AI Poised to Impact High-Skill U.S. Jobs Including Finance, Tech - BNN Bloomberg

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence is coming for America's high-paid professions as it creates winners and losers across the labor market like never before. White-collar jobs and better-educated occupations along with production workers are among the most susceptible to AI's spread into the economy, according to a Brookings Institution report Wednesday that draws on a new analysis of patent data by a Stanford University economist. "Just as the impacts of robotics and software tend to be sizable and negative on exposed middle- and low-skill occupations, so AI's inroads are projected to negatively impact higher-skill occupations," researchers Mark Muro, Jacob Whiton and Robert Maxim wrote. Workers with graduate or professional degrees will be almost four times as exposed to AI as workers with just a high school degree, the report showed. The researchers also concluded that AI appears most likely to affect men, prime-age and white and Asian American workers.


Customer Churn Modeling using Machine Learning with parsnip

#artificialintelligence

This article comes from Diego Usai, a student in Business Science University. Diego has completed both 101 (Data Science Foundations) and 201 (Advanced Machine Learning & Business Consulting) courses. Diego shows off his progress in this Customer Churn Tutorial using Machine Learning with parsnip. Diego originally posted the article on his personal website, diegousai.io, Recently I have completed the online course Business Analysis With R focused on applied data and business science with R, which introduced me to a couple of new modelling concepts and approaches.

When does the course start and finish? The course starts now and never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish. That said, most students will need about three weeks to complete the course materials. How long do I have access to the course?


3 Microsoft Reinforcement Learning Environments Every ML Researcher Should Know

#artificialintelligence

Reinforcement learning is the study of decision making over time with consequences. The field has developed systems to make decisions in complex environments based on external, and possibly delayed, feedback. "Microsoft Research, works on developing the theory, algorithms and systems for technology that learns from its own successes (and failures), explores the world "just enough" to learn, and can infer which decisions have led to those outcomes. Our primary goal is reinforcement learning in the real world: understanding how to build systems that work, even when simulation is unavailable and samples are scarce." To celebrate hosting the Reinforcement Learning Israel Meetup organized by the talented Shani Gamrian at the Microsoft Reactor here is a list of three Reinforcement Learning Environments every ML enthusiast should know.


Keynotes

#artificialintelligence

The following keynote speakers have been confirmed for IEEE GLOBECOM 2019. Abstract: We are well into the "Internet of Things" era for the Internet. Billions of devices are expected and it is not uncommon to find a dozen or even a score of Internet-enabled devices in residences and offices around the world. These systems run on software - some of which has not been well tested for safety and security. We need to introduce and promote an ethic of software safety and extended maintenance to protect the users of these devices.


Drexel University cuts ribbon on new artificial intelligence lab

#artificialintelligence

Drexel University has a brand new lab dedicated entirely to artificial intelligence. It's being used by 100 students who are getting master's degrees while working with the company D.X.C. Technology. They will use the space to work alongside professionals to develop and launch new products for D.X.C., which specializes in I.T. services and solutions.


Tony Brooker obituary

The Guardian

Tony Brooker, who has died aged 94, was a pioneer of computer programming and education. He designed and implemented the world's first high-level programming language, at Manchester University, and was later founding professor of computer science at Essex University. In 1947, when Brooker took up his first academic post, as assistant lecturer in engineering mathematics at Imperial College, University of London, computers were in the air. He joined Professor KD Tocher and another student, Sidney Michaelson, in building the Icce (Imperial College Computing Engine, pronounced "icky"). In 1949 Brooker became a research assistant at the Cambridge University mathematical laboratory and took charge of its differential analyser, a prewar analogue computer.


Popular Deep Learning Courses of 2019 - KDnuggets

#artificialintelligence

Deep Learning is gaining more momentum and notoriety among the data science generation of this decade. A few years ago, it was not as mainstream as Machine Learning techniques, such as Logistic Regression and Random Forest for example. Nowadays, it is all about Neural Networks, Activation Functions, Multiple Layers, Drop-out, etc. There is good reason for this one, which is simply, Deep Learning has shown to perform better than Machine Learning algorithms at times. The following courses are famous among peers for knowledge on the new wave of Deep Learning and AI.



Artificial Intelligence-led advancements seeping into different industries

#artificialintelligence

Cutting-edge automation, smart features and productivity hacks; the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is here to disrupt conventional norms. While users may remain oblivious to the sheer extent and scale of automation seeping into our daily lives, we can all take a whiff of the changing times. The writing on the wall is clear! AI is here to make our everyday lived experiences smarter and more efficient. To the same end, some of the leading and fast-growing companies of today have made AI an integral part of their offerings.
