Forbes: Meet These Incredible Women Advancing A.I. Research Since getting her Ph.D. in mathematics from Duke, Rachel Thomas has worked as a quant, data scientist, & backend engineer at Uber, and professor in University of San Francisco’s (USF) Masters of Analytics program. She’s currently a researcher-in-residence at USF’s Data Institute and co-founded Fast.ai, which makes practical deep learning education accessible globally. Thomas’ students have leveraged their knowledge to reduce farmer suicides in India, assist the visually impaired, and treat Parkinson’s disease. When Thomas first started researching deep neural networks a few years ago, virtually no educational resources existed online. “It seemed like…
2016: Played in 17 matches, starting 12 … Recorded two goals as well as dished out an assist on the year … Scored the match winner in a 4-0 home victory over Temple (10/15) … Added a score and distributed an assist in the season-opening, 3-0, win at Fort Wayne (8/29). 2015: Named Academic All-Ohio … Saw the pitch in all 19 matches on the year, starting 11 contests … Scored a pair of goals, while adding an assist … Scored the game-winning goal in a 2-0 decision over Green Bay … Found the back of the net in a…

Andrew Ng is something of a legend in the AI community, and so his launch of an online deep learning course is noteworthy. The course on Coursera is simply called ‘Deep Learning Specialization’ and promises to teach students vital skills for the future. Some of the advanced topics covered include neural networks, backpropagation, convolutional networks, recurrent networks, computer vision, natural language processing, and more. “Just as electricity transformed every major industry starting about 100 years ago, AI is now poised to do the same,” observes Ng. “Several large tech companies have already built divisions dedicated to AI, and have made…

It looked like a perfect mess; noodles and limbs appearing in something approximating a person, but more like a chaotic and uninspiring Vincent Van Gogh painting. The Fresh Prince himself, Will Smith, was somewhat recognisable, but only through his trademark Nineties high-top fade and more modern-era goatee. The clip did not look like a real person. It was not Will Smith eating spaghetti, not really.What it was, however, was a short clip, portraying the pinnacle of publicly available generative AI software in 2023, made on Modelscope’s Text2Video generator and posted on Reddit. Most people had a laugh at it, some…
