Stanford University has invited leading thinkers from several institutions to begin a 100-year effort to study and anticipate how the effects of artificial intelligence will ripple through every aspect of how people work, live and play.
It’s called the AI 100 and we’ll be watching along carefully.

P.S Join us for breakfast on Wednesday with Mike Hyde (Director of Data & Insights Skype.) He’ll be sharing approaches and best practices to hiring high performance data science teams.
Large and complex data sets pose challenges for any organization about to embark on an analytics deployment. But NASA’s example of harnessing data to plan the most complicated of journeys — an expedition to Mars — proves that the challenges are not insurmountable. This article in Tech Crunch shows that with the right tools and, most importantly, a consistent and well-planned approach, data science doesn’t have to be as daunting as rocket science.
Expand your bot’s reach from a single deployment to a cross-platform giant with a single click using the Message.io translation technology. You build it once and they customize it to work across platforms, giving you a single source to deploy, support and update.
ZNet say terms like Data Mining, Predictive Analytics, and Advanced Analytics are considered too geeky or old for industry marketers and headline writers. IBM is pushing the term Cognitive Computing and looks like it could be taking hold.
S. Zayd Enam’s blog beautifully explains why Machine Learning is so hard.
The difficulty involves building an intuition for what tool should be leveraged to solve a problem. This requires being aware of available algorithms and models and the trade-offs and constraints of each one. By itself this skill is learned through exposure to these models (classes, textbooks and papers) but even more so by attempting to implement and test out these models yourself. Read on for advice and generally so you don’t feel so alone.
The task at hand was to develop a classifier that can output a likelihood of any given sentence being “bad” or “good.” For this, they collected a few hundred examples of good and bad sentences, exploring some approaches to build a classifier to discriminate them. Read on to find out more
You can never learn too much. SciKit-Learn is an open source machine learning library for the Python programming language. By learning the ins and outs of pipelines and FeatureUnions it can help data scientists improve their workflow.
