Expert reveals four simple steps to improve your maths

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Many people find mathematics daunting. If true, this piece is for you. If not, this piece is still for you. What do you think of when you think about mathematics? Perhaps you think about x's and y's, intractable fractions, or nonsensical word problems.


Videos for Business Analytics using Data Mining course

#artificialintelligence

Five years ago, in 2012, I decided to experiment in improving my teaching by creating a flipped classroom (and semi-MOOC) for my course "Business Analytics Using Data Mining" (BADM) at the Indian School of Business. I initially designed the course at University of Maryland's Smith School of Business in 2005 and taught it until 2010. When I joined ISB in 2011 I started teaching multiple sections of BADM (which was started by Ravi Bapna in 2006), and the course was fast growing in popularity. Repeating the same lectures in multiple course sections made me realize it was time for scale! I therefore created 30 videos, covering various supervised methods (k-NN, linear and logistic regression, trees, naive Bayes, etc.) and unsupervised methods (principal components analysis, clustering, association rules), as well as important principles such as performance evaluation, the notion of a holdout set, and more.


How VR, AR, & AI Can Change Education Forever – Part 2, Tomorrow's Solutions

The Daily Roundup is our comprehensive coverage of the VR industry wrapped up into one daily email, delivered directly to your inbox. Today's educational system is static, generalized and puts less focus on individual self-development than it perhaps should. To make matters worse, students often don't understand why they are learning the things that they're learning, which makes certain classes feel arbitrary and purposeless in the face of their personal ambitions.

In the future, warehouse robots will learn on their own

#artificialintelligence

The robot was perched over a bin filled with random objects, from a box of instant oatmeal to a small toy shark. This two-armed automaton did not recognize any of this stuff, but that did not matter. It reached into the pile and started picking things up, one after another after another. "It figures out the best way to grab each object, right from the middle of the clutter," said Jeff Mahler, one of the researchers developing the robot inside a lab at UC Berkeley. For humans, that is an easy task.


How AI is Revolutionizing Personalized Learning in the Workplace (Wednesday September 27, 2017 1:00PM EDT) from @futureworkplace on @Webvent - Future Workplace Webinars

#artificialintelligence

We are drowning in content. Information in more readily available than ever before, but it has become overwhelming. How can employees find the content they need to be more productive and advance? In this webinar, we will discuss how artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been developed to solve the problem of content discovery by sifting through vast quantities of materials to make available the right information at the right time for the individual's needs.


What is Artificial Intelligence ?

#artificialintelligence

What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the study of computer science focusing on developing software or machines that exhibit human intelligence. "AI is a broad topic ranging from simple calculators to self-steering technology to something that might radically change the future." Predictive systems– These AI are made to look at statistical data and form valuable conclusions. . Editing Software's– Here AIs suggest the ways that can be used to make pictures and texts more attractive. .



Robots could replace teachers in 10 years says academic

Daily Mail - Science & tech

The teachers who inspire our children will soon be machines and not humans, according to a leading university vice chancellor. Within 10 years a technological revolution will sweep aside old notions of education and change the world forever, Sir Anthony Seldon says. The vice chancellor of the University of Buckingham believes school teachers will lose their traditional role and effectively one day be little more than classroom assistants. He says they will remain on hand to set up equipment, help children when necessary and maintain discipline. But the essential job of instilling knowledge into young minds will be completely done by artificially intelligent (AI) computers.


CLWB wants to demystify Artificial Intelligence with its educational event -

#artificialintelligence

To the inexperienced, hearing the words Artificial Intelligence (or AI) can make our ears turn off. It's hard to resist the urge – AI is a whole new language to most of us, one that has a stigma for being a real challenge to learn. CLWB.org has decided to help change this. Their upcoming event, Artificial Intelligence Demystified, aims to teach you the basics at the Engine Shed on 26 October. We caught up with Mike Lloyd, the Founder of CLWB, to find out more: "The objective of the event is to enable non-expert people to get on the front foot in terms of AI." Being able to manipulate the benefits AI presents is an invaluable skill and CLWB thinks its course could be the breakthrough point for you.

Within 10 years a technological revolution will sweep aside old notions of education and change the world forever, Sir Anthony Sheldon, master of Wellington College believes. Sir Anthony, a historian and political commentator who has written biographies of ex-prime ministers David Cameron, Tony Blair, John Major and Gordon Brown, said: "It certainly will change human life as we know it. They will listen to the voices of the learners, read their faces and study them in the way gifted teachers study their students. "We're looking at screens which are listening to the voice of the student and reading the face of the student.
