Planning | AI the front all the editors


The first day of 2018!

First of all, I would like to thank the readers of AI Front for accompanying us over the past year and witnessing the rapid development of AI in the past year. At the same time, I would like to thank all the experts, teachers and translators who provided articles, shares, materials, translations and professional opinions to THE AI Front. It is because of you that the rich contents of the AI front are available.

In 2017, the AI front met countless lovely people. There was an expert teacher who kept improving on the quality of his output articles. It was not finished until the last few minutes before the release of the article. One reader went through Jeff Dean very carefully: The whole article is about replacing B-trees with machine learning index, improving performance by 3 times and reducing space by 10-100 times. Then the comments point out that this paper should have little relationship with Jeff Dean and the premise conditions set in this paper are too ideal. Later, I also discussed the future direction of combining database and machine learning with xiaobian in wechat. A translator will take the initiative to typeset in accordance with the template of our public account and find a good head picture, write a good guide, saving us a lot of typesetting trouble…

At the end of 2017, AI Front sent out a questionnaire to a group of AI developers and non-AI developers to gather their thoughts on the year’s biggest stories and how AI impacted their work.

The New Year has arrived and the AI front is ready to go! We need your valuable ideas to help us make better content in the New Year!

You can answer the following questions in the comments below:

1. How do you see AI impacting your current work in 2018?

2. How do you plan to learn about AI in 2018?

3. What content (form or theme) would you like to see more of on the AI front in 2018?

Or leave a comment with any criticism or suggestion that could help the AI front improve the content.

As a thank you, we will also send you 2018 New Year gifts!

The prize is a

Professor Wang Tianyi read the code in the column of “Artificial Intelligence Basic Course” opened by geek Time App (all year! A total of 40 episodes!)

This column will focus on the core concepts of machine learning and neural network, and combine the current hot deep learning technology to outline the basic outline and main path of the development of artificial intelligence.

The prize two

Machine Learning Practical Paper book!

Instead of explaining the mathematics behind machine learning algorithms from a theoretical point of view, this book introduces each algorithm through “brief introduction of principles + problem examples + actual code + performance”.

Machine Learning in Action cuts to everyday tasks with carefully choreographed examples, abandons academic language, and uses efficient reusable Python code to illustrate how to process, analyze, and visualize statistics. Through various examples, readers can learn the core algorithms of machine learning and apply them to strategic tasks such as classification, prediction, and recommendation. In addition, they can be used for more advanced functions such as summarization and simplification.

The prize for three

QCon themed long sleeve hoodie or notepad!

That’s right! Just put on a QCon hoodie and a hat, and you’re the best coder in hip-hop! Can freestyle the most among programmers! Mouth to: “you see this keyboard it is long and square” (Wu Yifan: “listen to know is the old ··· overtime programmer.” )

QCon’s notepad is made by a well-known domestic papermaking enterprise, with exquisite materials and complicated process refinement, which cannot be done by craftsmen. It is thick enough and convenient to carry. Try not to enter, or honestly used to take notes, small series of pro test, meeting minutes, study notes, really practical!

How to participate (HIN important! Look hard!)

Leave a message at the end of the article or in the background (the form of the background message is: Hello 2018+ your suggestion or answer), and forward this article to moments, forward the screenshot and reply to the AI front background.

Award setting

The editor selected Kim’s message

There are 5 students in total, and the prize will be the reading code of the column of “Basic Artificial Intelligence Course” opened by Professor Wang Tianyi in geek Time App

This award will be generated at the end of the message and the background message, the AI front-line editor manually selected the best quality, the most valuable message for our content, friendly reminder: the more detailed message, can help us improve the content of the suggestion has a higher chance of winning

Most popular message (only at the end of the message, direct message for gifts will not be selected to release)

  • Top 1-5 likes: a total of 5 winners, the prize is the paper book “Machine Learning Practice”
  • Top 6-13 likes: total 8 winners, QCon themed long-sleeve hoodie or notebook (random gift)

Note: the above two awards are not repeated. For example, if you have been selected as “Editor’s Choice Golden message” and ranked first in the number of likes, you will be given a prize of “Editor’s Choice Golden Message”, and the winner of “most popular message” will be adjusted to Top 2-14 in the number of likes, please note!

Deadline: January 3, 10:00 a.m

Drawing time: January 3, 18:00

So many gifts, readers must not miss ah!

The last two words

The first day of 2018, Monday, January 1, with several 1s coming together, is the day of new beginnings and the beginning of everything in 2018.

If you want to learn a new language, start today.

If you want to explore new technology, start today.

If you want a new life, start today.

No matter what regrets you had in 2017, they’re behind you, and if there’s one thing you still want to accomplish, start today!

We don’t know if 2018 will be any nicer to you, but only your own efforts can make your life better! I hope the AI front can always accompany you on your way to grow up!

2018, please come on!
