The problem of rural internet access: How AI is helping
Many of these people live in rural areas, where fiber, coaxial cable, DSL or any other kind of broadband infrastructure is scarce or nonexistent. This is a huge issue for rural community administrators and school officials who have been struggling to help their communities. For example, students can use the internet in school, but when they go home to do their homework, they have no access. At Revolution D, I've been working with these local officials to try to help them solve their problems. Technology has changed a lot in the past few years--what's known as fixed wireless technology is becoming more widespread.
Neural Networks: Is Meta-learning the New Black?
I've written several times about how the "economies of learning" are more powerful than the "economies of scale". Through a continuous learning and refinement process, organizations can simultaneously drive down marginal costs while accelerating time-to-value and de-risking projects via digital asset re-use and refinement (see Figure 1). Think about how us lowly humans learn. Whether trying to hit a golf ball or playing the piano or water skiing, we learn though the "feedback loop of failure". And the more real-time, immediate that feedback loop, the more quickly we can assess what we did wrong, adjust and then try again.
Meet The Seattle Startup That's Truly Democratizing AI for Developers
But machine learning continues to be one of the toughest skills to acquire. The domain is as vast and as complex as the field of computer science. Developers will have to learn new languages, algorithms, frameworks, tools from an extremely diverse and fragmented ecosystem. They need to learn how to use the cloud to train the models and optimizing those models to integrate with a variety of environments and platforms. The complexity multiplies when we attempt to take the models to the edge.

Computer science in service of medicine
MIT's Ray and Maria Stata Center (Building 32), known for its striking outward appearance, is also designed to foster collaboration among the people inside. Sitting in the famous building's amphitheater on a brisk fall day, Kristy Carpenter smiles as she speaks enthusiastically about how interdisciplinary efforts between the fields of computer science and molecular biology are helping accelerate the process of drug discovery and design. Carpenter, an MIT senior with a joint major in both subjects, said she didn't want to specialize in only one or the other -- it's the intersection between both disciplines, and the application of that work to improving human health, that she finds compelling. "For me, to be really fulfilled in my work as a scientist, I want to have some tangible impact," she says. Carpenter explains that artificial intelligence, which can help compute the combinations of compounds that would be better for a particular drug, can reduce trial-and-error time and ideally quicken the process of designing new medicines.

Five Automated Machine Learning Solutions for P&C Insurance
In an insurance marketplace where the average P&C combined ratio is hovering close to 99 points, a single point improvement can yield a dramatic increase in profitability. AI and automated machine learning bring five new dynamics to P&C insurance operations that empower companies to shed previous constraints and break out of the pack to pursue substantial improvements in loss and combined ratios.
Quantum Computing Is Poised to Change Everything Inside Higher Ed
I recall the advent of the ILLIAC computer, ARPANET (that grew into the internet), the personal computer, the mobile phone, the smartphone, and other advancements in technology that have had such a huge impact on our society. Yet these are mere drops in the ocean compared to the impact we will see from the advent of quantum computing. Earlier this year, Google's 53-qubit computer reached computing supremacy, and from now on the world will never be the same. Google's quantum computer was reportedly able to solve a calculation -- proving the randomness of numbers produced by a random number generator -- in 3 minutes and 20 seconds that would take the world's fastest traditional supercomputer, Summit, around 10,000 years. This effectively means that the calculation cannot be performed by a traditional computer, making Google the first to demonstrate quantum supremacy.
Zach Pardos is Using Machine Learning to Broaden Pathways from Community College
UC Berkeley Assistant Professor Zachary Pardos and his team have developed a machine learning approach that promises to help more community college students position themselves to transfer and succeed at four-year colleges and universities. Along the way, they've discovered that considering course enrollment patterns -- or the classes that students take before, along with, and after a particular course -- can help provide a more complete picture of what courses should "count" when students transfer. Roughly 80% of community college students aim to continue their education at four-year institutions, but the vast majority never make the transfer. Contributing to the problem are the complexities of "articulation," or determining which course at one institution will count for credit at another. This entails assessing the similarity of thousands, or potentially even millions, of pairs of courses, an endeavor that's impossible to comprehensively achieve and keep current across all institutions manually.
SAS Tutorial Python Integration with SAS Viya
In this SAS How To Tutorial, Ari Zitin explores several examples of Python integration with SAS. There are many SAS Viya Cloud Analytic Services (CAS) that can be submitted from Python. In this Python integration demo, Ari focuses on predictive modeling. He shows how to connect to CAS, access in-memory data, bring data locally to use Pandas, and prepare data for predictive modeling. Ari then steps through how to build, score and assess a Decision Tree model.
