Learn To Build Scala Apps From Scratch Udemy

@machinelearnbot

The constant need for smarter technology that learns and grows with you has become crucial, even when it comes to writing software code. This includes programming languages that understand and learn with you as you continue to write. Scala is one of the most impressive programming languages currently in the market. In order to deal with the shortcomings of Java language and restrictions that did not give the developer to do what he wanted, Scala was invented by Martin Odersky in 2001. According to Scala website, the programming language allows developers to have the best of both worlds – object oriented programming and functional programming.



AI will crown the world's first trillion-dollar company

@machinelearnbot

By now, everyone has heard of artificial intelligence: It populates our Facebook feeds and powers the virtual assistants we keep around our homes, including Amazon's Alexa and Apple's Siri. Perhaps you found this article through a Google search or a news aggregator app, which is also powered by AI. The average consumer interacts with AI multiple times every day -- despite a HubSpot survey that indicates that 63% of consumers don't even realize they have used AI -- but not everyone understands the full impact the technology will ultimately have on our economy. The founders of up-and-coming AI startups are poised to build multibillion-dollar enterprises. In fact, the immense value of AI technology is likely to spawn the world's first trillion-dollar companies -- a feat that tech giants like Amazon, Apple and Alibaba are racing to achieve.


Advanced Linear Models for Data Science 2: Statistical Linear Models Coursera

@machinelearnbot

Welcome to the Advanced Linear Models for Data Science Class 2: Statistical Linear Models. This class is an introduction to least squares from a linear algebraic and mathematical perspective. Before beginning the class make sure that you have the following: - A basic understanding of linear algebra and multivariate calculus. After taking this course, students will have a firm foundation in a linear algebraic treatment of regression modeling. This will greatly augment applied data scientists' general understanding of regression models.


Computational Neuroscience Coursera

@machinelearnbot

This course provides an introduction to basic computational methods for understanding what nervous systems do and for determining how they function. We will explore the computational principles governing various aspects of vision, sensory-motor control, learning, and memory. Specific topics that will be covered include representation of information by spiking neurons, processing of information in neural networks, and algorithms for adaptation and learning. We will make use of Matlab/Octave/Python demonstrations and exercises to gain a deeper understanding of concepts and methods introduced in the course. The course is primarily aimed at third- or fourth-year undergraduates and beginning graduate students, as well as professionals and distance learners interested in learning how the brain processes information.


Free Book: Applied Stochastic Processes

@machinelearnbot

If you look at chapter 5 (six degrees of separation) it applies to Youtube videos as well, in the sense that there is a path involving no more than six links from any Youtube video to any other one. Using a recursive algorithm for (automated) crawling is not a good idea though, as explained in chapter 5. Also, some videos are somewhat disconnected from the vast majority of Youtube videos. For instance, can you start with a video of the Beatles, and end up after any amount of browsing, discovering a machine learning video? Maybe not, and it means that the Youtube graph is not fully connected, and you need a number of seed videos from each connected component when doing your browsing, in order to retrieve all of them.

AI with Pyramids of Self Programmable Gates

@machinelearnbot

For more information or to get higher pictures resolution, contact the author (see contact information at the bottom of this article.) This is a different approach to solve the AI problem. It is a cognitive math based on pyramids built with self-programming logic gates through learning. A Boolean polynomial associated with a given truth table can be implemented with electronic logic gates. These circuits have pyramidal structures. Then I built pyramids accomplishing the generic form for any of these problems. Although I can choose the balance between pure logic and pure memory in which they operate, in general, always I prefer to use the maximum cognitive power mathematically possible. The result is an algorithmic that makes you feel as teacher in front of another human infinitely intelligent who learns looking for the logic that might exist in the patterns (input, output) fed in training.


Google's chief economist thinks the world needs more data scientists – Quartz

@machinelearnbot

Not that long ago, the concept of "Big Data" was pretty abstract. Few companies considered it feasible to sift through huge sets of data looking for speculative insights. The hurdles to collecting and analyzing information at scale were large, tied to the cost of setting up a data warehouse and buying expensive analysis software. Also, data to supplement company-owned information was expensive and hard to come by. Cloud computing from companies like Amazon and Microsoft eliminate the need for a data warehouse.


Why you need to improve your training data, and how to do it

@machinelearnbot

Andrej Karpathy showed this slide as part of his talk at Train AI and I loved it! Academic papers are almost entirely focused on new and improved models, with datasets usually chosen from a small set of public archives. Everyone I know who uses deep learning as part of an actual application spends most of their time worrying about the training data instead. There are lots of good reasons why researchers are so fixated on model architectures, but it does mean that there are very few resources available to guide people who are focused on deploying machine learning in production. To address that, my talk at the conference was on "the unreasonable effectiveness of training data", and I want to expand on that a bit in this blog post, explaining why data is so important along with some practical tips on improving it. As part of my job I work closely with a lot of researchers and product teams, and my belief in the power of data improvements comes from the massive gains I've seen them achieve when they concentrate on that side of their model building.
