On the evening of 9 August 1956, a couple of hundred people squeezed into a student union lounge for a concert recital at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, about 130 miles outside Chicago. Student performances didn't usually attract so many people, but this was an exceptional case, the debut of the Illiac Suite: String Quartet No 4, that a member of the chemistry faculty, Lejaren Hiller Jr, had devised with the school's one and only computer, the Illiac I. Decades before today's artificial intelligence pop stars, Auto-Tune and deepfake compositions was Hiller's piece, described by the New York Times in his 1994 obituary as "the first substantial piece of music composed on a computer" – and indeed by a computer. One of the four musicians who performed the piece that night was George Andrix, a violist and composition student at the university. Now 89, Andrix remembers an auditorium packed with people "who showed up to see what this monster of a computer could do." The Illiac I, short for Illinois Automatic Computer, was the first supercomputer to be housed by an academic institution.

Now let's see the syllabus of the course-

In the above story, we have used a Fitbit dataset. Based on the EDA, it was found that steps taken and calories are somewhat linearly correlated and together they may be indicative of a lower risk for all-cause mortality. More interestingly, among our data there is one dataset which has not been used yet which is a weight and BMI log. These data have a distinct nature since they are not necessarily machine generated, thereafter they serve the purpose of being'labels'. In simple words, users are collecting data regarding their activity using their Fitbit, and once in a while, they log some body information such as weight, fat and BMI. This creates an optimal scenario for a supervised learning problem, where, for example, we could use the Fitbit activity data to predict the BMI of a user.

Humans and animals explore their environment and acquire useful skills even in the absence of clear goals, exhibiting intrinsic motivation. The study of intrinsic motivation in artificial agents is concerned with the following question: what is a good general-purpose objective for an agent? We study this question in dynamic partially-observed environments, and argue that a compact and general learning objective is to minimize the entropy of the agent's state visitation estimated using a latent state-space model. This objective induces an agent to both gather information about its environment, corresponding to reducing uncertainty, and to gain control over its environment, corresponding to reducing the unpredictability of future world states. We instantiate this approach as a deep reinforcement learning agent equipped with a deep variational Bayes filter. We find that our agent learns to discover, represent, and exercise control of dynamic objects in a variety of partially-observed environments sensed with visual observations without extrinsic reward.

Online learning algorithms have become a ubiquitous tool in the machine learning toolbox and are frequently used in small, resource-constraint environments. Among the most successful online learning methods are Decision Tree (DT) ensembles. DT ensembles provide excellent performance while adapting to changes in the data, but they are not resource efficient. Incremental tree learners keep adding new nodes to the tree but never remove old ones increasing the memory consumption over time. Gradient-based tree learning, on the other hand, requires the computation of gradients over the entire tree which is costly for even moderately sized trees. In this paper, we propose a novel memory-efficient online classification ensemble called shrub ensembles for resource-constraint systems. Our algorithm trains small to medium-sized decision trees on small windows and uses stochastic proximal gradient descent to learn the ensemble weights of these `shrubs'. We provide a theoretical analysis of our algorithm and include an extensive discussion on the behavior of our approach in the online setting. In a series of 2~959 experiments on 12 different datasets, we compare our method against 8 state-of-the-art methods. Our Shrub Ensembles retain an excellent performance even when only little memory is available. We show that SE offers a better accuracy-memory trade-off in 7 of 12 cases, while having a statistically significant better performance than most other methods. Our implementation is available under https://github.com/sbuschjaeger/se-online .

Safe exploration is critical for using reinforcement learning (RL) in risk-sensitive environments. Recent work learns risk measures which measure the probability of violating constraints, which can then be used to enable safety. However, learning such risk measures requires significant interaction with the environment, resulting in excessive constraint violations during learning. Furthermore, these measures are not easily transferable to new environments. We cast safe exploration as an offline meta-RL problem, where the objective is to leverage examples of safe and unsafe behavior across a range of environments to quickly adapt learned risk measures to a new environment with previously unseen dynamics. We then propose MEta-learning for Safe Adaptation (MESA), an approach for meta-learning a risk measure for safe RL. Simulation experiments across 5 continuous control domains suggest that MESA can leverage offline data from a range of different environments to reduce constraint violations in unseen environments by up to a factor of 2 while maintaining task performance.

However, up until the COVID-19 pandemic caused a seismic shift in the education sector, few educational institutions had fully developed digital learning models in place and adoption of digital models was ad-hoc or only partially integrated alongside traditional teaching modes [1]. In the wake of the disruptive impact of the pandemic, the education sector and more importantly educators have had to move rapidly to take up digital solutions to continue delivering learning. At the most rudimentary level, this has meant moving to online teaching through platforms such as Zoom, Google, Teams and Interactive Whiteboards and delivering pre-recorded educational materials via Learning Management Systems (e.g., Echo). Digital learning is now simply part of the education landscape both in the traditional education sector as well as within the context of corporate and workplace learning. A key challenge future teachers face when delivering educational content via digital learning is to be able to assess what the learner knows and understands, the depths of that knowledge and understanding and any gaps in that learning. Assessment also occurs in the context of the cohort and relevant band or level of learning. The Teachers Guide to Assessment produced by the Australian Capital Territory Government [2] identified that teachers and learning designers were particularly challenged by the assessment process, and that new technologies have the potential to transform existing digital teaching and learning practices through refined information gathering and the ability to enhance the nature of learner feedback. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is part of the next generation of digital learning, enabling educators to create learning content, stream content to suit individual learner needs and access and in turn respond to data based on learner performance and feedback [3]. AI has the capacity to provide significant benefits to teachers to deliver nuanced and personalised experiences to learners.
