How we trained AI to be sexist

#artificialintelligence

But once Feldman was hired to write the personality of a chatbot for Kasisto, a startup that focuses on artificial intelligence software for banks, she became vocal about the importance of taking gender out of the identity equation. Under her watch, MyKai, the bot she was hired to craft a personality for, would be neither female nor male. Feldman's boss at Kasisto, Dror Oren, says the work the team has done with the bot made him more outspoken about the need for equality in tech than he'd have imagined going into the project, and he's a self-proclaimed feminist to begin with. Now, he's hyperaware of the differences between the personality of Kai and overly feminine answers inside similar products made by most large tech companies. Kasisto is on to something.

Predicting Flights Delay Using Supervised Learning, Logistic Regression

@machinelearnbot

In this post, we'll use a supervised machine learning technique called logistic regression to predict delayed flights. But before we proceed, I like to give condolences to the family of the the victims of the Germanwings tragedy.


New Deep Learning course on Udemy

#artificialintelligence

This course continues where my first course, Deep Learning in Python, left off. You already know how to build an artificial neural network in Python, and you have a plug-and-play script that you can use for TensorFlow. You learned about backpropagation (and because of that, this course contains basically NO MATH), but there were a lot of unanswered questions. How can you modify it to improve training speed? In this course you will learn about batch and stochastic gradient descent, two commonly used techniques that allow you to train on just a small sample of the data at each iteration, greatly speeding up training time.

#artificialintelligence

Machine learning is increasingly becoming mainstream. It promises higher accuracy and better ROI, and has started to emerge as one of the more reliable analytical practices in recent times. It provides organizations with an edge over their competition. That said, building the right team is a tricky challenge. The traditional approach of building an in-house team for same is not only cumbersome, but also takes lot of time to scale.

Is Artificial Intelligence the Future of Sales? - Professional Sales Awards 2017

#artificialintelligence

Is Artificial Intelligence the Future of Sales? Posted by Mihaela Bogdanovic from on 29th November 2016. Digital innovation has always been a hot topic here at Awards International. The stories of companies implementing new technology into their routines have certainly served as an inspiration to both our expert judges and other entrants for years now. At our upcoming Professional Sales Awards, we are excited to hear the ideas behind digitalising an industry that mostly depends on human interaction – sales.


3 ways AI will alter the enterprise

#artificialintelligence

As consumers, we're familiar with -- if not yet wholly invested in -- the term "artificial intelligence," whether it's by way of self-driving cars or voice-enabled search like Siri and Amazon's Alexa. Artificial intelligence is on course to drastically change the enterprise, with big implications for productivity and possibly even larger ramifications on the economy. Business intelligence is providing companies with an overabundance of data, but it's AI that's emerging to make this data actionable by giving executives and employees useful insights that are relevant to their specific roles and what they need to accomplish on any given day. To name just a few of implications of how business will change with AI, today's workforce will be empowered to take on new approaches with time management, teamwork and collaboration, client service, and business forecasting. For example, instead of just assessing raw data, artificial intelligence can take into account historical patterns and current context of an employee's role, the nature of the business within which they work and market dynamics.


Stacking models for improved predictions: A case study for housing prices

@machinelearnbot

If you have ever competed in a Kaggle competition, you are probably familiar with the use of combining different predictive models for improved accuracy which will creep your score up in the leader board. While it is widely used, there are only a few resources that I am aware of where a clear description is available (One that I know of is here, and there is also a caret package extension for it). Therefore, I will try to workout a simple example here to illustrate how different models can be combined. The example I have chosen is the House Prices competition from Kaggle. This is a regression problem and given lots of features about houses, one is expected to predict their prices on a test set.
