Study Notes

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI is increasingly prevalent in various software applications used daily, including:
- Digital assistants in homes and cellphones
- Automotive technology in vehicles
- Smart productivity applications that help with work
AI is generally defined as software that exhibits one or more human-like capabilities, including:
- Reasoning and problem-solving
- Learning
- Perception
- Language understanding
- Social skills and creativity
These human-like capabilities are becoming more accessible in everyday software applications, making them:
- More intuitive
- More useful in various scenarios
AI capabilities were previously only seen in science fiction, but are now a reality.

Data Science

Data science is a discipline that focuses on processing and analyzing data to uncover and visualize relationships and patterns.
It involves applying statistical techniques to define experimental models that help explore patterns in data.
Data scientists gather and analyze data to understand trends and relationships between variables, and test hypotheses using models.

Machine Learning

Machine learning is a subset of data science that deals with training and validating predictive models.
It involves preparing data and using it to train a model based on an algorithm that exploits relationships between features in the data.
Predictive models can be used to forecast values for unknown labels based on factors such as observed data, demographics, and more.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence builds on machine learning to create software that emulates one or more characteristics of human intelligence.
It involves creating software that can perform tasks such as accurate monitoring, identification, and tracking.
AI applications can be used to respond to automated identification of objects, track patterns, and identify areas of interest.
