AI improves breast cancer risk prediction
Most existing breast cancer screening programs are based on mammography at similar time intervals -- typically, annually or every two years -- for all women. This "one size fits all" approach is not optimized for cancer detection on an individual level and may hamper the effectiveness of screening programs. "Risk prediction is an important building block of an individually adapted screening policy," said study lead author Karin Dembrower, M.D., breast radiologist and Ph.D. candidate from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. "Effective risk prediction can improve attendance and confidence in screening programs." High breast density, or a greater amount of glandular and connective tissue compared to fat, is considered a risk factor for cancer.
A Distilled List of AI Trends For 2020
With this article, I would like to dive into both technical and non-technical aspects and trends of AI, discussing relatively new trends such as AutoML to more articulated and ethical aspects of AI, which day by day are slowly touching more companies and final users. In 2019 giant chip manufacturers such as Intel, Qualcomm or NVIDIA released chips that are specifically crafted to only execute AI-based applications, mainly in the computer vision field, natural language processing, and speech recognition. Google released TensorFlow 2.0, which extends the support for TensorFlow on Node.js, integrates with iOS and finally, officially changed its high-level API to Keras, making it mobile and PWA first. Moreover, BERT models evolved into DistilBERT or FastBert, computer vision algorithms are at a level able to execute the majority of consumer's tasks with a very good level of accuracy. Big players such as DeepMind or OpenAI further pushed the boundaries of reinforcement learning, a field that is seeing its first real-world applications.
Introduction to Deep Learning (Part 1)
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the scientific branch that emphasizes the development of creating machines that can operate similarly to humans. This is the simplest type. It can decide without memory and the use of prior experience. This type of intelligence is reactive, meaning it can only react to a current situation. A good example of this type of AI would be IBM's "Deep Blue" that was created to play chess.
Applications For 2020 Facebook AI Residency Program Open
Facebook's Artificial Intelligence (AI) Residency Program is a one-year research training position designed to give participants hands-on experience with artificial intelligence research while working in Facebook AI. The program will pair you with an AI Researcher and Engineer who will both guide your project. With the team, you will pick a research problem of mutual interest and then devise new deep learning techniques to solve it. We also encourage collaborations beyond the assigned mentors. The research will be communicated to the academic community by submitting papers to top academic venues as well as open-source code releases and/or product impact.
Machine Learning Books you should read in 2020
Machine Learning became one of the hottest domain of Computer Science. Each larger company is either applying Machine Learning or thinking about doing so soon to solve their problems and understand their data sets. That means it's time to learn about Machine Learning, especially if you're looking for new Computer Science challenges. A great way to do that is to read a couple of books. If you're just getting started with Machine Learning definitely read this book: Introduction to Machine Learning with Python is a gentle introduction into machine learning.

Reinforcement learning framework and algorithms implemented in PyTorch. To get started, checkout the example scripts, linked above. The initial release for 0.2 has the following major changes: Overall, the refactors are intended to make the code more modular and readable than the previous versions. These Anaconda environments use MuJoCo 1.5 and gym 0.10.5. You'll need to get your own MuJoCo key if you want to use MuJoCo.

Facebook's AI Chief Talks AR Glasses, AI, And Machine Learning
Facebook AI Research chief AI scientist Yann LeCun believes augmented reality glasses are an ideal challenge for machine learning (ML) practitioners -- a "killer app" -- because they involve a confluence of unsolved problems. Perfect AR glasses will require the combination of conversational AI, computer vision, and other complex systems capable of operating with a form factor as small as a pair of spectacles. Low-power AI will be necessary to ensure reasonable battery life so users can wear and use the glasses for long periods of time. Alongside companies like Apple, Niantic, and Qualcomm, Facebook this fall confirmed plans to make augmented reality glasses by 2025. "This is a huge challenge for hardware because you might have glasses with cameras that track your vision in real time at variable latency, so when you move โฆ that requires quite a bit of computation. You want to be able to interact with an assistant through voice by talking to it so it listens to you all the time, and it will talk to you as well. You want to have gesture [recognition] so the assistant [can perform] real-time hand tracking," he said.
The Most In Demand Tech Skills for Data Scientists - KDnuggets
In fall of 2018 I analyzed the most in demand skills and technologies for data scientists. That article resonated with folks. It has over 11,000 claps on Medium, was translated into several languages, and was the most popular story on KD Nuggets for November 2018. A little over a year has passed. By the end of this article you'll know which technologies are becoming more popular with employers and which are becoming less popular.
Crossing the AI Chasm with Infographics
AI is a game changer. And being a data and analytics guy, I could not be more excited about it. The McKinsey research study "Notes from the AI frontier: Applications and value of deep learning" provided some valuable insights into where and how Artificial Intelligence (i.e., Deep Learning / Neural Networks (CNNs, RNNs, GANs), Reinforcement Learning and Deep Reinforcement Learning) will derive and drive new sources of customer, product and operational value, especially when compared to traditional analytic approaches. AI will add billions of dollars of financial and economic value to ALL industries. A no-brainer if ever one existed.
