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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you're an aspiring or even established developer, choosing which programming language to learn next can be a daunting task. There are so many programming languages to choose from, and each one tends to be suited for a specific subspecialty of tech. But if you haven't already learned Python, you can call off the search. This incredibly powerful and popular programming language is used to build everything from apps to the latest artificial intelligence (AI) software and technologies. The Ultimate Python & Artificial Intelligence Certification Bundle will teach you everything you need to know for just $39.99--over 95% off its usual price for a limited time.

The birth of massive open online courses (MOOCs) has had an undeniable effect on how teaching is being delivered. It seems that traditional in class teaching is becoming less popular with the young generation, the generation that wants to choose when, where and at what pace they are learning. As such, many universities are moving towards taking their courses, at least partially, online. However, online courses, although very appealing to the younger generation of learners, come at a cost. For example, the dropout rate of such courses is higher than that of more traditional ones, and the reduced in person interaction with the teachers results in less timely guidance and intervention from the educators. Machine learning (ML) based approaches have shown phenomenal successes in other domains. The existing stigma that applying ML based techniques requires a large amount of data seems to be a bottleneck when dealing with small scale courses with limited amounts of produced data. In this study, we show not only that the data collected from an online learning management system could be well utilized in order to predict students overall performance but also that it could be used to propose timely intervention strategies to boost the students performance level. The results of this study indicate that effective intervention strategies could be suggested as early as the middle of the course to change the course of students progress for the better. We also present an assistive pedagogical tool based on the outcome of this study, to assist in identifying challenging students and in suggesting early intervention strategies.

Costs of attending college have increased by merely 25% in the last 10 years. During the 1970s, enrolling in classes at a private college would have cost students no more than $18,000 yearly. Today, costs are close to $50,000 per year for a good private university, according to a report at CNBC. While earning a college degree should be an investment every student should make, most of us cannot afford this without entering student debt and thus, accepting the loss of our financial freedom. During the last years, online classes have become more popular for this exact reason.
