""" Let's Put Those Least Squares Tools Into A Python Class """ Once we have that nice set of linear algebra and least squares set of tools, wouldn't it be nice to put that into a machine learning module that uses a convenient Python class? That's what this PDF shows you how to do. As always, I HOPE you will try to do this on your own first, and compare what you do to what I've done. You might very well like what you come up with better than mine. I love it when that happens for someone.


How Nasdaq is using data and machine learning to raise the bar on financial services

#artificialintelligence

Demand for instant access to financial data from investors and traders around the world has shaken up the financial services industry, and Nasdaq, a pioneer in digitizing the trading process, continues to innovate for customers seeking mobile-first, real-time, mission-critical analytics. Its approach involves embracing the cloud, data and analytics, and an API-first mindset. The global exchange operator, which encourages greater market participation and innovation as vital to the health of the global economy, was one of the early innovators in providing its clients with a wide variety of financial data and analytics. In 2008, Nasdaq partnered with AWS to provide different Nasdaq programs and data access via the cloud, first with Nasdaq Market Replay, followed by Data-on-Demand. Over the years, the company has delivered additional data services through the cloud, including last year's NextGen Solutions package and Nasdaq Cloud Data Service, further extending its reach as a provider of technology and analytics services.


Trump economic adviser dismisses fears of looming recession

The Japan Times

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, NEW JERSEY – President Donald Trump's top economic adviser is playing down fears of a looming recession after last week's sharp drop in the financial markets and predicting the economy will perform well in the second half of 2019. Larry Kudlow said in Sunday television interviews that consumers are seeing higher wages and are able to spend and save more. "No, I don't see a recession," Kudlow said. Let's not be afraid of optimism." A strong economy is key to Trump's reelection prospects.


The Morning After: Qualcomm wins a round vs. Apple

Engadget

While we take a look back at some highlight stories this week out of SXSW, there's a trial result in Apple v. Qualcomm, and a presidential candidate's past is quite relevant to our interests. Oh, and we rode in the Model Y. Almost forgot about that. That's one way to do it.Fan While you wouldn't mistake it for an official remaster, using AI Gigapixel's neural networks on old Deep Space 9 video provides a considerably cleaner, sharper look than the 480p original without introducing visual artifacts. This is just one of several cases going on between the two companies.Jury decides Apple violated three Qualcomm patents in iPhones Following a two-week trial, a jury has determined that Apple violated three Qualcomm patents in some iPhones.


Adthena raises $14 million to analyze ad campaigns with AI

#artificialintelligence

Marketers are increasingly using AI to streamline workflows and automate monotonous tasks. According to an Adobe survey, about 15 percent of agencies are already using some form of machine learning, and 31 percent are planning to adopt it by the end of 2019. London-based Adthena is hoping to lure some of those soon-to-be customers with its AI-driven search marketing intelligence platform. Roughly seven years after its founding and a year after it established a presence in the U.S., the company is today announcing that it has raised $14 million in a series A funding round led by Updata Partners, bringing its total venture capital raised to $18.1 million. Founder and CEO Ian O'Rourke says the funds will be used to accelerate the company's stateside and global growth and to "strengthen" product development as it prepares to launch new channels.


AI will be a game change but is business prepared?

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence is the next key game changer for business, but Irish companies are not as prepared for AI as global business, a new survey has revealed. Almost half of Irish chief executives believe AI will have a bigger impact on the world than the internet revolution, yet half of them are planning AI initiatives in their companies, compared to 77% of chief executives globally. This was one of the key findings of PwC's 2019 Irish CEO survey. "If you look at the global survey, a lot of that awareness or that belief that AI will significantly change how we do business is coming from the US," Feargal O'Rourke, Managing Partner with PwC Ireland, explained. "They are probably just getting an earlier line of sight of the impact of AI, but I think Irish CEOs are certainly waking up to it. Almost two thirds of CEOs believe that it will significantly change how they do business in the next five years, but yet only half of them have plans in place to address this, so there is a bit of a gap there," Mr O'Rourke said.

The Construction Industry in the 21st Century

Communications of the ACM

The construction of New York's Empire State Building is often seen as the figurative and literal pinnacle of construction efficiency, rising 1,250 feet and 102 stories from the ground to its rooftop spire in just over 13 months' time, at a human cost of just five lives. Indeed, most of today's construction projects would be lucky to come close to that level of speed, regardless of the building's size. While the construction industry traditionally has been slow to change the way it operates, several new technologies are poised to usher in a new era of faster and more automated construction practices. Three-dimensional (3D) printing is among the key technologies that are expected to change the way structures are built in the future, as construction engineers and contractors seek methods for completing buildings more quickly, more efficiently, and, in many cases, with a greater attention paid to sustainability. Large printers that can print construction materials such as foam or concrete into specific shapes can drastically speed up the creation of walls, decorative or ornamental pieces, and even certain structural elements.


How a healthcare data scientist can aid in value-based care

@machinelearnbot

In 2015, Congress made a big change in the way healthcare providers are reimbursed. Instead of the previous fee-for-service model that paid providers for each service performed, reimbursement would now be provided based on the quality of care provided -- a concept known as value-based care. AI in healthcare goes beyond IBM Watson. In this e-guide, discover 4 uses for AI in healthcare – particularly how it can help improve patient engagement – and whether we can overcome security and interoperability concerns surrounding the technology.
