Grand Project to "robotize" the island of Jamaica, established on October 24, 2019.
See how artificial intelligence/machine learning has demonstrably enhanced human life: Youtube/Nvidia "I Am AI: GTC 2019 Kickoff"
See also, my recent local gleaner article: Why jamaica urgently needs a "Minister of Artificial Intelligence?"?
See the following item, for a quick grasp of likely issues that may arise from failure to perform initiatives like RobotizeJa.
If need be, please see article 1/week 1 of my Gleaner column, for a reasonably concrete introduction to machine learning: "Artificial Intelligence And The Economy | Utilising Artificial Intelligence Could Aid Economic Stimulation".
-
In the aim of spreading Ai usage together with Ai democratization, I travel across the country in order to apply Ai for free (Tier A) for several institution types.
-
This is of course limited only by the amount of time I have away from work, my reasonably good albeit growing knowledge/capacity in artificial intelligence, and lastly my personal finances to begin.
- Artificial Intelligence Projects of mine/knowledge base:
- Machine Learning Jamaica Institute (as seen in the subsidiary section after this Goal section)
- Heart Irregularity Detection using convolutional residual neural networks
- Smart Pothole Detector using fp16 convolutional neural networks ...
- This project is featured by NVIDIA, on their jetson projects page. NVIDIA is a multi-billion dollar artificial intelligence involved company. Their technology has been central to a large degree of humanity's progress so far.
- Arrhythmia detection in browser using convolutional neural networks
- Jetson nano neural computer programming
- Live ITS 2019 Neural Network Programming Tutorial
- Artificial Neural Networks for kids - Amazon book ..which is free on ResearchGate
- Supersymmetric Artificial Neural Network - This is Machine Learning Theory
- Fundamental neural network programming practice
- World's first Covid19 Artificial Intelligence Lung XRay Automated Open Source Diagnosis Tool
- Artificial Intelligence Projects of mine/knowledge base:
-
Somewhat inexpensive laptops (bought using my personal finances) will be left on the premises of the institutions for their usage (for running "trained" ai models), while I will use my somewhat expensive desktop to "train" said Ai models where applicable.
Please send your resume to robotizeja@gmail.com/Robotize Jamaica (or robotizeearth@gmail.com "Robotize Earth"), if you do artificial intelligence development, including data science etc.
If you are not able to help "RobotizeJa", at least try to help "Robotize{AnotherCountryName}" were applicable!
Let's talk about how Ai can benefit/enhance your institution's pipeline. Contact the emails above, or 876-547-0790.
1. The first known global attempt/publication of image analysis/Artificial Intelligence based nCov/Covid19 diagnosis code --- AN ARITIFICAL INTELLIGENCE BASED CORONAVIRUS/COVID19 SOLUTION PREPARED FOR PUBLIC USE BY JORDAN BENNETT
-
Note: I am working with Andrei Marinescu to deliver Covid19 detection.
- This story is now posted in Libertatea News.
-
Feb 9, 2020: I discover similarities between Covid19 and known forms of pneumonia, after which I find a few CT-Images representing positive cases of Covid19 by Chinese authorities, where I decided to perform artificial intelligence based CT Image Scan diagnostics, by using the images as inputs to an artificial intelligence based pneumonia diagnosis method originally published/made by John Chang in November 2019. This reasoning is seen in my research/discovery process in the Deep Learning Code section on the repository..
-
Feb 19, 2020: Scientists reveal a ~98% accuracy in human/radiology based CT Scan image based diagnostics, compared to the popular Dna polymerase chain reaction method by CDC: "In a series of 51 patients with chest CT and RT-PCR assay performed within 3 days, the sensitivity of CT for COVID-19 infection was ~98% compared to RT-PCR sensitivity of ~71% (p<.001)."
-
Feb 20, 2020: Great news - Feb 20 news report published, that Chinese are using Ai to help identify the virus with reported ~99% accuracy, via their own Ai based CT-scan method.
- Unfortunately, unlike this repository started by myself on Feb 9th, no Chinese publication of ai based algorithms seems to have been made to the public to help facilitate global control of covid19/SarsCov2.
-
Feb 26, 2020: Chinese researchers reveal free access to an artificial intelligence based online Covid19 Detection tool, although still, no code nor patient data revealed. As a result detection may be slow for users without good internet connection.
- I still call to have code/data released for enhanced covid19 spread control.
- One reason why China should reasonably release their code and data, is because their trained algorithm and data, while providing good basis, may also be susceptible to race based computation issues, simply due to the reality that most Covid19 patient/data are those of Chinese/race.
- My showcasing of this repository's code, and or my suggested publication of China's ai code may enable further training on data pertaining to race distributions of the target nation where Covid19 screening is applicable/required, as seen in other work that stresses accounts for diversity..
I call on the Ministry of Health of Jamaica (as well as other countries) to utilize their administrative status to try to acquire more covid19 positive CT scan images (in federated format that excludes patient identity), from China etc, for improving pneumonia based ai systems, like the one that I had prepared since February 9, 2020, which I found to successfully detect covid19 presence in a small covid-19 positive Xray scan sample set found online so far, in a paper by Yuen et al etc.
- Alternatively, the Chinese artificial intelligence algorithm/solution together with the data could be attained using the same administrative method.
- One reason why China should reasonably release their code and data, is because their trained algorithm and data, while providing good basis, may also be susceptible to race based computation issues, simply due to the reality that most Covid19 patient/data are those of Chinese/race.
- My showcasing of this repository's code, and or my suggested publication of China's ai code may enable further training on data pertaining to race distributions of the target nation where Covid19 screening is applicable/required, as seen in other work that stresses accounts for diversity..
- In future scenarios, a "Division of Artificial Intelligence Based Health Development" or sector of artificial intelligence based research should reasonably exist in the Ministry of Health, that could enable Ai solutions to be rapidly researched/developed, to facilitate production of vaccines, and treatment, as seen in a recent example where MIT developed antibiotics based on Ai research/development.

2016: In a face to face talk, I had advised UWI Mona Ai lecturer to introduce neural networks/modern artificial intelligence as an independent course to the Computer Science degree.
-
2016 later: I also started Machine learning Jamaica Institute, as an independent institution for machine learning/modern artificial intelligence.

June 2018: I write about my advice to UWI Mona to introduce neural networks/modern artificial intelligence as an independent course to the Computer Science degree, as well as "Machine Learning Jamaica Institute" initiative/platform.
-
November 2019:
- Jamaica Prime minister Andrew Holness, plans to build Stem focused schools in response to growing Artificial Intelligence impact.
-
However, I detect that STEM focused schools while excellent, will not be sufficient to adequately prepare for the incoming automation, where even cognitive tasks like radiology stem careers, are already being automated away now:
- Breaking news: We can now diagnose pneumonia from chest X-rays better than radiologists.
- This is a part of the reason why I opted to start Machine Learning Jamaica Institute in 2016.
UPDATES - MY ADVICE TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF JAMAICA TO ADD MINISTER OF "ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE" PORTFOLIO
I advise Jamaica Prime Minister, the Most Honourable Andrew Michael Holness, to help create a new political portfolio/role, namely "Minister of Artificial Intelligence" of Jamaica, in my recent "letter of Artificial Intelligence" to him.
This is a part of an even grander plan, to help robotize the planet!
