An Introduction to Machine Learning Libraries for C
I love working with C, even after I discovered the Python programming language for machine learning. C was the first programming language I ever learned and I'm delighted to use that in the machine learning space! I wrote about building machine learning models in my previous article and the community loved the idea. I received an overwhelming response and one query stood out for me (from multiple folks) – are there any C libraries for machine learning? Languages like Python and R have a plethora of packages and libraries that cater to different machine learning tasks.
In the AI era, universities need to strengthen students' creativity
Advances in artificial intelligence in the early 2010s, particularly in deep learning, triggered a new wave of panic and fear about technological unemployment. Further intensifying those fears were a host of sensational articles about the magical capabilities of AI algorithms and ambiguous statements by company executives creating the impression that human-level AI is just around the corner. But the past few years have only highlighted the limits of current AI technologies. At the turn of the decade, as the world locked down to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, we got to see whether the promises of artificial intelligence and robots replacing humans would materialize. But while AI isn't ready to replace humans, there's no denying that it will change the employment landscape, including areas that were previously considered to be off-limits for technology and automation. AI will not eliminate humans, but it will redefine the economy, creating many new jobs and making some of the old jobs obsolete or less dependent on human intelligence.
Udemy Machine Learning: Decent course, excellent community
This post is part of "AI education", a series of posts that review and explore educational content on data science and machine learning. When it comes to software development education, I'm a classical type: I prefer books over video tutorials, and I like to manually write every single line of code instead of copy-pasting from sample files and Stack Exchange. My early experience with online artificial intelligence and machine learning courses had mostly left me disappointed. So, when Udemy gave me access to their online course "Machine Learning A-Z: Hands-On Python & R In Data Science," I was a bit skeptical. But after going through the course, I must say that the instructors, Kirill Eremenko and Hadelin de Ponteves, have done a great job to make machine learning, a fairly complicated topic, accessible to a wide audience.
VigiFlood: evaluating the impact of a change of perspective on flood vigilance
Emergency managers receive communication training about the importance of being 'first, right and credible', and taking into account the psychology of their audience and their particular reasoning under stress and risk. But we believe that citizens should be similarly trained about how to deal with risk communication. In particular, such messages necessarily carry a part of uncertainty since most natural risks are difficult to accurately forecast ahead of time. Yet, citizens should keep trusting the emergency communicators even after they made forecasting errors in the past. We have designed a serious game called Vigiflood, based on a real case study of flash floods hitting the South West of France in October 2018. In this game, the user changes perspective by taking the role of an emergency communicator, having to set the level of vigilance to alert the population, based on uncertain clues. Our hypothesis is that this change of perspective can improve the player's awareness and response to future flood vigilance announcements. We evaluated this game through an online survey where people were asked to answer a questionnaire about flood risk awareness and behavioural intentions before and after playing the game, in order to assess its impact.
Large Margin Mechanism and Pseudo Query Set on Cross-Domain Few-Shot Learning
Yeh, Jia-Fong, Lee, Hsin-Ying, Tsai, Bing-Chen, Chen, Yi-Rong, Huang, Ping-Chia, Hsu, Winston H.
In recent years, few-shot learning problems have received a lot of attention. While methods in most previous works were trained and tested on datasets in one single domain, cross-domain few-shot learning is a brand-new branch of few-shot learning problems, where models handle datasets in different domains between training and testing phases. In this paper, to solve the problem that the model is pre-trained (meta-trained) on a single dataset while fine-tuned on datasets in four different domains, including common objects, satellite images, and medical images, we propose a novel large margin fine-tuning method (LMM-PQS), which generates pseudo query images from support images and fine-tunes the feature extraction modules with a large margin mechanism inspired by methods in face recognition. According to the experiment results, LMM-PQS surpasses the baseline models by a significant margin and demonstrates that our approach is robust and can easily adapt pre-trained models to new domains with few data.

Machine learning helps scientists distinguish ancient human, dog poop
Researchers have developed a new machine learning algorithm that can determine whether ancient excrement was deposited by a human or a dog. Bones and artifacts are great, but ancient poop can offer archaeologists tremendous insights, too -- insights into dietary patterns, parasite evolution and more. The only problem is that it can be hard to identify the owner of really old feces. Specifically, scientists have trouble differentiating between ancient human and dog feces. Dogs have been hanging out around humans for thousands of years.
This virtual robotics camp is launching just in time for summer
Summer camp plans not coming together as you envisioned? I have no idea what camp will look like for my 8- and 6-year old, and am leery of more Zoom time. I found an interesting possibility though, at least for my 8-year old: virtual robotics camp. UBTECH Education, a division of UBTECH, the robotics company famous for its Walker robot and kids' robot kits, teamed up with the STEM Learning Ecosystems Community of Practice to create Camp:ASPIRE for students ages 8 through 16. When campers sign up for a week, they get a UKIT robotics building kit to keep that includes servos, connectors, a main control box, and 300-500 pieces.

Machine Learning(ML) – Basic Terminologies in Context
Basic Terminology in Context – Machine learning should be treated as a culture in an organisation where business teams, managers and executives should have some basic knowledge of ML and its terminology. There are many online courses available which are designed for students, employees with little or no experience, managers, professionals and executives to give them a better understanding. This post is part 2 of Machine Learning (ML) – Basics you need to know. Today's machines are learning and performing tasks; that was only be done by humans in the past like making a better judgment, decisions, playing games, etc. This is possible because machines can now analyse and read through patterns and remember learnings for future use.
