AI Researcher Ng Launches $175 Million Investment Fund

U.S. News

Ng's the co-founder of online education platform Coursera who's led AI teams at Google and Baidu. He says his background will help prioritize projects with the most potential, saving founders six months of development time otherwise lost explaining their idea. He's also tapping his personal network for leads: The fund, simply called AI Fund, isn't taking pitches from entrepreneurs.


International Leadership and Organizational Behavior Coursera

@machinelearnbot

About this course: Leaders in business and non-profit organizations increasingly work across national borders and in multi-cultural environments. You may work regularly with customers or suppliers abroad, or be part of a globally dispersed cross-functional team, or an expatriate manager on an international assignment. You may be a member of a global online community, or a development aid worker collaborating with an international network of partner organizations. In all of these contexts, your effectiveness as a leader depends on how well you understand and are able to manage individual and collective behaviors in an intercultural context. In this course โ€“ together with a team of Bocconi expert faculty and Bocconi alumni โ€“ we'll explore the theory and practice of international and intercultural leadership and organizational behavior.


How AI Could Help the Public Sector

#artificialintelligence

Last Thanksgiving, I watched my father-in-law evaluate over one hundred exams for the high school class he teaches on the U.S. government. They were mostly short answer questions: matching different provisions of the U.S. Constitution, and explaining the contents of the Bill of Rights. The grading was tedious and time consuming, and took him hour after hour during what should have been a holiday. I started to wonder whether there could be a faster way. Automatic computer grading could do exactly that, learning from previous answers and getting better as it goes -- and it is already being used in some universities and for large online courses (MOOCs).


Machine Learning for Apps Udemy

#artificialintelligence

MACHINE LEARNING FOR APPS Welcome to the most comprehensive course on Core ML, one of Apples hot new features for iOS 11. The goal with Machine Learning is to mimic the human mind. It can be used to identify things like objects or images, make predictions and even analyze and identify speech. Dive in and learn the core concepts of machine learning and start building apps that can think! In this course you going to learn everything you need to know to start building more intelligent apps and your own ML Models.


Advanced R Udemy

@machinelearnbot

This course is intended for R and data science professionals aiming to master R. Intermediate and advanced users, will both find that this course will separate them from the rest of people doing analytics with R. We don't recommend this course on beginners. We start by explaining how to work with closures, environments, dates, and more advanced topics. We then move into regex expressions and parsing html data. We explain how to write R packages, and write the proper documentation that the CRAN team expects if you want to upload your code into R's libraries. After that we introduce the necessary skills for profiling your R code.


Udacity's 'flying car' engineering course starts next month

Engadget

Flying cars have always been a goalpost of the future, but last year companies like Toyota, Airbus, DeLorean and Volvo's parent company invested in or announced plans to get their own units flying soon. If you wanted to get in on the ground floor of tomorrow's transportation, you might try joining the first class of'flying car engineers' in a new nanodegree program at Udacity fronted by Sebastian Thrun, the former leader of Google's self-driving car program. Thrun has quite a pedigree as a founder of Udacity himself along with the Kitty Hawk prototype flying'car,' but the rest of the course's instructors are likewise impressive. They include MIT professor Nicholas Roy, founder of the Alphabet-backed Project Wing whose drones air-delivered burritos to Australians last October; Aerospace professor at University of Toronto Angela Schoellig; And lastly the founder of Kiva Systems (now Amazon Robotics), Raffaello D'Andrea. The course itself aims to educate engineers on both robotics and aerospace concepts to understand particular demands of'flying cars.'


Virtual Reality And Artificial Intelligence Now Hold The Future Of Education

#artificialintelligence

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) were supposed to bring a revolution in education. But they haven't lived up to the expectations. We have been putting educators in front of cameras and shooting video -- just as the first TV shows did with radio stars, microphone in hand. This is not to say the millions of hours of online content are not valuable; the limits lie in the ability of the underlying technology to customise the material to the individual and to coach. That is about to change, though, through the use of virtual reality, artificial intelligence and sensors.


Self-driving car expert offer online degree in flying cars

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Self-driving car pioneer Sebastian Thrun has shifted his gaze to the skies, as his Silicon Valley online school Udacity launches what it calls the first'nanodegree' in flying car engineering. With companies from Airbus and Amazon to Uber throttling up development of their own autonomous aerial vehicles, Thrun believes'in a few years time, this will be the hottest topic on the planet.' As usual, Thrun intends to be on the cutting edge of this emerging technology. Self-driving car pioneer Sebastian Thrun has shifted his gaze to the skies, as his Silicon Valley online school Udacity launches what it calls the first'nanodegree' in flying car engineering You can now learn how to build a flying car in just four months thanks to a new $400 (ยฃ295) online course. Online education provider Udacity, also owned by Sebastian Thrun, has announced two new'nanodegrees' teaching users to make driverless or flying vehicles.


Practical Data Analysis and Visualization with Python

#artificialintelligence

The main objective of this course is to make you feel comfortable analyzing, visualizing data and building machine learning models in python to solve various problems. This course does not require you to know math or statistics in anyway, as you will learn the logic behind every single model on an intuition level. Yawning students is not even in the list of last objectives. Throughout the course you will gain all the necessary tools and knowledge to build proper forecast models. And proper models can be accomplished only if you normalize data.
