Just finished the 3ed chapter of the free "Elements of AI“ course, that's half of it, and I am really impressed with the content! It’s a fantastic course for people interested in learning about AI. The course is not crazy difficult, but some of the challenges are a little tricky like the math with the Bayes rule.
It 's for people starting out with AI and I can highly recommend it!
We just had a really inspiring chat about how to fix AI education with Hugo Bowne-Anderson on the Outerbunds Fireside Chat series #AIeducation #elementsofAI #GenerationAIstn https://www.youtube.com/live/LoLuY_7VACg
Ai niin, piti sanoa, että Elements of AI -kurssille on tähän mennessä ilmoittautunut 1.5 miljoonaa ihmistä. Melko vaikea hahmottaa sellaista ihmismäärää. #ElementsofAI #tekoäly
Eilen Mäkelänrinteen lukion opettajien kutsumana puhumassa tekoälyn merkityksestä lukioille.
Keskustelu oli aktiivista ja kuulemma iso joukko opettajia suorittaa parhaillaan myös Elements of AI -kurssia.
Back from the holidays to let you know that the Elements of AI MOOC has a new content update covering large language models including ChatGPT.
Feel free to check it out (even without signing up) here: https://course.elementsofai.com/5/3
By the way, the number of people registered on the course so far: 1,114 million

The Rise of Large Language Models (LLMs)
As mentioned above, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) reduce the number of learnable weights in a neural network so that the amount of training data required to learn all of them doesn't grow astronomically large as we keep building bigger and bigger networks. Another architectural innovation, besides the idea of a CNN, that currently powers many state-of-the-art deep learning models is called attention.
Attention mechanisms were originally introduced for machine translation where they can selectively focus the attention of the model to certain words in the input text when generating a particular word in the output. This way the model doesn't have to pay attention to all of the input at the same time, which greatly simplifies the learning task. Attention mechanisms were soon found to be extremely useful not only in machine translation.

Chapter 2 was good, but it highlighted my very basic issue with numbers and following complex data/probability/etc. Whilst I can follow the reasoning behind the choices, I can't follow the maths of it. A shame, as I'm not doing well in the 'assessment' part of the course (is this going to be a fail?) but I'm following along nicely.

The first chapter was great, explaining and confirming my current understanding of AI, what is and what is not AI, and how this field of computer science has developed.
I'm pretty sure at least one of the responses to the assignment I had to peer review was from ChatGPT? I wonder if the course designers were sneaky enough to try this on us?

Looking forward to starting this online course - "Elements of AI" from the University of Helsinki. https://course.elementsofai.com/
#ElementsOfAI #AI #Learning #OpenEducation
As of today, we have 923 621 registered users on the Elements of AI course. Looks like we'll break the 1M mark this year. That'd call for a proper party

FIVE FROM FINLAND: Lifelong learning by Zhanna Koiviola
"Known as an education superpower, Finland encourages lifelong learning in many ways, locally and globally." #Finland #LifeLongLearning #ElementsofAI
Apparently many developers looking for a job right now.
In case you're interested in working in the happiest country in the world (🇫🇮 ) developing the MOOC platform running the world's #1 AI course (https://www.elementsofai.com) with close to 1M users, drop me a line and let's talk!
To spread the news about a free online course on AI for beginners here on Mastodon too, here’s a nice piece on Wired UK from a couple years ago #ElementsofAI #ArtificialIntelligence #MOOCs #learning #FutureSkills #UniversityofHelsinki #MinnaLearn https://www.wired.co.uk/article/finland-artificial-intelligence-online-course
