Deep Learning for Student Competitions

#artificialintelligence

In today's post, Neha Goel is going to share an overview about how you can use MATLAB and Simulink for Developing Artificial Intelligent components in your competitions. Neha joined the team recently and focuses on deep learning and data science competitions. Also find a section in this post where Neha reveals what projects she is currently working on. Competitions and students in different application areas are adding AI components to their projects. The major areas include Autonomous Vehicle Competitions, Aerospace, Robotics, Data Science etc. Refer to link here to know about all competitions MathWorks sponsors. Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL) are some of the hottest topics right now.


How food manufacturers can use mixed reality tools to enhance operations

#artificialintelligence

Characterized by a fusion of technologies that blur the lines between the physical and digital, the Fourth Industrial Revolution is spreading across the manufacturing world. As a component of this revolution, a growing number of suppliers are using augmented reality (A.R.) to improve operations in workforce training and equipment maintenance. A.R. is a technologically enhanced version of reality created by using technology to overlay digital information on an image of something being viewed through a device, such as smart goggles or a smartphone camera. The goggles are often voice-controlled, leaving wearers with both hands free. Statista estimates the A.R. market was worth $5.91 billion in 2018 and that it will reach more than $198.7 billion by 2025.

Can AI help to address the literary skills gap? - Education Technology

#artificialintelligence

Early disadvantage can be devastating in the classroom. We know, for example, that bright primary school children in receipt of free school meals struggle to keep up with their better-off peers. According to new analysis from the DfE, they are also less likely to be in lasting employment at the age of 27. Additionally, we know that the disparities begin to show right from the start of education. More than a quarter of children finish Reception without the communication and reading skills they need to flourish.


Teaching AI

#artificialintelligence

For many, artificial intelligence, or AI, may seem like a new and possibly overwhelming concept. The reality is that AI is already being applied in industry and, for many of us, in our daily lives as well. A better understanding of AI can help you make informed decisions now that will impact the future of your learners. In Teaching AI, you'll learn what AI is, how it works and how to use it to better prepare students in a world with increased human-computer interaction. Michelle Zimmerman has taught students from ages 3-16.


Learning Belief Representations for Imitation Learning in POMDPs

arXiv.org Machine Learning

We consider the problem of imitation learning from expert demonstrations in partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs). Belief representations, which characterize the distribution over the latent states in a POMDP, have been modeled using recurrent neural networks and probabilistic latent variable models, and shown to be effective for reinforcement learning in POMDPs. In this work, we investigate the belief representation learning problem for generative adversarial imitation learning in POMDPs. Instead of training the belief module and the policy separately as suggested in prior work, we learn the belief module jointly with the policy, using a task-aware imitation loss to ensure that the representation is more aligned with the policy's objective. To improve robustness of representation, we introduce several informative belief regularization techniques, including multi-step prediction of dynamics and action-sequences. Evaluated on various partially observable continuous-control locomotion tasks, our belief-module imitation learning approach (BMIL) substantially outperforms several baselines, including the original GAIL algorithm and the task-agnostic belief learning algorithm. Extensive ablation analysis indicates the effectiveness of task-aware belief learning and belief regularization.


Artificial Intelligence, Spotting 'Fake News,' and Digital Equity: What to See at ISTE 2019

#artificialintelligence

All those topics have made headlines this year--in Education Week and elsewhere--and all of them are splashed over the agenda of the country's largest education technology conference, which kicks off in Philadelphia this weekend. The International Society for Technology in Education will draw thousands of teachers, school administrators, and researchers from across the world, not to mention the dozens of ed-tech companies hungry for a piece of the K-12 market. Ben Herold, an ISTE veteran, will be moderating a panel on meeting the ed tech needs of extraordinary students. And I'll be at ISTE for the first time! Follow me on Twitter at @AlysonRKlein.

New deepfake tech turns a single photo and audio file into a singing video portrait

#artificialintelligence

Another day, another deepfake: but this time they can sing. New research from Imperial College in London and Samsung's AI research center in the UK shows how a single photo and audio file can be used to generate a singing or talking video portrait. Like previous deepfake programs we've seen, the researchers uses machine learning to generate their output. And although the fakes are far from 100 percent realistic, the results are amazing considering how little data is needed. Getting a bit wackier, why not have everyone's favorite mad monk, Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin, belting out the Beyoncé classic'Halo'?


Building a career in artificial intelligence: AI pros share tips and advice

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence is central to the ongoing tech revolution, and it's getting smarter all the time. The driving force behind computer vision, speech analysis and natural language processing, AI impacts industry and society in numerous ways -- and will continue to do so far into the future. It's no surprise, then, that the AI field is rife with career opportunities -- so many of them, in fact, that the sector now faces a unique challenge: There are too many jobs and too few qualified candidates. On the up side, that means it offers virtually guaranteed (and well-paying) employment for those who've got the goods. So how does one get into AI, and what does an artificial intelligence career path look like? We asked some of the field's top experts to share insights from their journey to help guide the way.
