These are my sketchnotes for Sam Charrington’s podcast This Week in Machine Learning and AI about Reproducibility and the Philosophy of Data with Clare Gollnick: Sketchnotes from TWiMLAI talk #121: Reproducibility and the Philosophy of Data with Clare Gollnick You can listen to the podcast here. In this episode, i’m joined by Clare Gollnick, CTO of Terbium Labs, to discuss her thoughts on the “reproducibility crisis” currently haunting the scientific landscape. For a little background, a “Nature” survey in 2016 showed that more than 70% of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Dr. Shirin Glander. Since I migrated my blog from Github Pages to blogdown and Netlify, I wanted to start migrating (most of) my old posts too – and use that opportunity to update them and make sure the code still works. Here I am updating my very first machine learning post from 27 Nov 2016: Can we predict flu deaths with Machine Learning and R?. Changes are marked as bold comments. The main changes I made are: using the tidyverse more consistently throughout the analysis focusing on comparing multiple imputations from the mice package, rather than comparing ... Read More

Feed: All - O'Reilly Media. Author: Neil Sahota. Outside the box (source: Pixabay) Check out “AI: A Force for Good” at the Artificial Intelligence Conference in New York City, April 29-May 2, 2018. What do artificial intelligence (AI), invention, and social good have in common? While on the surface they serve very different purposes, at their core, they all require you to do one thing in order to be successful at them: think differently. Take the act of inventing—in order to develop a great patent, trade secret, or other intellectual property, you need to think outside of the box. Similarly, ... Read More

In our next MünsteR R-user group meetup on Monday, June 11th, 2018 Thomas Kluth and Thorben Jensen will give a talk titled Look, something shiny: How to use R Shiny to make Münster traffic data accessible. You can RSVP here: http://meetu.ps/e/F7zDN/w54bW/f About a year ago, we stumbled upon rich datasets on traffic dynamics of Münster: count data of bikes, cars, and bus passengers of high resolution. Since that day we have been crunching, modeling, and visualizing it. To involve local stakeholders and NGOs (e.g., the IG Fahrradstadt Münster), we found the R Shiny framework ... Read More

Feed: Big Data Made Simple - One source. Many perspectives.. Author: Baiju NT. For a very long time, women working in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math were unwelcome and underappreciated. Take for example the story of Katherine Johnson and her colleagues, who made remarkable contributions to the early years of NASA’s space program. The world had not even heard of her name until two years ago, when the movie, Hidden Figures, hit the screens. Sadly, it is still a man’s world in the STEM fields, and women struggle every day to find a strong foothold in it ... Read More

There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”Dr. Seuss “Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem — neat, plausible, and wrong.”H L Mencken In this 6th instalment of ‘Deep Learning from first principles in Python, R and Octave-Part6’, I look at a couple of different initialization techniques used in Deep Learning, L2 regularization and the ‘dropout’ method. Specifically, I implement “He initialization” & “Xavier Initialization”. My earlier posts in this series of ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Thinking inside the box. Welcome to the eighteenth post in the rarely riveting R ramblings series of posts, or R4 for short. The Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL) is well-know high(er) performance math library tailored for Intel CPUs offering best-in-class numerical performance on a number of low-level operations (BLAS, LAPACK, …). They are not open source, used to be under commerical or research-only licenses — but can now be had (still subject to license terms you should study) via apt-get (and even yum). This page describe the installation of the MKL (and other components) in detail (but ... Read More
