Transfer Learning using differential learning rates

@machinelearnbot

In this post, I will be sharing how one can use popular deep learning models for their own specific task using transfer learning. We will cover some concepts like differential learning rates which are not even currently in implementation in some of the deep learning libraries. I have learned about these from the fast.ai This course content will be available to the general public early 2018 as a MOOC. It is the process of using the knowledge learned in one process/activity and applying it to a different task. Let us take a small example, a player who is good at carroms can apply that knowledge in learning how to play a game of pool.


Practical Data Analysis and Visualization with Python

#artificialintelligence

The main objective of this course is to make you feel comfortable analyzing, visualizing data and building machine learning models in python to solve various problems. This course does not require you to know math or statistics in anyway, as you will learn the logic behind every single model on an intuition level. Yawning students is not even in the list of last objectives. Throughout the course you will gain all the necessary tools and knowledge to build proper forecast models. And proper models can be accomplished only if you normalize data.


Mathematics for Machine Learning Udemy

#artificialintelligence

If you're looking to gain a solid foundation in Machine Learning to further your career goals, in a way that allows you to study on your own schedule at a fraction of the cost it would take at a traditional university, this online course is for you. If you're a working professional needing a refresher on machine learning or a complete beginner who needs to learn Machine Learning for the first time, this online course is for you. Why you should take this online course: You need to refresh your knowledge of machine learning for your career to earn a higher salary. You need to learn machine learning because it is a required mathematical subject for your chosen career field such as data science or artificial intelligence. You intend to pursue a masters degree or PhD, and machine learning is a required or recommended subject.

Nittany AI Challenge offers $100,000 in funding to innovators Penn State University

#artificialintelligence

Penn State students, faculty and staff are invited to compete for $100,000 in funding during the Nittany AI Challenge. The challenge, sponsored by the Penn State EdTech Network, will give participating teams the opportunity to explore artificial intelligence in higher education to improve the student experience at Penn State, solve real-world problems at the University, and generate startup ideas. Brad Zdenek, innovation strategist for the Penn State EdTech Network, said the Nittany AI Challenge gives participants a chance to drive digital innovation and transform education at Penn State. "For faculty and staff, this means addressing everyday challenges -- while trying to provide the best possible experience for our students," Zdenek said. "For both graduate and undergraduate students, the challenge provides opportunities to apply knowledge in practical ways -- while receiving mentorship from individuals in leading edtech and AI companies. The ultimate goals are to test ways to improve the student experience at Penn State, instigate new research, spawn new business ideas, and open doors to jobs and internships for students."

#artificialintelligence

From the time of our very first deep learning course at the USF Data Institute (which was recorded and formed the basis of our MOOC), we have allowed selected students that could not participate in person to attend via video and text chat through our International Fellowship. We want to get deep learning into the hands of as many people as possible, from as many diverse backgrounds as possible. People with different backgrounds have different problems they're interested in solving. We have seen and experienced some of the obstacles facing outsiders: inequality, discrimination, and lack of access. We've also observed that the field of artificial intelligence is missing out because of its lack of diversity.


Linear Regression for Business Statistics Coursera

@machinelearnbot

About this course: Regression Analysis is perhaps the single most important Business Statistics tool used in the industry. Regression is the engine behind a multitude of data analytics applications used for many forms of forecasting and prediction. This is the fourth course in the specialization, "Business Statistics and Analysis". The course introduces you to the very important tool known as Linear Regression. You will learn to apply various procedures such as dummy variable regressions, transforming variables, and interaction effects.


How to Hack an Intelligent Machine

#artificialintelligence

This week Microsoft and Alibaba stoked new fears that robots will soon take our jobs. The two companies independently revealed that their artificial intelligence systems beat humans at a test of reading comprehension. The test, known as the Stanford Question Answering Dataset (SQuAD), was designed to train AI to answer questions about a set of Wikipedia articles. Like the image-recognition software already deployed in commercial photo apps, these systems lend the impression that machines have become increasingly capable of replicating human cognition: identifying images or sounds, and now speed reading text passages and spewing back answers with human-level accuracy. Machine smarts, though, are not always what they seem.


The promise and pitfalls of artificial intelligence for global development

#artificialintelligence

This week, as leaders gather in Davos, Switzerland, to discuss how to "create a shared future in a fractured world," many of the conversations will center on the role of humans and robots in a future of automation or augmentation. The teaser for a breakfast conversation that Microsoft is hosting on the promise and pitfalls of artificial intelligence captures the challenges and the opportunity well: "AI offers profound potential benefits and the opportunity to help tackle some of the world's most pressing issues including accelerating economic growth, tackling the urgent issues of environmental sustainability, and transforming healthcare," it reads. "But the accelerating pace of technology-driven change is also creating disruption and anxiety. It risks contributing to a sense of a fractured world, between a small group of people who benefit and a broader group of people who fear that they are being left behind. We need to come together to chart a path forward that ensures AI contributes to building a positive shared future for every community."


Statistics with R - Intermediate Level Udemy

@machinelearnbot

If you want to learn how to perform the most useful statistical analyses in the R program, you have come to the right place. Now you don't have to scour the web endlessly in order to find how to do a Pearson or Spearman correlation, an independent t test or a factorial ANOVA, how to perform a sequential regression analysis or how to compute the Cronbach's alpha. Everything is here, in this course, explained visually, step by step. So, what will you learn in this course? First of all, you will learn how to perform association tests in R, both parametric and non-parametric: the Pearson correlation, the Spearman and Kendall correlation, the partial correlation and the chi-square test for independence.
