Introducing Deepchecks - Tests for Continuous Validation of ML Models & Data $ pip install deepchecks -U --user Deepchecks is a Python package for comprehensively validating your machine-learning models and data with minimal effort. This includes checks related to various types of issues, such as model performance, data integrity, distribution mismatches, and more. While you're in the research phase and want to validate your data, find potential methodological problems, and/or validate your model and evaluate it. What Do You Need in Order to Start? Depending on your phase and what you wish to validate, you'll need a subset of the following: Raw data (before pre-processing such as OHE, string processing, etc.), with optional labels The model's training data with labels Test data (which the model isn't exposed to) with labels A supported model that you wish to validate, including: scikit-learn, XGBoost, PyTorch, and more.
Jobs
With our Intensive 8-Week Summer Internship Program, we take in university students with relevant interests in the field of biotechnology, biomedical imaging, genomics, machine learning and AI. Students will work with experienced researchers and practitioners. They will focus on small feasible research projects or start-up related activities.
How To Convert Data Science And Machine Learning Internships Into Jobs
Vin Vashishta, data science and machine learning strategist recently observed via LinkedIn that most organisations who look for PhD-level candidates usually end up using basic techniques like regression and decision trees for structured data. For these jobs, coding skills required are minimum and the result is often a report or visualisation. Vashishta poses a relevant question -- why are we still asking for a Master's or PhD with over three years of experience for an entry level position? Data science interns usually demonstrate an eager learning ability most sought after by recruiters and startup founders who are keen on seeing the passion behind the project. Vashishta strongly urges organisations and businesses to hire more entry level talent instead of leaning towards mere bigger degree holders for their data science needs.
Lawyer-bots are shaking up jobs
Meticulous research, deep study of case law, and intricate argument-building--lawyers have used similar methods to ply their trade for hundreds of years. But they'd better watch out, because artificial intelligence is moving in on the field. As of 2016, there were over 1,300,000 licensed lawyers and 200,000 paralegals in the U.S. Consultancy group McKinsey estimates that 22 percent of a lawyer's job and 35 percent of a law clerk's job can be automated, which means that while humanity won't be completely overtaken, major businesses and career adjustments aren't far off (see "Is Technology About to Decimate White-Collar Work?"). In some cases, they're already here. "If I was the parent of a law student, I would be concerned a bit," says Todd Solomon, a partner at the law firm McDermott Will & Emery, based in Chicago.
25th Anniversary Issue
I claim that achieving real human-level artificial intelligence would necessarily imply that most of the tasks that humans perform for pay could be automated. Rather than work toward this goal of automation by building special-purpose systems, I argue for the development of general-purpose, educable systems that can learn and be taught to perform any of the thousands of jobs that humans can perform. Joining others who have made similar proposals, I advocate beginning with a system that has minimal, although extensive, built-in capabilities. These would have to include the ability to improve through learning along with many other abilities. The long-term scientific goal for many artificial intelligence (AI) researchers continues to be the mechanization of "human-level" intelligence--even though reaching that goal may be many years away.
Artificial Intelligence, Employment and Income
Artificial intelligence (AI) will have many profound societal effects It promises potential benefits (and may also pose risks) in education, defense, business, law, and science In this article we explore how AI is likely to affect employment and the distribution of income. I am grateful for the helpful comments provided by many people Specifically I would like to acknowledge the advice teceived from Sandra Cook and Victor Walling of SRI, Wassily Leontief and Faye Duchin of the New York University Institute for Economic Analysis, Margaret Boden of The University of Sussex, Henry Levin and Charles Holloway of Stanford University, James Albus of the National Bureau of Standards, and Peter Hart of Syntelligence Herbert Simon, of Carnegie-Mellon Univetsity, wrote me extensive criticisms and rebuttals of my arguments Robert Solow of MIT was quite skeptical of my premises, but conceded nevertheless that my conclusions could possibly follow from them if certain other economic conditions were satisfied. There are two opposing views in response to this question Some claim that AI is not really very different from other technologies that have supported automation and increased productivity-technologies such as mechanical engineering, ele&onics, control engineering, and operations rcsearch. Like them, AI may also lead ultimately to an expanding economy with a concomitant expansion of employment opportunities. At worst, according to this view, thcrc will be some, perhaps even substantial shifts in the types of jobs, but certainly no overall reduction in the total number of jobs.

Today a robot can do the jobs of 10 workers. Steel mills are less dangerous. Sorting machines have made the movement of goods more efficient. New cars are turned out in much quicker fashion--all because of technological advances. Organized labor understands that, but, like [Dexter] Cato, feels left out of the discussion.
A.I. and Big Data Could Power a New War on Poverty
When it comes to artificial intelligence and jobs, the prognostications are grim. The conventional wisdom is that A.I. might soon put millions of people out of work -- that it stands poised to do to clerical and white collar workers over the next two decades what mechanization did to factory workers over the past two. And that is to say nothing of the truckers and taxi drivers who will find themselves unemployed or underemployed as self-driving cars take over our roads. But it's time we start thinking about A.I.'s potential benefits for society as well as its drawbacks. The big-data and A.I. revolutions could also help fight poverty and promote economic stability.
Is your job really at risk of being taken over by AI?
While IT companies unionize and protect themselves, opinions about the impact of AI are rather sharply divided. There are plenty who fear the coming algorithmic wave. For example, Infosys ex-CEO Vishal Sikka, when talking about AI and automation in March this year, said, "If we sit still, there is absolutely no doubt that our jobs are going to be wiped out by AI. Sixty to 70 percent over the next 10 years--or maybe less than 10 years--of the jobs that we do today are going to be replaced by AI...unless we continue to evolve ourselves."
