Cluster Analysis and Unsupervised Machine Learning in Python

#artificialintelligence

Created by Lazy Programmer Inc. English [Auto-generated], Portuguese [Auto-generated], 1 more Created by Lazy Programmer Inc. Cluster analysis is a staple of unsupervised machine learning and data science. It is very useful for data mining and big data because it automatically finds patterns in the data, without the need for labels, unlike supervised machine learning. In a real-world environment, you can imagine that a robot or an artificial intelligence won't always have access to the optimal answer, or maybe there isn't an optimal correct answer. You'd want that robot to be able to explore the world on its own, and learn things just by looking for patterns. Do you ever wonder how we get the data that we use in our supervised machine learning algorithms?


65 Competencies

Communications of the ACM

Analyzing data is now essential to success in education, employment, and other areas of activity in the knowledge society. Even though several frameworks describe the competencies and skills needed to meet current and future challenges, no data analytics competency framework exists to describe the importance of specific skills to succeed in data analytics assignments.


A Group Effort

Communications of the ACM

Fifty years ago, mathematician Paul Erds posed a problem to friends at one of his regular tea parties. The trio thought they would be able to come up with a solution the same afternoon. It took 49 years for other mathematicians to provide an answer. The Erds-Faber-Lovász conjecture focused on a familiar question in mathematics, one of graph coloring. However, this was not on a conventional graph, but on another more-complex structure: a hypergraph.

Then this course is just right for you! We will go over the basic, theoretical foundations of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and directly apply them in Python.


20 Minute Machine Learning Crash Course

#artificialintelligence

At the brand new Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Amazon debuted their Just Walk Out cashierless technology to enable fans to get out of their store and back in their seats as quickly as possible. This impressive system by Amazon is a recent application of artificial intelligence, one of the most promising emerging technologies that will have (and already is having) a major impact on our world. If you are inspired by this or other applications of AI to utilize the technology in your own way, you have to start somewhere. This guide will help you get started with the technical side of AI, starting from defining what a neural network exactly is to finding ways to optimize training of a neural network. Images in this guide are from this free course on Udacity. Feel free to check it out! Neural networks are tools that can be used to solve classification problems. Given an image of a dish, classify it as a pancake or a waffle. Given a handwritten number, classify it as a digit from 0–9. In the above graph, we are trying to predict whether or not a student gets accepted into a particular university based on their grades and test scores.


Journey to ML, Part 2: Skills of a (Marketable) Machine Learning Engineer

#artificialintelligence

Becoming a machine learning engineer still isn't quite as straightforward as becoming a web or mobile engineer, as we discussed in Part 1 of this series. This is despite all of the new programs geared toward machine learning both inside and outside of traditional schools. If you ask many people with the title of "Machine Learning Engineer" what they do, you'll often get wildly different answers. The goal of this post is to help you put together the beginnings of a mental semantic tree (Khan Academy's example of such a tree) for learning machine learning (à la Elon Musk's now famous method). As such, this post is probably going to have a bit more lists and hyperlinks than previous (or future) posts in this series. So, based on my own experiences, as well as reaching out to hundreds of machine learning engineers in both academia and industry, here's an overview of the soft skills, basic technical skills, and more specialized skills you'll need.


IIT Madras offers fellowship in AI and data science for women

#artificialintelligence

Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IIT-M) has offered a fellowship in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science for women researchers. The fellowship -- called'RBCDSAI Women Post Baccalaureate Fellowships' -- will be offered through IIT-M's Robert Bosch Centre for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (RBCDSAI) and the selected candidates will be entitled to get a monthly stipend of ₹40,000 for the respected period of their internship, which is one or two years as per the interest of the candidate. The last date to apply for the programme is February 28. It has also been learnt that the fellows are expected to conduct their independent research under the mentorship of the Centre and will have access to high-end compute infrastructure and datasets at RBCDSAI. The eligible participants for this fellowship should be under the age of 28 years (as of 31 December 2021), and should be graduate/ post-graduate who has a 4-year bachelor's or a master's degree in areas relevant to RBCDSAI.


Descriptive Statistics for Data-driven Decision Making with Python

#artificialintelligence

“Data is like garbage! You’d better know what you’re going to do with it before you collect it.” ~ Mark TwainThis is not a typical reference book for descriptive statistics. Instead, we take an in-depth look at what methods you would be foolish not to use in data science or machine learning. In this book, we dive into descriptive statistics with Python and an overview of what is crucial to know to obtain the most advantage of what we show you. Descriptive statistics is essential for decision making based on data. Using descriptive statistics will give you a way to make straightforward decisions on your decision making without complex methodology. Descriptive statistics form the fundamental platform for every quantitative data analysis."Diving into Descriptive Statistics with Python" is a book by Pratik Shukla and Roberto Iriondo. Between us, we have worked together for the past year to create this material and prepare you for straightforward, data-driven decision making. Please know that this is an experience-based, opinionated book. We only cover topics that will help you make the most out of using descriptive statistics for data-driven decision making.Book Sample:You can access a sample of this book through this article or this PDF.

La veille de la cybersécurité

#artificialintelligence

To prepare the future workforce to live and thrive in a society where this piece of technology is so fundamentally ingrained, several schools are now offering age and level appropriate training in artificial intelligence. Leading education body CBSE has taken the lead in introducing AI in the school curriculum. They have developed an integrated curriculum, and AI as an elective subject is already being implemented in classes 8-10. Other schools, particularly the ones affiliated with the International Baccalaureate (IB), have also been proactive in giving their students ample exposure to AI. Analytics India Magazine spoke to a few school principals and heads to understand the trend better. Many educational institutions, including Kendriya Vidyalayas, teaching CBSE syllabus, have already introduced AI to their students.
