Where have you seen Machine Learning in your everyday life?
AI autopilots in commercial airlines is a surprisingly early use of AI technology that dates as far back as 1914, depending on how loosely you define autopilot. The New York Times reports that the average flight of a Boeing plane involves only seven minutes of human-steered flight, which is typically reserved only for takeoff and landing. Many high school and college students are familiar with services like Turnitin, a popular tool used by instructors to analyze students' writing for plagiarism. While Turnitin doesn't reveal precisely how it detects plagiarism, research demonstrates how ML can be used to develop a plagiarism detector. Historically, plagiarism detection for regular text (essays, books, etc.) relies on a having a massive database of reference materials to compare to the student text; however, ML can help detect the plagiarizing of sources that are not located within the database, such as sources in foreign languages or older sources that have not been digitized.
Learning Path: TensorFlow: Machine & Deep Learning Solutions
Google's brainchild TensorFlow, in its first year, has more than 6000 open source repositories online. TensorFlow, an open source software library, is extensively used for numerical computation using data flow graphs.The flexible architecture allows you to deploy computation to one or more CPUs or GPUs in a desktop, server, or mobile device with a single API. So if you're looking forward to acquiring knowledge on machine learning and deep learning with this powerful TensorFlow library, then go for this Learning Path. Packt's Video Learning Paths are 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. Let's take a look at your learning journey. You will start by exploring unique features of the library such as data flow graphs, training, visualization of performance with TensorBoard – all within an example-rich context using problems from multiple industries.
Artificial Intelligence roadshow: Techies prepare for new era
Artificial intelligence (AI) is all the rage these days. Recently, the American tech major Nvidia brought together the best minds in research, academia and industry across Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai, Pune, Delhi and Bengaluru. The six-city developer roadshow saw over 5,000 attendees who experienced some of the best demonstrations of AI and deep learning tools, designed to meet the challenges big data presents. "The artificial intelligence revolution is here and developers who understand AI and its application in commercial applications are in demand today," said Vishal Dhupar, managing director, Nvidia – South Asia. "The first edition of Developer Connect 2017 demonstrated the passion and desire for learning within our community of highly qualified developers and it is our responsibility at Nvidia to equip our Indian tech talent to take a leading role in the AI revolution and we stay committed to this task," he added.

The Big IDEA and the PD Pipeline
In 2015, when considering whether to apply for the position of executive director for the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA), I read the book Stuck in the Shallow End by Jane Margolis (http://bit.ly/2zcEZeP). Computer science (CS) remains one of the least diverse of the STEM disciplines, and Margolis' book opened with a compelling comparison between the racial divide in swimming and the divide we see today in CS. Understanding that teachers are critical to access, and how we teach can influence what field students might pursue, I saw that within CSTA there was opportunity to make a positive difference in the world. Fast-forward to 2017, and thanks to Stephen Ibaraki, I had the opportunity to participate in the AI for Good Summit held in Geneva, Switzerland (http://bit.ly/2h494Xi). The Summit crystalized for me the scope, magnitude, and importance of an organization like CSTA to change the world.
Analogy and Relational Representations in the Companion Cognitive Architecture
Forbus, Kenneth D. (Northwestern University) | Hinrich, Thomas (Northwestern University)
This includes the physical world, where qualitative representations have a long track record of providing human-level reasoning and performance (Forbus 2014), but also in social reasoning (for example, degrees of blame [Tomai and Forbus 2007]). Qualitative representations carve up continuous phenomena into symbolic descriptions that serve as a bridge between perception and cognition, facilitate everyday reasoning and communication, and help ground expert reasoning. We close with some lessons (Forbus, Klenk, and Hinrichs 2009) is on higher-order learned and open problems. In Newell's (1990) timescale proposed that analogy involves the construction of decomposition of cognitive phenomena, conceptual mappings between two structured, relational representations. Thus to the other, based on the correspondences), and a we approximate subsystems whose operations occur score indicating the overall quality of the match. For which one is trying to reason about, and hence inferences example, in Companions constraint checking and are made from base to target by default.

It is also important to remember that having a very sharp distinction of AI A rise in real-world applications of AI has stimulated for social good research is not always feasible, and significant interest from the public, media, and policy often unnecessary. While there has been significant makers. Along with this increasing attention has progress, there still exist many major challenges facing come a media-fueled concern about purported negative the design of effective AIbased approaches to deal consequences of AI, which often overlooks the with the difficulties in real-world domains. One of the societal benefits that AI is delivering and can deliver challenges is interpretability since most algorithms for in the near future. To address these concerns, the AI for social good problems need to be used by human symposium on Artificial Intelligence for the Social end users. Second, the lack of access to valuable data Good (AISOC-17) highlighted the benefits that AI can that could be crucial to the development of appropriate bring to society right now. It brought together AI algorithms is yet another challenge. Third, the researchers and researchers, practitioners, experts, data that we get from the real world is often noisy and and policy makers from a wide variety of domains.
The 2016 Computational Analogy Workshop at ICCBR
Blass, Joseph (Northwestern University) | Fitzgerald, Tesca (Georgia Institute of Technology)
Computational analogy and case-based reasoning (CBR) are closely related research areas. Both employ prior cases to reason in complex situations with incomplete information. Analogy research often focuses on modeling human cognitive processes, the structural alignment between a base/source and target, and adaptation/abstraction of the analogical source content. While CBR research also deals with alignment and adaptation, the field tends to focus more on retrieval, case-base maintenance, and pragmatic solutions to real-world problems. However, despite their obvious overlap in research goals and approaches, cross communication and collaboration between these areas has been progressively diminishing. CBR and computational analogy researchers stand to benefit greatly from increased exposure to each other's work and greater cross-pollination of ideas. The objective of this workshop is to promote such communication by bringing together researchers from the two areas, to foster new collaborative endeavors, to stimulate new ideas and avoid reinventing old ones.
Text mining with R Udemy
Have you always wanted to mine twitter data? Then this course is for you. This course presents example of text mining with R. Twitter text of @pycon and @udemy is used as the data to analyze. It starts by extracting text from Twitter. The extracted text is then transformed to a corpus and then a document-term matrix.
2 Billion Jobs to Disappear by 2030
Yesterday I was honored to be one of the featured speakers at the TEDxReset Conference in Istanbul, Turkey where I predicted that over 2 billion jobs will disappear by 2030. Since my 18-minute talk was about the rapidly shifting nature of colleges and higher education, I didn't have time to explain how and why so many jobs would be going away. Because of all of the questions I received afterwards, I will do that here. If you haven't been to a TEDx event, it is hard to confer the life-changing nature of something like this. Ali Ustundag and his team pulled off a wonderful event.
