Full stack web dev, machine learning and AI integrations
This extensive course leads you through a complete range of software skills and languages, skilling you up to be an incredibly on-demand developer. The combination of being able to create full-stack websites AND machine learning and AI models is very rare - something referred to as a unAIcorn. This is exactly what you will be able to do by the end of this course. Whether you're looking to get into a high paying job in tech, aspiring to build a portfolio so that you can land remote contracts and work from the beach, or you're looking to grow your own tech start-up, this course will be essential to set you up with the skills and knowledge to develop you into a unAIcorn. This course will fill all the gaps in between.
The Book to Start You on Machine Learning - KDnuggets
A question a lot of ML practitioners get asked a frequently is: "What can I do to start being able to actually build Machine Learning projects and solutions?" There is so much information out there -- both good and bad -- that it can be hard to know where to begin. Also, people come from very different backgrounds, so the starting point can vary significantly. For example, for me, I entered the ML world by watching theoretical videos from Computer Science channels about neural networks, and as I got more and more interested I started reading articles, news, and blogs about the topic. However, by doing this I only developed a vague understanding of the most superficial part of Machine Learning, and I was nowhere near being able to tackle a project by myself.
Learning to See Analogies: A Connectionist Exploration
This dissertation explores the integration of learning and analogy-making through the development of a computer program, called Analogator, that learns to make analogies by example. By "seeing" many different analogy problems, along with possible solutions, Analogator gradually develops an ability to make new analogies. That is, it learns to make analogies by analogy. This approach stands in contrast to most existing research on analogy-making, in which typically the a priori existence of analogical mechanisms within a model is assumed. The present research extends standard connectionist methodologies by developing a specialized associative training procedure for a recurrent network architecture. The network is trained to divide input scenes (or situations) into appropriate figure and ground components. Seeing one scene in terms of a particular figure and ground provides the context for seeing another in an analogous fashion. After training, the model is able to make new analogies between novel situations. Analogator has much in common with lower-level perceptual models of categorization and recognition; it thus serves as a unifying framework encompassing both high-level analogical learning and low-level perception. This approach is compared and contrasted with other computational models of analogy-making. The model's training and generalization performance is examined, and limitations are discussed.
A survey on Machine Learning-based Performance Improvement of Wireless Networks: PHY, MAC and Network layer
Kulin, Merima, Kazaz, Tarik, Moerman, Ingrid, de Poorter, Eli
This paper provides a systematic and comprehensive survey that reviews the latest research efforts focused on machine learning (ML) based performance improvement of wireless networks, while considering all layers of the protocol stack (PHY, MAC and network). First, the related work and paper contributions are discussed, followed by providing the necessary background on data-driven approaches and machine learning for non-machine learning experts to understand all discussed techniques. Then, a comprehensive review is presented on works employing ML-based approaches to optimize the wireless communication parameters settings to achieve improved network quality-of-service (QoS) and quality-of-experience (QoE). We first categorize these works into: radio analysis, MAC analysis and network prediction approaches, followed by subcategories within each. Finally, open challenges and broader perspectives are discussed.
BioSNet: A Fast-Learning and High-Robustness Unsupervised Biomimetic Spiking Neural Network
Meng, Mingyuan, Yang, Xingyu, Xiao, Shanlin, Yu, Zhiyi
Spiking Neural Network (SNN), as a brain-inspired machine learning algorithm, is closer to the computing mechanism of human brain and more suitable to reveal the essence of intelligence compared with Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), attracting more and more attention in recent years. In addition, the information processed by SNN is in the form of discrete spikes, which makes SNN have low power consumption characteristics. In this paper, we propose an efficient and strong unsupervised SNN named BioSNet with high biological plausibility to handle image classification tasks. In BioSNet, we propose a new biomimetic spiking neuron model named MRON inspired by 'recognition memory' in the human brain, design an efficient and robust network architecture corresponding to biological characteristics of the human brain as well, and extend the traditional voting mechanism to the Vote-for-All (VFA) decoding layer so as to reduce information loss during decoding. Simulation results show that BioSNet not only achieves state-of-the-art unsupervised classification accuracy on MNIST/EMNIST data sets, but also exhibits superior learning efficiency and high robustness. Specifically, the BioSNet trained with only dozens of samples per class can achieve a favorable classification accuracy over 80% and randomly deleting even 95% of synapses or neurons in the BioSNet only leads to slight performance degradation.
Teaching Software Engineering for AI-Enabled Systems
Kästner, Christian, Kang, Eunsuk
Software engineers have significant expertise to offer when building intelligent systems, drawing on decades of experience and methods for building systems that are scalable, responsive and robust, even when built on unreliable components. Systems with artificial-intelligence or machine-learning (ML) components raise new challenges and require careful engineering. We designed a new course to teach software-engineering skills to students with a background in ML. We specifically go beyond traditional ML courses that teach modeling techniques under artificial conditions and focus, in lecture and assignments, on realism with large and changing datasets, robust and evolvable infrastructure, and purposeful requirements engineering that considers ethics and fairness as well. We describe the course and our infrastructure and share experience and all material from teaching the course for the first time.

Free Online Course: Fundamentals of Machine Learning from Complexity Explorer Class Central
Machine Learning is a fast growing, rapidly advancing field that touches nearly everyone's lives. There has recently been an explosion of successful machine learning applications - in everything from voice recognition to text analysis to deeper insights for researchers. While common and frequently talked about, most people have only a vague concept of how machine learning actually works. In this tutorial, Dr. Artemy Kolchinsky and Dr. Brendan Tracey outline exactly what it is that makes machine learning so special in an accessible way. The principles of training and generalization in machine learning are explained with ample metaphors and visual intuitions, an extended analysis of machine learning in games provides a thorough example, and a closer look at the deep neural nets that are the core of successful machine learning.
