AI, Machine Learning and Data Science Roundup: August 2018

This is an eclectic collection of interesting blog posts, software announcements and data applications I've noted over the past month or so. ONNX Model Zoo is now available, providing a library of pre-trained state-of-the-art models in deep learning in the ONNX format. In the 2018 IEEE Spectrum Top Programming Language rankings, Python takes the top spot and R ranks #7. Julia 1.0 has been released, marking the stabilization of the scientific computing language and promising forwards compatibility. Google announces Cloud AutoML, a beta service to train vision, text categorization, or language translation models from provided data.
