Getting Value from Machine Learning Isn’t About Fancier Algorithms — It’s About Making It Easier to Use

Getting Value from Machine Learning Isn’t About Fancier Algorithms — It’s About Making It Easier to Use | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Machine learning can drive tangible business value for a wide range of industries — but only if it is actually put to use. Despite the many machine learning discoveries being made by academics, new research papers showing what is possible, and an increasing amount of data available, companies are struggling to deploy machine learning to solve real business problems. In short, the gap for most companies isn’t that machine learning doesn’t work, but that they struggle to actually use it.

How can companies close this execution gap? In a recent project we illustrated the principles of how to do it. We used machine learning to augment the power of seasoned professionals — in this case, project managers — by allowing them to make data-driven business decisions well in advance. And in doing so, we demonstrated that getting value from machine learning is less about cutting-edge models, and more about making deployment easier.

Repl.it lets you program in your browser | #Programming #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

No matter whether you are a seasoned programmer or you simply want to take your first steps in writing code, Repl.it wants to help you get from idea to result as fast as possible — without complicated installs and setup procedures getting in your way.

The Y Combinator-funded project, which released version 1.0 of its service this week, gives you an easy to use programming environment in the browser, which slowly reveals its complexity as you write your code.

 

The acronym REPL stands for read-eval-print loop and basically provides a programmer with an interactive programming environment. Unsurprisingly, that’s exactly what Repl.it gives you, too, and with 200,000 weekly active developers on the platform already, there is clearly a demand for this service.

 

Repl.it  already supports virtually every programming language you can think of, no matter whether that’s JavaScript, Python, PHP or QBasic, as well as popular frameworks like Django, Ruby on Rails and Sinatra. And if you want to hurt yourself and write in Brainfuck, you can do that, too.

Raspberry Pi powered by Arduino: Now you can program the Pi using Arduino Sketches

Raspberry Pi powered by Arduino: Now you can program the Pi using Arduino Sketches | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

The new feature will allow Pi owners to write Arduino Sketches to interact with sensors, motors, electronic boards and other hardware attached to the Pi's GPIO pins.

Arduino Sketches can now be used to program the Raspberry Pi, marking a moving together of two of the biggest maker platforms.
The cloud-based Arduino Create platform is designed to simplify the creation of Internet of Things applications.
Want to use the $35 Raspberry Pi computer to build your own hardware but only ever used Arduino boards? Well you're in luck.

If you know how to write programs to control hardware using Arduino boards you can now use the same language to control hardware attached to the Pi, the co-founder of the Arduino Project Massimo Banzi announced yesterday.

Banzi revealed a new feature in the cloud-based Arduino Create service that will compile Arduino Sketches — programs typically used to interact with Arduino boards and attached hardware — into a form that can be run on a Raspberry Pi.

The feature will allow Pi owners to write Arduino Sketches to interact with sensors, motors, electronic boards and other hardware attached to the Pi's GPIO pins.

"The idea is there's a tonne of people that know how to use Arduino and they can take their knowledge and apply it to this," Banzi told the Embedded Linux Conference 2018 in Portland in the US.

Arduino Blog » You can now use Arduino to program Linux IoT devices | #Coding #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #PracTICE #LEARNingByDoing  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Today, at Embedded Linux Conference 2018, Arduino announced the expansion of the number of architectures supported by its Arduino Create platform for the development of IoT applications. With this new release, Arduino Create users can manage and program a wide range of popular Linux® single-board computers like the AAEON® UP² board, Raspberry Pi® and BeagleBone® as if they were regular Arduino boards. Multiple Arduino programs can run simultaneously on a Linux-based board and interact and communicate with each other, leveraging the capabilities provided by the new Arduino Connector. Moreover, IoT devices can be managed and updated remotely, independently from where they are located.

To further simplify the user journey, Arduino has also developed a novel out-of-the-box experience for Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone boards, in addition to Intel®  SBCs, which enables anyone to set up a new device from scratch via the cloud without any previous knowledge by following an intuitive web-based wizard. Arduino plans to continue enriching and expanding the set of features of Arduino Create in the coming months.

The classroom of the future, according to the world’s best teachers

By Global Teacher Prize | March 2nd 2018

In many parts of the world, today’s classrooms are almost unrecognisable compared to those of a decade ago.

Technology is changing the way students learn and teachers teach. From interactive white boards replacing chalk boards to tablets replacing desktop computers, schools are becoming increasingly digital.

Looking ahead to 2030, greater internet connectivity and smarter technologies promise to radically reshape the classroom of the future.

We asked the Global Teacher Prize 2018 Finalists to share their views on how they feel the classroom will change in the coming decade, and what this means for the role of the teacher.

What do you think will be the biggest difference between the classroom of 2030 and the classroom of today?

Many of our Finalists predict that the trend of young people effectively teaching themselves will continue.

