Blue-collar worker - Wikipedia

#artificialintelligence

A blue-collar worker is a working class person who performs manual labor. Blue-collar work may involve skilled or unskilled manufacturing, mining, sanitation, custodial work, textile manufacturing, power plant operations, farming, commercial fishing, landscaping, pest control, food processing, oil field work, waste disposal, recycling, electrical, plumbing, construction, mechanic, maintenance, warehousing, shipping, technical installation, and many other types of physical work. Blue-collar work often involves something being physically built or maintained. In contrast, the white-collar worker typically performs work in an office environment and may involve sitting at a computer or desk. A third type of work is a service worker (pink collar) whose labor is related to customer interaction, entertainment, sales or other service-oriented work.


Classroom Education and How AI Can Improve - DataHive DataHive Labs

#artificialintelligence

According to a study by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council, 90% of the colleges in India are of poor quality. The system itself encourages a rat race among students, which only makes them concerned about marks and mugging up facts instead of learning the concepts which stress them out. Teachers use outdated techniques to impart knowledge which today's students find monotonous. Moreover, teachers aren't even trained properly. Personalised Learning: AI enables personalised learning for students.


Supercomputers Pave the Way for New Machine Learning Approach

#artificialintelligence

According to a release issued earlier this month by the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), researchers have developed a machine learning approach called transfer learning that lets them model novel materials by learning from data collected about millions of other compounds. The new approach can be applied to new molecules in milliseconds, enabling research into a far greater number of compounds over much longer timescales. The new technique, called ANI-1ccx potential, promises to advance the capabilities of researchers in many fields and improve the accuracy of machine learning-based potentials in future studies of metal alloys and detonation physics. "Our quantum mechanical calculations to create ANI-1ccx potential were conducted over two years with time split on the Comet supercomputer at the San Diego Supercomputer Center and the Badger supercomputer at LANL," said Olexandr Isayev, paper author and a pharmacy professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "We chose these two supercomputers to train our neural networks as there are few machines that can run these โ€“ due to the high memory and core requirements."


Adoption of AI in education is accelerating. Massive potential but hurdles remain.

#artificialintelligence

Education is perhaps one of the most obvious areas for the application of artificial intelligence, with the potential to improve access, dramatically reduce cost and accelerate learning outcomes. As in many other fields, AI in education is focused on performing cognitive functions such as perceiving, reasoning, learning, and problem-solving with application to vast the challenges and opportunities of continuously educating the 7.7 billion people on the planet. Overall, the Global Executive Panel sees significant potential for AI in education, with the greatest impact expected in testing and assessment. Post-secondary and language learning were also considered sectors which will be impacted, followed by K12. There were a wider range of views around AI's potential for Pre K.


Math Learning Software MATHia by Carnegie Learning

#artificialintelligence

LiveLab, our live facilitation tool, was named "Best Use of Artificial Intelligence in Education" in the 2019 EdTech Breakthrough Awards. It provides in-the-moment, actionable data, such as when students are working or idle, so you can effectively manage students working in MATHia at all times. LiveLab alerts you when students may be in need of additional support, and lets you know when students have reached progression milestones.


AI & Machine Learning Content Services from Fujitsu and Lemmana

#artificialintelligence

The next generation of scanning has arrived. The combination of this new scanner, its software and integration with Lemmana is unique. Never before has Machine Learning been used in the scanning process making this the first time unstructured content on paper documents, can be extracted so every piece of data is routed to the right place. Plus, because it has the ability to learn, this new generation scanner can recognise previous data, for example, patient or customer details, and then file similar information away in the same place, saving time and eradicating any human error. Lemmana is one of the first content service companies to use Machine Learning, so it should come as no surprise they have the expertise and knowledge to ensure everything they design is easily integrated into the many content platforms found around the world.


Data Lit (Official Music Video)

#artificialintelligence

This lyrics of this music video are actually educational and they serve as an introductory lecture on AI. This video also acts as a teaser trailer for my upcoming, free 3 month Data Science course for beginners titled "Data Lit" at School of AI (Jan 28 start date). That's what keeps me going. Sign up for the "Data Lit" course at School of AI: https://www.theschool.ai/courses/data... Want more education? Shoutout to my Wizards, this ones for you It started with hello world hello engineers And now we're, world-wide yo and this the premiere So u gotta sit down tight and let me teach you a lesson I call it intro to AI, this is my confession Lesson one starts simple gotta get that data Don't even mess with the thetas until we get that data And if we open the file, it might look like a haze, But if we keep it algorithmic we can set it ablaze Hello!

Robots turn teachers in Bengaluru school, all thanks to Artificial Intelligence (AI)

#artificialintelligence

Disruptive technologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are making their way into classrooms as humanoid robots to teach students and interact with them as teachers do, at a school in Bengaluru. Though the 5 foot 7 inch robots, dressed in formal female attire, do not replace real teachers, they complement them in teaching lessons in the subjects and reply to FAQs (frequently asked questions) from students. "We have programmed the interactive robots to answer questions students frequently ask on the subjects and related to them. With AI in play, the robots are able to respond to questions and doubts of our wards after a lesson is taught," said Mr Rao. The private international day-cum-boarding school has 25 co-ed students in each of the four sections for Classes 7-9.


Two IIT Madras-incubated startups join hands to create 1 lakh AI, Deep Learning experts

#artificialintelligence

CHENNAI: Two startups incubated at Indian Institute of Technology Madras have joined hands with a mission to create one Lakh experts in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning by the year 2020. GUVI, which offers a platform for students in Tier 2,3 cities to learn in vernacular languages, is now collaborating with One Fourth Labs, a startup founded by IIT Madras Faculty which offers advanced AI courses. AI is one of the dominant technologies of this generation, which has helped machines reach human-level performance on specific tasks such as identifying faces, classifying images, playing complex strategy games, detecting anomalies in medical images and so on. There is a huge demand for AI talent in India, but the supply is limited due to a shortage of affordable courses which take students from basics to advanced topics. GUVI will be the platform partner and One Fourth Labs will be the content partner for this joint initiative.
