This book gives clear guidance on how to implement statistical and machine learning methods for newcomers to this field. It's filled with practical real-world examples of where and how algorithms work. For those with an inclination towards R programming, this book even has practical examples in R. In case you're not a programmer, don't let that put you off.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a finance buzzword since 2016 and reports abound on how AI is an integral part of technology budgets, as well as the key technology force that will reshape strategy in coming years. However, AI is not an entirely new to banking as it is made out to be. Various terminologies associated with AI like machine learning, cognitive learning, natural language processing, primarily aimed at bringing intelligence through algorithms. Such processing capabilities have existed in various forms for decades, for e.g., algorithmic trading has its origins in the 1970s' automated trading systems. These have evolved silently across critical functions, and reached such a state of maturity that it is touted to be the next big force in financial technology.

Machine Learning has gradually spread into our lives in different ways. For example, your newly recommended music from Spotify and videos from Netflix. People are talking about machine learning all the time and you might have already hear about it several times in TV shows, news, or even in animations. However you might still be confused about what it really is? Here is a simple quick intro to Machine Learning for non-tech people.

Nintendo have shared a couple of instructional videos on their YouTube channel. The videos present and explain the possibilities of the upcoming Variety and Robot Nintendo Labo kits. Nintendo have announced their Labo kits back in January, and now we have some more info about them thanks to a couple of instructional videos. The home-built kits made out of cardboard will interact with the Switch to make some interesting creations. The three videos were shared on Nintendo Labo's YouTube channel, and they detail the contents of the kits as well as what you can use them for.

URBAN-X, a startup … Read more: URBAN-X's latest startups bring AI to urban roads, floating cameras to the skies

One reason for the focus on lung cancer is because China has one of the highest lung cancer rates in the world. According to Time Magazine, Chines medics predict that over 800,000 annual diagnoses and 700,000 annual deaths can be expected by 2020. An estimated 300 million Chinese people are smokers. China has also a serious issue with hazardous air pollution. Moreover, Forbes has reported there are 80,000 radiologists employed in China, and most of the day-to-day activities of these healthcare professionals, is with the diagnosis of lung cancer.

Is the FHE teaching capability and capacity improving as fast as it should? Some of our knowledge about teaching and learning go back to Greek times and still hold true. But that is not to say that more recent research and technology should be ignored. It is generally accepted that Moore's Law is about the doubling of digital capacity every couple of years (the original Law actually talked about transistor capacity). Although not directly linked to the teaching, the curriculum or success rates, there are perhaps a few lessons that can be taken from the way that improvements and growth in the digital world impacts our ability to make teaching more effective.

From a global wave of automation at every level of industry to a major skills gap driving huge demand for AI talent, businesses across sector lines must begin to develop their AI strategy – today.

Our first cover feature for the month, 'Bridging The AI Skills Gap', will offer real-world insights into how organizations can ensure their workforce don't sink beneath the rising tide of AI, featuring interviews with figures such as Rob McCargow, PwC UK AI Lead, and many more. This is just the start--later in the month, we'll be publishing a second cover feature, 'The Augmented Boardroom', as well as an exclusive interview with one of our VisionAIries.

Some of the niche subjects that will find place in the new syllabus include robotics, artificial intelligence, and automation. Students enrolling for postgraduate programmes offered by Mahatma Gandhi University (MGU) from the 2018-19 academic year have something to cheer about. The varsity had carried out syllabus and curriculum revision for its undergraduate courses in the academic year 2017-18. The syllabus revision will also take into account the research possibilities that students could undertake after postgraduation," he said. The revision of syllabus for postgraduate programmes was previously carried out in 2012.
