Three Kinds of Negation in Knowledge and Their Mathematical Foundations
In the field of artificial intelligence, understanding, distinguishing, expressing, and computing the negation in knowledge is a fundamental issue in knowledge processing and research. In this paper, we examine and analyze the understanding and characteristics of negation in various fields such as philosophy, logic, and linguistics etc. Based on the distinction between the concepts of contradiction and opposition, we propose that there are three different types of negation in knowledge from a conceptual perspective: contradictory negation, opposite negation, and intermediary negation. To establish a mathematical foundation that fully reflects the intrinsic connections, properties, and laws of these different forms of negation, we introduce SCOI: sets with contradictory negation, opposite negation and intermediary negation, and LCOI: logic with contradictory negation, opposite negation and intermediary negation, and we proved the main operational properties of SCOI as well as the formal inference relations in LCOI.

The pandemic helped some children develop their vocabulary
A study of 1400 preschool children in Canada has found that those tested during the covid-19 pandemic did better on several cognitive measures than those assessed before the outbreak began. The team behind these results thinks this is because these children have parents with a relatively high income who may have spent more time with them during the height of the pandemic. Most of the other studies looking at how the pandemic has affected children concluded that it has been overwhelmingly negative. However, these studies almost all looked at social and emotional skills rather than cognitive abilities and at school-age children rather than preschool children, says Mark Wade at the University of Toronto, who was involved in the latest Canadian research. "It isn't necessarily the case that the pandemic has been totally and irreversibly bad for kids," he says.

Top skills to learn to earn a high income
There are many skills to learn to earn high paying jobs, but some are more important than others. In fact, the average salary for a software engineer is over $100,000. It offers an alternative to the traditional client-server architecture that companies use to process their data. Today, many companies are doing their work with a computer that has a server. Cloud computing is a model in which data, services and applications are hosted on the internet instead of just on one server or in one big company.
Using the 'What-If Tool' to investigate Machine Learning models
In this era of explainable and interpretable Machine Learning, one merely cannot be content with simply training the model and obtaining predictions from it. To be able to really make an impact and obtain good results, we should also be able to probe and investigate our models. Apart from that, algorithmic fairness constraints and bias should also be clearly kept in mind before going ahead with the model. Investigating a model requires asking a lot of questions and one needs to have an acumen of a detective to probe and look for issues and inconsistencies within the models. Also, such a task is usually complex requiring to write a lot of custom code.
Why robots should be taxed if they take people's jobs Robert Shiller
The idea of a tax on robots was raised last May in a draft report to the European parliament prepared by MEP Mady Delvaux from the committee on legal affairs. Emphasising how robots could boost inequality, the report proposed that there might be a "need to introduce corporate reporting requirements on the extent and proportion of the contribution of robotics and AI to the economic results of a company for the purpose of taxation and social security contributions". The public reaction to Delvaux's proposal has been overwhelmingly negative, with the notable exception of Bill Gates, who endorsed it. But we should not dismiss the idea out of hand. In just the past year, we have seen the proliferation of devices such as Google Home and Amazon Echo Dot (Alexa), which replace some aspects of household help. Likewise, the Delphi and nuTonomy driverless taxi services in Singapore have started to replace taxi drivers.

Skytree Express: Machine Learning at the Command Line - Skytree
Since the release of Skytree Express, we have been receiving a number of requests for example scripts, tutorials and questions about automation. This tutorial-like blog post will help answer (some of) those questions using a real-world dataset. How can we classify people into high or low income earning group? Such questions are helpful in understanding whom to send a marketing coupon to for an expensive jewelry item vs an offer for cheap gas. To answer this question, we will use the widely available income datasets.
