Here's Why You Need Python Skills as a Machine Learning Engineer - KDnuggets
Python is one of the most popular programming languages used in the field of machine learning. According to Kaggle's annual survey of machine learning engineers, about 90% of respondents reported using Python in 2020. Tech giants like Spotify, Amazon, and more rely heavily on Python to power their machine learning operations and build more effective products. Netflix uses Python to create and manage recommendation algorithms, personalization algorithms, and marketing algorithms. From robotics to machine learning, many of Google's AI investments depend on Python as well.
India Artificial Intelligence Market To Reach $7.8 Billion By 2025: IDC
The artificial intelligence (AI) market in India is expected to grow at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.2 percent and touch USD 7.8 billion in total revenues by 2025, according to research firm IDC. The businesses in India will accelerate the adoption of both AI-centric and AI non-centric applications for the next five years, IDC said in a statement. AI software segment is expected to dominate the market and grow from USD 2.8 billion in 2020 at a CAGR of 18.1 percent by the end of 2025, IDC said. Organisations are leveraging multiple AI applications such as CRM (), ERM () and others to manage operations, scale supply chains in response to real-time or predicted demands and many more to provide benefits for their customers, improve RoI (return on investments) and achieve cost savings, it added.
Why Improvisation Is the Future in an AI-Dominated World
In his autobiography, Miles Davis complained that classical musicians were like robots. He spoke from experience – he'd studied classical music at Juilliard and recorded with classical musicians even after becoming a world-renowned jazz artist. As a music professor at the University of Florida, which is transforming itself into an "AI university," I often think about Davis' words, and the ways in which musicians have become more machinelike over the past century. At the same time, I see how machines have been getting better at mimicking human improvisation, in all aspects of life. I wonder what the limits of machine improvisation will be, and which human activities will survive the rise of intelligent machines.
NASA's lunar probe snaps eerie black and white image of Jupiter and two of its moons
NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter - focused on observing the moon in preparation for humanity heading back to the celestial satellite - has snapped an eerie black and white photo of Jupiter and two of its moons. The LRO, which launched in June 2009, snapped the image of Jupiter and its moons, Io and Europa from 390 million miles away. The spacecraft sits roughly 62 miles (100km) above the surface of the moon, which is 239,000 miles from Earth. Given the extreme distance between the moon and the gas giant and the fact that the LRO is'aging' according to a statement, the image is a feat of technological strength. NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has snapped a black and white photo of Jupiter and two of its moons, Io and Europa (circled in red above) 'Because the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft is aging (LRO launched over 12 years ago), it now only uses its two star trackers to keep tabs on where it is pointed, rather than its inertial measurement unit, which adds complications to imaging anywhere but straight down at the lunar surface (we don't want the star trackers pointed at the Moon rather than the stars!),' Brett Denevi, deputy principal investigator for the LRO Camera, said in a statement.
Google lets users factor climate change into everyday life choices
Google on Wednesday said it is tweaking widely used tools for getting around, shopping and more to let users factor climate change into everyday routines. Google is among the Big Tech firms that have made pledges and investments to reduce the environmental impact of their operations with moves such as making power-hungry data centers carbon neutral. New features unveiled on Wednesday provide users with ways to help in the effort, whether it be driving routes that result in less exhaust being spewed from cars or shopping online for energy efficient appliances. "In all these efforts, our goal is to make the sustainable choice an easier choice," Google chief executive Sundar Pichai said while briefing journalists on the latest features. Artificial intelligence was put to work in Google's free Google Maps service in the United States to show people the most fuel efficient routes to destinations even if they are not the quickest.
Relation Prediction as an Auxiliary Training Objective for Improving Multi-Relational Graph Representations
Chen, Yihong, Minervini, Pasquale, Riedel, Sebastian, Stenetorp, Pontus
Learning good representations on multi-relational graphs is essential to knowledge base completion (KBC). In this paper, we propose a new self-supervised training objective for multi-relational graph representation learning, via simply incorporating relation prediction into the commonly used 1vsAll objective. The new training objective contains not only terms for predicting the subject and object of a given triple, but also a term for predicting the relation type. We analyse how this new objective impacts multi-relational learning in KBC: experiments on a variety of datasets and models show that relation prediction can significantly improve entity ranking, the most widely used evaluation task for KBC, yielding a 6.1% increase in MRR and 9.9% increase in Hits@1 on FB15k-237 as well as a 3.1% increase in MRR and 3.4% in Hits@1 on Aristo-v4. Moreover, we observe that the proposed objective is especially effective on highly multi-relational datasets, i.e. datasets with a large number of predicates, and generates better representations when larger embedding sizes are used.
Bach Style Music Authoring System based on Deep Learning
With the continuous improvement in various aspects in the field of artificial intelligence, the momentum of artificial intelligence with deep learning capabilities into the field of music is coming. The research purpose of this paper is to design a Bach style music authoring system based on deep learning. We use a LSTM neural network to train serialized and standardized music feature data. By repeated experiments, we find the optimal LSTM model which can generate imitation of Bach music. Finally the generated music is comprehensively evaluated in the form of online audition and Turing test. The repertoires which the music generation system constructed in this article are very close to the style of Bach's original music, and it is relatively difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the musics Bach authored and AI created.
Japan-born Syukuro Manabe among three winners of Nobel Prize in physics
Japanese-American scientist Syukuro Manabe, Klaus Hasselmann of Germany and Giorgio Parisi of Italy on Tuesday won the Nobel Physics Prize for climate models and the understanding of physical systems. The Nobel committee said it was sending a message with its prize announcement just weeks before the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, as the rate of global warming sets off alarm bells around the world. "The world leaders that haven't got the message yet, I'm not sure they will get it because we are saying it," said Thor Hans Hansson, chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics. "But … what we are saying is that the modeling of climate is solidly based in physics theory." Manabe, 90, and Hasselmann, 89, will share half of the 10 million kronor ($1.1 million) prize for their research on climate models.
