I remember the first time I ever tried to learn to code. "It prints'Hello World'," he replied. But I was pretty freaked out by all that so-called boilerplate I didn't understand, and so I set out to learn what each one of those keywords meant. That turned out to be complicated and boring, and pretty much put the kibosh on my young coder aspirations. It's immensely easier to learn software development today than it was when I was in high school, thanks to sites like codecademy.com, the ease of setting up basic development environments, and a general sway towards teaching high-level, interpreted languages like Python and Javascript.

California Science and Technology University (CSTU) is a job-oriented university with a curriculum focusing on the cutting-edge technologies. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science are the core of our training. Our instructors come from Silicon Valley top companies, like Google, Apple, LinkedIn, etc. Students can attend the eight-month training program, or two-year degree programs (MSCSE in AI, or MBA in data science). If you are unemployed, the government training fund can cover the training program tuition; if you are employed, the employer may reimburse the training tuition. CSTU also provides various scholarships to outstanding students.

Open-ended survey data constitute an important basis in research as well as for making business decisions. Collecting and manually analysing free-text survey data is generally more costly than collecting and analysing survey data consisting of answers to multiple-choice questions. Yet free-text data allow for new content to be expressed beyond predefined categories and are a very valuable source of new insights into people's opinions. At the same time, surveys always make ontological assumptions about the nature of the entities that are researched, and this has vital ethical consequences. Human interpretations and opinions can only be properly ascertained in their richness using textual data sources; if these sources are analyzed appropriately, the essential linguistic nature of humans and social entities is safeguarded. Natural Language Processing (NLP) offers possibilities for meeting this ethical business challenge by automating the analysis of natural language and thus allowing for insightful investigations of human judgements. We present a computational pipeline for analysing large amounts of responses to open-ended questions in surveys and extract keywords that appropriately represent people's opinions. This pipeline addresses the need to perform such tasks outside the scope of both commercial software and bespoke analysis, exceeds the performance to state-of-the-art systems, and performs this task in a transparent way that allows for scrutinising and exposing potential biases in the analysis. Following the principle of Open Data Science, our code is open-source and generalizable to other datasets. I CONTEXT AND MOTIVATION Leaders, managers, and decision-makers critically rely on information and feedback. Decisionmakers first need information about the current set of circumstances which provide the context of the decision, and then need feedback on how the decision could play out. To get such information in a format that allows them to appropriately understand the entity they are seeking to comprehend is of critical importance to come to a high-quality decision. Often only qualitative insight into the opinions, interpretations and assumptions of large numbers of people will allow us to understand a set of circumstances properly and are therefore required to make high-quality decisions and consequently outcomes.

Machine learning algorithms have been used widely in various applications and areas. To fit a machine learning model into different problems, its hyper-parameters must be tuned. Selecting the best hyper-parameter configuration for machine learning models has a direct impact on the model's performance. It often requires deep knowledge of machine learning algorithms and appropriate hyper-parameter optimization techniques. Although several automatic optimization techniques exist, they have different strengths and drawbacks when applied to different types of problems. In this paper, optimizing the hyper-parameters of common machine learning models is studied. We introduce several state-of-the-art optimization techniques and discuss how to apply them to machine learning algorithms. Many available libraries and frameworks developed for hyper-parameter optimization problems are provided, and some open challenges of hyper-parameter optimization research are also discussed in this paper. Moreover, experiments are conducted on benchmark datasets to compare the performance of different optimization methods and provide practical examples of hyper-parameter optimization. This survey paper will help industrial users, data analysts, and researchers to better develop machine learning models by identifying the proper hyper-parameter configurations effectively.

CARLSBAD, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 6, 2020 / OPTEC International, Inc (OTC PINK:OPTI) The Company CEO announced the OPTEC solution to the Safely Re-Open American Schools and Business's plan using a suite of OPTEC advanced technology products. The company solution includes the introduction of the new "Safe-Scan" stand-alone infrared temperature scanning technology for use in complying with CDC standards for assisting the reopening of Schools, Churches, Gym's businesses, health and senior care facilities and government buildings during the current pandemic crisis. The free-standing thermal temperature scanning models feature advanced engineered technology and are FCC certified scans for elevated temperature and mask compliance in less than one second. The scanner recognizes individuals passing by the device with or without masks and/or with an elevated body temperature at which time will emit an audio alert and red flashing light, while regular temperature scans receive an" Access Allowed" green light audio alert. The device recognizes the no mask alert and the "Please Wear a Mask" audio alert is voiced.

In 2015, Ashok Goel and his colleagues at the Georgia Institute of Technology informed a class of students that a new teaching assistant named Jill Watson would be joining their course on artificial intelligence. They left out an important detail, however: Jill Watson is, herself, an artificial intelligence agent. It wasn't until late in the term that students started to suspect that the answers to their online queries were not coming from a flesh-and-blood TA. Since then, Jill Watson has participated in 17 classes held both online and in person, at both undergraduate and graduate levels, in subjects ranging from biology to engineering and computer science. Meanwhile, Georgia Tech continues to explore the potential of AI in higher education. The academic landscape was already being transformed by economics and technology before the massive disruption of COVID-19.

These days, artificial intelligence systems make our steering wheels vibrate when we drive unsafely, suggest how to invest our money, and recommend workplace hiring decisions. In these situations, the AI has been intentionally designed to alter our behavior in beneficial ways: We slow the car, take the investment advice, and hire people we might not have otherwise considered. Each of these AI systems also keeps humans in the decision-making loop. That's because, while AIs are much better than humans at some tasks (e.g., seeing 360 degrees around a self-driving car), they are often less adept at handling unusual circumstances (e.g., erratic drivers). In addition, giving too much authority to AI systems can unintentionally reduce human motivation.
