From data to paradigm
Data has no meaning without context!
which is why everyone is so busy creating context to influence us. Influence enough people and you create a paradigm which will shape how people perceive reality.
This is especially true about the "gatekeepers": Google, Facebook and Amazon which respectively control information access, social networks and retail.
Soon with AI, that control will become dynamic and adaptive and will mold our thinking without people even realizing what is going on. AI will not enhance our intelligence, it will replace it, dumbing down everything it touches with AI powered easy to use apps which will slowly takeover our every day chores. This is not liberation, it is enslavement as soon enough your "navigator" will tell you "smartly" that you are not allowed to turn left, fastest or optimum option is right. No discussion possible, "smart car" directed by "smart city" is in charge.
This is still the future but it is the one we are busy building up at this very moment. Contrary to the video, I do not believe this is "planned". We are just rushing towards a future we do not completely understand and which outcome we are not capable of shaping.
A matrix by default?

Siri, Cortana, Alexa and AI (Weekend Humor)
Not there yet but will our online assistants be the first to show early signs of intelligence? That would be quite amazing because such AI would be stumbled into instead of created by design. This is possible but unlikely. There must be a few basic principles such as backward propagation which still elude us. Then there is pure intelligence where the right deductions are generated without awareness and a more advance system with a self which "thinks" nonstop without being stimulated. As we progress, the steps will probably be more numerous and complex. Jealousy and humor are still our prerogative for some time!

The death of third party data
Interesting article published on Technative
https://www.technative.io/the-death-of-third-party-data/
Interesting but incomplete!
There is a mix up of understanding between 3rd party using the data for access to clients and companies using 3rd party data to get more insight into the clients. This is not the same!
In one case, you have intrusion and this is what people react to quite legitimately. In the other case, we are talking about necessary insight into people behavior in order to do marketing properly. Without insight and context, you cannot do "personalized" marketing.
Marketing personalization will more and more rely on AI systems and these systems will need more and more data to perform efficiently. Complex models may eventually replace data but these have to be built and to do that you will need data, lots of data!
With GDPR in full force, the days of third party data are numbered
The regulation has been the catalyst for new concerns around how companies are using our personal information, and there is heightened awareness around how anonymous third-party data cookies are tracking us around the internet. In a post-GDPR world, sensitivity to intrusive online ads has never been so strong.And it’s a justified cause for concern. Imagine going into H&M and someone walking up to you to sell a Primark T-shirt. It wouldn’t feel right, but that’s exactly what ad space is doing. You could be on a travel website and another completely different company, with no affiliation, not only knows that you’ve been there but that you’ve made a purchase.
This abuse of third party data has become the norm, with too many companies crossing the line and violating consumer’s privacy. And let’s not forget, this practice has been technically possible and legally allowed. What Facebook and Cambridge Analytica did, for example, didn’t break the law. They abused something they were allowed to abuse. But consumers have become savvier when it comes to their data and they rightly called ethics into question.
In this climate, marketers need to be prepared for a backlash on a much wider scale, and for the spotlight on ethics to kill acquisition marketing. Data Management Platforms (DMPs), which currently allow marketers to access huge volumes of third-party data way beyond the resources of the individual marketer, will become a thing of the past. Or marketers will at least have to accept that there will be radical changes or limitations for these platforms to function within GDPR regulations.
Putting retention marketing centre stage
This will put significant pressure on CMOs to shift their focus to providing the best possible experience to existing customers, targeting known email addresses and mobile numbers instead of using cookie crumbs. The beauty of retention marketing is that the brand has already won the customer over at some point in the past, so they are likely to be more receptive to personalised content and engagements.Forrester research shows that the majority are already onto this trend. In 2017, CMO spend on customer growth and retention outpaced budgets for customer acquisition by an almost 2:1 ratio (63% and 37% share of budgets, respectively). That’s good progress when we consider that ten years ago the use of third party data dominated. But there’s still a long way to go and marketers should be working to get their acquisition budgets right down to meet customer expectations.
Turning first party data into a gold mine
The next challenge for marketers is to maximise spend on retention marketing and make first party data a powerful addition to their omnichannel strategy. For example, as customers voluntarily follow a brand’s social channel, it makes sense to tap into this as much as possible. Retention marketers have the opportunity here to transform communication and capitalise on tighter customer relationships across the digital journey.In addition, CRM-based advertising enables marketers to use their first-party contact data to reach anyone online, wherever they are, with relevant ads. Marketers can extend their reach across networks without diluting targeting focus, and can drive engagement to provide comprehensive, exciting customer journeys. The critical aspect here becomes the marketer’s ability to accurately match first-party data with network profiles to target users on networks such as Google and Facebook.
However, what will ultimately drive revenue is automating the integration of first-party data. Marketing automation needs to take a strategic approach in order to be successful, as poorly implemented automation can very quickly ruin personalisation.
In a post GDPR world where consumers expect – and deserve – a more responsible use of their data, the key to success is building personalised customer journeys that inspire customers to keep engaging with the brand. By combining first-party data with sophisticated marketing platforms, and being aware of the changing digital habits of consumers, marketers now have all the ingredients they need to seriously transform their online strategy and win at retention marketing.

