Hybrid Rule-Based Machine Learning With scikit-learn

#artificialintelligence

TL;DR scikit-learn does not allow you to add hard-coded rules to your machine learning model, but for many use cases, you should! This article explores how you can leverage domain knowledge and object-oriented programming (OOP) to build hybrid rule-based machine learning models on top of scikit-learn. Supervised machine learning models are great for making predictions under uncertainty; they pick up patterns in past data and accurately extrapolate them into the future. Machine learning has pushed the frontier in fields where determining the most likely outcome, whether a class or specific value, has historically been challenging, prone to error, or too time-consuming or expensive at scale. Still, there exist many domains in which some of all possible outcomes are not ambiguous but certain by definition.


Key Differences Between JavaScript And Python - My Android

#artificialintelligence

In the world of tech and programming both JavaScript and Python languages are becoming popular day by day. To start a programming career its sometimes difficult to choose a startup language. Some developers prefer JavaScript for the starters and some prefer Python. Both JavaScript and Python are object-oriented languages. In this article we will compare both programming languages and talk about some key differences between JavaScript and Python.


Data Structures and Algorithms with Python

#artificialintelligence

This clearly structured and easy to read textbook explains the concepts and techniques required to write programs that can handle large amounts of data efficiently. Project-oriented and classroom-tested, the book presents a number of important algorithms supported by motivating examples that bring meaning to the problems faced by computer programmers. The idea of computational complexity is also introduced, demonstrating what can and cannot be computed efficiently so that the programmer can make informed judgements about the algorithms they use. The text assumes some basic experience in computer programming and familiarity in an object-oriented language, but not necessarily with Python. Students of computer science will find this clear and concise textbook to be invaluable for undergraduate courses on data structures and algorithms, at both introductory and advanced levels.

Python vs. JavaScript for AI: Which one should you choose?

#artificialintelligence

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is growing at an exponential rate. Businesses are using AI to leverage benefits such as lower costs, increased productivity, and reduced manual errors. Those benefits are so palpable that today, 30% of all companies worldwide are using AI for at least one of their sales processes. But it's also natural to ask yourself which language you should choose for programming AI algorithms. After a little digging, you'll surely find that Python and JavaScript are two top contenders.


Structure Mapping for Transferability of Causal Models

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Human beings learn causal models and constantly use them to transfer knowledge between similar environments. We use this intuition to design a transfer-learning framework using object-oriented representations to learn the causal relationships between objects. A learned causal dynamics model can be used to transfer between variants of an environment with exchangeable perceptual features among objects but with the same underlying causal dynamics. We adapt continuous optimization for structure learning techniques to explicitly learn the cause and effects of the actions in an interactive environment and transfer to the target domain by categorization of the objects based on causal knowledge. We demonstrate the advantages of our approach in a gridworld setting by combining causal model-based approach with model-free approach in reinforcement learning.


Efficient State Abstraction using Object-centered Predicates for Manipulation Planning

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The definition of symbolic descriptions that consistently represent relevant geometrical aspects in manipulation tasks is a challenging problem that has received little attention in the robotic community. This definition is usually done from an observer perspective of a finite set of object relations and orientations that only satisfy geometrical constraints to execute experiments in laboratory conditions. This restricts the possible changes with manipulation actions in the object configuration space to those compatible with that particular external reference definitions, which greatly limits the spectrum of possible manipulations. To tackle these limitations we propose an object-centered representation that permits characterizing a much wider set of possible changes in configuration spaces than the traditional observer perspective counterpart. Based on this representation, we define universal planning operators for picking and placing actions that permits generating plans with geometric and force consistency in manipulation tasks. This object-centered description is directly obtained from the poses and bounding boxes of objects using a novel learning mechanisms that permits generating signal-symbols relations without the need of handcrafting these relations for each particular scenario.


The state of services in the cloud for 2020

#artificialintelligence

Services are really old school if you think about it. We've progressed from early efforts around API-enabling applications, to object-oriented programming, to CORBA-based services, to SOA, to containers, to serverless functions, to today's use of microservices. What's common about the journey is the underlying belief that we can write something once and use it many times in many different applications or utilities, not to mention the ability to combine services so they become a new service unto itself. This is done through service decomposition. The word "service" is overused today; in the cloud computing world it describes anything that is exposed by a public cloud provider, such as storage, compute, database, etc. Services, at least the way I understand them, are the capability of exposing both behavior and data bound to that behavior in ways that allow developers to be more productive.


NumPy Fundamentals for Data Science and Machine Learning

#artificialintelligence

Note: If you prefer to read with a white background and black font, you can see this article in GitHub here. Las time I check SVG images rendered just fine. It is no exaggeration to say that NumPy is at the core of the entire scientific computing Python ecosystem, both as a standalone package for numerical computation and as the engine behind most data science packages. In this document, I review NumPy main components and functionality, with attention to the needs of Data Science and Machine Learning practitioners, and people who aspire to become a data professional. My only assumption is that you have basic familiarity with Python, things like variables, lists, tuples, and loops. Advance Python concepts like Object Oriented Programming are not touched at all. Content-wise, I'll say that 95% is based on NumPy v1.18 manual, in particular: The rest 5% comes from a couple of random articles on the Internet and Stack Overflow. I resort to those sources mostly to clarify concepts and functionality that wasn't clear for me from NumPy documentation. My own experience was the base to organize the tutorial, explain concepts, create practical examples, create images, etc. "Why are you using the documentation as the main source of content, instead of the many great tutorials online?" Because it is the most up-to-date, complete, and reliable source about NumPy (and about any library for that matter). "Why then I should read this if everything comes from the documentation?" Well, you don't need to read this, you are right. Actually, I encourage you to read the documentation and learn from there. What I can offer is my own: (1) organization of contents, (2) selection of contents, (3) explanations and framing of concepts, (4) images, (5) practical examples, (6) and general perspective. This tutorial is part of a larger project I am working on, which is an introduction to Python and its libraries for scientific computing, data science, and machine learning that you can find here. As a final note, if you are NumPy expert, advanced user, or developer, you may find some inaccuracies or lack of depth in some of my explanations. Two things: (1) feel free to suggest a better explanation or something that I may add to make things clearer, (2) I prioritize conciseness and accessibility over the accuracy, so the lack of accuracy or depth sometimes it is intentional from my part. If you have any questions or suggestion feel free to reach me out to at pcaceres@wisc.edu Here is my Twitter, LinkedIn, and personal site. Scientific and numerical computing often requires processing massive datasets with complex algorithms. If you are a scientist or data professional, you want a programming language than can process data FAST. The closer a programming language is to machine instructions (binary), the faster it runs.
