Improving Latent User Models in Online Social Media
Krishnan, Adit, Sharma, Ashish, Sundaram, Hari
Modern social platforms are characterized by the presence of rich user-behavior data associated with the publication, sharing and consumption of textual content. Users interact with content and with each other in a complex and dynamic social environment while simultaneously evolving over time. In order to effectively characterize users and predict their future behavior in such a setting, it is necessary to overcome several challenges. Content heterogeneity and temporal inconsistency of behavior data result in severe sparsity at the user level. In this paper, we propose a novel mutual-enhancement framework to simultaneously partition and learn latent activity profiles of users. We propose a flexible user partitioning approach to effectively discover rare behaviors and tackle user-level sparsity. We extensively evaluate the proposed framework on massive datasets from real-world platforms including Q&A networks and interactive online courses (MOOCs). Our results indicate significant gains over state-of-the-art behavior models ( 15% avg ) in a varied range of tasks and our gains are further magnified for users with limited interaction data. The proposed algorithms are amenable to parallelization, scale linearly in the size of datasets, and provide flexibility to model diverse facets of user behavior.

Four Ways Jobs Will Respond to Automation
The level of threat to a given profession depends on two factors: the type of value provided and how it's delivered. This article is part of an MIT SMR initiative exploring how technology is reshaping the practice of management. There is no question that automation is changing the nature of work. But are the robots really coming for your job? One of the most popular narratives is that low-paying jobs are doomed, while college-educated professions will remain largely untouched. Analysts often focus on wages and education as the primary predictors of job evolution, along with organizations' potential to increase efficiency and reduce costs by changing or cutting jobs.
Natural Language Processing with Python and NLTK
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a hot topic into the Machine Learning field. This course is focused in practical approach with many examples and developing functional applications. This course starts explaining you, how to get the basic tools for coding and also making a review of the main machine learning concepts and algorithms. After that this course offers you a complete explanation of the main tools in NLP such as: Text Data Assemble, Text Data Preprocessing, Text Data Visualization, Model Building and finally developing NLP applications.

Decentralized Online Learning: Take Benefits from Others' Data without Sharing Your Own to Track Global Trend
Zhao, Yawei, Yu, Chen, Zhao, Peilin, Liu, Ji
Decentralized Online Learning (online learning in decentralized networks) attracts more and more attention, since it is believed that Decentralized Online Learning can help the data providers cooperatively better solve their online problems without sharing their private data to a third party or other providers. Typically, the cooperation is achieved by letting the data providers exchange their models between neighbors, e.g., recommendation model. However, the best regret bound for a decentralized online learning algorithm is $\Ocal{n\sqrt{T}}$, where $n$ is the number of nodes (or users) and $T$ is the number of iterations. This is clearly insignificant since this bound can be achieved \emph{without} any communication in the networks. This reminds us to ask a fundamental question: \emph{Can people really get benefit from the decentralized online learning by exchanging information?} In this paper, we studied when and why the communication can help the decentralized online learning to reduce the regret. Specifically, each loss function is characterized by two components: the adversarial component and the stochastic component. Under this characterization, we show that decentralized online gradient (DOG) enjoys a regret bound $\Ocal{n\sqrt{T}G + \sqrt{nT}\sigma}$, where $G$ measures the magnitude of the adversarial component in the private data (or equivalently the local loss function) and $\sigma$ measures the randomness within the private data. This regret suggests that people can get benefits from the randomness in the private data by exchanging private information. Another important contribution of this paper is to consider the dynamic regret -- a more practical regret to track users' interest dynamics. Empirical studies are also conducted to validate our analysis.
Why Machine Learning Is A Great Career Jump For Physicists
The demand for data science and machine learning jobs is rapidly rising and the gap between this demand and the number of data scientists available is still very wide. Now, people from an engineering background and pure sciences are shifting their careers in the field of ML. Physics is one such background which falls into this category because of the high level of logic and mathematics required in an ML job. Physics research requires dealing with a lot of data, just like ML. Physicists are also proficient in at least one programming language -- most likely Python, as it is popular in the Physics community as well. There are many physicists today who are data scientists.
Alaska Schools Get Faster Internet--Partly Thanks to Global Warming
Before they got down to business for the day, students in Devin Tatro's social studies class were offered a quiet moment of self-reflection: On this golden fall afternoon at Nome-Beltz Junior/Senior High School, were they feeling chipper, distressed, or somewhere in between? One by one, they selected the picture of the facial expression that best matched their mood, and with a swift click sent an answer to the teacher. She scanned the responses and made a few mental notes. Then, without missing a beat, she switched the smartboard display and launched into a multiple-choice quiz using a game-based online learning platform called Kahoot! "Tell me one thing you remember about yesterday's lesson on expansions and tax on Native Americans," Tatro said, pacing the front of the classroom. She rattled off students' responses as they popped up on the smartboard in a colorful word cloud: "Forced relocation, reduced population, disease, warfare, cultural destruction ... wow, that's a powerful term."
Hiring For The AI (Artificial Intelligence) Revolution -- Part II
No doubt, they are quite extensive -- and in high demand. "We've seen a tremendous rise in interest and enrollment in AI and machine learning, not just year over year but month over month as well. From 2017 to 2018, we saw over 30% growth in demand for courses on AI and machine learning. In 2018, we saw an even more significant rise with a 70% increase in demand for AI and machine learning courses. We anticipate interest to continue to grow month over month in 2019."
