Why 'Deep Learning' Is Hard to Do in Remote or Hybrid Schooling

#artificialintelligence

Teacher Sherisa Nailor helps Parker Drawbaugh, left, and Jacob Knouse in their Small-Animal Science class at Big Spring High School in Newville, Pa. It's a dilemma schools have struggled with for years: Should teachers spend the precious time they have helping students dig deeply into a specific issue, problem, or question? Or should they teach more broadly about a wide variety of topics? The argument for the former approach--called "deep learning"--is that it improves student engagement and prepares kids to be better problem solvers in a world with increasingly complex challenges around health, economics, social justice, and climate change. A broader approach, the counter argument goes, introduces students to a greater mix of topics, giving them a better sense of all the issues and problems society is facing. Taking that "deep learning" approach is now more difficult than ever, as students are stuck at home learning remotely either full time or part time, or in socially distanced classrooms where collaboration, project-based learning, and lab experiments are hard, if not impossible, to do.

#artificialintelligence

How can the computer mimic a human brain? Well, the answer turns out pretty simple. Our brain is made of membranes of neurons which are also called the brain cells. Each neuron uses electrical signals to communicate with other neurons. However, the electrical signals enable neurons to help the brain of Engineering Colleges grads and do even the most complex tasks.



The Robot Artist That's Redefining The Meaning of Creativity

#artificialintelligence

"People don't judge an artwork on its own merit," said Aidan Meller, the director of a prestigious U.K. gallery called, well, the Aidan Meller Gallery. "They always do it through the lens of the artist. When you look at a Picasso or you look at Tracey Emin, you have a very different response based on the personalities that created [the work]. It's not the kind of conversation you might expect to have with an art expert and dealer whose previous big splash of publicity came, in 2014, when he helped bring to light seven large cardboard boxes of drawings found in a loft, which turned out to be highly significant Pre-Raphaelite School sketches. But somewhere, it seems, Meller's trajectory changed course. "[A few years ago] I was playing with my son, and he was building a robot out of Lego," he told Digital Trends. "It was an epiphany moment.


Deep learning helps robots grasp and move objects with ease

#artificialintelligence

In the past year, lockdowns and other COVID-19 safety measures have made online shopping more popular than ever, but the skyrocketing demand is leaving many retailers struggling to fulfill orders while ensuring the safety of their warehouse employees. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have created new artificial intelligence software that gives robots the speed and skill to grasp and smoothly move objects, making it feasible for them to soon assist humans in warehouse environments. The technology is described in a paper published online today (Wednesday, Nov. 18) in the journal Science Robotics. Automating warehouse tasks can be challenging because many actions that come naturally to humans -- like deciding where and how to pick up different types of objects and then coordinating the shoulder, arm and wrist movements needed to move each object from one location to another -- are actually quite difficult for robots. Robotic motion also tends to be jerky, which can increase the risk of damaging both the products and the robots.


Invention that makes renewable energy from rotting veg wins James Dyson prize

The Guardian

A novel material made from rotting fruit and vegetables that absorbs stray UV light from the sun and converts it into renewable energy has landed its designer the first sustainability gong in this year's James Dyson awards. From a record 1,800 entries โ€“ despite the challenges of Covid-19 โ€“ the award was given to 27-year-old Carvey Ehren Maigue, a student at Mapรบa University in the Philippines, for his Aureus system which uses the natural scientific principles behind the northern lights. The other top prize in the international competition has been handed to the inventor of a low-cost biomedical device that can be used at home to detect breast cancer, harnessing artificial intelligence to analyse urine. Aureus is made from crop waste and can be attached in panels to windows and walls. It allows high energy particles derived from fruit and vegetables to be absorbed by luminescent particles, which re-emit them as visible light.


Machine Learning Problem Framing

If you intend to take the certification, this will be a good starting point. If you don't, then this will help you develop the basic know-how needed to succeed in a rapidly evolving Machine Learning ecosystem. This is not a certification study guide. The objective of this article is to provide a simple explanation of complex ideas and give a broad view of the subject matter. The outline mimics the GCP Professional Machine Learning Engineer certification guide.


Advancing artificial intelligence research

#artificialintelligence

The broad applicability of artificial intelligence in today's society necessitates the need to develop and deploy technologies that can build trust in emerging areas, counter asymmetric threats, and adapt to the ever-changing needs of complex environments. As part of a new collaboration to advance and support AI research, the MIT Stephen A. Schwarzman College of Computing and the Defense Science and Technology Agency in Singapore are awarding funding to 13 projects led by researchers within the college that target one or more of the following themes: trustworthy AI, enhancing human cognition in complex environments, and AI for everyone. The 13 research projects selected are highlighted below. Emerging machine learning technology has the potential to significantly help with and even fully automate many tasks that have confidently been entrusted only to humans so far. Leveraging recent advances in realistic graphics rendering, data modeling, and inference, Madry's team is building a radically new toolbox to fuel streamlined development and deployment of trustworthy machine learning solutions.


Cluster Analysis and Unsupervised Machine Learning in Python

#artificialintelligence

Created by Lazy Programmer Inc. Cluster analysis is a staple of unsupervised machine learning and data science. It is very useful for data mining and big data because it automatically finds patterns in the data, without the need for labels, unlike supervised machine learning. In a real-world environment, you can imagine that a robot or an artificial intelligence won't always have access to the optimal answer, or maybe there isn't an optimal correct answer. You'd want that robot to be able to explore the world on its own, and learn things just by looking for patterns. Do you ever wonder how we get the data that we use in our supervised machine learning algorithms?
