intelligence processes by intelligence, like visual
machines, such as learning, perception, speech recognition,
problem-solving, and decision- language translation, and
making. decision-making.

Subfields Applications
AI encompasses various AI is being applied in numerous
subfields, including machine industries, from healthcare and
learning, natural language finance to transportation and
processing, computer vision, entertainment.
robotics, and more.
Historical Background of AI
Pioneering Research
The foundations of AI were laid in the 1950s with the pioneering
1
work of researchers like Alan Turing, Marvin Minsky, and John
McCarthy.

Early Successes
In the 1960s and 70s, AI systems demonstrated impressive
2
capabilities in chess, game-playing, and problem-solving,
raising hopes for general AI.

AI Winter
However, the field stagnated in the 1980s due to technological
3
limitations, leading to a period of disillusionment known as the
"AI Winter".

Modern Resurgence
In the 2000s, breakthroughs in machine learning, especially
4
deep learning, have driven a resurgence of AI research and
applications.
Artificial Neural Networks
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are machine learning models inspired by the
structure and function of the human brain. They are composed of
interconnected nodes, or "neurons," that can process data and recognize
patterns in a way that mimics biological neural networks.

ANNs are particularly adept at tasks like image recognition, natural language
processing, and predictive analytics. By adjusting the strength of the
connections between neurons, ANNs can learn to perform complex tasks with
high accuracy.

actions.
Supervised Learning
1 Labeled Data
Supervised learning models are trained on labeled datasets,
where the expected output is provided for each input.

2 Mapping Inputs to Outputs

The algorithm learns to map the input features to the
corresponding labels, building a predictive model.

3 Prediction and Evaluation

Once trained, the model can be used to make predictions on
new, unseen data and its performance is evaluated.

Discovering relationships and patterns in data

Unsupervised learning is a powerful AI technique that allows models to discover hidden patterns and structures in data without any
labeled examples. By clustering data points, reducing dimensionality, and finding associations, unsupervised learning can uncover
insights that supervised methods may miss.
Reinforcement Learning

Adjust the model to maximize future rewards.

Reinforcement learning is a type of machine learning that focuses on an agent learning through trial-and-error interactions with its
environment. The agent observes the current state, takes an action, receives feedback in the form of rewards or penalties, and adjusts
its model to improve future decisions and maximize long-term rewards.
Natural Language Processing
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the field of AI that
enables computers to understand, interpret, and generate
human language. It involves techniques like speech recognition,
text analysis, and language generation.

NLP allows computers to communicate with people in their own

language, enabling a wide range of applications such as virtual
assistants, language translation, and sentiment analysis.
