Machine learning Definition and 79 Threads

hello everyone anyone knows if this research is made? imagine you have available the data from the kepler telescope to search exoplanet, create a training set of data based on the concept of find exo planet , calculate their orbit and try to design the virtual exo solar sistem , understand the...

Hi I am a computer science undergraduate planning to do a master's degree in computational science(scientific computing) winter 2018. Since I have a bachelor's degree in computer science, I want to prepare before I apply for a degree. As of now I am following basic mathematics from A level...

What kind of jobs are available in the field of deep learning? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_learning

When I opened up the article https://www.wired.com/2017/01/move-coders-physicists-will-soon-rule-silicon-valley/ I expected to see quantum computing as the next field physicists are to revolutionize. I was surprised to see it was data management and machine learning. I am happy for physicists...

I am doing a Masters in theoretical physics. It's been half a year since I've begun my Masters. Recently, I find myself intrigued by machine learning and would like to do a PhD in machine learning after I finish my Masters in theoretical physics. I am rather afraid to break it to my supervisor...

I am currently trying to learn pattern recognition from Pattern Classification by Duda et al. However, this books is a bit too dense for me. I keep hitting walls while trying to read the books (I understand most of the reasoning, but it just becomes too much and too abstract). Can anybody...

A very interesting blog post (from @hossi). A program that helps sorting arXiv submissions into categories frequently struggles with crackpot submissions - because they do not fit in anywhere. The program was never designed for it, but is helps finding them.

Hi What approach should I take if I want to try this with music? I know the mathematics that are needed to learn neural networks (from what I have read on websites like Coursera). Also, I know basic scientific programming with Python. I am willing to spend time to learn how to make the...

I am not sure this is the right forum for this -- I have a question about a particular paper: http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~sboriah/PDFs/ChandolaCBK2009.pdf The authors describe 4 heuristics that can be derived from categorical data -- this is in order to map categorical data to numerical...

I have a question about machine learning and the binaries/executables of programs. I'm not really understanding well how machine learning and programs are related. For instance in computer chess or go, they use machine learning (deep learning) to "train a model" or something like that, the more...

My only dream in life is to develop a robot that has common sense and wisdom and pretty much be as smart as a human that can help society solve ISIS, food shortages etc. So I am choosing Computer Science next year for university. Though I have heard that doing the degree purely is too dry and...

HI everyone. I was just wondering about a career in the IT (I study communication systems engineering, but I'm rather interested in coding, rather than Internet and communcation systems- related stuff). I wanted to ask you, given the advances that technology is making, which skills would be...

Hi everyone. By reading stuff on the Internet, I found many times the correlation between machine learning and NMR, or, better, algorithms that are implemented for that kind of technology( The same goes for PET, or CT scans. The thing I want to ask is, how much do you think that the two things...

Hi everyone. I was just reading stuff about carreers like "data analyst" or "machine learning jobs", and I found out, by reading various sites, that machine learning people (especially those with CS or stat background) is, and will be, a good opportunity of working, there'll be much jobs in that...

I am a high school student and an avid learner through MOOCs. This spring, there are two MOOCs coming up which caught my interest- one on AI from UC Berkeley(Dan Klein) and the other on Machine Learning from Stanford(Andrew Ng). Though I am inclined towards the Berkeley course, I wanted to get...

I'm a second year student and I've been researching about machine learning. I'd like to start learning more, and I'm wondering if someone could advise me on the appropriate modules to take which would help me in this goal. List of modules: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/maths/courses/undergraduates/ For...

I am going through the tutorial athttp://scikit-learn.org/stable/tutorial/index.html Could anyone recommend a good book that could accompany this so I can gain a deeper understanding of the methods discussed.

"famous" math problems in machine learning and AI ? Are there any "famous"(i.e. crucial) unsolved mathematical problems in the field of machine learning or the general study of artificial intelligence? There is interest in programming computers to solve problems by artificial intelligence...

Hello, I have an undergraduate degree in EE and I have a passion for mathematics. I'm trying to decide if I should do a masters in signal processing or machine learning. What are the pros and cons of each given the way the industry is? (I live in Bangalore, the tech capital of India, where...

From an article published on the Atlantic ( http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2013/11/the-man-who-would-teach-machines-to-think/309529/ ) : "The technique is called “machine learning.†The goal is to make a device that takes an English sentence as input and spits out a French...

Hi all, I recently got very interested in machine learning and neural networks etc. Although I am having a taste for mathematics , I haven't rigorously learned any mathematics course because my background is electronics engineering (masters level). And also I am not a good C or Java...

It seems that for a machine to learn, it must have intelligence. :confused:

Hey! Happy New Year 2013 to all of you! I am in good mood for learning something new so I need advice. I'm currently watching the videos for Machine learning from Stanford University, but I'm stuck at Lagrangian multipliers and duality. I got solid background in Calculus I and II (I read...

I'm working my way through pattern recognition and machine learning using this http://www.cs.pitt.edu/~milos/courses/cs2750/ as a guide.Homework Statement We have to prove that a binomial random variable x, with a prior distribution for \mu given by a beta distribution, has a posterior mean...

Hi, I am working on a project that involves classifying many 'situations' where there are some number of objects and the objects can be defined by the makeup and weighting of their parameters. There are probably 200-2000 parameters per object, 1 to 100 objects and hundreds of situations...

This seems to be the new 'it' job in the tech sector and I'm considering getting into this line of work, but because it seems relatively new I'm having trouble finding out what it's like to work as a data scientist. The two things I'm somewhat concerned about is if the work is interesting or...

Hi everyone, My name is Marlon and I'm a maths major from New Zealand. Recently, I've been very interested in machine learning. The research and potential sounds very exciting to me and I would definitely love to learn more about the subject. So I have two questions and would be very...

Hi all, I'm considering doing a masters in either signal processing or machine learning. I have a bachelor's in electrical and electronic engineering, and have a bit of experience (internships mostly) in both industry and research. I was wondering if there are a lot of career opportunities...

Hello, I'm wondering what sort of areas would be useful in postgrad study in machine learning and AI. At the moment I'm in Arts majoring in mathematics and logic/philosophy of science. I'm planning to keep these two majors, as statistics and discrete mathematics will be useful in AI/machine...
