DENSO to Advance Artificial Intelligence Knowledge, Signs Technical Advisory Contract with Carnegie Mellon University Professor Takeo Kanade

#artificialintelligence

Dr. Kanade and DENSO have worked together from 2002-2009 on a joint research of image recognition technology. In addition, he has been a lecturer of DENSO's high talent program organized by DENSO E&TS Training Center. DENSO expects to use artificial intelligence technology in more areas of its business. Currently, it uses machine learning in its sensing technologies and applies them to its sensing products. DENSO has developed technologies and products to help create a society free from road traffic accidents.


A Tutorial on the Expectation Maximization (EM) Algorithm

#artificialintelligence

During the E-step we are calculating the expected value of cluster assignments. During the M-step we are calculating a new maximum likelihood for our hypothesis. Bio: Elena Sharova is a data scientist, financial risk analyst and software developer. She holds an MSc in Machine Learning and Data Mining from University of Bristol.


Christian drama 'Natural Selection' is no subtle offering

Los Angeles Times

There's little that comes off as "natural" in "Natural Selection," a stiffly heavy-handed, drawn-out, faith-based drama about a Christ-like teen struggling to find his true path. Arriving in a new town, soft-spoken Tyler (Mason Dye) and his alcoholic mother ("Bluebloods" regular Amy Carlson) have chosen the proverbial fresh start, but there are telling signs that it won't be a smooth transition. Tyler is immediately targeted by the bullies at his new high school, which, curiously, doesn't appear to have a single character of color among the student body, while his mom is finding it difficult to extricate herself from the throes of depression in the wake of her husband's suicide. He's taken under the manipulative wing of the troubled Indrid (Ryan Munzert), an outsider with a dark soul (how else to explain his non-creationist views?) who chastises Tyler for having too much faith in people. You know from the repeated close-ups of all those guns mounted in the display cabinet at Indrid's home that his profound disenchantment with the universe isn't going to end well, but first-time writer-director Chad Scheifele forcefully prolongs the inevitable.


3 Surprising Ways Artificial Intelligence is Changing Education - Extreme Networks

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is all around us and we might not even realize it! As a technology that imitates human decision making, it is present in a lot of what we use every day. AI can be found in Amazon.com Facebook tells you whom you could know and want to be friends with. Cars can automatically park for you.


Artificial Intelligence will chomp down a chunk of India's present knowledge economy - The Economic Times

#artificialintelligence

The decision by consulting major Capgemini to replace nearly 40% of its work done by its resource management group with IBM's cognitive computing system, Watson, is a clear indication that it is not just repetitive or mechanical jobs that are at risk. Artificial intelligence (AI) is capable of taking on those tasks that require analytical skills. The tasks from education and skill development just got tougher. By 2025, 70% of India's population is projected to be of working age. A chunk of India's present knowledge economy would have been chomped down by AI.


Redefining Career Readiness for an Uncertain Future

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are ushering in the rise of smart machines that will be able to carry out many of the complex cognitive tasks that once seemed exclusive to middle class work in the knowledge economy. Already, doctors are using deeper learning to help diagnose illnesses, entry-level lawyers are finding themselves out-analyzed by machines that can harvest case history faster than any human, artificial intelligence is writing news stories and robots are staffing restaurants. This is just the beginning: one Oxford University study suggests that as many as 47% of current middle-class American jobs could get displaced or change significantly over the next two decades due to automation.


FIRST CONTACT WITH TENSORFLOW: get started with deep learning programming

#artificialintelligence

The purpose of this book is to help to spread TensorFlow knowledge among engineers who want to expand their wisdom in the exciting world of Machine Learning. We believe that anyone with an engineering background might require from now on Deep Learning, and Machine Learning in general, to apply it in their work. As the title indicates, it is a first contact with TensorFlow in order to get started with Deep Learning programming. The book has a practical nature, and therefore it reduces the theoretical part as much as possible, assuming that the reader has some basic understanding about Machine Learning.


The 48 startups that launched at Y Combinator S16 Demo Day 2

#artificialintelligence

The world's most prestigious startup school launched 48 companies today at part 2 of its Summer 2016 Demo Day. Nanoparticle analytics and delivery robots were amongst the products revealed in the B2B, biotech, enterprise, edtech, fintech, and hardware verticals. You can check out our write-ups of all 44 startups that launched yesterday, and TechCrunch's picks for the top 7 from the batch. Trying to distill trends from the hodgepodge of startups at Demo day can be futile, because the real winners are the ones ahead of the trends. For example, TechCrunch thought Airware's drone operating system was a little too early in 2013. It turned out to be smartly ahead of the curve. Now you see lots of drone startups in YC, but many are chasing Airware which has gone on to raise 70 million. Y Combinator president Sam Altman explains "The best company at any given Demo Day is not the one that fits the theme of that Demo Day. Altman cites the Alan Kay quote that "the best way to predict the future is to invent it", adding "I think short of that, the future is basically unknowable. What I like about YC is the companies get to invent the future. They don't have to guess." One important development is that 30% of this batch's companies were founded outside the US, a bigger portion than in the past. YC partner Justin Kan credits that to the program being around long enough that it's funded successful companies from tons of countries.

This video series will teach you how to solve machine learning problems using Python's popular scikit-learn library. It was featured on Kaggle's blog in 2015. There are 9 video tutorials totaling 4 hours, each with a corresponding Jupyter notebook. The notebook contains everything you see in the video: code, output, images, and comments. You can watch the entire series on YouTube, and view all of the notebooks using nbviewer.


Subconscious Musings

#artificialintelligence

Asking about the benefits of artificial intelligence and machine learning reminds me a little of the transition to suitcases with wheels. Do you remember lugging around those old suitcases? If not, good for you - this original advertisement from US Luggage will take you back! Thank Bernard Sadow for persistence with his idea to add wheels, because when he pitched his idea people thought he was crazy. Surely no one would want to pull their own suitcase?
