Learning Management
Full stack web development and AI with Python (Django)
This full stack web development, Django and AI combination course leads you through a complete range of software skills and languages, skilling you up to be an incredibly on-demand developer. The combination of being able to create full-stack websites AND machine learning and AI models is very rare - something referred to as a unAIcorn. This is exactly what you will be able to do by the end of this course. Whether you're looking to get into a high paying job in tech, aspiring to build a portfolio so that you can land remote contracts and work from the beach, or you're looking to grow your own tech start-up, this course will be essential to set you up with the skills and knowledge to develop you into a unAIcorn. This course will fill all the gaps in between.
Representation Matters: Assessing the Importance of Subgroup Allocations in Training Data
Rolf, Esther, Worledge, Theodora, Recht, Benjamin, Jordan, Michael I.
Datasets play a critical role in shaping the perception of performance and progress in machine learning (ML)--the way we collect, process, and analyze data affects the way we benchmark success and form new research agendas (Paullada et al., 2020; Dotan & Milli, 2020). A growing appreciation of this determinative role of datasets has sparked a concomitant concern that standard datasets used for training and evaluating ML models lack diversity along significant dimensions, for example, geography, gender, and skin type (Shankar et al., 2017; Buolamwini & Gebru, 2018). Lack of diversity in evaluation data can obfuscate disparate performance when evaluating based on aggregate accuracy (Buolamwini & Gebru, 2018). Lack of diversity in training data can limit the extent to which learned models can adequately apply to all portions of a population, a concern highlighted in recent work in the medical domain (Habib et al., 2019; Hofmanninger et al., 2020). Our work aims to develop a general unifying perspective on the way that dataset composition affects outcomes of machine learning systems.
Udacity Machine Learning vs. Simplilearn Machine Learning - for your ML Career
You will receive 58 hours of applied instructor-led training. To earn the certification, you should attend a full batch of online training and submit a completed project for the flexi-pass learners or complete at least 85% of the course and submit one completed project for the self-paced learners. The machine learning certification course by Simplilearn is designed for learners with intermediate-level machine learning knowledge and skills in various roles, including business analysis, data analysis, information architecture, data science, machine learning, and others. To take this course, you need a college-level understanding of statistics and mathematics as well as Python programming knowledge. Simplilearn offers a blended learning approach that gives learners access to both live instructor-led training and recorded-videos.
The Use of AI for Accessible Education
Many times AI has been put on a pedestal as the future of x y & z, however, many seem to agree that education is a sector in particular which will see stark changes in both admin, teaching styles, personalisation and more. I had the pleasure of speaking to three individuals working in the field, including, Vinod Bakthavachalam, Senior Data Scientist at Coursera, Kian Katanforoosh, Lecturer at Stanford University & Sergey Karayev, Co-Founder and CTO of Gradescope. We began by having Sergey of Gradescope walk us through his product, which has been recently acquired by turnitin. The concept, it seemed was formed from the simple and widespread issue of both lack of consistency, lack of insight through time constraint and delayed feedback on academic work. Sergey found that scanning the papers onto an online interface when paired with a rubric can allow for accurate marking in seconds across several papers.
How AI will rescue us from online learning's 'bad television'
Post-pandemic, some of universities' teaching practices may never return. In parallel, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming so capable it could start changing how we learn. Covid, perversely, may herald a renaissance for online learning. Most digital learning today is terrible, resembling "bad television", as frequent collaborator professor Alex Pentland of MIT puts it. According to a 2019 study, only 3 per cent of students who start an online class finish it.

5 Trends That Will Drive the Transformation of EdTech in 2021 - Software Technology Blog
Covid-19 has accelerated the adoption of technology across various sectors, but the speed at which EdTech advanced is remarkable. Millions of schools switched to remote learning, almost overnight. And it looks like the changes that EdTech has enabled, will continue to influence education even as educational institutes prepare for a full return to classrooms. EdTech is here to stay. With that, let's look at the 5 trends that will possibly guide the growth of EdTech this year.
Do You Need A Masters Degree to Become a Data Scientist?
Given the hype going on about data science, this is a very valid question, do you need a master's degree. If this hype is genuine or not is also another big question. But this article will focus on if a master's degree is necessary. There are so many other short, easier, and cheaper options out there. Is it still necessary to go through a big academic process?
An Online Learning Approach to Interpolation and Extrapolation in Domain Generalization
Rosenfeld, Elan, Ravikumar, Pradeep, Risteski, Andrej
Modern machine learning algorithms excel when the training and test distributions match but often fail under even moderate distribution shift (Beery et al., 2018); learning a predictor which generalizes to distributions which differ from the training data is therefore an important task. This objective, broadly referred to as out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization, is not realizable in general, so researchers have formalized several possible restrictions. Common choices include a structural assumption such as covariate or label shift (Widmer & Kubat, 1996; Bickel et al., 2009; Lipton et al., 2018) or expecting that the test distribution will lie in some uncertainty set around the training distribution (Bagnell, 2005; Rahimian & Mehrotra, 2019). One popular assumption is that the training data is comprised of a collection of "environments" (Blanchard et al., 2011; Muandet et al., 2013; Peters et al., 2016) or "groups" (Sagawa et al., 2020), each representing a distinct distribution, where the group identity of each sample is known. The hope is that by cleverly training on such a combination of groups, one can derive a robust predictor which will better transfer to unseen test data which relates to the observed distributions--such a task is known as domain generalization.
