Jobs that we may say goodbye to in the post-pandemic era

#artificialintelligence

With the pandemic making work and learn-from-home the new norm and Artificial Intelligence (AI) creeping into our lives, there are several traditional jobs that are likely to fade away a few years from now. With digital calendars and assistants meticulously managing schedules and AI churning out products with precision, several workers may soon find machines replacing their function within an organisation. They may not attend all-important business meetings but the peon is omnipresent in the office, from conference rooms and cubicles to in the corridors. Bringing fresh tea, sending parcels in the courier, peons don several hats. They often know exactly what's happening in different corners of the office and enjoy a good rapport with people across levels.

#artificialintelligence

Learn the core concepts of Machine Learning and its algorithms and how to implement them in Python 3 New Rating: 4.4 out of 54.4 (215 ratings) 32,564 students What you'll learn Description'Machine Learning is all about how a machine with an artificial intelligence learns like a human being' Welcome to the course on Machine Learning and Implementing it using Python 3. As the title says, this course recommends to have a basic knowledge in Python 3 to grasp the implementation part easily but it is not compulsory. This course has strong content on the core concepts of ML such as it's features, the steps involved in building a ML Model - Data Preprocessing, Finetuning the Model, Overfitting, Underfitting, Bias, Variance, Confusion Matrix and performance measures of a ML Model. We'll understand the importance of many preprocessing techniques such as Binarization, MinMaxScaler, Standard Scaler We can implement many ML Algorithms in Python using scikit-learn library in a few lines. Can't we? Yet, that won't help us to understand the algorithms. Hence, in this course, we'll first look into understanding the mathematics and concepts behind the algorithms and then, we'll implement the same in Python.


Technology Will Change The Future Or Not

#artificialintelligence

Every day, people round the world arise with new innovative ways to make the future more brighter than previous. So, here are the list of top 5 trending technologies that will surely change the future in every aspects of human life. Artificial Intelligence [AI] that look to the future: Bionic eyes are a backbone of phantasy for many years, however currently real-world analysis is launch to realize with far-sighted storytellers. A raft of technologies is adding up to promote that reinstate sight to folks with completely different verticals of vision impairment. In the year of January 2021, Israeli surgeons embedded the world's first artificial cornea into a bilaterally blind, 78-year-old man.


AutoLL: Automatic Linear Layout of Graphs based on Deep Neural Network

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Linear layouts are a graph visualization method that can be used to capture an entry pattern in an adjacency matrix of a given graph. By reordering the node indices of the original adjacency matrix, linear layouts provide knowledge of latent graph structures. Conventional linear layout methods commonly aim to find an optimal reordering solution based on predefined features of a given matrix and loss function. However, prior knowledge of the appropriate features to use or structural patterns in a given adjacency matrix is not always available. In such a case, performing the reordering based on data-driven feature extraction without assuming a specific structure in an adjacency matrix is preferable. Recently, a neural-network-based matrix reordering method called DeepTMR has been proposed to perform this function. However, it is limited to a two-mode reordering (i.e., the rows and columns are reordered separately) and it cannot be applied in the one-mode setting (i.e., the same node order is used for reordering both rows and columns), owing to the characteristics of its model architecture. In this study, we extend DeepTMR and propose a new one-mode linear layout method referred to as AutoLL. We developed two types of neural network models, AutoLL-D and AutoLL-U, for reordering directed and undirected networks, respectively. To perform one-mode reordering, these AutoLL models have specific encoder architectures, which extract node features from an observed adjacency matrix. We conducted both qualitative and quantitative evaluations of the proposed approach, and the experimental results demonstrate its effectiveness.

Chirag Gupta, a Ph.D. candidate in the Machine Learning Department, has received a Bloomberg Data Science Ph.D. Fellowship. The fellowship will fund Gupta's dissertation research for the 2021-2022 academic year, provide a stipend of $35,000 and offer $5,000 to cover travel to professional conferences. Gupta can renew the fellowship for up to three years. He will also have a Bloomberg mentor and complete a 14-week paid summer internship at Bloomberg next summer. Gupta, in his fourth year of Ph.D. studies and advised by Aaditya Ramdas, is working on uncertainty quantification for classification and regression problems.


5 applications of AI in education - Express Computer

#artificialintelligence

From our households to the health sector, the advancements of AI are everywhere and the education sector is no exception. But, in what ways has it developed things in the higher education industry? In order to ensure that students all over the world can apply to them, universities in most countries accept digital admission applications and paper applications are rare concepts these days. Several Indian startups these days are using artificial intelligence technologies to provide students with a better learning experience from the comfort of their homes. These AI and machine learning powered technologies were very helpful during the COVID-19 pandemic when more than 1.5 billion students were forced to stay home. These technologies provide a means of personalized study plans and convenient learning.


Magna Carta Scientiae

#artificialintelligence

Science is a catalyst for human progress. But a publishing monopoly and funding monopsony have inhibited research. We intend to improve incentives in science by developing smart research contracts. These will collectively reward scientific activities, including proposals, papers, replications, datasets, analyses, annotations, editorials, and more. Peer-to-peer review networks will be designed to help evaluate proposals and publications. Long term, these smart contracts help accelerate research by minimizing science friction, ensuring science quality, and maximizing science variance. Email bits@atoms.org or follow @atoms_org to help us build a flourishing research economy. Papers are the fundamental asset of the research economy: they serve as proof of work that valuable research has been completed. Funding agencies and research institutions evaluate scientists based on their publications. Principal investigators (PIs) attract prospective students and collaborators via papers. Investors and companies use scientific literature to conduct due diligence on research ranging from basic discoveries to clinical studies. Thus, the evaluation and dissemination of papers are vital to this research economy. Publishers are the sole arbiters of papers today. They assign a value -- denominated in "prestige" -- by accepting a paper into the appropriate journal based on selectivity and domain. To evaluate papers, journals typically outsource it to two or three PIs, who often outsource it further to their students. Reviewers are unpaid for this peer review work, as it is an expected part of their scientific duties. Peer review is believed to be necessary because of the industrialization of science. Research papers and proposals have become too specialized and too numerous, making it difficult to assess merit prima facie. As a result, scientific incentives have become distorted in two major ways: prestige capture and reviewer misalignment. Over half of all research papers in 2013 were published by five companies, who have used their centuries of brand equity to build an economic moat. This results in prestige capture, which akin to regulatory capture, causes public and scientific interest to be directed towards the regulators of prestige.