10. Foundations of Data Science: Prediction and Machine Learning
I know you might be getting sucked or bore with predictions and regression, but believe me, this machine learning course will definitely help you to level up your knowledge and skills that you have achieved through previous courses.
This course called “Foundations of Data Science: Prediction and Machine Learning” mainly focuses on regression and classification, to automatically identify patterns in your data and make better predictions.
One of the principal responsibilities of a data scientist is to make
reliable predictions based on data. When the amount of data available is
enormous, it helps if some of the analysis can be automated.
Machine learning is a way of identifying patterns in data and using them to automatically make predictions or decisions. In this data science course, you will learn the basic concepts and elements of machine learning.
The two main methods of machine learning you will focus on are regression and classification.
Regression is used when you seek to predict a numerical quantity. Classification is used when you try to predict a category e.g, given information about a financial transaction, predict whether it is fraudulent or legitimate.
For regression, you will learn how to measure the correlation between two variables and compute a best-fit line for making predictions when the underlying relationship is linear.
The course will also teach you how to quantify the uncertainty in your prediction using the bootstrap method. These techniques will be motivated by a wide range of examples.
For classification, you will learn the k-nearest neighbor classification algorithm, learn how to measure the effectiveness of your classifier, and apply it to real-world tasks including medical diagnoses and predicting genres of movies.
The course will highlight the assumptions underlying the techniques and will provide ways to assess whether those assumptions are good. It will also point out pitfalls that lead to overly optimistic or inaccurate predictions.

Regression is used when you seek to predict a numerical quantity. Classification is used when you try to predict a category e.g, given information about a financial transaction, predict whether it is fraudulent or legitimate.
For regression, you will learn how to measure the correlation between two variables and compute a best-fit line for making predictions when the underlying relationship is linear.
The course will also teach you how to quantify the uncertainty in your prediction using the bootstrap method. These techniques will be motivated by a wide range of examples.
For classification, you will learn the k-nearest neighbor classification algorithm, learn how to measure the effectiveness of your classifier, and apply it to real-world tasks including medical diagnoses and predicting genres of movies.
The course will highlight the assumptions underlying the techniques and will provide ways to assess whether those assumptions are good. It will also point out pitfalls that lead to overly optimistic or inaccurate predictions.
The major concepts that this course
covers are fundamental concepts of machine learning. linear regression,
correlation, and the phenomenon of regression to the mean,
classification using the k-nearest neighbors’ algorithm, how to compare
and evaluate the accuracy of machine learning models, basic probability
and Bayes’ theorem.
This course will be taught by Ani Adhikari Teaching Professor of Statistics UC Berkeley, John DeNero Giancarlo Teaching Fellow in the EECS Department UC Berkeley, David Wagner Professor of Computer Science UC Berkeley.

