Amazon Wants to Make You an ML Practitioner-- For Free
Amazon has long been striving to fix the issue of excess demand (vs supply) of individuals who have proficiency across the fields both Machine Learning and Software Engineering. To date, they have developed sloths of internal resources to get employees up to speed on the essentials. This is typically referred to as OJT, for "on the job training." OJT only goes so far -- the size of your workforce. Aside from hired workers, companies depend on the education system to routinely supply capable talent to the workforce. This system has performed sufficiently for hundreds of years.

Adama Diallo on Computer Vision and Diversity in AI
As a child, Jasjeet Thind led the other kids at his daycare to engage in shenanigans. He still exercises his leadership skills, but instead he uses them to organize Zillow's army of engineers as they aim to automate everything about real estate. Thind became fascinated with data as a college student at Cornell University in the 1990s, and his career exploded along with the deep learning revolution. After early jobs writing code, he transitioned into management at Microsoft and then Yahoo, where he oversaw the company's pioneering recommendation programs. Jasjeet shared his memories of the industry's early days, how he is building an all-in-one pipeline for home sales, and why new engineers need to balance academic achievement with practical experience.
Compositional Generalization via Neural-Symbolic Stack Machines
Chen, Xinyun, Liang, Chen, Yu, Adams Wei, Song, Dawn, Zhou, Denny
Despite achieving tremendous success, existing deep learning models have exposed limitations in compositional generalization, the capability to learn compositional rules and apply them to unseen cases in a systematic manner. To tackle this issue, we propose the Neural-Symbolic Stack Machine (NeSS). It contains a neural network to generate traces, which are then executed by a symbolic stack machine enhanced with sequence manipulation operations. NeSS combines the expressive power of neural sequence models with the recursion supported by the symbolic stack machine. Without training supervision on execution traces, NeSS achieves 100% generalization performance in three domains: the SCAN benchmark of language-driven navigation tasks, the compositional machine translation benchmark, and context-free grammar parsing tasks.
Peer-inspired Student Performance Prediction in Interactive Online Question Pools with Graph Neural Network
Li, Haotian, Wei, Huan, Wang, Yong, Song, Yangqiu, Qu, Huamin
Student performance prediction is critical to online education. It can benefit many downstream tasks on online learning platforms, such as estimating dropout rates, facilitating strategic intervention, and enabling adaptive online learning. Interactive online question pools provide students with interesting interactive questions to practice their knowledge in online education. However, little research has been done on student performance prediction in interactive online question pools. Existing work on student performance prediction targets at online learning platforms with predefined course curriculum and accurate knowledge labels like MOOC platforms, but they are not able to fully model knowledge evolution of students in interactive online question pools. In this paper, we propose a novel approach using Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to achieve better student performance prediction in interactive online question pools. Specifically, we model the relationship between students and questions using student interactions to construct the student-interaction-question network and further present a new GNN model, called R^2GCN, which intrinsically works for the heterogeneous networks, to achieve generalizable student performance prediction in interactive online question pools. We evaluate the effectiveness of our approach on a real-world dataset consisting of 104,113 mouse trajectories generated in the problem-solving process of over 4000 students on 1631 questions. The experiment results show that our approach can achieve a much higher accuracy of student performance prediction than both traditional machine learning approaches and GNN models.
Technovation Awards Nearly $30,000 USD in Cash and Prizes to Finalists in its Global Artificial Intelligence and Mobile App Tech Competitions
Technovation, a global technology education nonprofit, announced that two teams of girls and two family teams - representing Kazakhstan, Kuwait, India and Ireland - were named winners at its annual Technovation World Summit held virtually August 13-14. The two-day event brought together more than 1,000 members and supporters of the Technovation community from around the world. The Awards Ceremony, held during World Summit, is a culmination of the annual Technovation Girls and Technovation Families programs in which nearly 2,000 teams of girls (ages 10-18) and families (with children ages 8-16) are challenged to develop a mobile application or AI prototype to solve an issue they've identified in their community. This year, teams across 60 countries overcame incredible odds stemming from COVID-19 to participate with the support of more than 3,500 mentors and chapter ambassadors. All finalists will receive a portion of the nearly $30,000 being awarded.
Google, Harvard, and EdX Team Up to Offer TinyML Training - InformationWeek
Online learning platform EdX; Google's open-source machine learning platform, TensorFlow; and HarvardX have put together a certification program to train tech professionals to work with tiny machine learning (TinyML). The program is meant to support this specialized segment of development that can include edge computing with smart devices, wildlife tracking, and other sensors. The program comprises a series of courses that can be completed at home. The idea is to scale machine learning to function in small form, edge devices that use far less power than desktop computers and have limited storage and processing capacity, says Anant Agarwal, CEO of EdX, which was founded by MIT and Harvard. That can include devices that operate on batteries, such as remote sensors, microphones, and cameras set up in the wilderness.
What Happens When AI is Used to Set Grades?
How would you feel if an algorithm determined where your child went to college? This year Covid-19 locked down millions of high school seniors and governments around the world canceled year-end graduation exams, forcing examining boards everywhere to consider other ways of setting the final grades that would largely determine the future of the class of 2020. One of these Boards, the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO), opted for using artificial intelligence (AI) to help set overall scores for high-school graduates based on students' past work and other historic data. The experiment was not a success, and thousands of unhappy students and parents have since launched a furious protest campaign. So, what went wrong and what does the experience tell us about the challenges that come with AI-enabled solutions?
Amazon's Machine Learning University To Make Its Online Courses Available To The Public
In a recent development, Amazon announced that it will make online courses by its Machine Learning University available to the public. The classes were previously only available to Amazon employees. The company believes that machine learning has the potential to transform businesses in all industries, but there's a major limitation: demand for individuals with ML expertise far outweighs supply. The Machine Learning University (MLU) was founded with an aim to meet this demand in 2016. It helped ML practitioners sharpen their skills and keep them abreast with the latest developments in the field.
