Read Online | Sign Up | Advertise Good morning, {{ first_name | AI enthusiasts }}. The app that pioneered filter culture is now declaring the curated aesthetic dead. Instagram head Adam Mosseri says AI content has made polished posts worthless as proof of authenticity — and the platform that built its empire on the perfect grid is quickly scrambling to evolve to the new dynamics of social media in the AI age. In today’s AI rundown: IG head […]

NVIDIA has released the Nemotron 3 family of open models as part of a full stack for agentic AI, including model weights, datasets and reinforcement learning tools. The family has three sizes, Nano, Super and Ultra, and targets multi agent systems that need long context reasoning with tight control over inference cost. Nano has about 30 billion parameters with about 3 billion active per token, Super has about 100 billion parameters with up to 10 billion active per […]
In result of Google’s latest updates to its Maps API services (June 11, 2018), a lot of people are unhappy with these shocking changes. Increase in the price. Decrease in the free map loads. Obligation of adding a billing account. Etc… Therefore, a lot of those people are looking to replace their use of Google Maps to something as good (or at least remotely as good).
AUC measures how well a model ranks positives above negatives, independent of any chosen threshold. The post The Machine Learning “Advent Calendar” Bonus 1: AUC in Excel appeared first on Towards Data Science.
Preliminaries Gaussian distribution log-likelihood Calculus partial derivative Lagrange multiplier EM Algorithm for Gaussian Mixture1 Analysis Maximizing likelihood could not be used in the Gaussian mixture model directly, because of its severe defects which we have come across at ‘Maximum Likelihood of Gaussian Mixtures’. With the inspiration of K-means, a two-step algorithm was developed. The objective function is the log-likelihood function: [ begin{aligned} ln Pr(mathbf{x}|mathbf{pi},mathbf{mu},Sigma)&=ln (Pi_{n=1}^Nsum_{j=1}^{K}pi_kmathcal{N}(mathbf{x}|mathbf{mu}_k,Sigma_k))\ &=sum_{n=1}^{N}ln sum_{j=1}^{K}pi_jmathcal{N}(mathbf{x}_n|mathbf{mu}_j,Sigma_j)\ end{aligned}tag{1} ]
A new simulation demonstrates how these might work—and how leadership will need to change to succeed with them.
