Proteins may be small and unassuming, but these molecules are essential for a variety of biological functions in all living organisms, including digestion, immune response and even intracellular communication. Consisting of long chains of smaller organic compounds called amino acids, the different functions of various proteins are determined by the way they fold up in three-dimensional space. Not surprisingly, the folded structures of these protein chains can get immensely complex, and scientists have yet to fully figure out the mysteries behind how and why certain proteins fold the way they do, and how diseases like Alzheimer's might be caused when they misfold. While using modern technologies like cryo-electron microscopes, nuclear magnetic resonance and X-ray crystallography can help us understand protein folding a little better, it's an unfortunately time-consuming and costly process. Accurately predicting the folded structures of proteins could be the key to unlocking many medical mysteries, and thanks to recent developments in integrating artificial intelligence in the field of computational biology, that slow process may very well be accelerated -- allowing us to discover or even design new and useful proteins.

Practical Python and OpenCV serves as a gentle introduction to the world of computer vision and image processing. If you're new computer vision, you should go with this book. The course covers 13 modules broken out into 168 lessons. Everything covered in Practical Python and OpenCV is also covered in the Gurus course (and in more detail). Deep Learning for Computer Vision with Python is a deep dive into the world of computer vision and deep learning.

Head CT is used worldwide to assess neurological emergencies and detect acute brain haemorrhages. Interpreting these head CT scans requires readers to identify tiny subtle abnormalities, with near-perfect sensitivity, within a 3D stack of greyscale images characterized by poor soft-tissue contrast, low signal-to-noise ratio and a high incidence of artefacts. As such, even highly trained experts may miss subtle life-threatening findings. To increase the efficiency, and potentially also the accuracy, of such image analysis, scientists at UC San Francisco (UCSF) and UC Berkeley have developed a fully convolutional neural network, called PatchFCN, that can identify abnormalities in head CT scans with comparable accuracy to highly trained radiologists. Importantly, the algorithm also localizes the abnormalities within the brain, enabling physicians to examine them more closely and determine the required therapy (PNAS 10.1073/pnas.1908021116).

Universal Approximation Theorem says that Feed-Forward Neural Network (also known as Multi-layered Network of Neurons) can act as powerful approximation to learn the non-linear relationship between the input and output. But the problem with the Feed-Forward Neural Network is that the network is prone to over-fitting due to the presence of many parameters within the network to learn. Can we have another type of neural network that can learn complex non-linear relationship but with fewer parameters and hence prone to over-fitting?. Convolution Neural Network (CNN) is another type of neural network that can be used to enable machines to visualize things and perform tasks such as image classification, image recognition, object detection, instance segmentation etc…are some of the most common areas where CNN's are used. In this article, we will explore the workings of the Convolution Neural Network in-depth.

Based on Apache OpenWhisk, IBM Cloud Functions is a Functions as a Service (FaaS) platform that makes it easy to build and deploy serverless applications. In this tutorial, you'll build a serverless application using IBM Cloud Functions that monitors the content of a Cloud Object Storage bucket and analyzes the content of images that are uploaded to the bucket by a human or an automated process. For illustrative purposes, analysis is performed by a deep learning microservice from the Model Asset eXchange and analysis results are stored as JSON files in the same bucket. You can easily adapt the outlined approach to take advantage of hosted cognitive services, such as those provided by IBM Watson, and to store results in a NoSQL datastore like Cloudant or a relational database. By completing this introductory tutorial, you learn how to monitor a Cloud Object Storage bucket for changes (new objects, updated objects, or deleted objects) using Cloud Functions and how to use deep learning microservices from the Model Asset eXchange to automatically analyze those objects in near real time.

Arnold Schwarzenegger means it when he says: "I'll be back," but not everyone is thrilled there's a new Terminator film out this week. In labs at the University of Cambridge, Facebook and Amazon, researchers fear Terminator: Dark Fate could mislead the public on the actual dangers of artificial intelligence (AI). AI pioneer Yoshua Bengio told BBC News he didn't like the Terminator films for several reasons. "They paint a picture which is really not coherent with the current understanding of how AI systems are built today and in the foreseeable future," says Prof Bengio, who is sometimes called one of the "godfathers of AI" for his work on deep learning in the 1990s and 2000s. "We are very far from super-intelligent AI systems and there may even be fundamental obstacles to get much beyond human intelligence."

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women and men worldwide. In 2012, it represented about 12 percent of all new cancer cases and 25 percent of all cancers in women. Breast cancer starts when cells in the breast begin to grow out of control. These cells usually form a tumor that can often be seen on an x-ray or felt as a lump. The tumor is malignant (cancer) if the cells can grow into (invade) surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to distant areas of the body.

PyTorch continues to gain momentum because of its focus on meeting the needs of researchers, its streamlined workflow for production use, and most of all because of the enthusiastic support it has received from the AI community. PyTorch citations in papers on ArXiv grew 194 percent in the first half of 2019 alone, as noted by O'Reilly, and the number of contributors to the platform has grown more than 50 percent over the last year, to nearly 1,200. Facebook, Microsoft, Uber, and other organizations across industries are increasingly using it as the foundation for their most important machine learning (ML) research and production workloads. We are now advancing the platform further with the release of PyTorch 1.3, which includes experimental support for features such as seamless model deployment to mobile devices, model quantization for better performance at inference time, and front-end improvements, like the ability to name tensors and create clearer code with less need for inline comments. We're also launching a number of additional tools and libraries to support model interpretability and bringing multimodal research to production.
