Feed: All - O'Reilly Media. Author: Jon Bruner. Framework (source: Pixabay) After several decades as an interest of academic computer scientists and specialized research labs, deep learning is appearing widely in real products. That transition has led to several exciting new deep-learning frameworks that tend to emphasize either rapid prototyping or efficient deployment at scale. For product developers looking to experiment with an idea and then reinforce and deploy it, a single framework that supports both ends of the process is helpful. Apache MXNet, an open-source deep learning framework first published in 2015, aims to achieve exactly that. I recently ... Read More

Feed: Planet big data. Author: Jaco Rossouw. Here's a blog post covering some of the most frequently asked questions we get on Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, or Cognitive Computing. We start off with "What is Machine Learing?" and finish off with addressing some of the fears and misconceptions of Artificial Intelligence. So, what is machine learning? A simple search on Google for the answer will yield many definitions for it that leave most non-analytical people confused and entering more "What is..." statements into Google. So, I asked our Head of Marketing to try his hand at defining Machine Learning in the most ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Vincent Granville. The intelligence in AI is computational intelligence, and a better word could be Automated Intelligence. But when it comes to good judgment, AI is not smarter than the human brain that designed it. Many automated systems perform poorly, to the point that you are wondering if AI is an abbreviation for Artificial Innumeracy,  Critical systems - automated piloting, running a power plant - usually do well with AI and automation, as considerable testing is done before deploying these systems. But for many mundane tasks, such as spam detection, chatbots, ... Read More
