Artificial Intelligence (AI) In The Classroom
AI is finally here and most of us are already actively using it in our day-to-day life. To prepare our future generation to harness these technologies, educators need to understand how they can use AI, use it to facilitate learning and solve real-world problems. The course is aimed at all educators who would like to use AI, irrespective of the topic which they teach. The course assumes no prior knowledge of AI and will start by introducing the basic concepts. It will then illustrate a number of fun exercises which can be used with the students, to help them understand these concepts.
From E-commerce to Education: Conversational AI is One Size Fits All
May be'Talking tom' was just not a toy but also an epitome of Conversational AI that is reigning the present and will continue to do so in future as well. Besides, the pandemic happens to be a significant inducer of artificial intelligence to such an extent that AI is now a habit and a lifestyle. In the current era of technological modernization, enterprises are augmented with digital transformation. This stands true especially for Fortune 500 companies that are leveraging AI to best of their advantages to enhance and refurbish their business dimensions. Conversational AI is one of the most advanced forms of AI bots that are heavily employed by e-commerce platforms.
Stop (and Start) Hiring Data Scientists - KDnuggets
Disclaimer: All opinions are my own; they do not reflect my employer's. All data used in this article come from Kaggle Data Science Survey. All observations are from my experience working in data science teams in big and small companies. Large companies are losing about 20% of their data scientists; many of them probably went to startups, while some might have left the sector. Comparing to an average turnover rate of 13% in technology, which is the industry that has the highest attrition, it's clear that the data science teams at big companies are facing a serious retention problem.
Amazon India introduces machine learning summer school
Bengaluru: Amazon India on Sunday announced the launch of ML Summer School which will provide an integrated learning experience for students to gain applied Machine Learning (ML) skills. A batch of students from select tech campuses in India will be presented with the opportunity to engage through virtual classroom tutorials followed by interactive Q&A sessions with scientists at Amazon. For students with prior exposure to certain areas of ML, the programme can act as a refresher course, while additionally providing a practical perspective on ML applications in industry, the company said in a statement. "With the pace of advancements in ML, we are proactively helping students to learn about the latest trends in the field of ML and apply them to solve real-world problems," said Rajeev Rastogi, VP, India Machine Learning at Amazon. "Our aim is to prepare students for science roles -- this will help to reduce the gap between the growing demand for ML roles across companies and the talent pool with applied ML skills," he added.
Litigating Artificial Intelligence: When Does AI Violate Our Legal Rights?
Litigating Artificial Intelligence: When Does AI Violate Our Legal Rights? Read full article May 27, 2021, 3:20 PM ยท3 min read From the minds of Canada's leading law and technology experts comes a playbook for understanding the multi-faceted intersection of AI and the law TORONTO, May 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- We are living in an Artificial Intelligence (AI) boom. Self-driving cars, personal voice assistants, and facial recognition technology are just a few of the AI-enabled technologies permeating into everyday life. But what happens when AI causes harm or violates our rights? If your self-driving car gets into an accident while on autopilot, are you responsible? Emond Publishing, Canada's leading independent legal publisher, today announced the release of Litigating Artificial Intelligence, a book examining AI-informed legal determinations, AI-based lawsuits, and AI-enabled litigation tools. Anchored by the expertise of general editors Jill R. Presser, Jesse Beatson, and Gerald Chan, this title offers practical insights regarding AI's decision-making capabilities, position in evidence law and product-based lawsuits, role in automating legal work, and use by the courts, tribunals, and government agencies. For example, can government agencies use AI-powered facial recognition software to identify BLM protestors and Capitol rioters, or does this violate privacy rights? Who is liable, users, developers, or AI? What laws are in place to prevent AI-related crimes, and how do litigators prosecute the responsible parties?
MSc Applied Artificial Intelligence and User Experience
Learn to design and interrogate AI systems with a clear understanding of human behaviour. With the dependence on digital automation and remote working greater than ever, there is a huge demand for professionals with skills in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and User Experience (UX). We are the first UK university to offer a Master's degree bringing together AI, UX Research and Applied Psychology. As well as gaining a thorough understanding of Data and AI techniques, you'll explore theoretical concepts with practical applications. Using data and AI to acquire deeper insights into human behaviour and psychology, you'll also focus on the ethical responsibilities of developing AI applications.
Bias: Friend or Foe? User Acceptance of Gender Stereotypes in Automated Career Recommendations
Wang, Clarice, Wang, Kathryn, Bian, Andrew, Islam, Rashidul, Keya, Kamrun Naher, Foulde, James, Pan, Shimei
Currently, there is a surge of interest in fair Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) research which aims to mitigate discriminatory bias in AI algorithms, e.g. along lines of gender, age, and race. While most research in this domain focuses on developing fair AI algorithms, in this work, we show that a fair AI algorithm on its own may be insufficient to achieve its intended results in the real world. Using career recommendation as a case study, we build a fair AI career recommender by employing gender debiasing machine learning techniques. Our offline evaluation showed that the debiased recommender makes fairer career recommendations without sacrificing its accuracy. Nevertheless, an online user study of more than 200 college students revealed that participants on average prefer the original biased system over the debiased system. Specifically, we found that perceived gender disparity is a determining factor for the acceptance of a recommendation. In other words, our results demonstrate we cannot fully address the gender bias issue in AI recommendations without addressing the gender bias in humans.
Active Learning for Network Traffic Classification: A Technical Survey
Shahraki, Amin, Abbasi, Mahmoud, Taherkordi, Amir, Jurcut, Anca Delia
Network Traffic Classification (NTC) has become an important component in a wide variety of network management operations, e.g., Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning and security purposes. Machine Learning (ML) algorithms as a common approach for NTC methods can achieve reasonable accuracy and handle encrypted traffic. However, ML-based NTC techniques suffer from the shortage of labeled traffic data which is the case in many real-world applications. This study investigates the applicability of an active form of ML, called Active Learning (AL), which reduces the need for a high number of labeled examples by actively choosing the instances that should be labeled. The study first provides an overview of NTC and its fundamental challenges along with surveying the literature in the field of using ML techniques in NTC. Then, it introduces the concepts of AL, discusses it in the context of NTC, and review the literature in this field. Further, challenges and open issues in the use of AL for NTC are discussed. Additionally, as a technical survey, some experiments are conducted to show the broad applicability of AL in NTC. The simulation results show that AL can achieve high accuracy with a small amount of data.
