If This Doesn't Terrify You … Google's Computers OUTWIT Their Humans | Fluenc... - 0 views

  •  
    Google no longer understands how its "deep learning" decision-making computer systems have made themselves so good at recognizing things in photos. This means the internet giant may need fewer experts in future as it can instead rely on its semi-autonomous, semi-smart machines to solve problems all on their own. The claims were made at the Machine Learning Conference in San Francisco on Friday by Google software engineer Quoc V. Le in a talk in which he outlined some of the ways the content-slurper is putting "deep learning" systems to work. (You find out more about machine learning, a computer science research topic, here [PDF].)

The Best #Hashtags for School Administrators to Follow | Gaggle Speaks Blog | Gaggle - 0 views

  •  
    " Following hashtags is a useful (and easy) way to get involved in relevant conversations and to increase your personal brand. You also can discover blog posts, news stories and commentary from your peers across the globe. Here are just a few of the hashtags that we think school administrators should follow. We'd love to hear yours in the comment section below. #EdAdmin If you're a school administrator, this Twitter hashtag is a must-follow to gain insight into policies and regulations impacting education. You'll also get up-to-date research related to educational leadership. #EdLeadership Use this hashtag to connect with other superintendents and school board leaders. Many administrators use this hashtag to ask challenging questions and engage in debates about policies and new trends in education. #SATChat One of the more popular hashtags, it's the host of a Twitter chat every Saturday at 7:30 ET. #ASuperDay Started by Scott Rocco, one of the three people who founded #SATChat, this hashtag is reserved for weekly stories of excellence from school administrators every Wednesday. #LeadUpChat LeadUp, a movement started by Jeff Veal and Nathan Lang, encourages a paradigm shift of leadership structure in education. #LeadFromWithin Not specifically dedicated to education, this hashtag explores best practices in leadership across the globe. #EdLeader21 Useful for leaders who focus on integrating the 4 Cs into education: critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity, this hashtag also provides rubrics and other content that you can incorporate into your school's curriculum."

How Measurement Fails Doctors and Teachers - The New York Times - 0 views

  • TWO of our most vital industries, health care and education, have become increasingly subjected to metrics and measurements. Of course, we need to hold professionals accountable. But the focus on numbers has gone too far. We’re hitting the targets, but missing the point.
  • We also need more research on quality measurement and comparing different patient populations. The only way to understand whether a high mortality rate, or dropout rate, represents poor performance is to adequately appreciate all of the factors that contribute to these outcomes — physical and mental, social and environmental — and adjust for them.
  • He developed what is known as Donabedian’s triad, which states that quality can be measured by looking at outcomes (how the subjects fared), processes (what was done) and structures (how the work was organized).
