Where to start in Data Science and AI?

#artificialintelligence

During these last 18 months, I had many people asking me how to start in Data and AI. With more time in their hands and the opportunity to learn new skills. So I have decided to help anyone interested in learning about Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Data Science in general. These are some of the best resources I found helpful in my journey on these topics. Learning a new skill, concept, or subject is not easy and requires some discipline to make sure there is progress.


Cynthia Breazeal named senior associate dean for open learning

#artificialintelligence

Cynthia Breazeal has joined MIT Open Learning as senior associate dean, beginning in the Fall 2021 semester. The MIT professor of media arts and sciences and head of the Personal Robots group at the MIT Media Lab is also director of MIT RAISE, a cross-MIT initiative on artificial intelligence education. At MIT Open Learning, Breazeal will oversee MIT xPRO, Bootcamps, and Horizon, three units focused on different aspects of developing and delivering courses, programs, training, and learning resources to professionals. With experience as an entrepreneur and founder of a high-tech startup, Breazeal has a nuanced understanding of the startup spirit of MIT Open Learning's revenue-generating business units, and of the importance of connecting MIT's deep knowledge base with the just-in-time needs of professionals in the workforce. "I appreciate the potential educational and training impact of exciting new innovations in the business world. Each of these programs addresses a specific market opportunity and has a particular style of engaging with MIT's educational materials," says Breazeal.


Blog: Top Math Resources for Data Scientists

#artificialintelligence

At some point, every aspiring data scientist has to get familiar with mathematics for machine learning. To be blunt, the more serious you are about data science, the more math you'll need to learn for machine learning. If you have a strong math background, this is likely to little issue. In my case, I've had to relearn much of the mathematics (note โ€“ I'm not done yet!) that I took at a university as my professional life had allowed my math skills to atrophy. Based on my experience teaching our bootcamp there is also a group of aspiring data scientists that fall into a category where their formal math training needs to be augmented.


Making AI Accessible to Everyone

#artificialintelligence

The Covid-19 global pandemic has obviously accelerated our dependency on technology. From businesses, to online classes, to working from home, and even online shopping, we heavily depend on technology. Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a vital role in making these online activities way more reliable, easy, and safe. AI is especially significant for organizations because it offers massively tailored services, which customers are increasingly seeking. No longer considered futuristic, AI is here to stay.


Computational simulation and the search for a quantitative description of simple reinforcement schedules

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

We aim to discuss schedules of reinforcement in its theoretical and practical terms pointing to practical limitations on implementing those schedules while discussing the advantages of computational simulation. In this paper, we present a R script named Beak, built to simulate rates of behavior interacting with schedules of reinforcement. Using Beak, we've simulated data that allows an assessment of different reinforcement feedback functions (RFF). This was made with unparalleled precision, since simulations provide huge samples of data and, more importantly, simulated behavior isn't changed by the reinforcement it produces. Therefore, we can vary it systematically. We've compared different RFF for RI schedules, using as criteria: meaning, precision, parsimony and generality. Our results indicate that the best feedback function for the RI schedule was published by Baum (1981). We also propose that the model used by Killeen (1975) is a viable feedback function for the RDRL schedule. We argue that Beak paves the way for greater understanding of schedules of reinforcement, addressing still open questions about quantitative features of schedules. Also, they could guide future experiments that use schedules as theoretical and methodological tools.


Natural Language Processing in-and-for Design Research

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

We review the scholarly contributions that utilise Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods to support the design process. Using a heuristic approach, we collected 223 articles published in 32 journals and within the period 1991-present. We present state-of-the-art NLP in-and-for design research by reviewing these articles according to the type of natural language text sources: internal reports, design concepts, discourse transcripts, technical publications, consumer opinions, and others. Upon summarizing and identifying the gaps in these contributions, we utilise an existing design innovation framework to identify the applications that are currently being supported by NLP. We then propose a few methodological and theoretical directions for future NLP in-and-for design research.

Udacity and Bertelsmann Technology Scholarship

#artificialintelligence

Bertelsmann's media, services and educational offerings make it a leader in many areas of the digital world. Accordingly, the company wants to empower as many people as possible to be successful in the digital world. Over a three-year period Bertelsmann is funding as many as 50,000 tech scholarships for students to learn with Udacity. The third round of the program, starting in October 2021, consists of a two-stage scholarship that's similar to the first rounds of the program. The scholarship is open to any student, 18 years of age or older, interested in Azure Cloud Architecture, Business Analytics or Machine Learning.


Artificial Intelligence Projects with Python

#artificialintelligence

In this course, we aim to specialize in artificial intelligence by working on 14 Machine Learning Projects and Deep Learning Projects at various levels (easy - medium - hard). Before starting the course, you should have basic Python knowledge. Our aim in this course is to turn real-life problems that seem difficult to do into projects and then solve them using latest versions of artificial intelligence algorithms (machine learning algortihms and deep learning algorithms) and Python(3.8). This course was prepared in August 2021. We will carry out some of our projects using machine learning and some using deep learning algorithms.
