Several guests shared interesting insights on transportation innovations, artificial intelligence, financial systems, earth technologies, future technology, wearable devices, Big Data, front end design, content creation, the fashion industry and the music business.

Valuing human capital not only serves to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills to respond to systematic shifts, it also empowers them to take part in creating a more, equal and sustainable world. Education is and will remain critical for promoting inclusive economic growth and providing a future of opportunity for all. It is in line with this, that Coven Works' has partnered with The Deutsche Gesekkschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) to successfully train 100 youths from underserved communities in Nigeria on Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Coven Works', the leading Data Science and Artificial Intelligence education organization in Nigeria, schooled and mentored these 100 participants for a period of twelve weeks and secured placements for each trainee in a three months internship, where they will work in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence related job functions. While speaking at the Project Demonstration day of the Beneficiaries, Coven Works' Country Director, Mr. Dunsin Fatuase said that "Coven Works through Coven Labs will continue to focus on upskilling youths in underserved communities, by providing cutting edge knowledge in data science and Artificial Intelligence for Africans, and other working professionals to the point where we can say that Africa has a refined workforce fully ready for the future of work."

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.

Semi-supervised ordinal regression (S$^2$OR) problems are ubiquitous in real-world applications, where only a few ordered instances are labeled and massive instances remain unlabeled. Recent researches have shown that directly optimizing concordance index or AUC can impose a better ranking on the data than optimizing the traditional error rate in ordinal regression (OR) problems. In this paper, we propose an unbiased objective function for S$^2$OR AUC optimization based on ordinal binary decomposition approach. Besides, to handle the large-scale kernelized learning problems, we propose a scalable algorithm called QS$^3$ORAO using the doubly stochastic gradients (DSG) framework for functional optimization. Theoretically, we prove that our method can converge to the optimal solution at the rate of $O(1/t)$, where $t$ is the number of iterations for stochastic data sampling. Extensive experimental results on various benchmark and real-world datasets also demonstrate that our method is efficient and effective while retaining similar generalization performance.

Signalized intersections are managed by controllers that assign right of way (green, yellow, and red lights) to non-conflicting directions. Optimizing the actuation policy of such controllers is expected to alleviate traffic congestion and its adverse impact. Given such a safety-critical domain, the affiliated actuation policy is required to be interpretable in a way that can be understood and regulated by a human. This paper presents and analyzes several on-line optimization techniques for tuning interpretable control functions. Although these techniques are defined in a general way, this paper assumes a specific class of interpretable control functions (polynomial functions) for analysis purposes. We show that such an interpretable policy function can be as effective as a deep neural network for approximating an optimized signal actuation policy. We present empirical evidence that supports the use of value-based reinforcement learning for on-line training of the control function. Specifically, we present and study three variants of the Deep Q-learning algorithm that allow the training of an interpretable policy function. Our Deep Regulatable Hardmax Q-learning variant is shown to be particularly effective in optimizing our interpretable actuation policy, resulting in up to 19.4% reduced vehicles delay compared to commonly deployed actuated signal controllers.

Automatic differentiation frameworks are optimized for exactly one thing: computing the average mini-batch gradient. Y et, other quantities such as the variance of the mini-batch gradients or many approximations to the Hessian can, in theory, be computed efficiently, and at the same time as the gradient. While these quantities are of great interest to researchers and practitioners, current deep-learning software does not support their automatic calculation. Manually implementing them is burdensome, inefficient if done na ıvely, and the resulting code is rarely shared. This hampers progress in deep learning, and unnecessarily narrows research to focus on gradient descent and its variants; it also complicates replication studies and comparisons between newly developed methods that require those quantities, to the point of impossibility. Its capabilities are illustrated by benchmark reports for computing additional quantities on deep neural networks, and an example application by testing several recent curvature approximations for optimization. The success of deep learning and the applications it fuels can be traced to the popularization of automatic differentiation frameworks. However, this specialization also has its shortcomings: it assumes the user only wants to compute gradients or, more precisely, the average of gradients across a mini-batch of examples. Other quantities can also be computed with automatic differentiation at a comparable cost or minimal overhead to the gradient backpropagation pass; for example, approximate second-order information or the variance of gradients within the batch. These quantities are valuable to understand the geometry of deep neural networks, for the identification of free parameters, and to push the development of more efficient optimization algorithms. But researchers who want to investigate their use face a chicken-and-egg problem: automatic differentiation tools required to go beyond standard gradient methods are not available, but there is no incentive for their implementation in existing deep-learning software as long as no large portion of the users need it. Second-order methods for deep learning have been continuously investigated for decades (e.g., Becker & Le Cun, 1989; Amari, 1998; Bordes et al., 2009; Martens & Grosse, 2015).

Designing a controller for autonomous vehicles capable of providing adequate performance in all driving scenarios is challenging due to the highly complex environment and inability to test the system in the wide variety of scenarios which it may encounter after deployment. However, deep learning methods have shown great promise in not only providing excellent performance for complex and non-linear control problems, but also in generalising previously learned rules to new scenarios. For these reasons, the use of deep learning for vehicle control is becoming increasingly popular. Although important advancements have been achieved in this field, these works have not been fully summarised. This paper surveys a wide range of research works reported in the literature which aim to control a vehicle through deep learning methods. Although there exists overlap between control and perception, the focus of this paper is on vehicle control, rather than the wider perception problem which includes tasks such as semantic segmentation and object detection. The paper identifies the strengths and limitations of available deep learning methods through comparative analysis and discusses the research challenges in terms of computation, architecture selection, goal specification, generalisation, verification and validation, as well as safety. Overall, this survey brings timely and topical information to a rapidly evolving field relevant to intelligent transportation systems.
