Artificial Intelligence Will Relieve Skills Shortages, If We Could Find Enough People To Build It

Forbes - Tech

It seems the growing interest in artificial intelligence as a way to expand digital business potential -- often hampered by hard-to-find-skills -- is creating a skill shortage of its own. A recent poll of 122 business leaders, released by EY, finds relative optimism about AI and its potential to create more jobs. Yet, they are having trouble finding people with the skills to make AI a working reality for their organizations. AI will launch many new careers. The survey finds that a majority of executives, 52 percent, believe it will have a "positive impact" on job creation.


A Machine Learning Guide for Average Humans

#artificialintelligence

This will allow you to get the gist of what's going on with minimal time commitment. By this point, learners would understand their interest levels. Continue with content focused on applying relevant knowledge as fast as possible. If you've made it through the last section and are still hungry for more knowledge, move on to broadening your horizons. Read content focused on teaching the breadth of machine learning -- building an intuition for what the algorithms are trying to accomplish (whether visual or mathematically). By this point, you will already have AWS running instances, a mathematical foundation, and an overarching view of machine learning. This is your jumping-off point to determine what you want to do. You should be able to determine your next step based on your interest, whether it's entering Kaggle competitions; doing Fast.ai part two; diving deep into the mathematics with Pattern Recognition & Machine Learning by Christopher Bishop; giving Andrew Ng's newer Deeplearning.ai


Attention High School Grads: Now You Can Major in A.I.--and Become a Very Hot Job Candidate

#artificialintelligence

It's a college major that sounds straight out of science fiction: Starting this fall, at least two U.S. schools are offering degrees focused on artificial intelligence. Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh announced on May 10 that the school will launch a bachelor of science program in artificial intelligence this fall. "Specialists in artificial intelligence have never been more important, in shorter supply or in greater demand by employers," said Andrew Moore, dean of the School of Computer Science, in a statement. Students in the computer-science school can enter the degree program in their second year. The course of study will include the same computer science and math courses as other students in the school, but will "focus more on how complex inputs -- such as vision, language and huge databases -- are used to make decisions or enhance human capabilities," the statement says.


Master Class: The 5 Stages of Digital Transformation

#artificialintelligence

After decades of coaching senior execs on increasingly-digitally-driven transformations, I discovered a pattern -- the Five Universal Stages of Digital Transformation. Nearly 30 years ago, a client gave me the button below -- (with all words clearly visible) -- and explained its power: "Never underestimate the authority of numbers and spreadsheets." Forty years ago, during the spring of 1978, we have Harvard MBA student Dan Bricklin to thank for the dawn of the Data Fondling Era. When their program took off, so did data fondling. Because a spreadsheet looks so authoritative, hypothetical models of success got accepted as guaranteed.

What frustrates Data Scientists in Machine Learning projects?

#artificialintelligence

There is an explosion of interest in data science today. One just needs to insert the tag-line'Powered-by-AI', and anything sells. But, thats where the problems begin. Data science sales pitches often promise the moon. Then, clients raise the expectations a notch up and launch their moonshot projects.


The Augmented Workforce: how one company is making the connection between AI and the human work

#artificialintelligence

By combining human-centric machine learning and intelligent context generation, contextere is developing an intelligent personal agent capable of delivering actionable insights at the point of service. Its industrial software weaves together the power of AI and IoT data to give blue collar workers the right information, at the right time, on the right device. Here, Gabe Batstone, contextere CEO shares a vision of the future that empowers workers through automation. In recent years, industrial enterprises have seen a rise in emerging technologies and digital tools that offer considerable improvements in the workplace. It's clear that modernizing in this context is an uphill battle for the blue-collar workforce.

Pandas Data Cleaning and Modeling with Python LiveLessons

@machinelearnbot

In Pandas Data Cleaning and Modeling with Python LiveLessons, Daniel Y. Chen builds upon the foundation he built in Pandas Data Analysis with Python Fundamentals LiveLessons. In this LiveLesson Dan teaches you the techniques and skills you need to know to be able to clean and process your data. Dan shows you how to do data munging using some of the built-in Python libraries that can be used to clean data loaded into Pandas. Once your data is clean you are going to want to analyze it, so next Dan introduces you to other libraries that are used for model fitting. Daniel Y. Chen is a graduate student in the interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Genetics, Bioinformatics & Computational Biology (GBCB) at Virginia Tech.
