Algorithms, Statistics And Data
Modern versions of AI are based on what is called machine learning. These are algorithms that use sophisticated statistical methods to build associations based on some training set of data fed to them by humans. If you have ever solved one of those reCAPTCHA “find the crosswalk” tests, you have helped create and train some machine learning program. Machine learning sometimes involves deep learning, where algorithms represent stacked layers of networks, each one working on a different aspect of building the associations.

Effective machine learning algorithms
Some of the most effective machine learning algorithms beyond deep learning include:
- ‘random forests’ that create multitudes of decision trees to optimise a prediction;
- ‘Bayesian networks’ that use a probabilistic approach to analyse variables ...
Mindfulness And Our Brains
Meditation or mindfulness is not a uniform, unchanging process, but a highly subjective one, having unique effects on different individuals.
New experiments using machine learning dive deep into the brain, breath and body states during the various stages of meditation, hel...
Transfer learning and fine tuning
Transfer learning consists of taking features learned on one problem, and leveraging them on a new, similar problem. For instance, features from a model that has learned to identify racoons may be useful to kick-start a model meant to identify tanukis.
