Top Machine Learning Online Courses to Learn

#artificialintelligence

Top Machine Learning Online Courses to Learn – Machine Learning is an application of artificial intelligence that automates analytical model building. In other words, it provides systems the ability to learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed automatically. The basic motive of Machine Learning is to build algorithms that can receive input data and use statistical analysis to predict an output value within an acceptable range. Supervised and unsupervised are two types of algorithms in Machine Learning. Machine Learning A-Z: Hands-On Python & R In Data Science (view) – In this course, you will learn to how to create Machine Learning Algorithms in Python and R from two Data Science experts including code templates.



Training for the Artificially-Intelligent Future

#artificialintelligence

With many hot technology trends vying for attention, artificial intelligence and big data have emerged as two areas that seem certain to significantly impact how enterprises use tech. Currently, it seems like any company worth its salt is figuring out ways to leverage data science, machine learning and neural nets. And many have even started implementing this tech in the real world. It is ironic that, when implementing tech focused on autonomous computing, the human factor can be the big challenge. Specifically, enterprises often struggle with gaining the expertise needed to make use of such complex and fast-evolving new technologies. While hiring staff or acquiring start-ups with existing expertise are tempting options, they are not always practical or even possible.


Top R language resources to improve your data skills

@machinelearnbot

Do you want to improve your R skills? Here are my favorite R language resources for users at any level. If you're just starting out with R, I (not surprisingly) recommend my Computerworld Beginner's Guide to R. It's also available as a handy Beginner's R Guide PDF download. To build on those beginner skills, R for Data Science gives readers a firm grounding in basic aspects of data analysis, from import and cleaning to visualizing and modeling. Wickham is well known for his suite of R packages dubbed the "tidyverse," and this book is designed for those who want to use tidyverse packages such as dplyr and purrr.


Video Friday: Cassie on Fire, Disney's Soft Robot Hand, and Car Humanoid

IEEE Spectrum Robotics

Video Friday is your weekly selection of awesome robotics videos, collected by your Automaton bloggers. We'll also be posting a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics events for the next few months; here's what we have so far (send us your events!): Let us know if you have suggestions for next week, and enjoy today's videos. If you've ever wondered why Cassie continually takes steps like she's walking across something hot, this video will make sense to you: I hope that cost isn't all in the feet, because those might be slightly more compliant than they were before. If you need some hot foot relief, here's a video of MARLO walking uphill in the snow, just like I used to on my way to and from school.



Getting Started with Machine Learning for Developers

@machinelearnbot

Most of us have heard about the term Machine Learning, but surprisingly the question frequently asked by developers across the Globe is, "How do I get started in Machine Learning?" One reason could be the vastness of the subject area because people often get overwhelmed by the abstractness of ML and terms such as regression, supervised learning, probability density function, and so on. This systematic guide will teach you various Machine Learning techniques. You start with the very basics of data and mathematical models in easy-to-follow language that you are familiar with; you will feel at home while implementing the examples. The course introduces you to various libraries and frameworks used in the world of Machine Learning, and then, without wasting any time, you will get to the point and implement regression, clustering, classification, and more, all with fun examples.


Universities offer quick-hit studies in AI, machine learning

#artificialintelligence

Organizations are desperate to use advanced technologies to help them gain competitive advantage, get closer to customers and boost the bottom line. In response, colleges and universities are rapidly expanding their course offerings in such topics as artificial intelligence, advanced analytics and machine learning. A prime example is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which has announced seven new courses added to its 2018 Short Programs, covering emerging fields and technologies including AI, machine learning, automation, computational design and more. To get a better idea of what is being taught in these programs, Information Management spoke with Lily Fu, director of open enrollment programs at MIT, and Justin Solomon, assistant professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT. Information Management: What are the "short programs," and how do these new classes relate to what the Institute was already offering in these subject areas? Lily Fu: Short Programs are offered through MIT Professional Education.


The 2017 TechCrunch Include Progress Report

#artificialintelligence

This is the second annual TechCrunch Include Progress Report. Covering diversity and inclusion in the tech industry cannot be done in a vacuum. As aspects of identity are intersectional, so too should be the way in which media approaches its coverage of the tech industry. As a media company, it is our job to report these stories through a diversity and inclusion lens. You can track our coverage here.


Regularization in deep learning – Chatbots Life

#artificialintelligence

Part of the magic sauce for making the deep learning models work in production is regularization. For this blog post I'll use definition from Ian Goodfellow's book: regularization is "any modification we make to the learning algorithm that is intended to reduce the generalization error, but not its training error". For better theoretical understanding, I'd recommend checking out the chapter of the deep learning book dedicated to regularization. Generalization in machine learning refers to how well the concepts learned by the model apply to examples which were not seen during training. The goal of most machine learning models is to generalize well from the training data, in order to make good predictions in the future for unseen data. Overfitting happens when the models learns too well the details and the noise from training data, but it doesn't generalize well, so the performance is poor for testing data.
