1. How Social Robots Help Reduce Stress and Loneliness In Child Patients

What do a smartphone, a kick scooter and a pet have in common? When combined and powered by artificial intelligence, they become new members of the household – social companion robots. They can do a boatload of things from guarding the house and doing chores to babysitting and teaching kids to keeping company to the older adults or those with health issues.

2. AI: Explain It Like I Suck At Math (ELISAM)

You hear it all the time. AI Is exciting, AI will change our lives, but also Terminators are coming.

4. Here’s How Libratus, a Poker-Playing AI, Bluffed Four Professional Texas Holdem Players

The world of technology is changing at a faster rate than we can possibly fathom. Long gone are the days when we were the sole trailblazers in a human-tech relationship when the incentive resided in our hands.

5. Deepmind May Have Just Created the World's First General AI

Gato from DeepMind was just published! It is a single transformer that can play Atari games, caption images, chat with people, control a real robotic arm, and more! Indeed, it is trained once and uses the same weights to achieve all those tasks. And as per Deepmind, this is not only a transformer but also an agent. This is what happens when you mix Transformers with progress on multi-task reinforcement learning agents.

6. How Genetic Algorithms Can Compete with Gradient Descent and Backprop

We will train a simple neural network to solve the OpenAI CartPole game using a genetic algorithm, PyTorch, and PyGAD.

7. How Photonic Processors Will Save Machine Learning

Quick introduction of LightOn, aka how photonic processors will save machine learning

8. Reinforcement Learning: 'Practice Makes a Machine Perfect'

Reinforcement learning is the fastest growing branches of machine learning. Embark your RL journey by getting a soft introduction to reinforcement learning now.

9. Building a Metaverse For Everyone

10. Reinforcement Learning: A Brief Introduction to Rules and Applications

The brain of a human child is spectacularly amazing. Even in any previously unknown situation, the brain makes a decision based on its primal knowledge. Depending on the outcome, it learns and remembers the most optimal choices to be taken in that particular scenario. On a high level, this process of learning can be understood as a ’trial and error’ process, where the brain tries to maximise the occurrence of positive outcomes.

11. Deciphering Reinforced Learning for Hybrid Controls in Robots

Recently, when I was watching the Terminator: Dark Fate (By the way, I was disappointed with the whole reboot kind of thing, for me, Judgement Day was the ultimate Terminator movie).

12. Practical Examples of Using ML in Cybersecurity

In this era, technology has become a basic necessity due to its compactness and handiness. This alleviation in the use of technology has also welcomed new problems. One of the most crucial issues is security. Devices contain personal and critical data which is usually misused if it is not secured. This is why the functioning of cybersecurity uses Machine language and Artificial Intelligence. It implements protection tools to create a wall between user and hacker.

14. Reinforcement Learning [Part 2]: The Q-learning Algorithm

Learning how to find the optimal q-value can produce significant improvements in a ML-algorithm's ability to learn both in terms of speed and quality.

15. Using Reinforcement Learning to Build a Self-Learning Grasping Robot

Tips and tricks to build an autonomous grasping Kuka robot

16. SpaceBok: A Robot that 'Walks' in Space

SpaceBok, a quadruped robot, uses nature’s tactics for space exploration. The robot isn’t graded for space yet but is ready for some exciting experiments.

17. Develop Chatbots for Learning Reinforcement

Chatbots are a powerful way to teach and learn, and this course shows you how to build them from scratch.

18. Using Optuna to Search for Tiny RL Policies

Using Optuna, the hyperparameter optimization library to search for tiny RL policies! The code used is open-source on Github.

19. Where next? After SVMs, CNNs and Word Embeddings

The plethora of knowledge involved in Machine Learning is the most fabulous thing about the subject. The theoretical and coding balance requires a steady and disciplined approach. In this five series tutorial, we saw CNNs, where we saw various approaches to different scenarios, and then worked on word embeddings, which was our gateway to Natural Language Processing, and finally ended with Support Vector Machines(SVMs) which were as powerful as Artificial Neural Networks, during the time of their inception.

20. How AI is Rocking the Finance Industry

The financial market has evolved from what it used to be. There are a lot of redundant pictures stuck in the heads of everyone who are not a part of it and do not know how far it has come. The financial technology sector has accelerated its development during the last two decades and has created opportunities for people to trade from all across the world utilizing either their home computers, tablets, or even smartphones.

21. Reinforcement Learning - The Value Function

Codes and demo are available. This article explores what are states, actions and rewards in reinforcement learning, and how agent can learn through simulation to determine the best actions to take in any given state.

22. How Machines Beat Humans at Everything

Data scientists have created AI that can beat the best human players in most games, thanks to a technique called reinforcement learning.

23. 7 Must-Read Generative Models Papers from ICLR 2020

The International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) took place last week, and I had a pleasure to participate in it. ICLR is an event dedicated to research on all aspects of representation learning, commonly known as deep learning.

24. Reinforcement Learning: 10 Real Reward & Punishment Applications

In Reinforcement Learning (RL), agents are trained on a reward and punishment mechanism. The agent is rewarded for correct moves and punished for the wrong ones. In doing so, the agent tries to minimize wrong moves and maximize the right ones.

25. What is Machine learning and Why is it Important?

Machine learning is quite an exciting field to study and rightly so. It is all around us in this modern world. From Facebook’s feed to Google Maps for navigation, machine learning finds its application in almost every aspect of our lives.

26. Reinforcement Learning Course: Part 1

Let’s walk this beautiful path from the fundamentals to cutting edge reinforcement learning (RL), step-by-step, with coding examples and tutorials in Python.

27. Use Beta Distribution and Thompson Sampling to Beat The Multi-armed Bandit at the Casino

As a logical person at the casino. you want to put your money on the machine with the maximum expected return. This is the origin of the multi-armed bandit problem. We will cover the two most basic concept here: Beta distribution and Thompson sampling.

Beta Distribution

28. The ICLR 2020 Conference: Reinforcement Learning Papers Demystified

Last week I had a pleasure to participate in the International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR), an event dedicated to the research on all aspects of representation learning, commonly known as deep learning. The conference went virtual due to the coronavirus pandemic, and thanks to the huge effort of its organizers, the event attracted an even bigger audience than last year. Their goal was for the conference to be inclusive and interactive, and from my point of view, as an attendee, it was definitely the case!
