5 AI advices you need to implement, from TODAY: DeepMind CoFounder

Data Science and Artificial Intelligence fans, this might be a good day for you. Google DeepMind Cofounder gives a teenage AI fan pieces of advice, and I think you should know that too!

Some artificial intelligence specialists at organizations like Google and Facebook are currently acquiring more cash than venture financiers at Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan.

These specialists additionally have the benefit of working in a field of technology that is ready to majorly affect the world we live in.

Be that as it may, for some individuals, it's not clear how to approach landing a job in AI.

This week, 17-year-old Londoner Aron Chase asked Shane Legg — the chief scientist and cofounder of DeepMind, an AI lab acquired by DeepMind for a reported £400 million — for five pieces of advice for an AI enthusiast like himself.

"Hey Shane I’m currently 17 from London England and am very passionate about AI, also learning about in-depth human needs. What would be the 5 pieces of advice and tips you would give to a young person like me?"

To Chase's surprise, Legg replied, telling him to learn linear algebra well, calculus to an ok level, theory and stats to a good level, the basics in theoretical computer science, and how to code well in Python and C++. He also encouraged him to read and implement machine learning papers, and to "play with stuff!".

Now, that's personally great for Artificial intelligence enthusiasts who want to begin their journey in this field.

Personally, coding in C++ really essential because most of the frameworks are built upon this fast language. Be it Tensorflow, PyTorch, MlPack or anything at all, they all utilize the speed C++ offers. Moreover, the requirement of math is pretty obvious. (This is a statement which you will get a hang of the moment you enter your study of K Nearest Neighbors (In Machine Learning) or Deep Learning forward propagation (in Deep Learning).

As for getting the hang of implementing Machine Learning papers, I still have to do it myself, so can't say about that :P

Anyways, that's all for this post, Do pay heed to this advice!

Kaggle Dataset Analysis : Is your Avocado organic or not?

Hey readers! Today, allow me to present you yet another dataset analysis of a rather gluttony topic, namely Avocado price analysis. This Data set represents the historical data on avocado prices and sales volume in multiple US markets. Our prime objectives will be to visualize the dataset, pre-process it and ultimately test multiple sklearn classifiers to checkout which one gives us the best confidence and accuracy for our Avocado's Organic assurance! Note : I'd like to extend the kernel contribution to Shivam Negi . All this code belongs to him. Data Visualization This script must procure the following jointplot While a similar joint plot can be drawn for conluding the linearly exponent relations between extra large bags and the small ones. Pre Processing The following script has been used for pre processing the input data. Model Definition and Comparisons We will be looking mostly at three different models, namely ra...

Tackling MNIST Dataset : Deep Convolutional Neural Network 99.571% accurate

Hey there! My dear readers. Today this kernel review is going to be about the famous MNIST data-set, one of the most famous introductory datasets which we encounter along side Iris dataset and the titanic survival challenge data sets. Since it is a competition kernel, I have decided not to make it public. (yet) Also, if you want to try your hands at the challenge itself, then you can find the challenge page here : Note: This kernel has been largely focused on network modelling rather than Exploratory Data Analysis because it's simple, classic stuff. Still, I will try my best to explain that stuff here. Exploratory Data Analysis First indication of a great dataset is the face that it gives all the mentioned labels equal rows in it and this one doesn't disappoint. This data set maintains a fair 4000+ entries per label which actually is a great statistic for a good dataset. And the next thing one needs to know is how...

Datasets by Microsoft Research now available in the cloud : Microsoft announces open Datasets!

Hey Readers, today I bring forth an exciting news for you all aspiring data scientists and machine learners! Something new happened in Microsoft Research Blog : The Microsoft Research Outreach team has worked extensively with the external research community to enable adoption of cloud-based research infrastructure over the past few years. Through this process, we experienced the ubiquity of Jim Gray’s fourth paradigm of discovery based on data-intensive science – that is, almost all research projects have a data component to them. This data deluge also demonstrated a clear need for curated and meaningful datasets in the research community, not only in computer science but also in interdisciplinary and domain sciences. Today we are excited to launch Microsoft Research Open Data – a new data repository in the cloud dedicated to facilitating collaboration across the global research community. Microsoft Research Open Data, in a single, convenient, cloud-hosted ...
