The Top Data Science Courses at Udemy

#artificialintelligence

There's no doubt about it - Data Science is big news right now. We see it on the news every day, the increasing number of news stories about Big Data, the Internet of Things, Deep Learning, Artificial Intelligence, smart cars, smart cities, smart politicians. OK, maybe I went a bit too far with that last one... Every month I get an email from Udemy telling me which courses are their best sellers. The list isn't about Data Science, but there are always plenty of Data Science courses right up there at the top of the list. We decided to share this resource with you, and so here are Udemy's top selling courses.


Episodic Multi-armed Bandits

arXiv.org Machine Learning

We introduce a new class of reinforcement learning methods referred to as {\em episodic multi-armed bandits} (eMAB). In eMAB the learner proceeds in {\em episodes}, each composed of several {\em steps}, in which it chooses an action and observes a feedback signal. Moreover, in each step, it can take a special action, called the $stop$ action, that ends the current episode. After the $stop$ action is taken, the learner collects a terminal reward, and observes the costs and terminal rewards associated with each step of the episode. The goal of the learner is to maximize its cumulative gain (i.e., the terminal reward minus costs) over all episodes by learning to choose the best sequence of actions based on the feedback. First, we define an {\em oracle} benchmark, which sequentially selects the actions that maximize the expected immediate gain. Then, we propose our online learning algorithm, named {\em FeedBack Adaptive Learning} (FeedBAL), and prove that its regret with respect to the benchmark is bounded with high probability and increases logarithmically in expectation. Moreover, the regret only has polynomial dependence on the number of steps, actions and states. eMAB can be used to model applications that involve humans in the loop, ranging from personalized medical screening to personalized web-based education, where sequences of actions are taken in each episode, and optimal behavior requires adapting the chosen actions based on the feedback.


Netflix or Coursera? How to finish Andrew Ng's 1st Deep Learning Course in 7 days

@machinelearnbot

If you love Andrew Ng's first Coursera course on machine learning as much as I do, you were equally hyped when you heard that deeplearning.ai Since everybody's on a tight schedule, let's try the impossible and finish a course that is laid out to last one month in one week. Let's not rush through though, but actually understand the material. And of course, we'll do it while continuing our 40h/week job. What are the advantages of finishing the course quickly you ask?


Top 10 Free Machine Learning Courses To Study Online

#artificialintelligence

"Machine learning is a field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed" -- Arthur Samuel, 1959. Machine learning and artificial intelligence have been a rising field of research in both the corporate and the academic world. Machine learning proves to be incredibly powerful when it comes to making predictions or calculated suggestions that are based on large amounts of data. If an individual wants to master machine learning, how do you start and from where? In order to learn about Machine Learning, one not only needs a keen interest in it but also have the right resources.


The great rush to data sciences in India FactorDaily

@machinelearnbot

It's 9 am on a February morning and the mercury is just inching past 20 degrees Celsius in Bengaluru. The workday is already two hours old in the metropolis's densely laid-out eastern suburb of Marathahalli. A student batch of both unemployed and working software professionals at Robotek Minds, a tech training institute, has just finished its data science class. Data science is the new buzzword in the tech industry and the code jocks in the Marathahalli class have a singular focus: a job or a leg-up at one of the shiny information technology campuses dotting the city and housing the world's leading tech corporations. Which, they hope, will be a passport to a comfortable salary that will grow in long strides in the years ahead as the use of data in the world economy explodes.


AI is the new electricity, says Coursera's Andrew Ng

#artificialintelligence

No discussion in information technology today is complete without reference to artificial intelligence or AI, in quickspeak. Needless to say, experts in AI are in great demand. Among them, Andrew Ng is often referred to as a go-to guru on AI. He is the co-founder of Coursera, which offers online courses. He is also an adjunct professor at the Stanford University and was formerly the head of Baidu AI Group, and Google Brain.


Opportunity for India to leap ahead of others in AI capabilities

#artificialintelligence

NEW DELHI: India has an opportunity to create a locally designed Artificial Intelligence plan that would work for its needs and help nurture world-dominating companies specialising in this emerging field, say experts. So far, the country is seen as lagging behind the US and China in building capabilities in AI due to the lack of large internet companies that harness data of users. However, growing investments across sectors in building data-based businesses and the recognition by the government to create enabling policies for AI is throwing up opportunity for entrepreneurs. "India could have a very large role to play, all the pieces are in place, it has a great opportunity, and is upto India to either succeed or fail," Andrew NG, one of the most prominent experts of AI told ET. NG, who was the cofounder of Google Brain and is the founder of online learning platform Coursera added that he gets pitch notes from Indian startups.

What can AI do for the future of e-learning?

#artificialintelligence

THE training and development of your workforce is vital to the achievement of digital transformation success for businesses. And today, more and more businesses are leveraging e-learning to educate their employees. The advantages for businesses using online learning platforms as opposed to traditional training methods are bountiful. First, it lowers business costs since one training session can be delivered to multiple people. Second, topics can be broken down into bite-sized chunks, meaning that employees do not need to spend lengthy periods of time away from their desks.
