Google I/O: Google Plans To Embed DeepMind's Machine Learning Software Into Android

Forbes - Tech

LONDON, ENGLAND - DECEMBER 05: Co-founder of Google DeepMind Mustafa Suleyman attends a Q&A during day 1 of TechCrunch Disrupt London at the Copper Box on December 5, 2016 in London, England. Google has found another use for DeepMind's machine learning software after buying the London artificial intelligence lab for a reported ยฃ400 million in 2014. Later this year, the search giant will roll out two new DeepMind-built Android features that are designed to improve battery life and optimise screen brightness levels. The features will be available to people with devices running the Android P operating system. The features -- announced during the Google I/O developer conference -- were built by a unit called "DeepMind for Google," which focuses on applying DeepMind's technology to Google products.


Carnegie Mellon University starts first AI degree program in U.S.

#artificialintelligence

Carnegie Mellon University today announced it will offer an undergraduate degree in artificial intelligence. The college claims the degree will be the first of its kind in the United States. The first courses for the Bachelor of Science degree will be offered this fall. Based in Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University is a storied institution in AI circles, a central figure in the development of autonomous vehicles today and historically led by figures like Herbert Simon and Alan Newell, creators of some of the earliest forms of AI. A study by U.S. News and World Report released in March declared Carnegie Mellon the best computer science college in the U.S. for artificial intelligence, followed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Stanford University, and the University of California, Berkeley.

Learn Python in a Day Udemy

@machinelearnbot

Have you ever imagined yourself being able to "communicate" with your computer and build applications that can work in a way that you want? Have you ever imagined telling your friends that you know how to code? Programming is one of the very important skills that people value a lot in this era. Not only it can help you get a well-paid software engineer job, but it can also train your brain to think in a logically manner. We are sure you agree with that but you are not sure where and how to start.


Get started using Scala with HDInsight Udemy

@machinelearnbot

We will learn more about Scala.Scala is a general purpose programming language designed to express common programming patterns in a concise, elegant, and type-safe way. Scala smoothly integrates features of object-oriented and functional languages, enabling developers to be more productive while retaining full interoperability with Java and taking advantage of modern multicore hardware. Scala makes it easy to avoid shared state, so that computation can be readily distributed across cores on a multicore server, and across servers in a datacenter. This makes Scala an especially good match for modern multicore CPUs and distributed cloud-computing workloads that require concurrency and parallelism.Thanks to its type inference and other features, Scala is a succinct language, typically enabling developers to reduce the size of source code by at least a factor of 2 or 3 compared to Java. Scala is bundled with a rich set of developer tools, resulting in productivity comparable to languages like Ruby or Python, while retaining the performance advantages of Java.

Carnegie Mellon offers new artificial intelligence major

#artificialintelligence

Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh will offer the nation's first undergraduate degree program in artificial intelligence. Officials with the school announced Thursday the new major will be available to students enrolled in the School of Computer Science starting in the fall. Many American universities offer an artificial intelligence track within degree programs like Computer Science and Computer Engineering. But Carnegie Mellon is the first school to offer a distinct undergraduate major in artificial intelligence. The university was a pioneer in artificial intelligence research, writing some of the first AI programs in the 1950s, and has remained among the top schools to study the field.


Microsoft previews FPGA-based machine learning service for Azure

#artificialintelligence

Microsoft is set to capitalize on its work on integrating field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) into servers for machine learning workloads, by launching a specialized Azure cloud service. Project Brainwave will be offered in preview, with a limited set of capabilities and allocations, and will only be available in the East US 2 region to begin with. The company also plans to offer Brainwave servers as on-premises edge deployments. "I think this is a first step in making the FPGAs more of a general-purpose platform for customers," Mark Russinovich, chief technical officer for Azure, said at Microsoft Build conference. Brainwave uses Intel's Stratix 10 FPGAs, and builds upon Microsoft's previous work with these chips.

AI Programming with Python Nanodegree Program: What You'll Learn

@machinelearnbot

You'll discover why Python is unique, and come to understand the data types and operators it handles. You'll learn to use its built-in functions, and write your own functions to encapsulate a series of commands. At the end of your lesson, you'll encounter a lab where you'll learn how to use a pre-trained image classifier to write a script that identifies dog breeds.
