How to Get a Job in AI or Machine Learning

#artificialintelligence

Computer scientist Arthur Samuel is rumored to have said that machine learning is an aspect of his field that gives "computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed." That's why machine learning is also considered an element of artificial intelligence, or AI, which deals more generally with how computers can figure things out for themselves. Essentially, the idea is that, given a good set of starting rules and opportunities to interact with data and situations, computers can program themselves, or improve upon basic programs provided for them. In the mid-1980s, computer scientists hoped to reshape computing and the ability of computers to understand and interact with the world. There was a huge infusion of interest, enthusiasm and cash at that time, but AI did not change the world as we knew it then.


What is Azure Machine Learning?

#artificialintelligence

Azure Machine Learning is an integrated, end-to-end data science and advanced analytics solution. It enables data scientists to prepare data, develop experiments, and deploy models at cloud scale. Together, these applications and services help significantly accelerate your data science project development and deployment. Azure Machine Learning fully supports open source technologies. You can execute your experiments in managed environments such as Docker containers and Spark clusters.


Getting ready for the future of work

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence is poised to disrupt the workplace. What will the company of the future look like--and how will people keep up? Digital communications have made remote work commonplace. The gig economy is growing. According to the McKinsey Global Institute, at least 30 percent of the activities associated with the majority of occupations in the United States could be automated--including knowledge tasks previously thought immune.


Manipulating Word Representations, and Preparing Students for Coding Jobs?

Communications of the ACM

Recent research in natural language processing using the program word2vec gives manipulations of word representations that look a lot like semantics produced by vector math. For vector calculations to produce semantics would be remarkable, indeed. The word vectors are drawn from context, big, huge context. And, at least roughly, the meaning of a word is its use (in context). Is it possible some question is begged here?


Predictive Modeling and Analytics Coursera

@machinelearnbot

About this course: Welcome to the second course in the Data Analytics for Business specialization! This course will introduce you to some of the most widely used predictive modeling techniques and their core principles. By taking this course, you will form a solid foundation of predictive analytics, which refers to tools and techniques for building statistical or machine learning models to make predictions based on data. You will learn how to carry out exploratory data analysis to gain insights and prepare data for predictive modeling, an essential skill valued in the business. You'll also learn how to summarize and visualize datasets using plots so that you can present your results in a compelling and meaningful way.

Two New Courses are Now Available for Machine Learning and Deep Learning on AWS Amazon Web Services

#artificialintelligence

AWS Training and Certification helps you advance your knowledge with practical skills so you can get more out of the AWS Cloud. We now have two new courses to help you learn about how to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) solutions using AWS: Introduction to Machine Learning web-based training and Deep Learning on AWS instructor-led training. If you are looking to learn more about how you can put AI capabilities to use, we recommend that you start with the web-based training. Developers looking to learn more should then attend the one-day instructor-led training. Introduction to Machine Learning is a free 40 minute web-based training intended for developers, solutions architects, and IT decision makers who already know the foundations of working with AWS.


No, the gender gap in tech isn't set in stone

Los Angeles Times

It is often said that women are absent from the sciences. But this is not true. Although a gender gap remains in the sciences overall, the gap is closing. Women are now more likely than men to earn undergraduate degrees in biology, and they are almost as likely as men to earn undergraduate degrees in chemistry and math. There are, however, several scientific disciplines that women are still much less likely than men to choose to study: computer science, engineering and physics.


Glass-Box Program Synthesis: A Machine Learning Approach

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Recently proposed models which learn to write computer programs from data use either input/output examples or rich execution traces. Instead, we argue that a novel alternative is to use a glass-box loss function, given as a program itself that can be directly inspected. Glass-box optimization covers a wide range of problems, from computing the greatest common divisor of two integers, to learning-to-learn problems. In this paper, we present an intelligent search system which learns, given the partial program and the glass-box problem, the probabilities over the space of programs. We empirically demonstrate that our informed search procedure leads to significant improvements compared to brute-force program search, both in terms of accuracy and time. For our experiments we use rich context free grammars inspired by number theory, text processing, and algebra. Our results show that (i) performing 4 rounds of our framework typically solves about 70% of the target problems, (ii) our framework can improve itself even in domain agnostic scenarios, and (iii) it can solve problems that would be otherwise too slow to solve with brute-force search.


Practical Deep Learning with PyTorch - Udemy

@machinelearnbot

Although many courses are very mathematical or too practical in nature, this course strikes a careful balance between the two to provide a solid foundation in deep learning for you to explore further if you are interested in research in the field of deep learning and/or applied deep learning. It is purposefully made for anyone without a strong background in mathematics. And for those with a strong background, it would accelerate your learning in understanding the different models in deep learning. This entire course is delivered in a Python Notebook such that you can follow along the videos and replicate the results. You can practice and tweak the models until you truly understand every line of code as we go along.
