Online learning with dynamics: A minimax perspective
Bhatia, Kush, Sridharan, Karthik
We study the problem of online learning with dynamics, where a learner interacts with a stateful environment over multiple rounds. In each round of the interaction, the learner selects a policy to deploy and incurs a cost that depends on both the chosen policy and current state of the world. The state-evolution dynamics and the costs are allowed to be time-varying, in a possibly adversarial way. In this setting, we study the problem of minimizing policy regret and provide non-constructive upper bounds on the minimax rate for the problem. Our main results provide sufficient conditions for online learnability for this setup with corresponding rates. The rates are characterized by 1) a complexity term capturing the expressiveness of the underlying policy class under the dynamics of state change, and 2) a dynamics stability term measuring the deviation of the instantaneous loss from a certain counterfactual loss. Further, we provide matching lower bounds which show that both the complexity terms are indeed necessary. Our approach provides a unifying analysis that recovers regret bounds for several well studied problems including online learning with memory, online control of linear quadratic regulators, online Markov decision processes, and tracking adversarial targets. In addition, we show how our tools help obtain tight regret bounds for a new problems (with non-linear dynamics and non-convex losses) for which such bounds were not known prior to our work.

With big data and data science on the rise, we have more data than we know what to do with. One of the basic languages of data analytics is SQL, which is used for many popular databases including MySQL, Postgres, SQLite, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and even big data solutions like Hive and Cassandra. I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Most high-level marketers and product managers at big tech companies know how to manipulate data to gain important insights.
Want to learn about artificial intelligence? โ VIDEO
Elements of AI is a free online course that launched in Ireland last month and is designed to be accessible from the beginning. At Future Human last month, it was announced that the University of Helsinki has teamed up with University College Cork to bring artificial intelligence "into the sitting rooms and kitchens of Irish homes". This will be through Elements of AI, a free online course designed and organised by the University of Helsinki and Finnish tech company Reaktor. Prof Teemu Roos of the University of Helsinki told the Future Human audience that the course was designed to be accessible from the beginning, starting with what artificial intelligence is and how we encounter it every day, before moving onto how it works and what the basic principles are. "There's no programming in the course, you don't have to know any programming to get started and complete the course. There's hardly any mathematics," he said.
Probabilistic Load Forecasting Based on Adaptive Online Learning
รlvarez, Verรณnica, Mazuelas, Santiago, Lozano, Josรฉ A.
Load forecasting is crucial for multiple energy management tasks such as scheduling generation capacity, planning supply and demand, and minimizing energy trade costs. Such relevance has increased even more in recent years due to the integration of renewable energies, electric cars, and microgrids. Conventional load forecasting techniques obtain single-value load forecasts by exploiting consumption patterns of past load demand. However, such techniques cannot assess intrinsic uncertainties in load demand, and cannot capture dynamic changes in consumption patterns. To address these problems, this paper presents a method for probabilistic load forecasting based on the adaptive online learning of hidden Markov models. We propose learning and forecasting techniques with theoretical guarantees, and experimentally assess their performance in multiple scenarios. In particular, we develop adaptive online learning techniques that update model parameters recursively, and sequential prediction techniques that obtain probabilistic forecasts using the most recent parameters. The performance of the method is evaluated using multiple datasets corresponding with regions that have different sizes and display assorted time-varying consumption patterns. The results show that the proposed method can significantly improve the performance of existing techniques for a wide range of scenarios.
The predictive value of social media data - MODULE 3 - Data Prep: Preparing the Training Data
Machine learning runs the world. It generates predictions for each individual customer, employee, voter, and suspect, and these predictions drive millions of business decisions more effectively, determining whom to call, mail, approve, test, diagnose, warn, investigate, incarcerate, set up on a date, or medicate. But, to make this work, you've got to bridge what is a prevalent gap between business leadership and technical know-how. Launching machine learning is as much a management endeavor as a technical one. Its success relies on a very particular business leadership practice.
AI Sciences
We are a group of experts, PhDs and Practitioners of Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Machine Learning, and Statistics. Some of us work in big companies like Amazon, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, KPMG, BCG, and IBM. We decided to produce a series of courses mainly dedicated to beginners and newcomers on the techniques and methods of Machine Learning, Statistics, Artificial Intelligence, and Data Science. Initially, our objective was to help only those who wish to understand these techniques more easily and to be able to start without too much theory and without a long reading. Today we also publish a more complete course on some topics for a wider audience.

Top Free AI & Data Science Courses Launched In 2020
After a lot of turmoil that the year 2020 brought in terms of business disruption, challenges to ensure business continuity, remote working becoming the new norm, among others, many companies and institutes introduced and developed free courses for the data science and AI enthusiasts to make the most of the lockdown. From various ivy league institutions to major organisations across the globe, several courses were made free this year. As the year 2020 comes to an end, we list a few such courses in AI and data science that were made free and are still available for tech enthusiasts to avail. The courses are listed in no particular order. In March this year, as lockdown ensued, to uplift the learners and help the community in the critical time, Coursera decided to launch new, free resources, as well as sharing impressive course collections, community discussions, and expert interviews.
