Ultimate Neural Nets and Deep Learning Masterclass in Python

@machinelearnbot

My course does exactly what the title describes in a simple, relatable way. I help you to grasp the complete start to end concepts of fundamental deep learning. On your own it can be quite confusing, difficult and frustrating. I've been through the process myself, and with the help of lifelong ... I want to share this with my fellow beginners, developers, AI aspirers, with you. I will give you straightforward examples, instructions, advice, insights and resources for you to take simple steps to create your own neural networks from scratch.


Training Shallow and Thin Networks for Acceleration via Knowledge Distillation with Conditional Adversarial Networks

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

There is an increasing interest on accelerating neural networks for real-time applications. We study the student-teacher strategy, in which a small and fast student network is trained with the auxiliary information learned from a large and accurate teacher network. We propose to use conditional adversarial networks to learn the loss function to transfer knowledge from teacher to student. The proposed method is particularly effective for relatively small student networks. Moreover, experimental results show the effect of network size when the modern networks are used as student. We empirically study the trade-off between inference time and classification accuracy, and provide suggestions on choosing a proper student network.


New French Push for AI Research

#artificialintelligence

This new Chair, funded by Google France, aims to support the training of a new generation of talents in artificial intelligence in terms of training, research, and international outreach. The new Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Visual Computing Master's program of ร‰cole Polytechnique, offered in partnership with Inria, ENSTA ParisTech, and Tรฉlรฉcom ParisTech, will benefit from support as it welcomes its first class in September 2018. Google France will offer students opportunities in its research internship programs. AI awareness seminars in ethics and law, as well as roundtables and workshops, will also be conducted to allow students to succeed in the professional world and in scientific research in the field of AI. An invitation program for world-renowned professors will also be funded by the Chair to support these research activities and to enrich the academic offer of the Artificial Intelligence and the Advanced Visual Computing Master's program.


PhD Research Fellow in ICT (148934) University of Agder

#artificialintelligence

The University of Agder invites applications for a full-time fixed-term position for a period of three years as PhD Research Fellow. The position is linked to the Department of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and is located in Grimstad, Norway. The starting date is as soon as possible or by agreement. The Department of ICT hosts three research groups including nine Professors, 20 Associate Professors/Assistant professors and about 20 Research Fellows, pursuing a variety of research areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), wireless communications, network administration, and embedded systems. This open position is associated with Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research (CAIR) and targets development of a Chatbot based Personal Teaching Assistant (educator).


Will AI be a bane or boon for education?

#artificialintelligence

The advent of artificial intelligence could increase societal inequalities, or it could provide teachers with the tools to customize instruction for every individual student. The outcome comes down to how our society lays the groundwork for the rapid changes AI promises to deliver. Those are a few of the conclusions offered Thursday by a panel of experts at a Politico event titled "The Age of AI: The Future of Work, Workers and Education." As it currently operates, "education is intended to reproduce social norms," said Gerry McCartney, CIO of Purdue University. "To the extent that we can open up all [aspects] of education to all citizens through technology, we can move away from this factory model of education โ€ฆ which really only suits" entrenched interests.


French schools Learn to Love Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Terms like cognitive science, neuroscience and artificial intelligence have been gaining traction in French schools. Researchers and startups are working overtime to create new tools to improve teaching methods and career counseling. Additionally, President Emmanuel Macron recently announced that France's artificial intelligence strategy would focus on higher education and research. Many EdTech startups are already tackling A.I. but where do French schools stand? According to Audencia innovation director Valรฉrie Claude-Gaudillat, "A.I. remains very disconnected from our coursework and teaching methods. It's rarely discussed in the classroom and that is a problem."

Drone Owners Of Hong Kong Would Require A License To Fly

#artificialintelligence

The Hong Kong's Civil Aviation Authority (HKCAA) suggests that UAV users may need to register their drones with authorities, undertake training, pass tests and meet certain insurance requirements. As per the new rules, drone weighing over 9 ounces would need to be registered and the operators need to undertake short web-based training. But before making any changes, Hong Kong needs to go through a three month period of public consultation. The proposal will also include making certain parts of the island into no-fly zones. Still, there are number of countries that require proper registration and a license to fly.


Blizzard Is Trying To Teach Computers To Spot Overwatch Jerks

#artificialintelligence

Despite arriving too late to prevent what some might call a full-blown crisis, Overwatch's anti-toxicity efforts seem to be bearing fruit. The next step in the battle, says game director Jeff Kaplan, might be having computers, not humans, find the bad actors. "We've been experimenting with machine learning," Kaplan told me during an interview at Blizzard's offices yesterday. "We've been trying to teach our games what toxic language is, which is kinda fun. The thinking there is you don't have to wait for a report to determine that something's toxic. Our goal is to get it so you don't have to wait for a report to happen."


How Artificial Intelligence Helps Tech Students In The Learning Process

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence is yet to become a standard in schools, but it has the potential to transform the educational field. It's is a technology whose time has certainly come because it can already outperform humans in many ways. However, it can be very helpful for tech students. Meeting the needs of each student becomes a must in today's classroom. For example, a teacher should create personalized tasks to fit the learning style of students and ensure that they enjoy the same access to learning.
