Swift for TensorFlow Design Overview

Swift for TensorFlow provides a new programming model for TensorFlow – one that combines the performance of graphs with the flexibility and expressivity of Eager execution, while keeping a strong focus on improved usability at every level of the stack. In order to achieve our goals, we scope in the possibility of making (carefully considered) compiler and language enhancements, which enables us to provide a great user experience.

Introduction to Decision Tree Learning

From Kaggle to classrooms, one of the first lessons in machine learning involves decision trees. The reason for the focus on decision trees is that they aren’t very mathematics heavy compared to other ML approaches, and at the same time, they provide reasonable accuracy on classification problems.

New A.I. application can write its own code

Designing applications that can program computers is a long-sought grail of the branch of computer science called artificial intelligence (AI). The new application, called Bayou, came out of an initiative aimed at extracting knowledge from online source code repositories like GitHub. Users can try it out at askbayou.com.

Why data scientists should start learning Swift

One week into my first year physics course at the University of Michigan, a professor assigned a problem set that required simulating some many-body system. It was due Friday. That was the week I learned my first programming language, Matlab.

United Kingdom Plans $1.3 Billion Artificial Intelligence Push

The U.K. government said Thursday that part of its multi-year AI investment–about £300 million, or more than $400 million–would come from U.K.-based corporations and investment firms and those located outside the country.

What Happens When a Self-driving Car Is at Fault?

In the eyes of insurers, today’s self-driving vehicles are treated no differently than conventional cars when they’re involved in a collision, according to Maureen Brown of Munich Reinsurance America, a firm that insures a number of companies testing autonomous vehicles. And states that allow companies to test self-driving vehicles require them, as with human drivers, to have insurance. Every autonomous Uber vehicle, for example, is covered by commercial auto liability insurance that covers bodily injury (including death) and property damage.
