NYC Data Science Academy Launches Online Bootcamp -- Campus Technology

#artificialintelligence

NYC Data Science Academy, a provider of bootcamp-style data science and data engineering training in New York City, has launched a remote option for students who are not able to attend in-person classes. The Remote Intensive Bootcamp offers live-streamed lectures plus access to prerecorded modules and more than 1,000 practice questions. Students attend full-time, five days a week; the first cohort began this week and runs through June 29. Course discussions occur in real time, allowing students to communicate with professors, teaching assistants and peers. In addition, TAs are available via a Slack channel to answer questions from both on-campus and remote students.

What slime molds can teach us about thinking

Christian Science Monitor | Science

April 12, 2018 --Visit this online directory of the nearly 200 faculty members at Hampshire College and you'll find that, listed between a professor of communications and a visiting professor of video and film, is a petri dish of yellow schmutz. The schmutz is a plasmodial slime mold, Physarum polycephalum, a glob of living cells that exhibits decidedly non-schmutzlike behavior, such as solving mazes and anticipating periodic events โ€“ so much so that in 2017 Hampshire, a private liberal arts school in Amherst, Mass., awarded it a position of "visiting non-human scholar." The abilities of non-animals to remember events, recognize patterns, and solve problems are prompting scientists and philosophers to rethink what thinking is. In the 20th century, science demolished the notion that humans are the only animals to exhibit complex thinking; in the 21st, biologists are beginning to see cognition in other biological kingdoms โ€“ not just slime molds, but also plants. This shift in thought could not only help scientists better understand cognition's workings and its origins, but it could also help in the search for intelligence beyond Earth.


Learning Neural Networks with Tensorflow Udemy

@machinelearnbot

Neural Networks are used all around us: they index photos into categories, translate text, suggest replies for emails, and beat the best games. Many people are eager to apply this knowledge to their own data, but many fail to achieve the results they expect. In this course, we'll start by building a simple flower recognition program, making you feel comfortable with Tensorflow, and it will teach you several important concepts in Neural Networks. Next, you'll start working with high-dimensional uses to predict one output: 1275 molecular features you can use to predict the atomization energy of an atom. The next program we'll create is a handwritten number recognition system trained on the famous MNIST dataset.


Practical AI and Machine Learning in iOS, Core ML and Swift

@machinelearnbot

Machine Learning is everywhere these days. We live in a world where Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence is not obscure mathematical and science fiction anymore they have become crucial part of our lives. Netflix, Amazon, Siri, Pandora, Google, Prisma the list goes on and on and it's not just entertainment and media, It's even the post office to healthcare and traffic to security. Close analysis suggests that virtually every moment of our lives we are touched by Machine Learning at some point. With so much innovation going on in Machine Learning field and how it has improved the way of life who wouldn't wanna be part of it in this amazing time.


Deep learning & neural networks in pytorch for beginners

@machinelearnbot

Get your team access to Udemy's top 2,500 courses anytime, anywhere. You make a great decision to join. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the hottest topic currently out there - no doubt about that. Neural networks in particular have seen a lot of attention and they will be used everywhere -self driving cars, predictions in finance and sales forecasts - everywhere and across all industries. To be successful in the working world of tomorrow we have to expose ourselves to this interesting topic - and from my personal experience - coding your own neural network is the best way to understand how they work.


Future of Work AI vs. Lawyer: I rest my case

#artificialintelligence

A study conducted by legal AI platform LawGeex in consultation with law professors from Stanford University, Duke University School of Law, and the University of Southern California, pitted twenty experienced lawyers against an AI trained to evaluate legal contracts. Their 40 page report details how AI has overtaken top lawyers in accurately spotting risks in everyday business contracts. The human participants were made up of law firm associates, sole-practitioners, in-house lawyers and general counsel. The LawGeex AI was trained on NDA's using machine and deep learning technologies. To review five Non-disclosure agreements (NDA), a very common kind commercial document.


Information Retrieval and Mining Massive Data Sets

@machinelearnbot

The goal is to introduce various techniques required to build an IR System. In this course we will explore various methods to solve big data problem. We will evaluate alternative solutions and trade offs. In the later part of the course we will discuss various data mining algorithms to make sense of massive data sets.


New O'Reilly Survey Results Shed Light on Artificial Intelligence Skills Gap

#artificialintelligence

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--O'Reilly, the premier source for insight-driven learning on technology and business, today announced the results of its 2018 Artificial Intelligence (AI) survey, "How Companies Are Putting AI to Work Through Deep Learning." Focused on deep learning, a technique used primarily for supervised machine learning, the survey explores the adoption of tools and techniques to build AI applications and the barriers that hinder business adoption. Findings suggest that the democratization of AI and deep learning applications will continue, as development tools and libraries improve. However, the shortage of AI-trained engineers and developers will persist. For example, while 54% of respondents indicated AI will play a big role (35%) or essential role (19%) in their organization's future projects, lack of skilled people was the number one bottleneck reported.


Deep Learning: Advanced Computer Vision Udemy

@machinelearnbot

This is one of the most exciting courses I've done and it really shows how fast and how far deep learning has come over the years. When I first started my deep learning series, I didn't ever consider that I'd make two courses on convolutional neural networks. I think what you'll find is that, this course is so entirely different from the previous one, you will be impressed at just how much material we have to cover. We're going to bridge the gap between the basic CNN architecture you already know and love, to modern, novel architectures such as VGG, ResNet, and Inception (named after the movie which by the way, is also great!) We're going to apply these to images of blood cells, and create a system that is a better medical expert than either you or I. This brings up a fascinating idea: that the doctors of the future are not humans, but robots.
