Episode 2: A Cross Validation Framework
Sign in to report inappropriate content. This is the second episode of my video series on applied machine learning. In this episode, we talk about the need for cross-validation and different types of cross-validation. We also see how one can implement a re-usable cross validation framework. In the end we are left with a cross validation framework that can be applied to almost all kinds of machine learning problem.
Design of Capacity-Approaching Low-Density Parity-Check Codes using Recurrent Neural Networks
Nisioti, Eleni, Thomos, Nikolaos
In particular, we present a method for determining the coefficients of the degree distributions, characterizing the structure of an LDPC code. We refer to our RNN architecture as Neural Density Evolution (NDE) and determine the weights of the RNN that correspond to optimal designs by minimizing a loss function that enforces the properties of asymptotically optimal design, as well as the desired structural characteristics of the code. This renders the LDPC design process highly configurable, as constraints can be added to meet applications' requirements by means of modifying the loss function. In order to train the RNN, we generate data corresponding to the expected channel noise. We analyze the complexity and optimality of NDE theoretically, and compare it with traditional design methods that employ differential evolution. Simulations illustrate that NDE improves upon differential evolution both in terms of asymptotic performance and complexity. Although we focus on asymptotic settings, we evaluate designs found by NDE for finite codeword lengths and observe that performance remains satisfactory across a variety of channels.

If machine learning seems like mysterious hype to you, come learn how it actually works under the covers. Takeaway: I understand the basics of machine learning technology.
China ramps up tech education to become artificial intelligence leader
A bespectacled eight-year-old has become the poster child for China's campaign to dominate the world of high tech. From his home in Shanghai, Vita Zhou hosts training videos for other children on how to code for artificial intelligence. He already has almost 80,000 followers on the Chinese streaming website Bilibili, and some of his videos have gained more than 1.3 million views. Vita has even attracted the attention of Apple CEO Tim Cook, who sent him birthday wishes Monday on Weibo, China's equivalent of Twitter. Isn't it easier to write code once you understand how it works?"

Finland is making its online AI crash course free to the world
Last year, Finland launched a free online crash course in artificial intelligence with the aim of educating its citizens about the new technology. Now, as a Christmas present to the world, the European nation is making the six week program available for anyone to take. Finland is relinquishing the EU's rotating presidency at the end of the year, and decided to translate its course into every EU language as a gift to citizens. But there aren't any geographical restrictions as to who can take the course, so really it's to the world's benefit. The course certainly proved itself in Finland, with more than 1 percent of the Nordic nation's 5.5 million citizens signing up.
Learn BERT - most powerful NLP algorithm by Google
Powerful and disruptive: Learn the concepts behind a new BERT, getting rid of RNNs, CNNs and other heavy deep learning models to implement a more intuitive way to process language that will suit a wide range of NLP purposes, including yours!

Automated Machine Learning: How do teams work together on an AutoML project? - KDnuggets
Each iteration runs within an experiment and stores serialized pipelines from the automated machine learning iterations until they retrieve the pipeline with the best performance on the validation data set. Once the evaluation has been performed, the data scientist, project manager, and business lead meet again to review the forecasting results. It's the project manager and business lead's job to make sense of the outputs and choose practical steps based on those results. The business lead needs to confirm that the best model and pipeline meet the business objective and that the machine learning solution answers the questions with acceptable accuracy to deploy the system to production for use by their internal sales forecasting application. Automated machine learning is based on a breakthrough from the Microsoft Research division.
2020 AI Predictions: Wholistic Adoption, AI-Enabled Business Analysts, Applied AI on Rise - AI Trends
We invited readers to submit their top predictions for the impact of AI on business in 2020. Dawn Fitzgerald is Director of Digital Transformation, Data Center Operations for Schneider Electric. The French multinational corporation is focused on sustainability and efficiency with its software and services offerings to a range of customers, many in the oil and gas, utilities, and manufacturing industries. Wholistic Adoption is the realization that it is the people, process, and tools combination that create the massive benefit of the AI Shangri-La.
