In this thirteenth episode, Tom Stubbs, Co-Founder/CEO of Chronomics starts with introducing epigenetics. He describes the technology and expertise that he's brought together to create the only company in the world advancing the forefront of epigenetic biomarkers. He explains how their A.I. based health biomarker engine will be used to reduce your risk of future illness. Thank you for having me on the show. Pleasure to be here and looking forward to chatting with you. Tom: We are very much focused on measuring health so people can avoid disease. Lee: Measuring health so that people can avoid disease, that sounds a little bit cryptic. I mean, essentially we're focused on providing people with objective measures that capture the broader definition of health. So not merely health being the absence of disease, but actually as defined by the World Health Organization over 70 years ago, health being the complete physical, mental and social wellbeing of a person. And we think that this is super important, because with the rise of aging populations and the growth in chronic conditions globally, such as heart disease and type two diabetes, there's a growing need for healthcare to shift towards prevention. And to enable this shift, we need measures to capture the largest risk factors for these conditions ahead of time so that people can prevent through action. Lee: So I think I was one of the first users of Chronomics. I had contacted yourselves at the end of 2018 and took a whole genome sequence and an epigenetic test. We first were putting the product out 2018, and yes, you were among one of the first users of the product. Pleasure to have had you and still have you as a customer, Lee. Lee: And I remember yourselves very favorably, because I was a little bit skeptical because Tommy Woods had informed me that the business model of quite a few companies in the OMIC space is to give you a large questionnaire, apply AI to it, and I've had it demonstrated now to me that based on a simple questionnaire, AI can derive a lot of information about you on the health front, predictive, way more than the OMICS can in some cases. And these companies are doing this heavy OMICS data acquisition, not so much to give you data at the moment, I mean, information, but in order that may be in 5, 10 years, that vast sum of data that can then do something with. And so, I was skeptical at Chronomics maybe doing that, and I said, please make a special case for me. Give me my results without the questionnaire. Tom: Yeah, I do remember this, Lee. And then I said, hey look, if I'm doing a whole genome sequence, I actually want a copy of it. So send me every letter.

A couple of days ago I started thinking if I had to start learning machine learning and data science all over again where would I start? The funny thing was that the path that I imagined was completely different from that one that I actually did when I was starting. I'm aware that we all learn in different ways. Some prefer videos, others are ok with just books and a lot of people need to pay for a course to feel more pressure. And that's ok, the important thing is to learn and enjoy it.

As Artificial Intelligence has become one of the most significant forces driving innovation and economic development, this societal transformation requires new knowledge and an additional set of skills. Just as knowing a BIM software has become a prerequisite for most architecture jobs, understanding or even knowing how to use AI-related tools would become a desirable asset, if not a requirement in the future. However, with a vast array of information available, how does one begin to venture into this topic? The following is a compilation of online resources, lectures, and courses, that could provide a better understanding of the field and how to incorporate it into the practice of architecture. What does Artificial Intelligence represent, what is the difference between machine learning and deep learning?

The ability to incrementally learn new classes is crucial to the development of real-world artificial intelligence systems. In this paper, we focus on a challenging but practical few-shot class-incremental learning (FSCIL) problem. FSCIL requires CNN models to incrementally learn new classes from very few labelled samples, without forgetting the previously learned ones. To address this problem, we represent the knowledge using a neural gas (NG) network, which can learn and preserve the topology of the feature manifold formed by different classes. On this basis, we propose the TOpology-Preserving knowledge InCrementer (TOPIC) framework. TOPIC mitigates the forgetting of the old classes by stabilizing NG's topology and improves the representation learning for few-shot new classes by growing and adapting NG to new training samples. Comprehensive experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method significantly outperforms other state-of-the-art class-incremental learning methods on CIFAR100, miniImageNet, and CUB200 datasets.

Not so long ago, a method was discovered that successfully overcomes the catastrophic forgetting of neural networks. Although we know about the cases of using this method to preserve skills when adapting pre-trained networks to particular tasks, it has not yet obtained widespread distribution. In this paper, we would like to propose an alternative method of overcoming catastrophic forgetting based on the total absolute signal passing through each connection in the network. This method has a simple implementation and seems to us essentially close to the processes occurring in the brain of animals to preserve previously learned skills during subsequent learning. We hope that the ease of implementation of this method will serve its wide application.

Welcome to the Deep Learning From Ground Up on ARM Processors course. We are going to embark on a very exciting journey together. We are going to learn how to build deep neural networks from scratch on our microcontrollers. We shall begin by learning the basics of deep learning with practical code showing each of the basic building blocks that end up making a giant deep neural network.

Although the book is currently in pre-order status, it is highly anticipated by readers and has long been ranked the first on Amazon's Computer Science book list. The draft of the book has published 20 chapters (including introduction and conclusion). The content starts with the most well known AI "Hello Word problem", the MNIST image classification, then NLP, recurrent neural network, convolutional neural network, and interpretability. This course is not for beginner and the prerequisites are knowledge of Python and PyTorch. They can all be installed directly via PyPI.

Sign Language is used by the deaf community all over world. The work presented here proposes a novel one-dimensional deep capsule network (CapsNet) architecture for continuous Indian Sign Language recognition by means of signals obtained from a custom designed wearable IMU system. The performance of the proposed CapsNet architecture is assessed by altering dynamic routing between capsule layers. The proposed CapsNet yields improved accuracy values of 94% for 3 routings and 92.50% for 5 routings in comparison with the convolutional neural network (CNN) that yields an accuracy of 87.99%. Improved learning of the proposed architecture is also validated by spatial activations depicting excited units at the predictive layer. Finally, a novel non-cooperative pick-and-predict competition is designed between CapsNet and CNN. Higher value of Nash equilibrium for CapsNet as compared to CNN indicates the suitability of the proposed approach.
