How can Bayesian be boring?
Welcome to the next episode in my series of answering questions and provoking thought in Data Analytics and Machine learning. An intern at Optisol who is undergoing the Data Analytics boot camp that we are running mentioned that Bayesian statistics topic was very dry and boring at the Amity university online degree on Big Data that she is pursuing. No offense to the Amity people, but my response is if Bayesian seems boring, it has to be the instructor or the curriculum that should take the blame. Bayesian statistics is one of my favorite topics. Bayesian inference is easy to interpret even by folks with only little statistical background. It has gained a bigger following in recent years and has been used to make some neat predictions.
Data Analytics Foundations for Accountancy I Coursera
Often, as part of exploratory data analysis, a histogram is used to understand how data are distributed, and in fact this technique can be used to compute a probability mass function (or PMF) from a data set as was shown in an earlier module. However, the binning approach has issues, including a dependance on the number and width of the bins used to compute the histogram. One approach to overcome these issues is to fit a function to the binned data, which is known as parametric estimation. Alternatively, we can construct an approximation to the data by employing a non-parametric density estimation. The most commonly used non-parametric technique is kernel density estimation (or KDE).

15 Deep Learning Open Courses and Tutorials
Deep learning and deep reinforcement learning have recently been successfully applied in a wide range of real-world problems. Here are 15 online courses and tutorials in deep learning and deep reinforcement learning, and applications in natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and control systems. The courses cover the fundamentals of neural networks, convolutional neural networks, recurrent networks and variants, difficulties in training deep networks, unsupervised learning of representations, deep belief networks, deep Boltzmann machines, deep Q-learning, value function estimation and optimization, and Monte Carlo tree search. Deep Learning by Ian Goodfellow, Yoshua Bengio and Aaron Courville is a great open access textbook used by many of the courses, and Daivd Silver provides a good series of 10 video lectures in reinfrocement learning. For machine learning reviews, here are 15 online courses and tutorials for machine learning.
Researchers gather at Brown to discuss next-generation artificial intelligence
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] -- The past few years have witnessed a revolution in artificial intelligence. AI systems are beating humans on reading comprehension tests, clobbering board game champions and enabling cars to drive themselves. Even more mundane AI systems, like smartphone apps that recognize faces and personal assistants that understand verbal commands, were seemingly insurmountable challenges just a decades or so ago. These recent breakthroughs have been made possible in large part by a technology known as deep learning or deep neural networks -- algorithms that have become the unseen force behind modern AI. Every time a phone responds to "Hey Siri," or Google translates a sentence from Swedish to Swahili, deep neural networks are at play.
Active Learning of Strict Partial Orders: A Case Study on Concept Prerequisite Relations
Liang, Chen, Ye, Jianbo, Zhao, Han, Pursel, Bart, Giles, C. Lee
Strict partial order is a mathematical structure commonly seen in relational data. One obstacle to extracting such type of relations at scale is the lack of large-scale labels for building effective data-driven solutions. We develop an active learning framework for mining such relations subject to a strict order. Our approach incorporates relational reasoning not only in finding new unlabeled pairs whose labels can be deduced from an existing label set, but also in devising new query strategies that consider the relational structure of labels. Our experiments on concept prerequisite relations show our proposed framework can substantially improve the classification performance with the same query budget compared to other baseline approaches.
Algorithmic Problems & Neural Networks in Python
This course is about the fundamental concepts of algorithmic problems, focusing on backtracking and dynamic programming. As far as I am concerned these techniques are very important nowadays, algorithms can be used (and have several applications) in several fields from software engineering to investment banking or research&development. In each section we will talk about the theoretical background for all of these algorithms then we are going to implement these problems together. The first chapter is about backtracking: we will talk about problems such as N-queens problem or hamiltonian cycles and coloring problem. In the second chapter we will talk about dynamic programming, theory first then the concrete examples one by one: fibonacci sequence problem and knapsack problem.