If you look at two genes that serve the same purpose in two different
species, how can you rigorously compare these genes in order to see how
they have evolved away from each other? And the answer to this question
will be in this 11th machine learning course.
Our 11th machine learning course will be taught Pavel Pevzner Ronald R. Taylor Professor of the Computer Science the University of California, San Diego, Phillip Compeau Assistant Teaching Professor Carnegie Mellon University.
In this course, you will get introduced to Algorithms and Data Structures MicroMasters program, where you will see how the dynamic programming paradigm can be used to solve a variety of different questions related to pairwise and multiple string comparison.
This course will teach you dynamic programming and how it applies to basic string comparison algorithms, sequence alignment, including how to generalize dynamic programming algorithms to handle different cases, hidden Markov models.
It will also teach you about how to find the most likely sequence of events given a collection of outcomes and limited information, Machine learning in the sequence alignment.
In the second part of the course, you will see how a powerful machine learning approach, using a Hidden Markov Model, can dig deeper and find relationships between less obviously related sequences, such as areas of the rapidly mutating HIV genome.

12. Introduction to Machine Learning for Coders
Our next course “Introduction to Machine Learning for Coders” will be taught by Jeremy Howard.
This course is little different from other machine learning courses, as it will not talk about ML basics but it will directly teach you about most the important machine learning models, including how to create them yourself from scratch, as well as key skills in data preparation, model validation, and building data products.
There are around 24 hours of lessons, and you should plan to spend around 8 hours a week for 12 weeks to complete the material.
The course is based on lessons recorded at the University of San Francisco for the Masters of Science in Data Science program.
Jeremy Howard assumes that you have at least one year of coding experience, and also remember what you learned in high school math or are prepared to do some independent study to refresh your knowledge.
Bonus:) Robotics: Vision Intelligence and Machine Learning
And here is the time of bonus, Robotics: Vision Intelligence and Machine Learning is a kind of machine learning course that will help you put your all knowledge in building something practical.
This course all depends on your personal level of interest but I highly recommend it to you.
From this machine learning course, you will learn how to design robot vision systems that avoid collisions, safely work with humans and understand their environment. In this course, you will come across visual intelligence.
Visual intelligence allows a robot to “sense” and “recognize” the
surrounding environment. It also enables a robot to “learn” from the
memory of past experiences by extracting patterns in visual signals.
In this course, you will understand how Machine Learning extracts statistically meaningful patterns in data that support classification, regression and clustering.
The will teach you about the fundamentals of image filtering and tracking, and how to apply those principles to face detection, mosaicking, and stabilization.
You will also learn how to use geometric transformations to determine 3D poses from 2D images for augmented reality tasks and visual odometry for robot localization, how to recognize objects and the basics of visual learning and neural networks for the purpose of classification.
Then by studying Computer Vision and Machine Learning together, you will be able to build recognition algorithms that can learn from data and adapt to new environments.
By the end of this course, you will be able to program vision capabilities for a robot such as a robot localization as well as to object recognition using machine learning.
Projects in this course will utilize MATLAB and OpenCV and will include real examples of video stabilization, recognition of 3D objects, coding a classifier for objects, building a perceptron, and designing a convolutional neural network (CNN) using one of the standard CNN frameworks.

Big Data Keeps Getting Bigger
The sun never sets on the creation of new data.
Authored by Jeff Desjardins via VisualCapitalist.com,
How can we grasp and understand big data?
This often seems to be a challenge especially for people who do not understand it... and nevertheless try to explain it to us!
This is the case here with a hodgepodge of disparate data sources and data usage packaged together in a colorful but not quite meaningful way to be impressive, leading to the wrong conclusion:
"Also, imagine how difficult it is to make sense of this swath of data. How does one even process insights from the many billions of Youtube videos watched per day?"
Well, no actually! With big data, it is the exact opposite: The more data you have, the easier it is to make sense of it!
And this is in fact relatively easy to understand: The more data you have, the easier it becomes to find patterns, trends and correlations.
Many companies struggle with their big data projects, often because the data is not big enough, and most often because it does not contains important clues or information preventing the right insight to be accessed.
So as the data flow increases, the difficulty is far more technical in a hardware kind of way than in the understanding of the data as implied in the article above.
But then, once you understand the contents comes of course the real challenge of our time: What to do with the data. This, more than being mesmerized by peta and exabytes is or should be the focus of our attention.
