial neural networks. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are getting more and more popular nowadays. In the beginning, other techniques such as Support Vector Machines outperformed neural networks, but in the 21st century neural networks again gain popularity. In spite of the slow training procedure, neural networks can be very powerful. In the first part of the course you will learn about the theoretical background of neural networks, later you will learn how to implement them in Python from scratch.
STICC: A multivariate spatial clustering method for repeated geographic pattern discovery with consideration of spatial contiguity
Kang, Yuhao, Wu, Kunlin, Gao, Song, Ng, Ignavier, Rao, Jinmeng, Ye, Shan, Zhang, Fan, Fei, Teng
Spatial clustering has been widely used for spatial data mining and knowledge discovery. An ideal multivariate spatial clustering should consider both spatial contiguity and aspatial attributes. Existing spatial clustering approaches may face challenges for discovering repeated geographic patterns with spatial contiguity maintained. In this paper, we propose a Spatial Toeplitz Inverse Covariance-Based Clustering (STICC) method that considers both attributes and spatial relationships of geographic objects for multivariate spatial clustering. A subregion is created for each geographic object serving as the basic unit when performing clustering. A Markov random field is then constructed to characterize the attribute dependencies of subregions. Using a spatial consistency strategy, nearby objects are encouraged to belong to the same cluster. To test the performance of the proposed STICC algorithm, we apply it in two use cases. The comparison results with several baseline methods show that the STICC outperforms others significantly in terms of adjusted rand index and macro-F1 score. Join count statistics is also calculated and shows that the spatial contiguity is well preserved by STICC. Such a spatial clustering method may benefit various applications in the fields of geography, remote sensing, transportation, and urban planning, etc.
Optimization for Classical Machine Learning Problems on the GPU
Laue, Sören, Blacher, Mark, Giesen, Joachim
GPU, the same code needs 5.2 seconds in total while 4.6 seconds Training classical machine learning models typically means are spent in the Cauchy point subroutine. It can be seen solving an optimization problem. Hence, the design and implementation that while all other parts of the L-BFGS-B algorithm can of solvers for training these models has been be parallelized nicely on a GPU, the inherently sequential and still is an active research topic. While the use of GPUs Cauchy point computation does not and instead, dominates is standard in training deep learning models, most solvers the computation time on the GPU; as a result, the L-BFGS-B for classical machine learning problems still target CPUs.
