Machine Learning Tutorial for Beginners
Let us start with an easy example, say you are teaching a kid to differentiate dogs from cats. How would you do it? You may show him/her a dog and say "here is a dog" and when you encounter a cat you would point it out as a cat. When you show the kid enough dogs and cats, he may learn to differentiate between them. If he is trained well, he may be able to recognise different breeds of dogs which he hasn't even seen. Similarly, in Supervised Learning, we have two sets of variables.

SuperSuit: Simple Microwrappers for Reinforcement Learning Environments
Terry, Justin K., Black, Benjamin, Hari, Ananth
In reinforcement learning, wrappers are universally used to transform the information that passes between a model and an environment. Despite their ubiquity, no library exists with reasonable implementations of all popular preprocessing methods. This leads to unnecessary bugs, code inefficiencies, and wasted developer time. Accordingly we introduce SuperSuit, a Python library that includes all popular wrappers, and wrappers that can easily apply lambda functions to the observations/actions/reward.
AutoSimulate: (Quickly) Learning Synthetic Data Generation
Behl, Harkirat Singh, Baydin, Atฤฑlฤฑm Gรผneล, Gal, Ran, Torr, Philip H. S., Vineet, Vibhav
Simulation is increasingly being used for generating large labelled datasets in many machine learning problems. Recent methods have focused on adjusting simulator parameters with the goal of maximising accuracy on a validation task, usually relying on REINFORCE-like gradient estimators. However these approaches are very expensive as they treat the entire data generation, model training, and validation pipeline as a black-box and require multiple costly objective evaluations at each iteration. We propose an efficient alternative for optimal synthetic data generation, based on a novel differentiable approximation of the objective. This allows us to optimize the simulator, which may be non-differentiable, requiring only one objective evaluation at each iteration with a little overhead. We demonstrate on a state-of-the-art photorealistic renderer that the proposed method finds the optimal data distribution faster (up to $50\times$), with significantly reduced training data generation (up to $30\times$) and better accuracy ($+8.7\%$) on real-world test datasets than previous methods.
Geometric Foundations of Data Reduction
The purpose of this paper is to write a complete survey of the (spectral) manifold learning methods and nonlinear dimensionality reduction (NLDR) in data reduction. The first two NLDR methods in history were respectively published in Science in 2000 in which they solve the similar reduction problem of high-dimensional data endowed with the intrinsic nonlinear structure. The intrinsic nonlinear structure is always interpreted as a concept in manifolds from geometry and topology in theoretical mathematics by computer scientists and theoretical physicists. In 2001, the concept of Manifold Learning first appears as an NLDR method called Laplacian Eigenmaps purposed by Belkin and Niyogi. In the typical manifold learning setup, the data set, also called the observation set, is distributed on or near a low dimensional manifold $M$ embedded in $\mathbb{R}^D$, which yields that each observation has a $D$-dimensional representation. The goal of (spectral) manifold learning is to reduce these observations as a compact lower-dimensional representation based on the geometric information. The reduction procedure is called the (spectral) manifold learning method. In this paper, we derive each (spectral) manifold learning method with the matrix and operator representation, and we then discuss the convergence behavior of each method in a geometric uniform language. Hence, we name the survey Geometric Foundations of Data Reduction.
Adaptive Gradient Methods for Constrained Convex Optimization
Ene, Alina, Nguyen, Huy L., Vladu, Adrian
Gradient methods are a fundamental building block of modern machine learning. Their scalability and small memory footprint makes them exceptionally well suite d to the massive volumes of data used for present-day learning tasks. While such optimization methods perform very well in practi ce, one of their major limitations consists of their inability to converge faster by taking advantage of specific features of the input data. For example, the training data used for classification tasks may exhibit a few very informative features, while all the others have only marginal relevance. Having access t o this information a priori would enable practitioners to appropriately tune first-order optimizat ion methods, thus allowing them to train much faster. Lacking this knowledge, one may attempt to reach a si milar performance by very carefully tuning hyper-parameters, which are all specific to the learning mod el and input data. This limitation has motivated the development of adaptive m ethods, which in absence of prior knowledge concerning the importance of various features in the da ta, adapt their learning rates based on the information they acquired in previous iterations. The most notable example is AdaGrad [ 13 ], which adaptively modifies the learning rate corresponding to each coordinate in the vector of weights. Following its success, a host of new adaptive methods appeared, inc luding Adam [ 17 ], AmsGrad [ 27 ], and Shampoo [ 14 ], which attained optimal rates for generic online learning tasks.
My biggest mistake while learning Machine Learning
Instead, I recommend finding one specific aspect of AI that you are eager to learn. Then sit down and make a plan for how you are going to get there. It will probably require some assistance and learning materials, and luckily there is a ton of that online. Some of it you have to pay for, but a lot of it is completely free! My real progress first appeared when I started a course on machine learning on Udemy.
NITI Aayog launches AI modules for school students
In an attempt to make school students familiar with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its practical applications in modern life, NITI Aayog's Atal Innovation Mission (AIM), in collaboration with NASSCOM, has launched Artificial Intelligence step-up modules for school students across the country. The latest modules follow the AI Base modules which were launched by the NITI Aayog in February this year. Students with the help of the Learn it Yourself advanced modules will be able to expand their knowledge base of AI and its applications, according to a press note released by the NITI Aayog. The modules which have been designed to impart a deeper understanding of Artificial Intelligence to the students are graphic-based that will help students from varied rural and urban backgrounds understand the modules effectively. Even those students who could not complete the basic modules released in February will be able to understand the Step-up modules as basic definitions and concepts have also been elaborately explained in the modules.
How I'd start learning machine learning again (3-years in)
I'm underground, back where it all started. Sitting at the hidden cafe where I first met Mike. I'd been studying in my bedroom for the past 9-months and decided to step out of the cave. Half of me was concerned about having to pay $19 for breakfast (unless it's Christmas, driving Uber on the weekends isn't very lucrative), the other half about whether any of this study I'd been doing online meant anything. In 2017, I left Apple, tried to build a web startup, failed, discovered machine learning, fell in love, signed up to a deep learning course with zero coding experience, emailed the support team asking what the refund policy was, didn't get a refund, spent the next 3-months handing in the assignments four to six days late, somehow passed, decided to keep going and created my own AI Masters Degree.
