Artificial Intelligence for Smarter Cybersecurity
Organizations continue to embrace the Internet of Things (IoT), the cloud, and mobile technology. This has influenced considerable changes in the threat landscape and created more vulnerability points. Cybercriminals are leveraging these new vulnerability points to develop and launch sophisticated, high-volume, multi-dimensional attacks. Such attacks mean that data is at risk, and organizations must analyze potentially malicious files. Using artificial intelligence software, organizations can process large volumes of threat data and adequately prevent and respond to breaches and hacks.
[R] Undergrad Thesis on Manifold Learning
I finished undergrad this past spring and just got a chance to tidy up my undergraduate thesis. It's about manifold learning, which is not discussed too often here, so I thought some people might enjoy it. It's a math thesis, but it's designed to be broadly accessible (e.g. the first few chapters could serve as an introduction to kernel learning). It might also help some of the undergrads here looking for thesis topics -- there seem to be posts about this every few weeks or so. I've very open to feedback, constructive criticism, and of course let me know if you catch any typos!
Why Children Need To Learn About Artificial Intelligence
The age of artificial intelligence (AI) has arrived, changing the world around us in exciting and unpredictable ways. We are getting accustomed to AI and our children will be highly dependent on it. AI helps bring about new careers, discover new drugs, augment our senses, and influence both our interaction with the world and our understanding of it. One day, it may help us eradicate war, disease, and poverty. According to Max Tegmark, the President of the Future of Life Institute, AI systems could potentially trigger an intelligence explosion, leaving humans far behind.
A level results: Why algorithms aren't making the grade
When the UK government decided to cancel school exams due to the coronavirus pandemic, they gave examination regulators Ofqual a challenge: allocate grades to students anyway, and make sure the grades given out this year are equivalent in standard to previous years. Ofqual's solution was to create an algorithm โ a computer program designed to predict what grades the students would have received if they had taken exams. Unfortunately, when the computer-generated grades were issued, 40 per cent of A-Level students got lower grades than their teachers had predicted. Promised university places were withdrawn. Lawyers offered to take legal action against Ofqual.
Species Distribution Models with GIS & Machine Learning in R
Machine Learning Models for Habitat Suitability - Implement and interpret common ML techniques to build habitat suitability maps for the birds of Peninsular Malaysia. It is a practical, hands-on course, i.e. we will spend some time dealing with some of the theoretical concepts . However, majority of the course will focus on implementing different techniques on real data and interpret the results. After each video you will learn a new concept or technique which you may apply to your own projects.

Successful AI Examples in Higher Education That Can Inspire Our Future - The Tech Edvocate
So much has been made of Artificial Intelligence (AI) potential to replace humans that its introduction to higher education may be met by resistance from faculty and staff who fear for their jobs. It's important to remember that, at its core, AI is just a computer program that does what it is programmed to do. Even if that is learning, it is machine learning. It is about finding correlations in data too voluminous for humans to grasp and using the findings to predict what will happen. Imagine, for a moment, the potential lying in the data emanating from Learning Management Systems like Pedagogue.
IBM Fine-Grained Visual Recognition Powers AR Tech Support
A broken computer, appliance or car used to mean a visit to a technician or mechanic, but the recent proliferation of DIY videos has more people performing such repair jobs themselves. Now, a pair of IBM researchers have taken instructional video to the next level, with a new fine-grained visual recognition approach and augmented reality (AR) system that can look at the actual piece of hardware being working on and integrate real-time, step-by-step tech support and guidance. The researchers say the proposed method can increase the rate of first-time fixes and reduce hardware disruption recovery time by automatically detecting the state of an object and presenting the right set of information in the right context. AR basically overlays media and graphics on what we see in the real world. Major technological advances and the increased availability of AR software development kits (SDKs) such as ARKit and ARCore over the last decade have lowered the entry barrier for AR developers. In recent years, machine learning has informed the emergence of intelligent systems that further enhance the AR experience.
