Time Series Forecasting as Supervised Learning - Machine Learning Mastery

#artificialintelligence

Time series forecasting can be framed as a supervised learning problem. This re-framing of your time series data allows you access to the suite of standard linear and nonlinear machine learning algorithms on your problem. In this post, you will discover how you can re-frame your time series problem as a supervised learning problem for machine learning. Time Series Forecasting as Supervised Learning Photo by Jeroen Looyé, some rights reserved. The majority of practical machine learning uses supervised learning. Supervised learning is where you have input variables (X) and an output variable (y) and you use an algorithm to learn the mapping function from the input to the output.

Self-learning, machine learning, and AI are all buzzwords in the tech field today. They all represent the next generation in software development and management. In this brave new world, programmers will often set up the application -- and the software will do the rest. Driven by big data, deep learning systems, and consumer demand, you may be investing in self-learning programs sooner than you think. Self-learning, often referred to as machine learning, is a form of AI.

I'm IB Student (high school diploma) And I will be writing an extended essay on a topic that I will choose. I want to learn while I am writing the essay. So here is my question. What is the most important mathematical concept about machine learning or computer science?


DLD Special: CognitionX Tuesday Briefing - CognitionX

#artificialintelligence

Yesterday, during DLD Conference, Demis Hassabis, founder and CEO of DeepMind, discussed AlphaGo beating Go-champion with machine learning, and what the collaboration between humans and machines will be bringing in the future. He highlighted the importance of staying creative and follow our own intuitions when working with AI, forecasting 10 exciting years ahead of us. We also hosted our own panel on "Fixing Education for the A.I. age" where our panelists discussed the shifts in education that will push towards a computational knowledge economy. Conrad Wolfram introduced us to the need to teach students the skills to solve problems with the support of computers, instead of learning how to do specific things (particularly in maths) ourselves. Jurgen Schmidhuber instead observed how we are only thinking of short-term improvements in the education system, while we should be looking decades ahead.


Time Series Analysis: A Primer

#artificialintelligence

Many data sets are cross-sectional and represent a single slice of time. However, we also have data collected over many periods - weekly sales data, for instance. This is an example of time series data. Time series analysis is a specialized branch of statistics used extensively in fields such as Econometrics and Operations Research. Unfortunately, most Marketing Researchers and Data Scientists still have had little exposure to it.

Tech's Favorite School Faces Its Biggest Test: the Real World

WIRED

On lengths of yarn stretched between chairs, sixth-grade math students were placing small yellow squares of paper, making number lines--including everything from fractions to negative decimals--in a classroom at Walsh Middle School. Their teacher, Michele O'Connor, had assigned the number lines in previous years, but this year was different. She, personally, hadn't spent much time leading students through practice problems or introducing the basic math concepts they would use in the project. That had largely been relegated to online math lessons, part of separate periods of learning time when students were free to work through computer-based lessons in any subject they chose, at their own pace. The change at Walsh, located in Framingham, Massachusetts, is part of a nationwide pilot program, one that could indicate just how deeply and how quickly the personalized-learning trend will penetrate the average classroom. Indeed, despite the buzz around personalized learning, there's no simple recipe for success, and the common ingredients -- such as adaptive-learning technology and student control over learning -- can backfire if poorly implemented. A looming question is whether personalized learning that works in, say, a tight-knit, mission-driven charter school can be reliably translated into traditional district schools with many more students, less flexible schedules, keener standardized-test worries and cultures steeped in established ways of teaching and learning.


Attractive, slavish and at your command: Is AI sexist? - BBC News

#artificialintelligence

When Amazon first coined the strapline "Ask Alexa" for its virtual assistant, it couldn't have predicted the X-rated nature of some of the requests. "She" may boast an encyclopaedic knowledge, but research by consumer behaviour analysts Canvas8 reveals that some users are more interested in a virtual hook-up than fact finding. And she's not the only target: the equally smooth voice of Microsoft's Cortana is getting customers just as hot under the collar apparently. From perma-smiling avatars in traditionally female support roles, to hyper-sexualised "fembots" pandering to male fantasies, the female form is everywhere in techno-world - attractive, servile and at your command. A little more conservative, but just as eager to please, is virtual personal assistant Amy Ingram, the brainchild of New York start-up X.ai.
