In a world where privacy seems increasingly rare, machine learning may help create email notification systems that disclose information in a context-sensitive manner.
Researchposted by Kaylen Sanders, ODSC August 8, 2018
Researchers from Northwestern University and Microsoft Research developed machine learning algorithms that predict a user’s comfort with an email notification depending on a given situational context. Today, people may receive anywhere from dozens to hundreds of notifications per day across a variety of connected devices. Contingent on the time... Read more
Using a generative adversarial network, artificial medical images can be created to help train tumor classification models.
Researchposted by Kaylen Sanders, ODSC August 1, 2018
Researchers across NVIDIA, MGH and BWH Center for Clinical Data Science, and the Mayo Clinic devised a method for generating synthetic abnormal MRI images to combat a lack of sufficient training data. A machine learning system can only be as good as the data that it is trained on.... Read more
Through a novel neural network approach, researchers from Korea have enhanced the accuracy of machine comprehension question answering.
Researchposted by Kaylen Sanders, ODSC July 26, 2018
The research team hails from Korea University as well as NCSOFT, a South Korean video game developer. Their newly developed question-aware sentence-gating networks allow for sentence-level information to be taken into account during word-level encoding. The ability for machines to derive meaning from text is no longer some far-off... Read more
Research out of Australia suggests that machine learning can preemptively identify students at risk of low academic achievement.
Researchposted by Kaylen Sanders, ODSC July 24, 2018
Analysts at the University of Adelaide and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation developed a set of classifiers to predict the performance level of a primary school student based on both individual and environmental variables. Over the past two decades, Australia has witnessed a considerable decline in student... Read more
A recent experiment indicates that deep learning methods can estimate the amount of damage caused by a hurricane based on satellite imagery.
Researchposted by Kaylen Sanders, ODSC July 19, 2018
Researchers with the University of Washington worked in tandem with the University’s Disaster Data Science Lab to construct a convolutional neural network that identifies damaged buildings. Satellite imagery has long been used to detect the presence of infrastructure, vehicles, and natural phenomena but has yet to be extensively applied... Read more
Tides of Information Flow: Visualizing Our Digitally-Mediated Reality
BlogResearchData Visualizationposted by Joseph Reisinger, Co-founder - Premise September 10, 2017
I consume a lot of news, especially recently. But often I feel like I have a hard time grasping the shape of it. What is different this time? What am I missing? What have I learned? Where did that other thing go? I’m also interested in maps. So, I... Read more

Prophet is Data Science not Statistics, and there is a Difference
BlogData WranglingModelingNewsResearchMachine Learning|Predictive Analyticsposted by Paul Paczuski July 2, 2017
Facebook’s prophet forecasting tool illustrates the distinction between a traditional statistical approach compared to the newer machine learning/data science paradigm. This distinction is cultural: it seems that the motivation behind prophet was to quickly make accurate forecasts (predictions), instead of getting bogged down in building models satisfying certain theoretical properties, which may or...

Learning in Brains and Machines (1): Temporal Differences
BlogDeep LearningResearchposted by Shakir Mohamed June 22, 2017
We all make mistakes, and as is often said, only then can we learn. Our mistakes allow us to gain insight, and the ability to make better judgements and fewer mistakes in future. In their influential paper, the neuroscientists Robert Rescorla and Allan Wagner put this more succinctly, ‘organisms only learn when... Read more
