Artificial Intelligence: Neural Networks

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Neural Networks

• Inspired by the structure and function of the human brain
• A network of interconnected nodes (neurons) that process and transmit information
• Types:
  • Feedforward Networks: information flows only in one direction
  • Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs): information flows in a loop, allowing for feedback
  • Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs): designed for image and signal processing
• Applications:
  • Image recognition
  • Speech recognition
  • Natural Language Processing

Deep Learning

• A subfield of machine learning that uses neural networks with multiple layers
• Enables machines to learn complex patterns and representations from data
• Techniques:
  • Backpropagation: an algorithm for training neural networks
  • Gradient Descent: an optimization algorithm for minimizing loss functions
  • Regularization: techniques to prevent overfitting (e.g., dropout, L1/L2 regularization)
• Applications:
  • Image recognition
  • Speech recognition
  • Natural Language Processing

Natural Language Processing (NLP)

• A subfield of AI that deals with the interaction between computers and humans in natural language
• Tasks:
  • Language Translation
  • Sentiment Analysis
  • Text Classification
  • Named Entity Recognition
• Techniques:
  • Tokenization: breaking down text into individual words or tokens
  • Part-of-Speech Tagging: identifying the grammatical category of each word
  • Named Entity Recognition: identifying named entities (e.g., people, places, organizations)
• Applications:
  • Chatbots
  • Sentiment Analysis
  • Language Translation

Computer Vision

• A subfield of AI that deals with enabling machines to interpret and understand visual data from the world
• Tasks:
  • Image Classification
  • Object Detection
  • Image Segmentation
  • Image Generation
• Techniques:
  • Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs): designed for image and signal processing
  • Transfer Learning: using pre-trained models as a starting point for new tasks
  • Data Augmentation: artificially increasing the size of a dataset by applying transformations
• Applications:
  • Image recognition
  • Object detection
  • Autonomous vehicles

Supervised Learning

• A type of machine learning where the model is trained on labeled data
• Goal: to learn a mapping between input data and output labels
• Types:
  • Regression: predicting a continuous value
  • Classification: predicting a categorical label
• Techniques:
  • Linear Regression: a linear model for predicting continuous values
  • Logistic Regression: a linear model for predicting categorical labels
  • Decision Trees: a tree-based model for predicting categorical labels
• Applications:
  • Image classification
  • Sentiment analysis
  • Recommendation systems
