Artificial Intelligence Rolls Out Across Academic Disciplines

#artificialintelligence

The University of Texas at San Antonio is participating in a pioneering program to introduce artificial intelligence (AI) principles to students in all academic disciplines. UTSA is working with MITRE, a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to research and development in the public interest, to help faculty develop lesson modules incorporating AI, big data analytics and data visualization in classrooms across campus this academic year. The project, codenamed "Generation AI Nexus" or "Gen AI," refers to anyone born in 1995 and later. The goal is to help all students, regardless of their major, understand AI and how to use it as an effective tool. "As an organization of system thinkers and problem solvers, MITRE recognizes the need for novel partnerships with universities to develop talent for the 21st century workforce," said Bobby Blount, department head for cyber ops and C2 effects at MITRE.


Can AI Replace Teachers To Grade Student Essays? A Lesson From US Schools

#artificialintelligence

In countries like the US, artificial intelligence is already being used at a large scale to evaluate student essays, saving educational institutes money and time. According to reports, at least 21 states in America have deployed some type of automated scoring, from middle school to college level. Students are being graded on their essays using such AI systems designed by different vendors for highly important tests like the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE). While educators in the US say they are not going back to using human teachers for essay grading, it has received major backlash from parents particularly those from state school systems. But, it's not all great when it comes to automated grading.


Watch Out Finance, Business, Tech Workers. Artificial Intelligence Is Coming.

#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 Stanford University graduate student Michael Webb. "Webb's modeling suggests that 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, noting that their analysis shows potential impacts can be both positive and negative. 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.


Engaging the public in robotics: 11 tips from 5,000 robotics events across Europe

Robohub

Europe is focussed on making robots that work for the benefit of society. This requires empowering future roboticists and users of all ages and backgrounds. In its 9th edition, the European Robotics Week (#ERW2019) is expected to host more than 1000 events across Europe. Over the years, and over 5,000 events, the organisers have learned a thing or two about reaching the public, and ultimately making the robots people want. For many, robots are only seen in the media or science fiction.

When AI meets HR, here's what happens

#artificialintelligence

According to a recent survey, 82 per cent of HR leaders believe their roles will be completely different in a decade's time. Big things are happening, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) taking a starring role. More than a third of the 500 companies we recently polled said they had adopted some form of AI in the past year, and almost half of the HR leaders we surveyed said that machine learning โ€“ a form of AI โ€“ will improve their HR function. AI is already being put to work in key areas such as recruitment, onboarding and employee development. For talent teams, these technologies are helping to free up resources, make better decisions, and crucially, deliver the type of experience that encourages top talent to stick around.


Top Five Machine Learning courses for beginners on Udemy

#artificialintelligence

Everybody wants to do machine learning these days. Machine learning, data science, artificial intelligence, deep learning, neural network -- these have become some of the most used phrases in the tech space today. I'm not saying it's particularly bad, but it definitely gets scary for somebody who doesn't really know what all this means but wants to get into the rat race. When you think about it, from a software developer's point of view, these are just different types of software or applications you work on, but with more math involved. I know I'm oversimplifying what data science is, but for somebody who doesn't have a mathematics or statistics background, it is very difficult to understand the jargon initially.

Memory-Efficient Episodic Control Reinforcement Learning with Dynamic Online k-means

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Recently, neuro-inspired episodic control (EC) methods have been developed to overcome the data-inefficiency of standard deep reinforcement learning approaches. Using non-/semi-parametric models to estimate the value function, they learn rapidly, retrieving cached values from similar past states. In realistic scenarios, with limited resources and noisy data, maintaining meaningful representations in memory is essential to speed up the learning and avoid catastrophic forgetting. Unfortunately, EC methods have a large space and time complexity. We investigate different solutions to these problems based on prioritising and ranking stored states, as well as online clustering techniques. We also propose a new dynamic online k-means algorithm that is both computationally-efficient and yields significantly better performance at smaller memory sizes; we validate this approach on classic reinforcement learning environments and Atari games.
