#artificialintelligence

This Professional Certificate is for anyone who wants to develop job-ready skills, tools, and a portfolio for an entry-level data engineer position. Throughout the self-paced online courses, you will immerse yourself in the role of a data engineer and acquire the essential skills you need to work with a range of tools and databases to design, deploy, and manage structured and unstructured data. By the end of this Professional Certificate, you will be able to explain and perform the key tasks required in a data engineering role. You will use the Python programming language and Linux/UNIX shell scripts to extract, transform and load (ETL) data. You will work with Relational Databases (RDBMS) and query data using SQL statements.


Can Population-based Engagement Improve Personalisation? A Novel Dataset and Experiments

arXiv.org Machine Learning

This work explores how population-based engagement prediction can address cold-start at scale in large learning resource collections. The paper introduces i) VLE, a novel dataset that consists of content and video based features extracted from publicly available scientific video lectures coupled with implicit and explicit signals related to learner engagement, ii) two standard tasks related to predicting and ranking context-agnostic engagement in video lectures with preliminary baselines and iii) a set of experiments that validate the usefulness of the proposed dataset. Our experimental results indicate that the newly proposed VLE dataset leads to building context-agnostic engagement prediction models that are significantly performant than ones based on previous datasets, mainly attributing to the increase of training examples. VLE dataset's suitability in building models towards Computer Science/ Artificial Intelligence education focused on e-learning/ MOOC use-cases is also evidenced. Further experiments in combining the built model with a personalising algorithm show promising improvements in addressing the cold-start problem encountered in educational recommenders. This is the largest and most diverse publicly available dataset to our knowledge that deals with learner engagement prediction tasks. The dataset, helper tools, descriptive statistics and example code snippets are available publicly.

Developing The Most In-Demand Skills For The Future Of Work

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, automation โ€“ as well as less technologically-driven disruptions such as pandemics โ€“ mean the way our children and grandchildren are working will look very different to how we work today. We don't even have to look that far ahead to see change on a dramatic scale. It's been predicted that 85% of the jobs that will be available in 2030 don't yet exist! Factors such as the widespread shift to remote working, the emergence of the gig economy, and employees' increasing expectations of flexibility in their relationship with their employers will also play their part. Adding seismic shifts such as the great resignation into the mix means companies are frantically searching for new strategies when it comes to hiring and retaining talent.


Andrew Ng announces a new ML specialisation on Coursera

#artificialintelligence

Andrew Ng's DeepLearning.AI, in partnership with Stanford Online, recently announced a new Machine Learning Specialisation course on Coursera. This beginner-friendly program will teach you the fundamentals of machine learning and how to use these techniques to build real-world AI applications. The 3-course program is a new version of Ng's pioneering machine learning course, taken by over 4.8 million learners since 2012. The program provides a broad introduction to modern machine learning, including supervised learning (multiple linear regression, logistic regression, neural networks, and decision trees), unsupervised learning (clustering, dimensionality reduction, recommender systems), and some of the best practices used in Silicon Valley for artificial intelligence and machine learning innovation. The new Machine Learning Specialization by @DeepLearningAI_ & @StanfordOnline is now available on @Coursera!

DeepLearning.AI TensorFlow Developer

#artificialintelligence

If you are a software developer who wants to build scalable AI-powered algorithms, you need to understand how to use the tools to build them. This course is part of the upcoming Machine Learning in Tensorflow Specialization and will teach you best practices for using TensorFlow, a popular open-source framework for machine learning. In Course 2 of the deeplearning.ai TensorFlow Specialization, you will learn advanced techniques to improve the computer vision model you built in Course 1. You will explore how to work with real-world images in different shapes and sizes, visualize the journey of an image through convolutions to understand how a computer "sees" information, plot loss and accuracy, and explore strategies to prevent overfitting, including augmentation and dropout.


Mathematics for Machine Learning

#artificialintelligence

This intermediate-level course introduces the mathematical foundations to derive Principal Component Analysis (PCA), a fundamental dimensionality reduction technique. We'll cover some basic statistics of data sets, such as mean values and variances, we'll compute distances and angles between vectors using inner products and derive orthogonal projections of data onto lower-dimensional subspaces. Using all these tools, we'll then derive PCA as a method that minimizes the average squared reconstruction error between data points and their reconstruction. At the end of this course, you'll be familiar with important mathematical concepts and you can implement PCA all by yourself. If you're struggling, you'll find a set of jupyter notebooks that will allow you to explore properties of the techniques and walk you through what you need to do to get on track.


Data Analysis with Python

#artificialintelligence

Learn how to analyze data using Python. This course will take you from the basics of Python to exploring many different types of data.
