Microsoft 'Week of AI' virtual workshop series

#artificialintelligence

There are 5 modules of 2.5 hours duration each; and include live demos, quiz and hands-on assignments. Each session will be introduced by an opening core-note by leading data scientists and AI influencers. Season 2 of Microsoft'Week of AI' will focus on skilling with deep technical sessions on data science and conversational AI. The content is designed to prepare the attendees for industry recognized certifications. Season 1 of'Week of AI' sessions covered the basics of AI and introduction to data science and machine learning.


The Birth of Venus: Building a Deep Learning Computer From Scratch - Mihail Eric

#artificialintelligence

In this post we are going to learn about Venus, my deep learning computer, and how I built it. Along the way, I will explain at a high-level what each hardware component of a computer does and how I navigated the landscape of selecting parts for a functional build. I'll also describe how I installed relevant software for the machine and include some benchmarks showing the superior performance of a GPU system over a pure CPU system. WARNING: this is a pretty long post that functions as a complete tutorial for building a deep learning computer literally from scratch, no assumptions made. But…since it's long I highly encourage you to peruse and skip any sections depending on your interest. While there are numerous build descriptions out there showing how people constructed their own deep learning rigs, as I went about consulting some of them, I often felt there was some crucial component missing. As you start on your build journey, it's easy to get mired in the weeds of hardware terminology. Should I pick an M.2 SSD or will SATA suffice? Can I get away with HDD? How many PCIe x16 slots do I need? Should I pick DDR4-3000 or DDR4-2400 memory? All this lingo can be very overwhelming especially for newcomers to hardware. But before we start shamelessly name-dropping so that we sound smart, let's go back to the fundamentals.


Artificial Intelligence in Education System Market 2019: Popular Trends, Growth, Rising Demand & Progressive Technologies To Watch Out For Near Future - Sound On Sound Fest

#artificialintelligence

The statistical study, the report outlines the Global Artificial Intelligence in Education System Industry including production, cost/profit, supply-demand, and import-export. The total market is further bifurcated into a company, by country, and by various segmentation for the competitive landscape study.


Making the machine: the machine learning lifecycle Google Cloud Blog

#artificialintelligence

The machine learning lifecycle consists of three major phases: Planning (red), Data Engineering (blue) and Modeling (yellow). In contrast to a static algorithm coded by a software developer, an ML model is an algorithm that is learned and dynamically updated. You can think of a software application as an amalgamation of algorithms, defined by design patterns and coded by software engineers, that perform planned tasks. Once an application is released to production, it may not perform as planned, prompting developers to rethink, redesign, and rewrite it (continuous integration/continuous delivery). We are entering an era of replacing some of these static algorithms with ML models, which are essentially dynamic algorithms.


Malaysia Holds First AI for Accessibility Hackathon - G3ict: The Global Initiative for Inclusive ICTs

#artificialintelligence

In a bid to create a more inclusive world using artificial intelligence (AI), an American multinational technology company has hosted its first-ever AI for Accessibility hackathon in Malaysia. The hackathon saw teams of IT professionals, university students and young developers working side-by-side with universities, international organisations, start-ups and non-profit organisations to tackle more than 23 different problem statements, identifying opportunities to use AI to build a more inclusive and accessible world. The hackathon was held concurrently across the Asia Pacific and saw over 400 participants in eight countries being brought together to conceptualise and prototype AI solutions that can transform the daily lives of people with disabilities. In Malaysia, the teams worked on problem statements provided by the Malaysian Federation for the Deaf. Technology solutions were developed to address challenges relating to daily life, communication and employment challenges for the deaf community and people with hearing disabilities.


What happens when we teach a computer how to learn?

#artificialintelligence

Technologist Jeremy Howard shares some surprising new developments in the fast-moving field of deep learning, a technique that can give computers the ability to learn Chinese, or to recognize objects in photos, or to help think through a medical diagnosis. Get caught up on a field that will change the way the computers around you behave ... sooner than you probably think. This talk was presented to a local audience at TEDxBrussels, an independent event.



Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Python Analytics Insight

#artificialintelligence

Ever since computers were invented, there has been an exponential growth in their ability and potential to perform various tasks. In order to use computers across diverse working domains, humans have developed computer systems while increasing their speed, and reducing size with respect to time. Artificial Intelligence pursues the stream of developing the computers or machines to be as intelligent as humans themselves. In this article we will scrape the top layer about the concepts of artificial intelligence that will help understand related concepts like Artificial Neural Networks, Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Genetic algorithms etc. Along with this, we will also learn about its implementation in Python.


Highlights: Addressing fairness in the context of artificial intelligence

#artificialintelligence

When society uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help build judgments about individuals, fairness and equity are critical considerations. On Nov. 12, Brookings Fellow Nicol Turner-Lee sat down with Solon Barocas of Cornell University, Natasha Duarte of the Center for Democracy & Technology, and Karl Ricanek of the University of North Carolina Wilmington to discuss artificial intelligence in the context of societal bias, technological testing, and the legal system. Artificial intelligence is an element of many everyday services and applications, including electronic devices, online search engines, and social media platforms. In most cases, AI provides positive utility for consumers--such as when machines automatically detect credit card fraud or help doctors assess health care risks. However, there is a smaller percentage of cases, such as when AI helps inform decisions on credit limits or mortgage lending, where technology has a higher potential to augment historical biases.


Full stack web dev, machine learning and AI integrations

#artificialintelligence

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.
