AWS DeepRacer is a fun and easy way for developers with no prior experience to get started with machine learning (ML). At the end of the 2019 season, the AWS DeepRacer League engaged the Amazon ML Solutions Lab to develop a new sports analytics feature for the AWS DeepRacer Championship Cup at re:Invent 2019. The purpose for these real-time analytics was to provide context and more in-depth experience with top competitors' strategies and tactics. This helped viewers tangibly interpret how specific model strategy translated to on-track performance, which further demystified ML development and demonstrated its real-world application. This enhancement enabled fans to monitor the performance and driving style of competitors from around the world.

The government and the Office for Students have announced that 2,500 places on artificial intelligence (AI) and data science conversion courses are now open to applicants. Some 1,000 scholarships will be open to students from "under-represented backgrounds", according to a statement from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). Oliver Dowden, DCMS secretary, said: "It is vital we increase diversity across our tech sector and give everyone with the aptitude and talent the opportunity to build a successful career. "This will help make sure artificial intelligence developed in the UK reflects the needs and make-up of society as a whole, which will also help mitigate the risk of biased technologies being developed." Funding has been allocated to 18 English universities, which, according to a DCMS statement, will deliver courses to a further 10 universities. In the venture, the government is working with the Office for Students, an independent regulator that reports to the Department for Education and was established in 2017. Together, they have created a fund of up to £24m to support the scholarships. These are open to non-STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) graduates, as well as those with degrees in STEM subjects. A year ago, in June 2019, the department announced a similar tranche of £13.5m funding for up to 2,500 AI and data science conversion courses for professionals who have degrees in other disciplines, as well as 1,000 scholarships. A DCMS spokesperson confirmed: "People can now apply for places on the courses.

Even though there are many great AI software tools on the market, you still need to assemble a strong team when it comes to putting together projects. The technology is complex and evolving. There are also the challenges of change management within an organization. So then what are the roles for an AI project? Well, first of all, there needs to be an executive sponsor.

Well here is the good news for Computer Science, Data Science, and Machine Learning Enthusiasts because Springer has released more than 70 books in Computer Science, Data Science, and Machine Learning domain and that too for free. Personally, I found the book's collection very impressive. Who can read these books? Right from the mathematics needed to kickstart your Machine Learning journey, Machine Learning basics, useful libraries, hands-on code, real-world examples, Programming in R and python, Deep Learning basics, robotics, and programming languages, etc. all are covered in these books.

We propose a novel reinforcement learning algorithm,QD-RL, that incorporates the strengths of off-policy RL algorithms into Quality Diversity (QD) approaches. Quality-Diversity methods contribute structural biases by decoupling the search for diversity from the search for high return, resulting in efficient management of the exploration-exploitation trade-off. However, these approaches generally suffer from sample inefficiency as they call upon evolutionary techniques. QD-RL removes this limitation by relying on off-policy RL algorithms. More precisely, we train a population of off-policy deep RL agents to simultaneously maximize diversity inside the population and the return of the agents. QD-RL selects agents from the diversity-return Pareto Front, resulting in stable and efficient population updates. Our experiments on the Ant-Maze environment show that QD-RL can solve challenging exploration and control problems with deceptive rewards while being more than 15 times more sample efficient than its evolutionary counterparts.

To learn intrinsic low-dimensional structures from high-dimensional data that most discriminate between classes, we propose the principle of Maximal Coding Rate Reduction ($\text{MCR}^2$), an information-theoretic measure that maximizes the coding rate difference between the whole dataset and the sum of each individual class. We clarify its relationships with most existing frameworks such as cross-entropy, information bottleneck, information gain, contractive and contrastive learning, and provide theoretical guarantees for learning diverse and discriminative features. The coding rate can be accurately computed from finite samples of degenerate subspace-like distributions and can learn intrinsic representations in supervised, self-supervised, and unsupervised settings in a unified manner. Empirically, the representations learned using this principle alone are significantly more robust to label corruptions in classification than those using cross-entropy, and can lead to state-of-the-art results in clustering mixed data from self-learned invariant features.

Recently there are a considerable amount of work devoted to the study of the algorithmic stability and generalization for stochastic gradient descent (SGD). However, the existing stability analysis requires to impose restrictive assumptions on the boundedness of gradients, strong smoothness and convexity of loss functions. In this paper, we provide a fine-grained analysis of stability and generalization for SGD by substantially relaxing these assumptions. Firstly, we establish stability and generalization for SGD by removing the existing bounded gradient assumptions. The key idea is the introduction of a new stability measure called on-average model stability, for which we develop novel bounds controlled by the risks of SGD iterates. This yields generalization bounds depending on the behavior of the best model, and leads to the first-ever-known fast bounds in the low-noise setting using stability approach. Secondly, the smoothness assumption is relaxed by considering loss functions with Holder continuous (sub)gradients for which we show that optimal bounds are still achieved by balancing computation and stability. To our best knowledge, this gives the first-ever-known stability and generalization bounds for SGD with even non-differentiable loss functions. Finally, we study learning problems with (strongly) convex objectives but non-convex loss functions.

Expert problem-solving is driven by powerful languages for thinking about problems and their solutions. Acquiring expertise means learning these languages -- systems of concepts, alongside the skills to use them. We present DreamCoder, a system that learns to solve problems by writing programs. It builds expertise by creating programming languages for expressing domain concepts, together with neural networks to guide the search for programs within these languages. A ``wake-sleep'' learning algorithm alternately extends the language with new symbolic abstractions and trains the neural network on imagined and replayed problems. DreamCoder solves both classic inductive programming tasks and creative tasks such as drawing pictures and building scenes. It rediscovers the basics of modern functional programming, vector algebra and classical physics, including Newton's and Coulomb's laws. Concepts are built compositionally from those learned earlier, yielding multi-layered symbolic representations that are interpretable and transferrable to new tasks, while still growing scalably and flexibly with experience.
