@machinelearnbot

It explores main concepts from basic to expert level which can help you achieve better grades, develop your academic career, apply your knowledge at work or do your research as experienced investor. Learning pairs trading analysis is indispensable for finance careers in areas such as quantitative research, quantitative development, and quantitative trading mainly within investment banks and hedge funds. It is also essential for academic careers in quantitative finance. And it is necessary for experienced investors quantitative trading research and development. But as learning curve can become steep as complexity grows, this course helps by leading you step by step using MSCI Countries Indexes ETF prices historical data for back-testing to achieve greater effectiveness.


What Can We Learn From the Prolific Isaac Asimov?

#artificialintelligence

To learn is to broaden, to experience more, to snatch new aspects of life for yourself. To refuse to learn or to be relieved at not having to learn is to commit a form of suicide; in the long run, a more meaningful type of suicide than the mere ending of physical life. Knowledge is not only power; it is happiness, and being taught is the intellectual analog of being loved. Fans estimate that the erudite polymath Isaac Asimov authored nearly 500 full-length books during his life. Even if some that "don't count" are removed from the list -- anthologies he edited, short science books he wrote for young people and so on -- Asimov's output still reaches into the many hundreds of titles.


Facebook to Open Digital Training Hubs in Europe

U.S. News

The U.S. company - which has faced regulatory pressure in Europe over issues ranging from privacy to antitrust - said it would open three "community skills hubs" in Spain, Poland and Italy as well as investing 10 million euros ($12.2 million) in France through its artificial intelligence research facility.


Semi-Supervised Convolutional Neural Networks for Human Activity Recognition

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Labeled data used for training activity recognition classifiers are usually limited in terms of size and diversity. Thus, the learned model may not generalize well when used in real-world use cases. Semi-supervised learning augments labeled examples with unlabeled examples, often resulting in improved performance. However, the semi-supervised methods studied in the activity recognition literatures assume that feature engineering is already done. In this paper, we lift this assumption and present two semi-supervised methods based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to learn discriminative hidden features. Our semi-supervised CNNs learn from both labeled and unlabeled data while also performing feature learning on raw sensor data. In experiments on three real world datasets, we show that our CNNs outperform supervised methods and traditional semi-supervised learning methods by up to 18% in mean F1-score (Fm).


Convergence of Value Aggregation for Imitation Learning

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Value aggregation is a general framework for solving imitation learning problems. Based on the idea of data aggregation, it generates a policy sequence by iteratively interleaving policy optimization and evaluation in an online learning setting. While the existence of a good policy in the policy sequence can be guaranteed non-asymptotically, little is known about the convergence of the sequence or the performance of the last policy. In this paper, we debunk the common belief that value aggregation always produces a convergent policy sequence with improving performance. Moreover, we identify a critical stability condition for convergence and provide a tight non-asymptotic bound on the performance of the last policy. These new theoretical insights let us stabilize problems with regularization, which removes the inconvenient process of identifying the best policy in the policy sequence in stochastic problems.


How Will Machine Translators Change Language Learning?

#artificialintelligence

The code has been copied to your clipboard. Some machines can take something written in one language and give users the same or similar wording in another language. These machines are designed to do this kind of work quickly and without mistakes. Some of the devices are so small they can be carried around the world. The quality of translation software programs has greatly improved in recent years, thanks to new, fast-developing technologies.


Mission-Driven Artificial Intelligence and the Common Good

#artificialintelligence

Humanity is now developing our greatest contribution to the expansion of intelligence on the planet: the flowering of artificial intelligence. It would be a shame if all we used it for were Amazon shopping and Facebook birthday reminders. Universities, companies, nonprofits, and governmental agencies are already busy developing interesting tools and applications that direct machine learning toward the common good. Though still in their early days, these initiatives just may represent our best bet for addressing our most challenging ecological and societal problems. Welcome to the world of "Mission-Driven AI." Being mission-driven is not the same thing as having a mission statement.


The future looks bright if Generation AI can address cybersecurity

#artificialintelligence

The findings of the study are evolutionary, not revolutionary, as views towards artificial intelligence have become more refined over the years. These findings reflect the growing acceptance of robots in the classroom and elsewhere by children, millennial parents, and teachers. Robots were initially used in the classroom to help children with autism and have now been in classrooms as teaching assistants or tools for several years. A separate study by the IEEE found that teachers, "had numerous positive ideas about the robot's potential as a new educational tool for their classrooms." These robots, however, were not true artificial intelligence and required programming to perform specific educational tasks.
