Bayesian Machine Learning in Python: A/B Testing

@machinelearnbot

This course is all about A/B testing. A/B testing is used everywhere. A/B testing is all about comparing things. If you're a data scientist, and you want to tell the rest of the company, "logo A is better than logo B", well you can't just say that without proving it using numbers and statistics. Traditional A/B testing has been around for a long time, and it's full of approximations and confusing definitions. In this course, while we will do traditional A/B testing in order to appreciate its complexity, what we will eventually get to is the Bayesian machine learning way of doing things.


Report: 59% of employed data scientists learned skills on their own or via a MOOC

@machinelearnbot

The majority of employed data scientists gained their skills through self-learning or a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) rather than a traditional computer science degree, according to a survey from data scientist community Kaggle, which was acquired by Google Cloud earlier this year. Some 32% of full-time data scientists started learning machine learning or data science through a MOOC, while 27% said that they began picking up the needed skills on their own, the 2017 State of Data Science & Machine Learning Survey report found. Some 30% got their start in data science at a university, according to the survey of more than 16,000 people in the field. More than half of currently employed data scientists still use MOOCs for ongoing education and skillbuilding, the report found, demonstrating the potential of these courses for helping people gain real world skills. Data scientist took the no. 1 spot in Glassdoor's Best Jobs in America list in 2016 and 2017, and reports a median base salary of $110,000.

AI for Education: Individualized Code Feedback for Thousands of Students

#artificialintelligence

This post is authored by Matthew Calder, Senior Business Strategy Manager, and Ke Wang, Research Intern at Microsoft. There are more than 9,000 students enrolled in the Microsoft Introduction to C# course on edX.org. Although course staff can't offer the type of guidance available in an on-campus classroom setting, students can receive personalized help, thanks to a project from Microsoft Research. When a student's assignment contains mistakes, that student--within seconds--receives a message specific to their code submission. Beyond just informing the student that their program doesn't work, Microsoft has created a tool which automatically generates feedback that precisely identifies errors and even hints at how to correct them.

Deep learning is a new chapter for every sector: Andrew Ng, Coursera

@machinelearnbot

The co-founder of online education platform Coursera has made it his mission to build talent for AI through his new project, deeplearning.ai. Andrew is preparing courses on deep-learning--advanced AI inspired by the human brain's neural networks--that will be available on Coursera. In an interview with ET's J Vignesh, the former chief scientist at Baidu also spoke about how technology disruption can help countries like India leapfrog and take a lead in the new world. Edited excerpts: How are we progressing towards the concept of singularity, or general intelligence, from sector-specific artificial intelligence? That is hard to project.


Online Learning of Power Transmission Dynamics

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Ensuring stable, secure and reliable operations of the power grid is a primary concern for system operators [1]. Security assessment and control actions heavily rely on the accuracy of the assumed power system model and its parameters and of the estimated state [2]. Thus, inaccuracies in state estimation data or in the networked dynamic model can impact the assessment of the system stability and the efficacy of the corresponding control measures. In this paper, we explore the possibility to leverage the proliferation of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) that collect time synchronous data in a distributed way, for validating the assumed power system model and the current system state. In particular, our goal is to develop a data-efficient learning framework for performing an online reconstruction of the dynamic model using the minimal number of assumptions and exclusively relying on the PMU measurements. A number of recent works showed promising results in attacking this problem [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. Here, we propose to extend the scope of existing works to the problem of extracting the dynamic state matrix from PMU measurements in a purely data-driven way, without assuming any knowledge of model parameters. We take advantage of the separation of scales that exists in the regime of ambient fluctuations around the steady state leading to power system dynamics excited by stochastic load variations.


How to choose effective MOOCs for machine learning and data science?

#artificialintelligence

Bill Gates proclaimed in a recent graduation ceremony, that artificial intelligence (AI), energy, and bio science are three most exciting and rewarding career choices today's young college graduates can choose from. I have come to believe strongly that some of the most important questions of our generation - related to sustainability, energy generation and distribution, transportation, access to basic amenities of life etc., are dependent on how intelligently we can mix the the first two branches of knowledge Mr. Gates mentions. I am a semiconductor professional with 8 years of post-PhD experience in a top technology company. I take pride in the fact that I work in the cross-section of physical electronics which directly contributes to the energy sector. I develop power semiconductor devices.
