Stabilized Sparse Online Learning for Sparse Data

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Modern datasets pose many challenges for existing learning algorithms due to their unprecedented large scales in both sample sizes and input dimensions. It demands both efficient processing of massive data and effective extraction of crucial information from an enormous pool of heterogeneous features. In response to these challenges, a promising approach is to exploit online learning methodologies that performs incremental learning over the training samples in a sequential manner. In 1 an online learning algorithm, one sample instance is processed at a time to obtain a simple update, and the process is repeated via multiple passes over the entire training set. In comparison with batch learning algorithms in which all sample points are scrutinized at every single step, online learning algorithms have been shown to be more efficient and scalable for data of large size that cannot fit into the limited memory of a single computer. As a result, online learning algorithms have been widely adopted for solving large-scale machine learning tasks (Bottou, 1998). In this paper, we focus on first-order subgradient-based online learning algorithms, which have been studied extensively in the literature for dense data.


Machine Learning - Stanford University Coursera

#artificialintelligence

About this course: Machine learning is the science of getting computers to act without being explicitly programmed. In the past decade, machine learning has given us self-driving cars, practical speech recognition, effective web search, and a vastly improved understanding of the human genome. Machine learning is so pervasive today that you probably use it dozens of times a day without knowing it. Many researchers also think it is the best way to make progress towards human-level AI. In this class, you will learn about the most effective machine learning techniques, and gain practice implementing them and getting them to work for yourself.


Resources to get up to speed in NLP โ€ข r/LanguageTechnology

@machinelearnbot

I'm a software engineer with 10 years of experience who recently decided to switch my focus to machine learning. I did the coursera course and did CS231n: Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Recognition, read up on basic theory, did some image processing networks like VGG, Resnets and most recently trying to get Faster-RCNN to work, so my currently knowledge is ML basics and heavily focussed on ML in the Image domain. I recently landed my first ML job at a company that does mostly NLP, so I lack a lot of knowledge in that domain. I'm currently reading the NLTK book, which has been very approachable in introducing basic concepts in a code-focussed way. So I was wondering if anyone could point me to some good mid to advanced level resources (online courses/videos/books) to get up to speed with where the field is at now, to help me understand current research and more advanced concepts?

Previously, I had started this conversation with the saying "I am not a Geek, but I need a job tooโ€ฆ". Here is why: Technological anxiety (oh yes, it is a thing). I don't want to be a victim of the inevitable wave of "robots taking over our jobs" which is a simplistic explanation for the impact of advancements in technology in the workplace. The idea that half of today's jobs may vanish has changed my view of my children's future.

How Will Artificial Intelligence Change Education and Work?

#artificialintelligence

A new report titled "Artificial Intelligence and Life in 2030" explores the role of AI in various aspects of society and considers implications for our future. The increasing personalization of learning due to intelligent systems and the skills likely required for jobs in an AI filled future are important to consider. "While formal education will not disappear, the Study Panel believes that MOOC's and other forms of online education will become part of learning at all levels, from K-12 through university, in a blended classroom experience. This development will facilitate more customizable approaches to learning, in which students can learn at their own pace using educational techniques that work best for them. Online education systems will learn as the students learn, supporting rapid advances in our understanding of the learning process. Learning analytics, in turn, will accelerate the development of tools for personalized education."

Data visualisation & machine learning courses among most valued today - Times of India

#artificialintelligence

BENGALURU: The humongous amount of digital data being generated, and companies' need to glean insights and make predictions from them have made skills in data visualisation, data science, and machine learning among the most valued for technology recruiters today. This is reflected in the number of working professionals signing up for specialised courses in these spaces. Candidates who complete the courses tend to get between 20% and 50% increase in salaries. Kashyap Dalal, chief business officer at online learning platform Simplilearn, says that big data and analytics courses were the big growth drivers in the past three years. While data science continues to remain popular, accounting for 30% of all learners, courses on visualisation tools and machine learning have become very attractive over the past six months, he said.
