I advise my Intro to Data Science students at UCLA to take advantage of Kaggle by first completing the venerable Titanic Getting Started Prediction Challenge, and then moving on to active challenges. Kaggle is a great way to gain valuable experience with data science and machine learning. Now, there are two excellent books to lead you through the Kaggle process. The Kaggle Book by Konrad Banachewicz and Luca Massaron published in 2022, and The Kaggle Workbook by the same authors published in 2023, both from UK-based Packt Publishing, are excellent learning resources. ]]> https://insideainews.com/2023/06/23/book-review-the-kaggle-book-workbook/feed/ 0 32621 https://insideainews.com/2023/06/03/video-highlights-fine-tune-gpt-j-6b-in-under-3-hours-on-ipus/ https://insideainews.com/2023/06/03/video-highlights-fine-tune-gpt-j-6b-in-under-3-hours-on-ipus/#respond Sat, 03 Jun 2023 13:00:00 +0000 https://insidebigdata.com/?p=32512 Did you know you can run GPT-J 6B on Graphcore IPU in the cloud? Following the now infamous leaked Google memo, there's been a real storm in the AI world recently around smaller, open source language models, like GPT-J, that are cheaper and faster to fine-tune, run and perform just as well as larger models for many language tasks. ]]> https://insideainews.com/2023/06/03/video-highlights-fine-tune-gpt-j-6b-in-under-3-hours-on-ipus/feed/ 0 32512 https://insideainews.com/2023/05/12/video-highlights-introduction-to-explainable-ai/ https://insideainews.com/2023/05/12/video-highlights-introduction-to-explainable-ai/#respond Fri, 12 May 2023 13:00:00 +0000 https://insidebigdata.com/?p=32371 Responsible AI is reaching new heights these days.
