Posted by Kevin Zakka, Student Researcher and Andy Zeng, Research Scientist, Robotics at Google People learn to do things by watching others — from mimicking new dance moves, to watching YouTube cooking videos. We’d like robots to do the same, i.e., to learn new skills by watching people do things during training. Today, however, the…
Posted by Sheng Li, Staff Software Engineer and Norman P. Jouppi, Google Fellow, Google Research Continuing advances in the design and implementation of datacenter (DC) accelerators for machine learning (ML), such as TPUs and GPUs, have been critical for powering modern ML models and applications at scale. These improved accelerators exhibit peak performance (e.g., FLOPs)…
Summary In this developer code pattern, we will analyze insurance claims data and determine whether there are any fraudulent claims filed by users. We do this by analyzing data patterns using IBM Db2 Graph. The query extracts claims from the database and analyzes them using the visualization library. Analysts from insurance companies can visually analyze…
Summary In this developer code pattern, we walk you through the basics of creating a streaming application powered by Apache Kafka, one of the most popular open source distributed event-streaming platforms used for creating real-time data pipeline and streaming apps. The application will be built using IBM Streams on IBM Cloud Pak® for Data. Description…
Summary To enable mobile users to leverage IBM Watson® services through a messenger app, complete this developer code pattern and build a framework that can act as an intermediator in connecting Watson services to WhatsApp Messenger. Description There are currently 2.4 billion users on WhatsApp, and the number keeps climbing. For medium and large businesses,…
Summary In this code pattern, learn how to use AutoAI to automatically generate a Jupyter Notebook that contains Python code of a machine learning model. Then, explore, modify, and retrain the model pipeline using Python before deploying the model in IBM Watson® Machine Learning using Watson Machine Learning APIs. Description AutoAI is a graphical tool…
Summary In this code pattern, learn how to use IBM® Watson Knowledge Studio to train a custom machine learning model to drive a decision-making process of identifying dangerous situations. Description Want to develop an application or solution that can reduce the response time of first responders? This code pattern explains how to create a danger…
Note: This code pattern uses Watson Discovery V1 and will not work with Discovery V2. However, you can still use it to learn the Discovery features. Future plans include updating the code pattern to work with Discovery V2. Summary This code pattern explains how to create an application that you can use to search for…
The direct conversion of methane gas to liquid methanol at the site where it is extracted from the Earth holds enormous potential for addressing a number of significant environmental problems. Developing a catalyst for that conversion has been a critical focus for Associate Professor Heather Kulik and the lab she directs at MIT. As important…
imodels: A python package with cutting-edge techniques for concise, transparent, and accurate predictive modeling. All sklearn-compatible and easy to use. Recent machine-learning advances have led to increasingly complex predictive models, often at the cost of interpretability. We often need interpretability, particularly in high-stakes applications such as medicine, biology, and political science (see here and here…
