Bongo Learn provides real-time feedback to improve learning outcomes with Amazon Transcribe
Real-time feedback helps drive learning. This is especially important for designing presentations, learning new languages, and strengthening other essential skills that are critical to succeed in today's workplace. However, many students and lifelong learners lack access to effective face-to-face instruction to hone these skills. In addition, with the rapid adoption of remote learning, educators are seeking more effective ways to engage their students and provide feedback and guidance in online learning environments. Bongo is filling that gap using video-based engagement and personalized feedback.
Transfer Learning with Amazon SageMaker and FSx for Lustre
Training machine learning models is often time consuming and requires setting up and maintaining infrastructure. Although the fast-paced evolution of cloud has taken away a lot of the on-premise infrastructure pain-points, even then the heavy-lifting and efficient usage of machines with GPU instances can be challenging when training compute intensive models with large amount of training data. In this article we discuss an end-to-end computer vision (CV) training approach by exploring how machine learning (ML) practitioners can fine-tune their deep learning models by leveraging Amazon SageMaker, that provides a fully managed service for all the stages of ML lifecycle -- data labelling and preparation, model building, training and tuning, deployment in cloud and edge, and MLOps. Although this is a CV specific example, it is applicable for other large-scale deep learning use-cases as well. We explore the business use-case of a fashion clothing marketplace who would like to enrich their metadata from the images that their sellers upload to the platform, thus improving inventory organization and personalization for their buyers.
Data Science Versus Computer Science: What's the Difference?
Data science and computer science often go hand-in-hand, but what makes them different? What do they have in common? After holding several different roles in data science departments at various companies, I have discovered some general qualities common to the data science process, along with how computer science is incorporated into that process as well. Anyone who currently works in or who is interested in entering either field should note the differences between these two disciplines, as well as when one requires concepts and principles from the other. Usually, a data scientist will benefit from learning computer science first and then specializing in machine learning algorithms.

Cutting-Edge AI: Deep Reinforcement Learning in Python
This is technically Deep Learning in Python part 11 of my deep learning series, and my 3rd reinforcement learning course. Deep Reinforcement Learning is actually the combination of 2 topics: Reinforcement Learning and Deep Learning (Neural Networks). While both of these have been around for quite some time, it's only been recently that Deep Learning has really taken off, and along with it, Reinforcement Learning. The maturation of deep learning has propelled advances in reinforcement learning, which has been around since the 1980s, although some aspects of it, such as the Bellman equation, have been for much longer. Recently, these advances have allowed us to showcase just how powerful reinforcement learning can be.
Artificial intelligence tutoring outperforms expert instructors in neurosurgical training
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented both challenges and opportunities for medical training. Remote learning technology has become increasingly important in several fields. A new study finds that in a remote environment, an artificial intelligence (AI) tutoring system can outperform expert human instructors. The Neurosurgical Simulation and Artificial Intelligence Learning Center at The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital) recruited seventy medical students to perform virtual brain tumor removals on a neurosurgical simulator. Students were randomly assigned to receive instruction and feedback by either an AI tutor or a remote expert instructor, with a third control group receiving no instruction.
Let's talk robotics with Dr Sarika Kewalramani -- EXAPTEC
Joining me today is Dr Sarika Kewalramani. Sarika is an Early Childhood/Primary STEM Lecturer at Monash University, Melbourne. Sarika's research expertise resides in conceptualising kindergarten and primary teachers' understanding of the nexus between creative STEM-based play by integrating technologies (robotics) in their teaching practices and educational programs in ways that promote children's learning and development. Sarika also designs customised professional learning courses to help early childhood educators implement STEM-based play in their programs. A new play-based robot therapy program is also available for Victorian kindergartens to access through the DET 2022 School Readiness Funding Menu.
