Study Notes

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
