Rather than study how to use AI, students in this machine learning class work with the math that makes the AI work.

How much math knowledge do you need for machine learning and deep learning? Some people say not much. Others say a lot. Both are correct, depending on what you want to achieve. There are plenty of ...

Two recent collaborations between mathematicians and DeepMind demonstrate the potential of machine learning to help researchers generate new mathematical conjectures. Mathematicians often work ...

Researchers have developed an artificially intelligent system that does the exact opposite of living in the moment. But it doesn’t just think a few steps ahead—it thinks millions of steps ahead. A ...

When you’ve been fighting black-hat hackers for decades, you learn a thing or two about them. Obviously, they are bad, and they like to play with code. But most importantly, they’re continually ...

Then to optimize over that linear model they’ll show you gradient descent, and again you’ll note, “Well, that’s just calculus!” Support vector machines? Merely convex optimization. Naive Bayes? Just ...

Last year, I started writing about my experiences taking courses on machine learning and artificial intelligence. One of the big, unexpected problems I ran into was calculus and linear algebra. I've ...
