Artificial Intelligence Projects with Python
In this course, we aim to specialize in artificial intelligence by doing Machine Learning and Deep Learning Projects at various levels. Before starting the course, you must 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 and Python(3.8). This course was prepared in July 2021. We will carry out some of our projects using machine learning and some using deep learning algorithms.
Enhancing Model Robustness and Fairness with Causality: A Regularization Approach
Wang, Zhao, Shu, Kai, Culotta, Aron
Recent work has raised concerns on the risk of spurious correlations and unintended biases in statistical machine learning models that threaten model robustness and fairness. In this paper, we propose a simple and intuitive regularization approach to integrate causal knowledge during model training and build a robust and fair model by emphasizing causal features and de-emphasizing spurious features. Specifically, we first manually identify causal and spurious features with principles inspired from the counterfactual framework of causal inference. Then, we propose a regularization approach to penalize causal and spurious features separately. By adjusting the strength of the penalty for each type of feature, we build a predictive model that relies more on causal features and less on non-causal features. We conduct experiments to evaluate model robustness and fairness on three datasets with multiple metrics. Empirical results show that the new models built with causal awareness significantly improve model robustness with respect to counterfactual texts and model fairness with respect to sensitive attributes.
Artificial intelligence for Sustainable Energy: A Contextual Topic Modeling and Content Analysis
Saheb, Tahereh, Dehghani, Mohammad
Parallel to the rising debates over sustainable energy and artificial intelligence solutions, the world is currently discussing the ethics of artificial intelligence and its possible negative effects on society and the environment. In these arguments, sustainable AI is proposed, which aims at advancing the pathway toward sustainability, such as sustainable energy. In this paper, we offered a novel contextual topic modeling combining LDA, BERT, and Clustering. We then combined these computational analyses with content analysis of related scientific publications to identify the main scholarly topics, sub-themes, and cross-topic themes within scientific research on sustainable AI in energy. Our research identified eight dominant topics including sustainable buildings, AI-based DSSs for urban water management, climate artificial intelligence, Agriculture 4, the convergence of AI with IoT, AI-based evaluation of renewable technologies, smart campus and engineering education, and AI-based optimization. We then recommended 14 potential future research strands based on the observed theoretical gaps. Theoretically, this analysis contributes to the existing literature on sustainable AI and sustainable energy, and practically, it intends to act as a general guide for energy engineers and scientists, AI scientists, and social scientists to widen their knowledge of sustainability in AI and energy convergence research.
Studyum - The future of decentralized learning
Upon registration with Studyum, students upload their desired learning objectives and learning styles, and take certain tests to determine their ideal courses and teachers. This information, which is encrypted to an individual's wallet, is used to generate AI-driven'Smart Chat' that continuously learns about the factors that contribute most to their ability to learn. The more classes you take on Studyum, the more the platform learns about you, and the more personalized and effective your education will become. As you start doing better or worse in certain subjects, the platform adjusts the educational content being delivered, to maximize learning in real-time. Studyum pulls AI and blockchain together to provide custom solutions for different types of educational institutions or companies.
Back in the classroom, teachers are finding pandemic tech has changed their jobs forever
Watson is among millions of teachers across the nation who are in their second year of teaching either in-person, online or both -- depending on the state, city and district they live in. Like many other professions, teachers' jobs have become increasingly complex due to the pandemic. This year, many students are back in the classroom, but teachers have to constantly adapt if there is virus exposure. There aren't specific guidelines on how best to teach students using the many technologies that are available. Teachers are also struggling to keep students engaged while learning new tech tools that are required to make online classes successful.

In Part 2 - Minimizing Costs, we will build a more advanced AI that will minimize the costs in energy consumption of a data center by more than 50%! Just as Google did last year thanks to DeepMind.
Understanding Data Cleaning - Great Learning Blog
Data is information collected through observations. It is often a set of qualitative and quantitative variables or a compilation of both. Data often entered in a system can have multiple layers of issues while retrieving, which in most cases will cause you to clean the data before you can make sense of the same and process the same to come up with actionable insights. Data cleaning is a very crucial first step in any machine learning project. It is an inevitable step in the process of model building and data analysis, but no one really can or tells you how to go about the same.
