Course material for Richard Weber's course on Probability for first year mathematicians at Cambridge. You can also check Richard's blog (a former colleague of my dad) here. It also includes exams question. This is the base material that needs to be mastered before being accepted in the prestigious Tripo III curriculum at Cambridge. The book (PDF) can be downloaded…

I can't find anymore where this chart, featuring relations between distributions, was first published. I remember seeing it on the Cloudera blog.

Another shorter one featuring the most useful one for statistical analysis, can be found…

In one great video.

Enjoy the video!

Here are two great resources for machine learning and AI practitioners. Other recent free books can be found here. 

1. Free and Open Machine Learning Documentation

This book is all about applying machine learning solutions for real practical use cases. This means the core focus is on outlining how to use machine learning…

Interesting application leveraging very big data, as you can zoom in to check out pretty detailed landscape on a few nearby planets and satellites. It would be even better if it allowed you to simulate space travel. At a speed 32 million times faster than the speed of light, it would take you 4 seconds to reach the closest star (Alpha Centauri): that's how fast you need to travel to see the stars really moving in the sky. By contrast, space travel at just the speed of light would make stars…

Another free book to learn Machine Learning. It also comes with a Youtube video series available here. 

Content

• Machine Learning Setup
• k-Nearest Neighbors / Curse of…

This list of lists contains books, notebooks, presentations, cheat sheets, and tutorials covering all aspects of data science, machine learning, deep learning, statistics, math, and more, with most documents featuring Python or R code and numerous illustrations or case studies. All this material is available for free, and consists of content mostly created in 2019 and 2018, by various top experts in their respective fields. A few of these documents are available on LinkedIn: see last section…

By Soroush Nasiriany, Garrett Thomas, William Wang, Alex Yang. Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, University of California, Berkeley. Dated June 24, 2019. This is not the same book as The Math of Machine Learning, also published by the same department at Berkeley, in 2018, and also authored by Garret…

According to Wikipedia, an ANN is based on a collection of connected units or nodes called artificial neurons, which loosely model the neurons in a biological brain. Each connection, like the synapses in a biological brain, can transmit a signal to other neurons. An artificial neuron that receives a signal then processes it and can signal neurons connected to it.

In ANN implementations, the "signal" at a connection is a real number, and the output of each neuron is computed by some…

Technical paper, published in IEEE Xplore.

Abstract:

Written by Jun Wu.

Every year since I worked on wall street, traditional trading-is-an-art-form traders are leaving and retiring.

Their jobs are replaced by a new breed of experts who are savvy with numbers, systems, and the market. These experts don’t sleep, eat or drink. They are the AI Systems that can run on a thousand machines to…
