My Journey from Frustration to Computer Vision Mastery

#artificialintelligence

The realm of computer vision and artificial intelligence is a fascinating one, filled with incredible possibilities and groundbreaking applications. When I first delved into this world, I was brimming with excitement and eager to explore the depths of this technology, hoping to create something awe-inspiring. However, I soon realized that my journey was not going to be an easy one. My journey began with a series of visits to GitHub repositories, hoping to find answers to my computer vision questions. But instead of finding clarity, I found myself lost in a maze of code, unable to decipher the enigma of each repository.

Amesite » University Presidents: You Can Spearhead Professional Learning that Drives Revenue

#artificialintelligence

The higher education sector requires an infusion of revenue – and fast. The average aggregate decline in revenues across 2020 and 2021 is estimated at a dramatic 14%, totaling a whopping $183 billion in lost revenue by the beginning of 2021 [1]. To survive, universities must innovate and leverage a market that has a high demand for education at this time-- the alumni market. Alumni markets are 20x the size of undergraduate markets [2]. If your university is not leveraging its relationship with alumni, it is losing substantial potential revenue.


Machine Learning

#artificialintelligence

In this era of big data, there is an increasing need to develop and deploy algorithms that can analyze and identify connections in that data. Using machine learning (a subset of artificial intelligence) it is now possible to create computer systems that automatically improve with experience. This technology has numerous real-world applications including robotic control, data mining, autonomous navigation, and bioinformatics. This course features classroom videos and assignments adapted from the CS229 graduate course as delivered on-campus at Stanford in Autumn 2018 and Autumn 2019. In order to make the content and workload more manageable for working professionals, the course has been split into two parts, XCS229i: Machine Learning and XCS229ii: Machine Learning Strategy and Intro to Reinforcement Learning.


Machine Learning Strategy and Intro to Reinforcement Learning

#artificialintelligence

NOTE: This course is a continuation of XCS229i: Machine Learning. Though not strictly required, it is highly recommended to take XCS229i before enrolling in XCS229ii, as assignments assume knowledge of topics in the first course. As machine learning models grow in sophistication, it is increasingly important for its practitioners to be comfortable navigating their many tuning parameters. Through video lectures and hands-on exercises, this course will equip you with the knowledge to get the most out of your data. You will learn the concepts and techniques you need to guide teams of ML practitioners.


7 data science certifications to boost your resume and salary

#artificialintelligence

At the end of August, Glassdoor had more than 53,000 job postings that mention machine learning (ML) and 20,000 jobs that include data science with salaries ranging from $50,000 to more than $180,000. More and more companies are making data analysis and machine learning central to new product development and future revenue opportunities. Big tech companies as well as independent tech organizations offer training programs for people who are new to data science as well as professionals who want to master the newest technology. Each program on this list of the best courses online for data science will expand your expertise and add a valuable line item in the form of a data science certification to your resume. IBM offers this program on Coursera, which is taught by company employees.


Microsoft launches entry-level software development and AI courses

#artificialintelligence

Microsoft today launched two new courses in its online education program for developers: an entry-level software development class and an AI course for more advanced developers who want to expand their knowledge of machine learning. It's no secret that there aren't enough data scientists and machine learning developers available to fulfill the current demand. It's no surprise, then, that a number of large companies have started to teach the fundamentals of these disciplines to their existing employees; starting today, anybody can take the AI courses that Microsoft first developed for its own employees. The Microsoft Professional Program for Artificial Intelligence is available for free on edX.org, though you can also opt to pay for a certificate. Each course runs three months and starts at the beginning of the quarter. Unsurprisingly, there's a bit of a focus on Azure and Microsoft's Cognitive Services here (and you need an Azure account), but otherwise the course is agnostic to the operating system you run.


Leading the charge

#artificialintelligence

Data science is transforming many industries, from health care to banking to heavy manufacturing, and women are leading the charge. That was the crux of the Cambridge Women in Data Science Conference, held March 5 as part of a global event launched by Stanford University in 2015 to educate, inspire, and connect women in tech. The local conference, now in its second year, was hosted by the Institute of Applied Computational Science (IACS) at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences; the MIT Institute for Data, Systems, and Society; and Microsoft. Distinguished speakers from academia and industry presented technical talks to more than 240 female technologists, researchers, and students, highlighting research in such areas as deep learning applications in oncology, data science tools for pollution monitoring, and the challenges of preventing bias in algorithms. In addition, local winners of an international datathon/kaggle challenge, held in conjunction with Stanford's global conference were announced, and students presented posters and took advantage of networking and recruiting opportunities.
