Not just for bots: The changing career landscape in AI
There is a growing realization that as AI expands, certain jobs will die out. But on the other side of this (bit) coin, there is an increasingly urgent need for experts to help build AI models, and for domain experts who are strategic and creative enough to envision ways to use AI in their specialty. In fact, the World Economic Forum reports that the fastest growing skill on LinkedIn is AI...

Visualizing the Loss Landscape of Neural Nets
Given a network architecture and its pre-trained parameters, this tool calculates and visualizes the loss surface along random direction(s) near the optimal parameters. The calculation can be done in parallel with multiple GPUs per node, and multiple nodes. The random direction(s) and loss surface values are stored in HDF5 (.h5) files after they are produced...

Seven Databases in Seven Weeks:
A Guide to Modern Databases and the NoSQL Movement
"A book that tries to cover multiple database is a risky endeavor, a book that also provides hands on on each is even riskier but if implemented well leads to a great package. I loved the specific exercises the authors covered. A must read for all big data architects who don’t shy away from coding..."...
