A computer video game called'Active Shooter' would allow players to choose between a member of a SWAT team disarming an active shooter, or to become the shooter themselves. The owners of video game marketplace Steam said it has removed a game where players could simulate a school shooting either as police or the shooter themselves. Valve Corporation said it has pulled Active Shooter, which was scheduled to launch on the Steam platform June 6. Valve also said after investigating the controversy surrounding the game, it learned a person identified as Ata Berdiyev was behind the game's publisher, Revived Games, and developer Acid. Active Shooter was described as a "dynamic SWAT simulator" where players can choose to work as the member of a SWAT team attempting to disarm the shooter, or the shooter themselves.

A video game designed to simulate school shooting scenarios has been removed from the digital games store Steam. Active Shooter was due to be launched on the popular PC gaming site on 6 June, provoking an outcry from politicians and the parents of children killed during the Parkland shooting in Florida. A petition calling for the game to be removed from the store was signed by more than 180,000 people. Valve Corporation, which runs the Steam site used by more than 100 million people, said in a statement: "We have removed the developer Revived Games and publisher ACID from Steam. 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.'"

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.

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

Over the past couple years, it has become super easy to capture photos and videos on jobsites; now with Smartvid.io

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
