Vaddi Keshava Reddy on LinkedIn: Internship on Artificial intelligence
Today this was been my first webinar in my career, so I wanna share my thoughts on #AutonomousVehicles #nvidia AI is the solution to self driving, Everything that will be autonomous The future is autonomous, and the possibilities are limitless. There are some gnarly waves in the topic, so what exactly an autonomous vehicle is and how does it work? Nowadays, AI is transforming the transportation industry without a human at the wheel. . Perception is the most important component of Autonomous vehicles. Mapping and adversal sceneries are the major components in AV.

Proceedings of the 1st International Workshop on Reading Music Systems
Calvo-Zaragoza, Jorge, Hajiฤ, Jan jr., Pacha, Alexander
The International Workshop on Reading Music Systems (WoRMS) is a workshop that tries to connect researchers who develop systems for reading music, such as in the field of Optical Music Recognition, with other researchers and practitioners that could benefit from such systems, like librarians or musicologists. The relevant topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to: Music reading systems; Optical music recognition; Datasets and performance evaluation; Image processing on music scores; Writer identification; Authoring, editing, storing and presentation systems for music scores; Multi-modal systems; Novel input-methods for music to produce written music; Web-based Music Information Retrieval services; Applications and projects; Use-cases related to written music. These are the proceedings of the 1st International Workshop on Reading Music Systems, held in Paris on the 20th of September 2018.
Democratizing Machine Learning for Interdisciplinary Scholars: Report on Organizing the NLP+CSS Online Tutorial Series
Stewart, Ian, Keith, Katherine
Many scientific fields -- including biology, health, education, and the social sciences -- use machine learning (ML) to help them analyze data at an unprecedented scale. However, ML researchers who develop advanced methods rarely provide detailed tutorials showing how to apply these methods. Existing tutorials are often costly to participants, presume extensive programming knowledge, and are not tailored to specific application fields. In an attempt to democratize ML methods, we organized a year-long, free, online tutorial series targeted at teaching advanced natural language processing (NLP) methods to computational social science (CSS) scholars. Two organizers worked with fifteen subject matter experts to develop one-hour presentations with hands-on Python code for a range of ML methods and use cases, from data pre-processing to analyzing temporal variation of language change. Although live participation was more limited than expected, a comparison of pre- and post-tutorial surveys showed an increase in participants' perceived knowledge of almost one point on a 7-point Likert scale. Furthermore, participants asked thoughtful questions during tutorials and engaged readily with tutorial content afterwards, as demonstrated by 10K~total views of posted tutorial recordings. In this report, we summarize our organizational efforts and distill five principles for democratizing ML+X tutorials. We hope future organizers improve upon these principles and continue to lower barriers to developing ML skills for researchers of all fields.
Turn VS Code into a One-Stop Shop for ML Experiments
One of the biggest threats to productivity in recent times is context switching. It is a term originating from computer science but applied to humans it refers to the process of stopping work on one thing, performing a different task, and then picking back up the initial task. During a work day, you might want to check something on Stack Overflow, for example, which normalization technique to choose for your project. While doing so, you start exploring the documentation of scikit-learn to see which approaches are already implemented and how they compare against each other. This might lead to you some interesting comparison articles on Medium or video tutorials on YouTube.
Less Data, More Knowledge: Building Next Generation Semantic Communication Networks
Chaccour, Christina, Saad, Walid, Debbah, Merouane, Han, Zhu, Poor, H. Vincent
Semantic communication is viewed as a revolutionary paradigm that can potentially transform how we design and operate wireless communication systems. However, despite a recent surge of research activities in this area, the research landscape remains limited. In this tutorial, we present the first rigorous vision of a scalable end-to-end semantic communication network that is founded on novel concepts from artificial intelligence (AI), causal reasoning, and communication theory. We first discuss how the design of semantic communication networks requires a move from data-driven networks towards knowledge-driven ones. Subsequently, we highlight the necessity of creating semantic representations of data that satisfy the key properties of minimalism, generalizability, and efficiency so as to do more with less. We then explain how those representations can form the basis a so-called semantic language. By using semantic representation and languages, we show that the traditional transmitter and receiver now become a teacher and apprentice. Then, we define the concept of reasoning by investigating the fundamentals of causal representation learning and their role in designing semantic communication networks. We demonstrate that reasoning faculties are majorly characterized by the ability to capture causal and associational relationships in datastreams. For such reasoning-driven networks, we propose novel and essential semantic communication metrics that include new "reasoning capacity" measures that could go beyond Shannon's bound to capture the convergence of computing and communication. Finally, we explain how semantic communications can be scaled to large-scale networks (6G and beyond). In a nutshell, we expect this tutorial to provide a comprehensive reference on how to properly build, analyze, and deploy future semantic communication networks.

Why Meta Took Down its 'Hallucinating' AI Model Galactica?
On Wednesday, MetaAI and Papers with Code announced the release of Galactica, an open-source large language model trained on scientific knowledge, with 120 billion parameters. However, just days after its launch, Meta took Galactica down. Interestingly, every result generated by Galactica came with the warning- Outputs may be unreliable. Language Models are prone to hallucinate text. "Galactica is trained on a large and curated corpus of humanity's scientific knowledge. This includes over 48 million papers, textbooks and lecture notes, millions of compounds and proteins, scientific websites, encyclopedias and more," the paper said.
How Machine Learning and AI influence Cloud security and governance - Webinar
Security professionals have recently discovered that phishing emails sent by AI are much more likely to be opened than human-written ones for highly targeted attacks. This is just one of many examples many where machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities can be leveraged by cybercriminals to carry out sophisticated cyberattacks. But what if these tools were used against them? During this webinar, discover how ML and AI technologies can be used for security, governance, and threat detection and response.
