Beyond Deep Learning – 3rd Generation Neural Nets
By far the fastest expanding frontier of data science is AI and specifically the rapid advances in Deep Learning. Advances in Deep Learning have been dependent on artificial neural nets and especially Convolutional Neural Nets (CNNs). In fact our use of the word "deep" in Deep Learning refers to the fact that CNNs have large numbers of hidden layers. Microsoft recently won the annual ImageNet competition with a CNN comprised of 152 layers. Compare that with the 2, 3, or 4 hidden layers that are still typical when we use ordinary back-prop NNs for traditional predictive analytic problems. First, CNNs have come close to achieving 100% efficiency for image, speech, and text recognition.
Zero Human Touch Networks
In the mean time … did we drop the ball? The sophistication of network management remains largely "stone age" in most Telcos! SNMP is still alive and kicking despite RFC3535* Dr. Kim K. Larsen / Zero Touch Networks. Humans are very good a mastering complexity! 8. 8Dr. But we have not YET managed to extract simplicity!
Book: Mastering Python for Data Science
If you are a Python developer who wants to master the world of data science then this book is for you. Some knowledge of data science is assumed. Derive inferences from the analysis by performing inferential statistics Evaluate and apply the linear regression technique to estimate the relationships among variables. Evaluate and apply the linear regression technique to estimate the relationships among variables. Evaluate and apply the linear regression technique to estimate the relationships among variables.
Get started with Azure Machine Learning
Machine learning is fast becoming the go-to predictive paradigm for data scientists and developers alike. Of the many tools available for tapping neural networks, Microsoft's Azure ML Studio offers a quick learning curve that won't take deep data or coding chops to get up and running. Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is a cloud service for performing value prediction (regression), anomaly detection, structure discovery (clustering), and category prediction (classification). While my previous tutorial for TensorFlow revealed how Google's open source machine learning and deep neural network library requires you to roll up your sleeves a bit before digging in, Azure ML Studio's graphical, modular approach will have you testing machine learning models quickly, as you will see below.
Building an Algorithm to Break Strong Encryption
Here I discuss breaking encryption keys that rely on the product of two very large prime numbers. In other words, the interest here is to factor a number (representing a key in some encryption system) that is the product of two very large primes. Once the number is factored, the key is compromised. Factoring such large numbers is believed to be computationally non-feasible, thus the interest in discovering new algorithms to disprove this conjecture, and specifically to factor large numbers (product of two large primes - the most difficult numbers to factor) much faster than with the current algorithms. As an important side note, I will discuss the randomness (or lack of) of the byproduct time series involved, and show why they are unsuitable to generate random deviates, despite satisfying several tests of randomness.
How This Supercomputer Will Be Your Startup's Secret Weapon
When IBM rolled out its artificial intelligence system, Watson, it also welcomed entrepreneurs to help it monetize the revolutionary technology. A key com ponent to Watson is its cognitive capability--to learn as it goes along. Able to grind through millions of websites, documents, articles, and images in seconds, Watson can remember the research it gathers, as well as your response to it. So Watson becomes progressively more accurate--intelligent, if you will--as people use it. It can be everything from an über-helpful call-center rep to an oncology adviser, recommending cancer treatments on the basis of a patient's genetic profile and thousands of clinical trials and medical journal articles it has analyzed.
Terminator vs. Real Life; The current state of Unmanned Warfare - SogetiLabs
Regarding Fear and Artificial Intelligence (AI), one question often comes up:'Will we be killed by a Terminator Doppelganger?' I don't know if this will happen eventually, but I do know that we already have robots fighting our wars. This century is therefore, the first time in human history that we engage in Unmanned Warfare. What is the current status of this'Unmanned Warfare'? What do people think about drone strikes and will terminators be the next step?
