Interest in data science has risen remarkably in the last five years. And while there are many programming languages suited for data science and machine learning, Python is the most popular. Scikit-Learn is a Python module for machine learning built on top of SciPy and NumPy. David Cournapeau started it as a Google Summer of Code project.

Over the past few years, the term "deep learning" has firmly worked its way into business language when the conversation is about Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data and analytics. And with good reason – it is an approach to AI which is showing great promise when it comes to developing the autonomous, self-teaching systems which are revolutionising many industries. Deep Learning is used by Google in its voice and image recognition algorithms, by Netflix and Amazon to decide what you want to watch or buy next, and by researchers at MIT to predict the future. The ever-growing industry which has established itself to sell these tools is always keen to talk about how revolutionary this all is. But what exactly is it?

The Pix2Pix GAN is a generator model for performing image-to-image translation trained on paired examples. For example, the model can be used to translate images of daytime to nighttime, or from sketches of products like shoes to photographs of products. The benefit of the Pix2Pix model is that compared to other GANs for conditional image generation, it is relatively simple and capable of generating large high-quality images across a variety of image translation tasks. The model is very impressive but has an architecture that appears somewhat complicated to implement for beginners. In this tutorial, you will discover how to implement the Pix2Pix GAN architecture from scratch using the Keras deep learning framework. Discover how to develop DCGANs, conditional GANs, Pix2Pix, CycleGANs, and more with Keras in my new GANs book, with 29 step-by-step tutorials and full source code.

The Sun is the most important source of energy in the solar system. It is important for life to thrive on Earth but at the same time, can cause disruptions. Solar Flares - a sudden flash near sunspots occasionally accompanied by coronal mass ejection can cause interference in communication systems and even power grids. The Sun is an important factor that can impact the weather in space and on Earth, is constantly monitored by an array of telescopes and satellites. Scientists have figured out a more reliable method to study the spherical ball of plasma.

Thanks for your note on Facebook, which I reprint below, followed by some thoughts of my own. I appreciate your taking the time to consider these issues. I concur that you and I agree more than we disagree, and as you do, I share your implicit hope that field might benefit from an articulation of both our agreements and our disagreements. "is that a simple hybrid in which the output of the deep net are discretized and then passed to a GOFAI symbolic processing system will not work. Many reasons: (1) you need learning in the system 2 component as well as in the system 1 part, (2) you need to represent uncertainty there as well…" "… it's probably not realistic to encode by hand every-thing that machines need to know. Machines are going to need to learn lots of things on their own. We might want to hand-code the fact that sharp hard blades can cut soft material, but then an AI should be able to build on that knowledge and learn how knives, cheese graters, lawn mowers, and blenders work, without having each of these mechanisms coded by hand" " formal logic of the sort we have been talking about does only one thing well: it allows us to take knowledge of which we are certain and apply rules that are always valid to deduce new knowledge of which we are also certain. If we are entirely sure that Ida owns an iPhone, and we are sure that Apple makes Iphones, then we can be sure that Ida owns something made by Apple. But what in life is absolutely certain? As Bertrand Russell once wrote, "All human knowledge is uncertain, inexact, and partial." Yet somehow we humans manage. When machines can finally do the same, representing and reasoning about that sort of knowledge -- uncertain, inexact, and partial -- with the fluidity of human beings, the age of flexible and powerful, broad AI will finally be in sight."

Recent student knowledge modeling algorithms such as DKT and DKVMN have been shown to produce accurate predictions of problem correctness within the same learning system . However, these algorithms do not generate estimates of student knowledge. In this paper we present an extension that infers knowledge estimates from correctness predictions. We apply this extension to DKT and DKVMN, result ing in knowledge estimates that correlate better with a posttest than knowledge estimates produced by PFA or BKT. We also apply our extension to correctness predictions from PFA and BKT, finding that knowledge predictions produced with it correlate better with the posttest than BKT and PFA's own knowledge predictions. These findings are significant since the primary aim of education is to prepare students for later experiences outside of the immediate learning activity.

The effectiveness of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) has been substantially attributed to their built-in property of translation equivariance. However, CNNs do not have embedded mechanisms to handle other types of transformations. In this work, we pay attention to scale changes, which regularly appear in various tasks due to the changing distances between the objects and the camera. First, we introduce the general theory for building scale-equivariant convolutional networks with steerable filters. We develop scale-convolution and generalize other common blocks to be scale-equivariant. We demonstrate the computational efficiency and numerical stability of the proposed method. We compare the proposed models to the previously developed methods for scale equivariance and local scale invariance. We demonstrate state-of-the-art results on MNIST-scale dataset and on STL-10 dataset in supervised learning setting.

Federated learning is a new machine learning paradigm which allows data parties to build machine learning models collaboratively while keeping their data secure and private. While research efforts on federated learning have been growing tremendously in the past two years, most existing works still depend on pre-existing public datasets and artificial partitions to simulate data federations due to the lack of high-quality labeled data generated from real-world edge applications. Consequently, advances on benchmark and model evaluations for federated learning have been lagging behind. In this paper, we introduce a real-world image dataset. The dataset contains more than 900 images generated from 26 street cameras and 7 object categories annotated with detailed bounding box. The data distribution is non-IID and unbalanced, reflecting the characteristic real-world federated learning scenarios. Based on this dataset, we implemented two mainstream object detection algorithms (YOLO and Faster R-CNN) and provided an extensive benchmark on model performance, efficiency, and communication in a federated learning setting. Both the dataset and algorithms are made publicly available.

Colour vision has long fascinated scientists, who have sought to understand both the physiology of the mechanics of colour vision and the psychophysics of colour perception. We consider representations of colour in anatomically constrained convolutional deep neural networks. Following ideas from neuroscience, we classify cells in early layers into groups relating to their spectral and spatial functionality. We show the emergence of single and double opponent cells in our networks and characterise how the distribution of these cells changes under the constraint of a retinal bottleneck. Our experiments not only open up a new understanding of how deep networks process spatial and colour information, but also provide new tools to help understand the black box of deep learning. The code for all experiments is avaialable at \url{https://github.com/ecs-vlc/opponency}.

A variety of papers have been recently produced on "robustifying " Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), particularly to adversarial Test-Time Evasion (TTE) attacks [14, 15, 13]. We discuss some of this work in Sections III.A and IV.A of [9 ] and argue for the need for TTE-attack detection [8] for robustness . In this note, we derive a local class purity result under the assumption of Lipschitz continuity, discuss Lipschitz margin training, and define an associated p-value. Estimation of the Lipschitz parameter for a given DNN is disc ussed in, e.g., [12, 14, 16, 4].
