There are many resources to help you get started with machine learning and deep learning. From hands-on tutorials highlighting pretrained models to accessible deep learning frameworks, AI practitioners have numerous tools to add to their workflow. However, when scaling up to larger training datasets and deployment scenarios, the path is not always clear. Jason Knight offers an overview of the state of the field for scaling training and inference across distributed systems from a practitioner’s point of view. Along the way, Jason dives deep into available tools, resources, and venues for getting started without having to go it alone.

Deep learning works well when you have large labeled datasets, but not every team has those assets. Paco Nathan offers an overview of active learning, an ML variant that incorporates human-in-the-loop computing. Active learning focuses input from human experts, leveraging intelligence already in the system, and provides systematic ways to explore and exploit uncertainty in your data.

Human in the loop: Bayesian rules enabling explainable AI

November 25, 2019

Pramit Choudhary explores the usefulness of a generative approach that applies Bayesian inference to generate human-interpretable decision sets in the form of "if. . .and else" statements. These human interpretable decision lists with high posterior probabilities might be the right way to balance between model interpretability, performance, and computation.
