Linear algebra is an important foundation area of mathematics required for achieving a deeper understanding of machine learning algorithms. Below is the 3 step process that you can use to get up-to-speed with linear algebra for machine learning, fast. You can see all linear algebra posts here. Below is a selection of some of the most popular tutorials. Machine learning is about machine learning algorithms.


Learn Deep Learning in 6 Weeks

#artificialintelligence

Deep Learning is the dark art of our times. In this video, i've compiled an open source 6 week curriculum to help you learn deep learning using various sources from the Web. I'll describe all of my learning resources, why i chose them, and how they can help you. That's what keeps me going. Sign up for the next course at The School of AI: https://www.theschool.ai



End-to-end data science: Time-series prediction

@machinelearnbot

We'll find weather data, explore it and get it in order. We'll use the modeling tools of deseasonalization and linear regression to predict temperatures at the beach. We'll use the statistical tools of autoregression and confidence intervals to guide our feature selection and apply our results. And we'll code the whole thing up from scratch in python and organize it to be easy to read and easy to extend. When you're done, you'll have a standalone weather predictor that can estimate high temperatures three days from now.


A Video Game Letting Players Simulate a School Shooting Has Been Pulled After Criticism

TIME - Tech

A video game that allowed players to assume the role of a school shooter is being pulled following harsh criticism from families of victims and survivors of mass shootings. Active Shooter was set to debut on June 6, until public outcry and an online petition forced the video-game developer Valve Corp. to remove the game from its Steam online store, Deadline reports. Active Shooter reportedly enabled players to move through a school as a SWAT officer or gunman and simulate killing police and civilians with an assault rifle. Valve Corp. has also removed the game's publisher, ACID, and its developer, Revived Games, the company said in a statement to Deadline. "We are not going to do business with people who act like this towards our customers or Valve," the statement said.


The 10 Algorithms Machine Learning Engineers Need to Know

@machinelearnbot

It is no doubt that the sub-field of machine learning / artificial intelligence has increasingly gained more popularity in the past couple of years. As Big Data is the hottest trend in the tech industry at the moment, machine learning is incredibly powerful to make predictions or calculated suggestions based on large amounts of data. Some of the most common examples of machine learning are Netflix's algorithms to make movie suggestions based on movies you have watched in the past or Amazon's algorithms that recommend books based on books you have bought before. So if you want to learn more about machine learning, how do you start? For me, my first introduction is when I took an Artificial Intelligence class when I was studying abroad in Copenhagen. My lecturer is a full-time Applied Math and CS professor at the Technical University of Denmark, in which his research areas are logic and artificial, focusing primarily on the use of logic to model human-like planning, reasoning and problem solving.


How Machine Learning Can Improve Teaching Excellence

#artificialintelligence

Machine learning can potentially redefine not only how education is delivered, but also foster quality learning on the students' part. Probably the most important part of the role of machine learning in teaching is customized teaching. With machine learning, we are moving away from the one-size-fits-all methodology. Machine learning promises to deliver custom in-class teaching by providing real-time feedback based on individual student behavior and other factors. This improves the chances of better learning. Machine learning also plays an important role in assessments or evaluations by removing biases.


Gujarat Technological University students to get training of artificial intelligence Latest News & Updates at Daily News & Analysis

#artificialintelligence

Students from Gujarat Technological University (GTU) will receive training in Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a part of a project initiated by the Royal Academy of Engineering, UK under Newton Bhabha Fund. GTU is one of the collaborators in the nationwide initiative on enhancing AI skills and research under the fund. Speaking about the same, Dr Navin Sheth, Vice-Chancellor, GTU, said, "One of the objectives of the project is to make a research group, which will work in a specific domain like Healthcare, Agriculture, Space Research, CyberSecurity, Education, Video Processing, Audio and Natural Language Processing, Business, Banking, Crime, Social Media Analytics, Entertainment, Brain-Computer Interface and Network Simulation. Under this project, faculty members will get training on deep learning and AI technologies without any cost and sabbaticals will be offered to faculty members." AICTE has recommended all of its 10,000 approved institutions to associate with the project.


'Active Shooter' video game pulled after huge backlash

FOX News

A game developer said it would pull the planned'Active Shooter' video game after backlash. A game developer and digital distribution company has announced, after facing harsh criticism, that it will pull a video game that allows players to simulate a school shooter. Valve Inc. announced Tuesday it would pull "Active Shooter" from its online gaming platform, Steam, after learning that the game's publisher and developer has a "history of customer abuse" that was uncovered as a result of the controversy surrounding the game, Variety and other news outlets reported. "This developer and publisher is, in fact, a person calling himself Ata Berdiyev, who had previously been removed last fall when he was operating as '[bc]Interactive' and'Elusive Team,'" Valve said. His subsequent return under new business names was a fact that came to light as we investigated the controversy around his upcoming title.


The 4 Machine Learning Skills You Won't Learn in School or MOOCs

#artificialintelligence

Machine Learning (ML) has become massively popular over the last several years. And why… well simply because it works! The latest research has achieved record breaking results, even surpassing human performance on some tasks. Of course as a result many people are rushing to get into this field; and why not. It's well funded, the technology is exciting and interesting, and there's lots of room for growth.
