3 Ways AI Could Totally Change Healthcare

#artificialintelligence

Most of the time, artificial intelligence (AI) is discussed with respect to how it will make our technology devices better, how it'll usher in driverless cars, …


Demystifying Artificial Intelligence 7 Step Guide

#artificialintelligence

When we're asked, "What is artificial intelligence?" Perhaps it's a sassy-talking technology like Siri from Apple, or helpful humanoid counterparts like those depicted in The Jetsons. Some might even imagine sophisticated robots threatening to extinguish the human race. Nowadays, there are as many definitions of AI as there are companies trying to pitch AI solutions. So, how do law firms know how to incorporate artificial intelligence?


Text Classification with TensorFlow Estimators

@machinelearnbot

Note: This post was written together with the awesome Julian Eisenschlos and was originally published on the TensorFlow blog. Throughout this post we will show you how to classify text using Estimators in TensorFlow. Welcome to Part 4 of a blog series that introduces TensorFlow Datasets and Estimators. You don't need to read all of the previous material, but take a look if you want to refresh any of the following concepts. Part 1 focused on pre-made Estimators, Part 2 discussed feature columns, and Part 3 how to create custom Estimators.


Think You Can Tell Fake News From Real? New Study Says 'Think Again'

Forbes - Tech

Despite confidence in their soft skills, including critical thinking, a majority of young professionals in the 2nd Annual State of Critical Thinking Study commissioned by Massachusetts-based educational technology company MindEdge Learning resoundingly flunked a quiz that assessed their critical thinking skills specifically when applied to digital literacy. The nine questions in the quiz targeted the respondents' ability to distinguish fake news on the internet from reliable, factual content. Getting the questions right demanded one pay attention to details of style (use of all caps, presence or absence of photo credits, words such as "promoted" or spelling errors, etc.) as well as technical aspects such as broken links and recognizable domains. I asked MindEdge if I could see the survey questions and took the quiz myself. I am pretty sure I got all 9 questions right.


[D] Cross-entropy vs. mean-squared error loss • r/MachineLearning

#artificialintelligence

In statistics, maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) is a method of estimating the parameters of a statistical model, given observations. MLE attempts to find the parameter values that maximize the likelihood function, given the observations. The resulting estimate is called a maximum likelihood estimate, which is also abbreviated as MLE. The method of maximum likelihood is used with a wide range of statistical analyses. As an example, suppose that we are interested in the heights of adult female penguins, but are unable to measure the height of every penguin in a population (due to cost or time constraints).


"The 5-Minute Pitch" - EPISODE 5 - An ICO Documentary - Kimera Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Our NYC adventure continues with a race to the radio show "Let's Talk Crypto!" and tackling our first five-minute pitch at Blockchainpalooza in the heart of Manhattan... TOKEN SALE IS NOW LIVE: https://kimera.ai/ Kimera Systems is an advanced artificial intelligence company that has developed the world's first Artificial General Intelligence. AGI is different from other artificial intelligence, because it can think and reason the way humans do. During Kimeras travel around the world, we will promote our Initial Coin Offering (ICO) to help bring this technology to the world. To learn more visit http://kimera.ai


r/MachineLearning - [P] Octopusal Networks: a new machine learning algorithm

@machinelearnbot

That SNNs can't be trained is so last year. Check out this talk by Wolfgang Maass. In both cases they train biologically inspired networks to state of the art and beyond using backprop. I have a problem with the whole brain vs backprop dichotomy. Even if nature found something better than backprop, that still wouldn't answer the question of why.


r/MachineLearning - [D] PyTorch Global GPU Flag

@machinelearnbot

You are saying that dataloaders give CPU tensors by default but that is usually preferred. For instance, for images, loader backends (like PIL) are implemented on CPU so the data is first loaded in RAM and then passed to GPU. And when you want to do some pre-processing operations, it's actually preferable to make them on CPU since it won't slow down your model because it's made in parallel. Moreover most of these operations, like resizing, are well optimized for CPUs (using Pillow SIMD for example). I think, like others said, that having control over when and where data is moved is a nice way to make sure that you are doing exactly what you want.


[P] Alternatives to Softmax for prediction • r/MachineLearning

@machinelearnbot

You can actually use just tanh, sigmoid, or even no activation function at all. The main difference is that softmax gives you „probabilities" which sum to 1. while tanh/sigmoid give you activations between 0-1 / -1-1 and leaving out the activation doesn't put any bounds on it at all. it totally depends on the task you are working on.


How Netflix Deploys Open Source AI to Reveal Your FavoriteS

#artificialintelligence

In this AI based Science article, we explore How Netflix adopted an Open Source Model to improve their Entertainment Recommender Systems. First, let us discuss in brief, what Machine Learning basically means. In simple terms, Machine Learning is a technique by which a computer can "learn" from data, without using a complex set of different rules. This approach is mainly based on training a model from datasets. The better the quality of the datasets, the better the accuracy of the Machine Learning Model.
