Study Notes

Introduction to AI, Deep Learning and Machine Learning

Artificial intelligence is a computer's ability to perform tasks typically associated with intelligent beings.
Machine learning studies algorithms that learn from examples and experience, instead of relying on hard-coded rules. Machine learning makes predictions on new data.
Deep learning is a subfield of machine learning that focuses on data representations, developing increasingly meaningful representations through successive layers.

Timeline of AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning

Early AI optimism in the 1950s led to smaller subsets like machine learning, and then deep learning, creating significant disruptions.

Traditional vs Deep "End-to-End" Machine Learning

"Traditional" machine learning uses handcrafted features to train a classifier.
Deep learning uses a series of learned features, from low-level to high-level, to train a classifier. This approach is known as "end-to-end" learning.

Key Milestones in Machine Learning

The examples provided detail numerous significant milestones in the history of machine learning, with contributors and their contributions listed chronologically.

Main Types of Machine Learning

Supervised learning, Unsupervised learning, Self-supervised learning, Reinforcement learning.

Data Fundamentals

Humans learn through observation, an unsupervised learning process, creating a model of the world.
Machine learning relies on large amounts of labeled data to compensate for this.

Data structures

Tensors generalize matrices to n-dimensions.
1D tensor: vector
2D tensor: matrix
3D, 4D, 5D tensors
Training data is typically split into training, validation, and test sets, sometimes with an adversarial test set.
Minibatches are small sets of data used in machine learning for efficiency.

Optimization

Optimization involves minimizing a quantity (e.g., loss function) to improve a model's performance. This is central to training machine learning models.

Anatomy of a Deep Neural Network

A deep neural network has layers (that transform data), weights (learned parameters), an optimizer (to update weights based on the loss function), and a loss function (to measure the error between predictions and the actual values).

Layers

Layers are data processing modules.
Convolutional, recurrent and densely connected layers are common.
Layers often perform tasks such as pooling, flattening, merging and normalization.

Input Data and Targets

Input data is mapped to predictions.
During training predictions are compared to true targets.

Loss Function

The loss function assesses the error between predictions and true values. Different tasks (regression, classification) use varying loss functions.

Optimizer

Optimizers update the weights of the network based on the loss function, typically using a learning rate.
Stochastic gradient descent and its variants, like RMSProp, are commonly used optimizers.

Deep Learning Frameworks

Deep learning frameworks help construct neural networks and handle the associated computations.
Multiple deep learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, Caffe) manage frameworks better. Frameworks utilize various tools, such as CPUs and GPUs.
