Artificial Intelligence: Machine Learning Overview

Artificial Intelligence

Machine Learning (ML)

• Definition: A subset of AI that enables systems to learn from data and improve their performance over time without being explicitly programmed.
• Types of ML:
  • Supervised Learning: Algorithms are trained on labeled data (input-output pairs).
  • Unsupervised Learning: Algorithms identify patterns in unlabeled data.
  • Reinforcement Learning: Algorithms learn through trial and error, receiving rewards or penalties.
• Common Algorithms:
  • Linear Regression
  • Decision Trees
  • Support Vector Machines (SVM)
  • Neural Networks
• Applications: Fraud detection, recommendation systems, image recognition, and predictive analytics.

Natural Language Processing (NLP)

• Definition: A field of AI that focuses on the interaction between computers and humans through natural language.
• Key Tasks:
  • Text Analysis: Extracting information from text data (e.g., sentiment analysis).
  • Machine Translation: Converting text from one language to another (e.g., Google Translate).
  • Speech Recognition: Converting spoken language into text.
  • Chatbots: Automated conversational agents that simulate human interaction.
• Techniques:
  • Tokenization: Breaking text into words or phrases.
  • Named Entity Recognition (NER): Identifying and classifying key information in text.
  • Part-of-Speech Tagging: Assigning grammatical categories to words.

Computer Vision

• Definition: A field of AI that enables machines to interpret and make decisions based on visual data from the world.
• Key Concepts:
  • Image Processing: Techniques to enhance and manipulate images (e.g., filtering, transformation).
  • Object Detection: Identifying and locating objects within an image or video.
  • Image Classification: Assigning labels to images based on their content.
  • Facial Recognition: Identifying or verifying individuals from images or video frames.
• Applications: Autonomous vehicles, medical image analysis, security and surveillance, and augmented reality.

Artificial Intelligence Overview

• Artificial Intelligence (AI) encompasses systems designed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, including learning, reasoning, and problem-solving.

Machine Learning (ML)

• Subset of AI focused on enabling systems to learn from data and improve autonomously over time.
• Types of ML:
  • Supervised Learning: Involves training algorithms on labeled datasets, allowing systems to predict outcomes based on input-output relationships.
  • Unsupervised Learning: Involves training algorithms to recognize patterns and structures in unlabeled data without explicit instructions.
  • Reinforcement Learning: Involves training algorithms through trial and error, where they learn by receiving rewards for correct actions or penalties for incorrect ones.
• Common Algorithms:
  • Linear Regression, used for predicting continuous outcomes.
  • Decision Trees, which split data based on feature values for classification or regression tasks.
  • Support Vector Machines (SVM), effective for high-dimensional spaces for classification.
  • Neural Networks, complex models designed to simulate the way human brains operate, widely used in deep learning.
• Applications: Utilized in fraud detection, recommendation engines, image recognition, and predictive analytics.

Natural Language Processing (NLP)

• Field of AI concentrating on the interaction between computers and humans using natural language.
• Key Tasks:
  • Text Analysis: Involves extracting insights such as sentiment from large volumes of text data.
  • Machine Translation: Automatic conversion of written text between different languages, exemplified by tools like Google Translate.
  • Speech Recognition: Translates spoken language into text, enabling voice-controlled systems.
  • Chatbots: Automated agents designed to engage in conversations with users, simulating human interaction.
• Techniques:
  • Tokenization: Process of subdividing text into words or phrases for easier analysis.
  • Named Entity Recognition (NER): Method for identifying and classifying entities in text, such as names or locations.
  • Part-of-Speech Tagging: Assigns grammatical categories to words, aiding in understanding sentence structure.

Computer Vision

• AI specialization focused on enabling machines to interpret and make decisions based on visual information.
• Key Concepts:
  • Image Processing: Techniques aimed at enhancing or modifying images to improve their quality or extract useful information.
  • Object Detection: Technology for recognizing and locating objects within images or videos, crucial for applications like autonomous driving.
  • Image Classification: Involves assigning recognized objects or scenes in images to predefined categories.
  • Facial Recognition: Identifies or verifies individuals using facial features from images or video streams.
• Applications: Found in fields such as autonomous vehicles, medical imaging, security and surveillance, as well as augmented reality technologies.
