Learning Path: Your Guide to Learn Data Science using Python

@machinelearnbot

Python is a popular programming language, widely used in many scenarios and easy to use to use. Data Science is an interdisciplinary field that employs techniques to extract knowledge from data. As one of the fast growing fields in technology, the interest for Data Science is booming, and the demand for specialized talent is on the rise. Packt's Video Learning Path is a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it. To start off with your learning journey, you can learn some of the fundamental tools of the trade and apply them to real data problems.


Mastering Data Analysis with R Udemy

@machinelearnbot

With its popularity as a statistical programming language rapidly increasing with each passing day, R is increasingly becoming the preferred tool of choice for data analysts and data scientists who want to make sense of large amounts of data as quickly as possible. R has a rich set of libraries that can be used for basic as well as advanced data analysis tasks. If you have a basic understanding of data analysis concepts and want to take your skills to the next level, this video is for you. Spanning over four hours, it contains carefully selected advanced data analysis concepts such as: cluster analysis; time-series analysis; Association mining; PCA (Principal Component Analysis); handling missing data; sentiment analysis; spatial data analysis with R and QGIS; advanced data visualization with R and ggplot2. Throughout the video, readers will use the various topics they've learned about to analyze real-world datasets from various industry sectors.


Active Bias: Training More Accurate Neural Networks by Emphasizing High Variance Samples

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Self-paced learning and hard example mining re-weight training instances to improve learning accuracy. This paper presents two improved alternatives based on lightweight estimates of sample uncertainty in stochastic gradient descent (SGD): the variance in predicted probability of the correct class across iterations of mini-batch SGD, and the proximity of the correct class probability to the decision threshold. Extensive experimental results on six datasets show that our methods reliably improve accuracy in various network architectures, including additional gains on top of other popular training techniques, such as residual learning, momentum, ADAM, batch normalization, dropout, and distillation.



The Visual Guide on How Neural Networks Learn from Data

@machinelearnbot

"excellently delivered step by step .. visually learning is very clear and easily understandable." You'll start the Neural Networks Primer with Fundamentals, Objectives, Data and more: You'll continue the NN Primer with Learning, Backpropagation and Predictions and more topics You'll start the in-Motion section with Inputs, Weights, Biases, Activations, Nodes and Feed-Forward Passes: You'll continue with the in-Motion section with NN Learning, Backpropagation, Tuning and Prediction: You'll finish the in-Motion section by doing a complete rundown on everyting you've learned so far: I will devote a section for more additional knowledge and resources for continous learning. And then, I will conclude with some Final Words. What are some of the Benefits? Lastly, you can post questions or doubts, and I'll answer to you personally.


[D] Can you help me choose a Deep Learning online course? Coursera Specialization VS Udacity Nanodegree โ€ข r/MachineLearning

@machinelearnbot

I haven't taken this specific Udacity course on deep learning. But, I have completed their Nanodegree for the self-driving cars that covered a decent amount of deep learning material. I won't be surprised if they borrow some of the contents from there as well. Udacity offers high quality lectures and related projects. Their content is usually ver well organized and they are constantly improving.

What is Machine Learning?

#artificialintelligence

This post has only covered supervised learning, which refers to algorithms that learn from examples where we have both the input and the desired output. This is often referred to as labelled data, because the input values are labelled with the expected output. While this is a popular and powerful technique, there are others that work differently.


Learn Text Mining using R Udemy

@machinelearnbot

As simple as it may sound, text mining involves deriving important, high quality information from text. What do we get from this high quality information? Pretty much anything; text categorization, sentiment analysis, document summarization to name a few. We've made sure you don't get lost in the programming and technical details by providing you with our pre-coded open-source software.


'More Than Things': Lifelike Sexbots Pose Moral, Legal Dilemmas - Specialist

#artificialintelligence

As the use of sex robots becomes increasingly common, specialists warn about the moral and ethical issues associated with this phenomenon, which need to be addressed. Kent Law School Professor Robin Mackenzie, who specializes in areas such as robotics and the ethical and legal relations between humans and robots, believes that the advent of increasingly lifelike "sexbots" calls for a change in the way people think about sex, morals and the legal status of these artificial concubines, The Express wrote. However, sentient, self-aware sex robots created to engage in emotional and sexual intimacy with humans fly in the face of this time-tested notion, she pointed out. She added that even though the sex robots look like humans and act as intimate sexual partners, they can't simply be categorized as either things or animals. That being said, recent technological advancements meant that sex robots can now have realistic, lifelike characteristics and functionality.
