Big Picture
- What to Expect From Artificial Intelligence. AI makes prediction abundant. This simple tutorial will provide fundamental grounding for your future conversations.
- Even Artificial Neural Networks Can Have Exploitable ‘Backdoors’. Even though most implementations feature black boxes that resist interrogation, designers can create ways to influence the process.
- A Physicist Who Models ISIS and the Alt-Right. Human organizations are complex dynamic systems. Modeling of organizations is in its earliest phases. This is a look into the future. Once the fundamental principles are understood in critical security arenas, we will be applying them in our companies.
HR’s View
- Where in the World is Mobile Development? A good look at sources and locations for mobile developers.
- A Tale of Two Industries: How Programming Languages Differ Between Wealthy and Developing Countries. More developer sourcing insight.
Tutorial
- Data Mining 1. Introduction to data mining and tools. Data mining (sometimes called knowledge discovery from data (KDD)) is simply the discovery of patterns among data.
- Data Mining 2. Introduction to Pandas data structures and essential operations. The mechanics of data cleaning.
- Why Big Business Is Racing to Build Blockchains. Great tutorial.
Quote of the Week
“When we talk about prediction, we usually mean anticipating what will happen in the future. For example, machine learning can be used to predict whether a bank customer will default on a loan. But we can also apply it
to the present by, for instance, using symptoms to develop a medical diagnosis (in effect, predicting the presence of a disease). Using data this way is not new. The mathematical ideas behind machine learning are decades
old. Many of the algorithms are even older. So what has changed?
Recent advances in computational speed, data storage, data retrieval, sensors, and algorithms have combined to dramatically reduce the cost of machine learning-based predictions. And the results can be seen in the speed of image recognition and language translation, which have gone from clunky to nearly perfect. All this progress has resulted in a dramatic decrease in the cost of prediction.” – What to Expect From Artificial Intelligence.
About
Curate means a variety of things: from the work of vicar entrusted with the care of souls to that of an exhibit designer responsible for clarity and meaning. At the core, it means something about the importance of empathy in organization. HRIntelligencer is an update on the comings and goings in the Human Resource experiment with Artificial Intelligence, Digital Employees, Algorithms, Machine Learning, Big Data and all of that stuff. We present a few critical links with some explanation. The goal is to give you a way to surf the rapidly evolving field without drowning in information. We offer a timeless curation of the intersection of HR and the machines that serve it. We curate the emergence of Algorithmic HR.
