On Adaptivity in Information-constrained Online Learning
Mitra, Siddharth, Gopalan, Aditya
We study how to adapt to smoothly-varying (`easy') environments in well-known online learning problems where acquiring information is expensive. For the problem of label efficient prediction, which is a budgeted version of prediction with expert advice, we present an online algorithm whose regret depends optimally on the number of labels allowed and $Q^*$ (the quadratic variation of the losses of the best action in hindsight), along with a parameter-free counterpart whose regret depends optimally on $Q$ (the quadratic variation of the losses of all the actions). These quantities can be significantly smaller than $T$ (the total time horizon), yielding an improvement over existing, variation-independent results for the problem. We then extend our analysis to handle label efficient prediction with bandit feedback, i.e., label efficient bandits. Our work builds upon the framework of optimistic online mirror descent, and leverages second order corrections along with a carefully designed hybrid regularizer that encodes the constrained information structure of the problem. We then consider revealing action-partial monitoring games -- a version of label efficient prediction with additive information costs, which in general are known to lie in the \textit{hard} class of games having minimax regret of order $T^{\frac{2}{3}}$. We provide a strategy with an $\mathcal{O}((Q^*T)^{\frac{1}{3}})$ bound for revealing action games, along with an one with a $\mathcal{O}((QT)^{\frac{1}{3}})$ bound for the full class of hard partial monitoring games, both being strict improvements over current bounds.
Machine Learning for Programmers
I have read a book or some posts on machine learning. I have watched some of the Coursera machine learning course. I still don't know how to get started… How do you get started in machine learning? The most common question I'm asked by developers on my newsletter is: How do I get started in machine learning? I honestly cannot remember how many times I have answered it. In this post, I lay out all of my very best thinking on this topic. You are a developer and you're interested in getting into machine learning. You read some blog posts.
4 ways artificial intelligence will shape the future of learning technology
With the rapid pace of innovation continually disrupting business models, and in many cases entire industries, how will online learning keep up to provide the relevant courseware for today's and tomorrow's workforce? This will be essential for economic growth and to support a thriving, college-educated workforce that's equipped with the very latest knowledge, ideas and technology. In the future, I believe that institutions at the forefront of online education will be recognized via several capabilities which will have digitally transformed today's EdTech market. They will include a powerful combination of omni-channel learning pathways, cognitive courseware, virtual counselors and AI-enabled course development and grading. These innovations, underpinned by artificial intelligence (AI), will help to provide students the ultimate choice in their courseware – including up-to-the-minute courses on high-interest/high-growth subject matter – as well as highly-innovative digital services that support them every step of the way to help maximize their success and personal objectives.

Transcript of interview of Peter Norvig by Lex Fridman
This is a quick transcript of the interview of Peter Norvig by Lex Fridman. I find this interview so interesting and revealing, that I decided to take on the task of making a transcript of the interview published in YouTube. Lex Friedman: The following is a conversation with Peter Norvig. A Modern Approach", and educated and inspired a whole generation of researchers, including myself, to get into the field of Artificial Intelligence. This is the Artificial Intelligence podcast. Lex Fridman: Most researchers in the AI community, including myself, own all three editions, red green and blue, of the "Artificial intelligence, a modern approach", the field defining textbook. As many people are aware that you wrote with Stuart Russell, how is the book changed, and how have you changed in relation to it from the first edition to the second, to the third, and now fourth edition as you work on it? Peter Norvig: Yeah so it's been a lot of years, a lot of changes. One of the things changing from the first, to maybe the second, or third, was just the rise of computing power, right? So, I think in the First Edition we said: "here's predicate logic but that only goes so far because pretty soon you have millions of short little medical expressions and they can possibly fit in memory, so we're gonna use first-order logic that's more concise." And then we quickly realized: "Oh, predicate logic is pretty nice because there are really fast Sat solvers, and other things, and look there's only millions of expressions and that fits easily into memory, or maybe even billions fit into memory now.
Docebo Successfully Completes IPO - Learning News
TORONTO, Thursday, Oct. 10, 2019 - Docebo Inc. (TSX:DCBO) ("Docebo" or the "Company"), has successfully launched its IPO on the Toronto Stock Exchange, marking a milestone moment and a significant achievement for the SaaS e-Learning platform. Docebo, developer of a leading AI-powered learning platform, has seen significant growth thanks to its dedication to its customers' success and consistent string of innovation, from launching its social learning functionality in 2016 to the implementation of in-house build learning specific artificial intelligence algorithms in 2018. Docebo has since become a truly international company with offices in Toronto, Milan, London, Atlanta, and Dubai. With over 2/3s of its revenue based in North America, Docebo's headquarters in Canada has been the hub for the company's international expansion and growth. "Completing this IPO is an exciting achievement for the organization and comes as a result of the talent and dedication of our team and support from our global base of customers and partners," said Claudio Erba, CEO of Docebo.
5 Steps to Become a Data Scientist
Data Science is such a broad field that includes several subdivisions like data preparation and exploration; data representation and transformation; data visualization and presentation; predictive analytics; machine learning, etc. For beginners, learning the fundamentals of data science can be a very daunting task especially if you don't have proper guidance as to the necessary training required, or what courses to take, and in what order. Before discussing the steps necessary to become a data scientist, let's discuss the skills that every data scientist should have in his skills set toolbox. I started learning data science about a year ago. It was quite challenging from the beginning, but let me share with you the approach that worked for me.

The World Economic Forum states the growth of artificial intelligence (AI) could create 58 million net new jobs in the next few years, yet it's estimated that currently there are 300,000 AI engineers worldwide, but millions are needed. This means there is a unique and immediate opportunity for you to get started with learning the essential ML concepts that are used to build AI applications – no matter what your skill levels are. Learning the foundations of ML now, will help you keep pace with this growth, expand your skills and even help advance your career. This course will teach you how to get started with AWS Machine Learning.
Five algorithms that help students learn and professors teach - Richard van Hooijdonk Blog
Education systems face a multitude of challenges in today's fast-moving world. Teacher workload is ever-increasing, while delivering personalised lessons to students and fostering their critical thinking skills are crucial but elusive goals. Many people lack access to high-quality learning materials and qualified professors. Fortunately, technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) can provide schools with much needed assistance, and companies have developed smart algorithms that refine educational experiences in many different ways. Whether through personalised learning and smart content or through transcribing words and improving cognitive performance, AI-driven tools are transforming the way children learn and develop new skills.