Groupthink: What Makes You Think Others Know Better? | #SocialMedia #CriticalTHINKing #SoftSkills

Groupthink: What Makes You Think Others Know Better? | #SocialMedia #CriticalTHINKing #SoftSkills | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

We see a post on social media, read an article in the paper, listen to opinions in a meeting, hear the results of a poll, and before you know it, we adjust our views and jump on the bandwagon with everyone else. It’s as if we say, “If it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for me.” No questions asked. Groupthink: what makes you think others know better?

We are dramatically affected by the people around us. In fact, we tend to do things simply because others do them, rather than follow our own beliefs or think for ourselves. That’s fine if we’re kind, eat healthy, or read more because our friends and colleagues influence us to act that way. But this phenomenon can also compel us to do things against our own best interest — if we’re not careful.

Even though being part of a group provides comfort and security it doesn’t guarantee that your group will always think intelligently; in fact, their reasoning may be deeply flawed. That’s why you should think carefully before you end up destroying your credibility and your reputation. It’s important to consider whether the messenger is credible, the information is accurate, the rationale is logical, and the intentions are honorable.

 

The alternative is to follow the group blindly — and assume that other members did their homework.

When your ears hear one thing, but your eyes see another…use your brain.

Big Data Driven Smart Transportation: the Underlying Story of IoT Transformed Mobility 

Big Data Driven Smart Transportation: the Underlying Story of IoT Transformed Mobility  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Growing of smart IoT has generated many major impacts on transportation development, of which one underlying big story is the thriving of big data driven smart transportation nowadays. We are moving from IT to data technology (DT) time, and we are entering a “results driven” era in transportation. As the front and center of the smart IoT transformed mobility, transportation data sets grow rapidly while they are increasingly gathered from more connected sensors, devices, actuators in real-world applications. In 2016, over 823.0 million air trip passengers were reported by U.S. airlines and over 25 million public transit trips was generated daily.  

 

The data traffic associated with mobility and transportation is estimated to be roughly 0.6 exabytes every month by 2020 (about 9 percent of total US wireless data traffic), and will grow to 9.4 exabytes every month by 2030. Although the quantity of the data available is indeed large, that is not the most striking characteristic of “big data” in the smart IoT era concerning transportation. The challenge in big data driven transportation rarely refers to the large volume or size of data; rather, it often refers to extracting value from data with certain innovative methods, i.e. how to analyze the data and to gather meaningful insights that can be used to inform decisions makers.

Many concurrent novel technologies and employments have emerged within the big data driven smart mobility ecosystem, emanating from the transportation needs of different stakeholders for better safety, reliability, sustainability, and automation.

For public transportation, big data analytics have transformed both the plan and operations phases on planning and demand modeling, predictive maintenance, and event response. New big data tech-savvy has brought more personalized services to public transportation users, such as offering ancillary services to providing recommendations about additional destinations to visit as part of an upgrade to the passenger’s journey, etc.

 

The big data driven smart public transportation influences both automated and human decision-making, which has clearly played a big part in re-energizing public transport network, and has offered plenty of opportunities to improve the public transportation experience with improved reliability and safety.

Ontology, Meaning and Knowledge Management

Formal knowledge representation (KR) is about building models of the world, of a particular domain or a problem, which allow for automatic reasoning and interpretation. Such formal models are called ontologies and can be used to provide formal semantics (i.e., machine-interpretable meaning) to any sort of information: databases, catalogs, documents, web pages, etc. The association of information with such formal models makes the information much amenable to machine processing and interpretation.

Good to know when using different Arduino boards | Arduino - Wire | #Coding #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #LEARNingByDoing

Wire Library

This library allows you to communicate with I2C / TWI devices. On the Arduino boards with the R3 layout (1.0 pinout), the SDA (data line) and SCL (clock line) are on the pin headers close to the AREF pin. The Arduino Due has two I2C / TWI interfaces SDA1 and SCL1 are near to the AREF pin and the additional one is on pins 20 and 21.

As a reference the table below shows where TWI pins are located on various Arduino boards.

 

BoardI2C / TWI pinsUno, EthernetA4 (SDA), A5 (SCL)Mega256020 (SDA), 21 (SCL)Leonardo2 (SDA), 3 (SCL)Due20 (SDA), 21 (SCL), SDA1SCL1

 

As of Arduino 1.0, the library inherits from the Stream functions, making it consistent with other read/write libraries. Because of this, send() and receive() have been replaced with read() and write().

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ arrives: Faster CPU, Wi-Fi, 300Mbps Ethernet | #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #Coding #LEARNingByDoing

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ arrives: Faster CPU, Wi-Fi, 300Mbps Ethernet | #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #Coding #LEARNingByDoing | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

The Raspberry Pi Foundation has launched the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, offering a faster CPU and faster wireless throughput than its predecessor, the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ comes exactly two years after the launch of the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and is in line with Raspberry Pi Foundation's two-year B+ 'evolution' upgrade.

In other words, the changes don't warrant calling it a Raspberry Pi 4, but there are noticeable improvements, including a faster processor, higher Wi-Fi speeds, and faster Ethernet.
