Question about how do people train their networks. • /r/MachineLearning

#artificialintelligence

I am not relatively new to machine learning, I work with relatively small datasets by using R and Python and it worked pretty well for me, but I am trying to move to a higher level with relatively more complex networks and datasets on my MacBook and I've never be able to wait for the results. I am not a hardware guy so this apparently is a pain in my butt and I need so advices. My laptop uses Intel Iris GPU so when I used tensorflow I could not use CUDA to accelerate my GPU. I searched online and unfortunately I didn't find any helpful information to help to to solve this problem. How do you train your networks?


Artificial intelligence: Getting as good as the real thing

#artificialintelligence

Like electricity transformed everything we do, artificial intelligence will reshape our world. AI, essentially intelligent machines, could change industries from retail to finance to transportation. That will change our lives, said a panel of experts Monday discussing "The State of AI" at the EmTech Digital Conference in San Francisco. And just how all companies use the Internet, they may need to start expanding their data teams. Three of the biggest experts in artificial intelligence, Andrew Ng, Peter Norvig and Oren Etzioni, say despite its recent boom, AI still has a long way to go.


Facebook ditches Bing, 800M users now see its own AI text translations

#artificialintelligence

Machine learning is accomplishing Facebook's mission of connecting the world across language barriers. Facebook is now serving 2 billion text translations per day. Facebook can translate across 40 languages in 1,800 directions, like French to English. And 800 million users, almost half of all Facebook users, see translations each month. That's all based on Facebook's own machine learning translation system.


Everything Google announced at I/O 2016

#artificialintelligence

Developers and press gathered today at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California, for the annual ritual known as Google I/O. Are you ready for a Google overdose? Here's everything the company announced during its most important event of the year: Google launched its latest Android N developer preview today -- the first one to receive "beta-quality" status. Developers can start testing their apps for this release by downloading the new preview here. The factory images should arrive shortly for the following supported devices: Nexus 5X, Nexus 6, Nexus 6P, Nexus 9, Nexus 9 LTE, Nexus Player, General Mobile 4G, and Pixel C. Remember the rumor suggesting Google may use an online poll to name Android N? Well, it turns the rumor was half-correct: It's more of a suggestion box than a poll. Google wants to hear your what you've got at android.com/n.


Using Machine Learning to Enhance the Customer Experience

#artificialintelligence

Thanks to machine learning, the page you see when you log-on to Amazon.com is likely very different from the one I see. Advertising, product recommendations, and special deals are all tailored to our unique customer profiles based on historical browsing trends and buying behavior. Online retailers like Amazon were among the first users of customer data collection and analysis for improving services and personalizing the shopping experience, and they've become so skilled some sites might even be able to predict what we will purchase before we even know what we're looking for. Advancements in digital technologies have driven a paradigm shift in the way businesses interact with their customers, with touchpoints increasingly moving to digital mediums. Because of the limited opportunities to satisfy customers on a person-to-person level, machine learning is now in widespread use by a variety of modern enterprises as a way to enrich customer experiences, create more personalized and customer-centric interactions, and offer seamless omnichannel communications. Machine learning goes a step beyond Big Data analytics, where machines employ advanced algorithms to autonomously adapt and learn from previous experiences, and therefore emulate the thought process behind human decision-making.


Develop Your First Neural Network in Python With Keras Step-By-Step

#artificialintelligence

Keras is a powerful easy-to-use Python library for developing and evaluating deep learning models. It wraps the efficient numerical computation libraries Theano and TensorFlow and allows you to define and train neural network models in a few short lines of code. In this post you will discover how to create your first neural network model in Python using Keras.

There is not a lot of code required, but we are going to step over it slowly so that you will know how to create your own models in the future.


Joel Grus – Fizz Buzz in Tensorflow

#artificialintelligence

Do you need a break? And are you OK with writing code on the whiteboard? So let's start with some standard imports: So, now let's talk models. I'm thinking a simple multi-layer-perceptron with one hidden layer. We want the input to be a number, and the output to be the correct "fizzbuzz" representation of that number.


A 'Brief' History of Neural Nets and Deep Learning, Part 4

#artificialintelligence

This is the fourth part in'A Brief History of Neural Nets and Deep Learning'. In this part, we will get to the end of our story and see how deep learning emerged from the slump neural nets found themselves in by the late 90s, and the amazing state of the art results it has achieved since. "Ask anyone in machine learning what kept neural network research alive and they will probably mention one or all of these three names: Geoffrey Hinton, fellow Canadian Yoshua Bengio and Yann LeCun, of Facebook and New York University."1 When you want a revolution, start with a conspiracy. With the ascent of Support Vector Machines and the failure of backpropagation, the early 2000s were a dark time for neural net research. LeCun and Hinton variously mention how in this period their papers or the papers of their students were routinely rejected from being published due to their subject being Neural Nets.


Deep learning tools help users dig into advanced analytics data

#artificialintelligence

At Twitter Inc., Hugo Larochelle's job is to develop an understanding of how users of the social network are connected to each other and what interests them in order to categorize and promote content that includes tweets, images and videos. To help accomplish that, he and his fellow data analysts use an emerging technology: deep learning tools. As Larochelle, a research scientist at Twitter, explained during a presentation at the Deep Learning Summit in Boston this month, deep learning is a category of machine learning that seeks to understand complex problems, such as interpreting images or text-based natural language. He and other proponents say deep learning techniques -- which lean heavily on the use of neural networks -- are more useful than traditional machine learning when data analytics applications involve unstructured data or require subjective interpretations. And deep learning is quickly becoming a hot field in the realm of advanced data analytics.


Robot revolution: rise of the intelligent automated workforce

#artificialintelligence

Losing jobs to technology is nothing new. Since the industrial revolution, roles that were once exclusively performed by humans have been slowly but steadily replaced by some form of automated machinery. Even in cases where the human worker is not completely replaced by a machine, humans have learnt to rely on a battery of machinery to be more efficient and accurate. A report from the Oxford Martin School's Programme on the Impacts of Future Technology said that 47% of all jobs in the US are likely to be replaced by automated systems. Among the jobs soon to be replaced by machines are real estate brokers, animal breeders, tax advisers, data entry workers, receptionists, and various personal assistants. But you won't need to pack up your desk and hand over to a computer just yet, and in fact jobs that require a certain level of social intelligence and creativity such as in education, healthcare, the arts and media are likely to remain in demand from humans, because such tasks remain difficult to be computerised.
