Teachable Machine
This experiment lets anyone explore how machine learning works, in a fun, hands-on way. You can teach a machine to using your camera, live in the browser – no coding required. Here are some links to things people have done so far: Make your hand say moo. And stay tuned, we'll add more examples here soon. Use the record button and share it on social media with #teachablemachine so we can check it out.)
Colleges Are Marketing Drone Pilot Courses, but the Career Opportunities are Murky
Hot-air balloon pilot Richard Varney typically spends his weekends transporting tourists around central Massachusetts in a huge, multicolored balloon. But on a recent Sunday, Varney drove to a local community college and learned to fly a different type of aerial vehicle. "I want to try something new," he said as he watched an instructor demonstrate how to steer a $2,000 drone equipped with a camera. "This could help me launch a side business taking aerial photos of local towns." At least 15 community colleges across the country now have courses that teach people how to pilot drones, according to research conducted by MIT Technology Review.
Google's AI is no smarter than a first grader, study says
Google's AlphaGo defeated Chinese Go player Ke Jie (left) this year to become the world champion. Google's AlphaGo may have unseated Ke Jie as the Go world champion this year, but the artificial intelligence behind AlphaGo is actually no smarter than a 6-year-old child. A study published Saturday showed Google's artificial intelligence technology scored best out of 50 systems that Chinese researchers tested against an AI scale they created, CNBC reported Monday. With a IQ score of 47.28, Google's AI was almost twice as smart as Apple virtual assistant Siri, which scored 23.94. AI systems have developed so quickly that they've been able to act as assistants, take exams and even outperform us at strategy games.
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 – 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 – 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.
