Algorithmic Thinking (Part 2) Coursera
About this course: Experienced Computer Scientists analyze and solve computational problems at a level of abstraction that is beyond that of any particular programming language. This two-part class is designed to train students in the mathematical concepts and process of "Algorithmic Thinking", allowing them to build simpler, more efficient solutions to computational problems. In part 2 of this course, we will study advanced algorithmic techniques such as divide-and-conquer and dynamic programming. As the central part of the course, students will implement several algorithms in Python that incorporate these techniques and then use these algorithms to analyze two large real-world data sets. The main focus of these tasks is to understand interaction between the algorithms and the structure of the data sets being analyzed by these algorithms.
IoT success starts with Business Strategy.
One of the most consistent problems surfacing in our discussions about IoT is the actual scope of "what exactly is IoT and what and who does it involve". To technical people, IoT is what they perceive it to be from their active role. It might be a cloud offering, some sensor data, a connectivity solution, a robotics solution or Artificial Intelligence application. They would all be correct but they lack the appropriate context in which to provide valid inputs. To business people, their interpretation may be "it's a security nightmare" or a "huge opportunity".
Key Takeaways from AI Conference in San Francisco 2017 โ Day 2
Last week, experts from the AI world came together for the Artificial Intelligence Conference at San Francisco to discuss insights, opportunities, challenges and trends related to the rapidly expanding field of AI. The conference included hands-on trainings, tutorials, startup showcase (which was won by PipelineAI), keynotes, sessions, expo, and social events. Here is my report on Key Takeaways from AI Conference in San Francisco 2017 โ Day 1. Michael Jordan, Distinguished Professor, UC Berkeley gave his keynote on "How to escape saddle points efficiently". We are in a great time with regards to AI and Machine Learning, due to immense interest and the pace of technological advances. However, the theories and our understanding is lagging to keep up with the challenges.
Artificial Intelligence: A disruption in the education industry?
In recent years, #Artificial Intelligence (AI) and virtual reality have become powerful tools in the evolution of the world's education sector. As these new technologies are gradually and boldly being incorporated in classrooms, education is turning into a more modernized industry but latest reports also claimed that AI is disrupting the learning market. Modern technology has long been a valuable influence in the lives of humans. And its pervasiveness spawned a powerful tool that will play a significant role in the evolution of education made through the combination of AI and education technology (EdTech). AI-powered EdTech platforms and applications such as E-learning are increasingly becoming popular in the United States.
Design and Intelligent Machines
Regli, William C. (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency)
Many are interested in the design of intelligent machines. The fact is, despite enormous individual engineering lack design tools able to operate on such complex advances in recent years, we remain woefully planes. If which is that machines can be designed to work in anything, we should be not afraid of what we are partnership with people to extend and augment designing but rather accelerating our efforts in the human cognitive capabilities (Licklider 1960). We domain of design -- in part to design machines that have created impressive systems that can enhance can, in turn, help us become better designers. In his seminal work, The Sciences of the Of course, we have computer-aided design tools.

Solving Mathematical Puzzles: A Challenging Competition for AI
Chesani, Federico (University of Bologna) | Mello, Paola (University of Bologna) | Milano, Michela (University of Bologna)
Recently, a number of noteworthy results have been achieved in various fields of artificial intelligence, and many aspects of the problem solving process have received significant attention by the scientific community. In this context, the extraction of comprehensive knowledge suitable for problem solving and reasoning, from textual and pictorial problem descriptions, has been less investigated, but recognized as essential for autonomous thinking in Artificial Intelligence. In this work we present a challenge where methods and tools for deep understanding are strongly needed for enabling problem solving: we propose to solve mathematical puzzles by means of computers, starting from text and diagrams describing them, without any human intervention. We are aware that the proposed challenge is hard and of difficult solution nowadays (and in the foreseeable future), but even studying and solving only single parts of the proposed challenge would represent an important step forward for artificial intelligence.

Certifiable Trust in Autonomous Systems: Making the Intractable Tangible
Lyons, Joseph B. (Air Force Research Laboratory) | Clark, Matthew A. (Air Force Research Laboratory) | Wagner, Alan R. (SRA International) | Schuelke, Matthew J.
This article discusses verification and validation (V&V) of autonomous systems, a concept that will prove to be difficult for systems that were designed to execute decision initiative. V&V of such systems should include evaluations of the trustworthiness of the system based on transparency inputs and scenario-based training. Transparency facets should be used to establish shared awareness and shared intent between the designer, tester, and user of the system. The transparency facets will allow the human to understand the goals, social intent, contextual awareness, task limitations, analytical underpinnings, and team-based orientation of the system in an attempt to verify its trustworthiness. Scenario-based training can then be used to validate that programming in a variety of situations that test the behavioral repertoire of the system. This novel method should be used to analyze behavioral adherence to a set of governing principles coded into the system.
