You have probably noticed that we have changed the format of the newsletter a bit. We would love to obtain your feedback on whether you like this new format or not and any feedback you have. So please feel free to drop us a note in any case. Weβd love to hear fromΒ you.
All right, so letβs get toΒ it.
Machine Learning Cheat Sheet: Google Software Engineer Frank Dai, and many other contributors have compiled a very technical, thorough, and significant machine learning cheat sheet that contains many classical machine learning equations and diagrams. It is instrumental, as it includes a lot of key concepts of ML, along with serving as an asset for machine learning job interviews.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Origin: Back in 1955, a group of researchers launched the AI Project, led by John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester, Claude Shannon, Allen Newell, Herbert Simon, William Kautz and many other prominent scientists. The project was originally called βA Proposal for the Darthmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence,β and was published on August 31 of the same yearβββan exciting piece of technological history to remember.
Can Neural Networks Think?: Recently, a group of DeepMind scientists led by Andrea Banino, Jan Balaguer, and Charles Blundell published a scientific paper called βPonderNet: Learning to Ponder,β that talks about a new algorithm that lets neural networks βponderβ or βthink for a whileβ before making decisions on complex tasksβββanalogous to how both humans and computers think.
Creating Art from Text: You may already be familiar with the remarkable project by Open AI, called DALL-E, which showcases how a neural network can generate images from text. But, how about art? Charlie Snell, an undergrad researcher at Berkeley AI, recently published a blog on βAlien Dreams: An Emerging Art Scene,β which talks in-depth about how art can be created with different types of models, such as CLIP, DALL-E, VQ-Gan, StyleGAN, etc.βββgiving light to the milestones in the evolution of CLIP-based generative art.
Data Science Job Market Trends: We have updated our work on data science job market trends, where we take a deep dive and showcase the most crucial skills needed nowadays to land a data role in 2021 based on over 3000 data-related jobs postings. If thereβs anything that youβd like to see, weβd love your feedback.
