Machine Learning Web3 Blockchain Newsletter Feb-March 2022
It's growing, but the number of pytorch developers in the world is still small compared to programming languages like Python, JavaScript. It is not too late to join! And it's not too late to join Web3. We find machine learning and data knowledge is also useful when applied to web3, blockchain. Web3 is the next evolution of web apps and decentralized apps (dapp), contents and user interactions.
Improving Students Performance in Small-Scale Online Courses -- A Machine Learning-Based Intervention
Azimi, Sepinoud, Popa, Carmen-Gabriela, Cucić, Tatjana
The birth of massive open online courses (MOOCs) has had an undeniable effect on how teaching is being delivered. It seems that traditional in class teaching is becoming less popular with the young generation, the generation that wants to choose when, where and at what pace they are learning. As such, many universities are moving towards taking their courses, at least partially, online. However, online courses, although very appealing to the younger generation of learners, come at a cost. For example, the dropout rate of such courses is higher than that of more traditional ones, and the reduced in person interaction with the teachers results in less timely guidance and intervention from the educators. Machine learning (ML) based approaches have shown phenomenal successes in other domains. The existing stigma that applying ML based techniques requires a large amount of data seems to be a bottleneck when dealing with small scale courses with limited amounts of produced data. In this study, we show not only that the data collected from an online learning management system could be well utilized in order to predict students overall performance but also that it could be used to propose timely intervention strategies to boost the students performance level. The results of this study indicate that effective intervention strategies could be suggested as early as the middle of the course to change the course of students progress for the better. We also present an assistive pedagogical tool based on the outcome of this study, to assist in identifying challenging students and in suggesting early intervention strategies.
Master Machine Learning techniques by building 20 mini projects!
You may take anywhere between 6-8 months to complete this course. Expected time commitment is 8-10 hours per week. Prior programming experience & OOPS concepts in any language is a must, knowledge of Python is recommended but not mandatory. You may try out out our Python for Developers course for strengthening your Python Concepts. You should be familiar with Git-Github basics.
Machine Learning: A Guide to Mastery - Machine Philosopher
Have you ever thought about how you could master the hot topic of machine learning? "If people new how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all" – Michelangelo I was inspired to write this article after reading the book "Mastery" by Robert Greene. It has to be one of my favorite books now and has taught me many things about the people who achieve mastery of their craft/area within their lifetimes such as Mozart, Faraday and Darwin. Many would say you can't become a master of its ever-changing nature. You don't see a guitar changing its amount of strings every few years, but I still don't think it is impossible to master a topic like this since even though it has been around for a while, advancements in it have been slow up until now.
