Python Machine Learning Tutorial, Scikit-Learn: Wine Snob Edition

#artificialintelligence

In this end-to-end Python machine learning tutorial, you'll learn how to use Scikit-Learn to build and tune a supervised learning model! We'll be training and tuning a random forest for wine quality (as judged by wine snobs experts) based on traits like acidity, residual sugar, and alcohol concentration. Before we start, we should state that this guide is meant for beginners who are interested in applied machine learning. Our goal is introduce you to one of the most flexible and useful libraries for machine learning in Python. We'll skip the theory and math in this tutorial, but we'll still recommend great resources for learning those. To move quickly, we'll assume you have this background.


How to Better Classify Coachella With Machine Learning (Part 2)

#artificialintelligence

I get often asked how to start with Machine Learning. But then I consider myself a maker. I truly believe experience is key and solving actual real world applications are the key to unlock the mysteries. Once you have your first success at building and understanding a solution that solved your problem you can dig deeper and refine the building blocks. The problem that we faced, (see Part 1), was that we have a multitude of data vendors providing us with event information.


Machine Learning Techniques for Predictive Maintenance

#artificialintelligence

Everyday, we depend on many systems and machines. We use a car to travel, a lift go up and down, and a plane to fly. Electricity comes through turbines and in a hospital machine keeps us alive. Some failures are an just an inconvenience, while others could mean life or death. When stakes are high, we perform regular maintenance on our systems. For example, cars are serviced once every few months and aircrafts are serviced daily.


In the AI wars, Microsoft now has the clearer vision

#artificialintelligence

A week ago, Microsoft held its Build developer conference in its backyard in Seattle. This week, Google did the same in an amphitheater right next to its Mountain View campus. While Microsoft's event felt like it embodied the resurgence of the company under the leadership of Satya Nadella, Google I/O -- and especially its various, somewhat scattershot keynotes -- fell flat this year. The two companies have long been rivals, of course, but now -- maybe more than ever -- they are on a collision course that has them compete in cloud computing, machine learning and artificial intelligence, productivity applications and virtual and augmented reality. Both opened their respective shows. But while Pichai used his time mostly to announce new stats and a new product or two, Nadella instead used his time on stage to talk about the opportunities and risks of the inevitable march of technological progress that went way beyond saying that his company is now'AI first.' "Let us use technology to bring more empowerment to more people," Nadella said of one of the core principles of what he wants his company to focus on.


Developers are leading the charge on innovation with AI - IBM Watson

#artificialintelligence

Key Points: – The market for AI is on an exponential growth curve and is expected to reach $16.06 billion by 2022. Artificial intelligence is rapidly coming of age, poised to transform businesses and industries globally. The market for AI is on an exponential growth curve and is expected to reach $16.06 billion by 2022. With over half of all developer teams projected to embed AI services in their apps by 2018, it's inevitable that consumers will soon be interacting with these new technologies on a regular basis. While the growing popularity of AI is clear, who's actually driving the adoption of these new technologies at organizations?


Create Slack Bot using Botkit in 10 minutes – Chatbot's Life

#artificialintelligence

Slackbot is a bot used in slack. Slack is a cloud based collaboration platform stands for "Searchable Log of All Conversation and Knowledge". Bot is used to perform simple operations without human intervention. Botkit is created to make the life easy for developers who would like to create bots that are live inside Slack, Facebook Messenger, Twilio IP Messaging, and other messaging platforms. This is open source kit.


Artificial Intelligence or Intelligence Augmentation. What's in a name?

#artificialintelligence

Even as we try to wrap our heads around the idea of Artificial Intelligence, or AI, and understand its impact on our lives, our businesses and jobs, some experts suggest we may be barking up the wrong tree. The answers to our questions, they believe, may lie in a concept called Intelligence Augmentation, or IA. One of these experts, Murali Doraiswamy, a professor at Duke University, US, wrote in an opinion piece for the World Economic Forum in January that IA uses machine-learning technologies that are similar to AI, but instead of replacing humans, IA seeks to assist them. This characteristic, insists Prof. Doraiswamy, may ensure that IA will make more "progress and headlines" than AI. He adds that combining machine learning with the existing power of the human brain can help us get the best of both worlds.


The Data Science Behind AI

#artificialintelligence

Summary: For those of you traditional data scientist who are interested in AI but still haven't given it a deep dive, here's a high level overview of the data science technologies that combine into what the popular press calls artificial intelligence (AI). We and others have written quite a bit about the various types of data science that make up AI. Still I hear many folks asking about AI as if it were a single entity. AI is a collection of data science technologies that at this point in development are not even particularly well integrated or even easy to use. In each of these areas however, we've made a lot of progress and that's caught the attention of the popular press.


Toyota places a £600m bet on artificial intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Mr Toyoda Toyota president announced that the car company would be launching a research company in silcon valley to develop artificial intelligence for use in cars and robotics. The Toyota research institute according to the company press release would make drive accessible to everyone regardless of inability. However the new company, which will have 200 employees and launch in 2016, will be looking to go "beyond" autonomous cars. Health, mobility and personal well being robotics to improve all aspects of human life. Toyota has previously said its first self-driving car will be out by 2020 and it has produced some robots which includes a series of nursing bots to help those with physical impairments.
