As I had always been in love with technology, I have a habit of exploring new technologies. I like to read about what's happening in the tech world and how these new technologies can disrupt the current industries. In the recent past, as I was exploring and reading extensively on what impact can recent technologies have over our lives, I quickly noticed that there were a few terms that were thrown around almost all over the place: AI, Data Science, Machine Learning, Deep Learning. Although, technically wrong, let's refer to these technologies as AI (Artificial Intelligence) in general. I was kinda hooked and I started to casually read about them as these technologies naturally appeared to have the potential to disrupt any industry imaginable.

In this workshop we will explore how to use physical intuition and ideas to design new classes of machine learning (ML) algorithms. Physics-inspired sampling algorithms could be used to train ML structures or sample the hyper-parameter space (e.g. Additionally, physics-based models such as Ising/Potts models or energy-based models have influenced ML inference frameworks such as Markov Random Fields and Restricted Boltzmann Machines, and we want to continue the discussion to facilitate this innovation transfer. Finally, physical insight could be used to enhance learning in the situation of scarce data by enforcing smoothness, differentiability or other physical properties relevant to a given problem. We will also explore the use of Koopmans' theorem to design learning algorithms for dynamical systems.

We've made great strides in the field of computer vision, to the point where self-driving cars equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) can effectively "see" their surroundings. But can we teach AI to "feel" something about what it sees? The folks at Getty Images think we can. At first blush, the idea that AI could "feel" something would seem to be pretty far-fetched. Feelings in general are closely intertwined with our human identities.

Deep neural networks can be complicated to understand, train and use. Deep learning is still, to a large extent, an experimental science. This is why getting some input on the best practices can be vital in making the most out of the capabilities that neural networks offer. This article presents some good tips and tricks for understanding, training and using deep learning. The simplest way to represent things with neural networks is to dedicate one neuron to each thing.

Deep learning and the Internet of Things (IoT) are two aspects of artificial intelligence (AI) that could potentially revolutionise the oil and gas industries. Having already made quite a storm in various other industries including consumer electronics, this couldn't come at a better time for the oil industry as it currently faces dramatic drops in the price of oil. While there is no doubt several AI practical applications already in place that will indeed help these industries improve the following are three have the potential to make a significant difference across the board. In the same way that bots are being used in customer service departments, field technicians can interact with diagnostic applications through voice controls. This is made possible through the use of deep learning and natural language processing algorithms and enables remote diagnostics at the touch of a button.

Machine learning and deep learning models, like those in Keras, require all input and output variables to be numeric. This means that if your data contains categorical data, you must encode it to numbers before you can fit and evaluate a model. The two most popular techniques are an integer encoding and a one hot encoding, although a newer technique called learned embedding may provide a useful middle ground between these two methods. In this tutorial, you will discover how to encode categorical data when developing neural network models in Keras.

Something you'll hear a lot is that the increasing availability of compute resources has paved the way for important advances in artificial intelligence. With access to powerful cloud computing platforms, AI researchers have been able to train larger neural networks in shorter timespans. This has enabled AI to make inroads in many fields such as computer vision, speech recognition, and natural language processing. But what you'll hear less is the darker implications of the current direction of AI research. Currently, advances in AI is mostly tied to scaling deep learning models and creating neural networks with more layers and parameters.

Python continues to lead the way when it comes to Machine Learning, AI, Deep Learning and Data Science tasks. Because of this, we've decided to start a series investigating the top Python libraries across several categories: Of course, these lists are entirely subjective as many libraries could easily place in multiple categories. For example, Keras is included in this list but TensorFlow has been omitted and features in the Deep Learning library collection instead. This is because Keras is more of an'end-user' library like SKLearn, as opposed to TensorFlow which appeals more to researchers and Machine Learning engineer types. Now, let's get onto the list (GitHub figures correct as of October 3rd, 2018): "scikit-learn is a Python module for machine learning built on NumPy, SciPy and matplotlib. It provides simple and efficient tools for data mining and data analysis. SKLearn is accessible to everybody and reusable in various contexts. "Keras is a high-level neural networks API, written in Python and capable of running on top of TensorFlow, CNTK, or Theano.

Since the release of PyTorch in 2016, it is on a rollercoaster ride as its adoption among developers and researchers is continually increasing. Although it was released long after one of the most popular deep learning frameworks TensorFlow, over the years, PyTorch has quickly gained grounds and has overtaken advantage its competitors had due to their early release. Numerous organisations are utilising PyTorch in their business processes to innovate and eliminate various business challenges. More notably, Microsoft and Tesla have embraced PyTorch in their organisations for adding artificial intelligence capabilities. While Tesla has integrated it for autopilot in the car, Microsoft has been using it for internal developments and have also brought support on Azure.
