Coursera – AI For Everyone

https://www.coursera.org/learn/ai-for-everyone

ANI = narrow (single function, self-drive car, smart speaker)
AGI = general (what human can do)
Supervised learning = translation, text transcript, spam filtering, visual inspection [ take input A->output B] (easy things that can be done in less than 1 second)
More data (Big data) + Large neutral network —> good performance & good values
Data  – manual labelling / from observing user & machine behaviour / download from websites & partnerships
IT feed data to AI team —> AI advises IT on data collection. Not all datas collected are valuable, let AI team have a check first!
Data is messy
data problem —> incorrect labels, missing values
Multiple types of data (unstructured data) —> images, audio, text
Machine learning  – field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed [output: software]
Data science – science of extracting knowledge & insights from data [output: PPT]
Deep learning = artificial neutral network
AI company – strategic data acquisition, unified data warehouse, automation, will have Machine Learning Engineer (MLE)
ML works well when (1) simple concept, (2) plenty of data available
Smart speaker AI pipeline
1) trigger word / wake word detection (hey Siri)
2) speech recognition
3) intent recognition —> timer
4) specialised program to execute command
Self-driving car AI pipeline 
1) Image/Radar/Lidar
– Car detection + trajectory prediction
– Pedestrian detection + trajectory prediction
– Lane detection
– Traffic light detection
– Obstacle detection
1) GPS + maps
2) Motion Planning (steer/accelerate/brake)
Roles
Software engineer
Machine learning engineer (A->B mapping)
Machine learning researcher
Data scientist (examine & provide insights)
Data Engineer (organise data)
AI Product Manager
AI limitation
– performance limitation (when data is limited)
– Hard to explain themselves
– Biased AI through biased data
Discrimination/Bias
– Learning unhealthy stereotype from data (e.g. man as computer engineer, woman as homemaker)
– may affect hiring tool, facial recognition
Adversarial attacks on AI
– fool the AI by physical changes (e.g. cannot recognise stop sign once have graffiti)
Adverse uses of AI
– DeepFakes, Oppressive surveillance, generate fake comments

 

2019年5月的一天

終於有時間可以停下來寫寫blog了。忙著忙著,日子就過去了。

原來都沒有好好紀錄的現況。過幾年後又不記得了。

  1. 現在總共64個accounts(痴線咁多,要認識64個朋友都識唔切)。新場33個,營運中部分31個。
  2. 現在是交舖的高峰期,天氣也越來越熱,進場後都變得臉紅耳赤,汗流浹背。
  3. 這兩週最密集。這週5個舖,下週7個舖。在電腦前好好靜下來工作的機會,只有是黃昏5點後了。
  4. 出發前要帶頭盔安全鞋卡片。水和濕紙巾大派用場。
  5. 這麼密集交舖,也要密集地出租約。不幸我被配上了能力有限的同事,在繁忙的工作中更添麻煩。
  6. 出入地盤者,洗澡時也特別給力。
  7. 大家都在水心火熱之中,極大的uncertainty,不合作的合作方,為了五斗米還是盡力了。
  8. 不停聽電話和投訴大會,出入地盤,身心疲累
  9. 幸好歸家路程尚可以接受!

How to Stay Focus

https://hbr.org/2019/05/how-to-stop-worrying-about-what-other-people-think-of-you

  1. guide yourself toward confidence-building statements (I am a good public speaker, I’ve put in the work so that I can trust my abilities, I have a lot of great things to say, I’m completely prepared for this promotion). These statements will help you focus on your skills and abilities rather than others’ opinions.
  2. Take deep breaths, too. This will signal to your brain that you’re not in immediate danger.
  3. Find your personal philosophy
  4. Remember that growth and learning take place when you’re operating at the edge of your capacity. Like blowing up a nearly inflated balloon, living in accordance with your personal philosophy will require more effort and power, but, the result, which is to authentically and artistically express who you are, will push you to live and work with more purpose and meaning.

What is my personal philosophy? =_= I have many favorite quotes but don’t think anyone of them is significant enough to be my “personal philosophy”… the most honest one would be “hea, whenever you can.

  • Take single breath
  • Magnify little pleasure
