QUARTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO AI

Week 2: Artificial Intelligence: A Paradigm


Objectives:
- This module aims:
1. To describe artificial intelligence;
2. To compare general AI and narrow AI; and
3. To discuss machine learning.

Its performance had already surpassed that of humans by 2001 in several


specialized domains, including machine translation and object categorization.
Because the underlying technology had improved, researchers were able to
increase its performance over the following few years on a variety of tasks.
The creation of reinforcement learning algorithms based on generative models
was the second important discovery at this time. With the use of generative
models, complex behaviors may be learned from very little data by producing
unique instances from a particular class. They may be used, for instance, to
teach someone how to drive after just 20 minutes of practice.

Over the past ten years, there have been several other noteworthy advancements
in AI in addition to these two. Deep neural networks are being used more and
more for computer vision applications like object recognition and scene
interpretation. The use of machine learning techniques in natural language
processing applications, such as information extraction and question answering,
has also gained more attention.

Lastly, there's been an increasing interest in applying similar technologies to


speech recognition tasks such as speaker identification (SID) and automated
speech recognition (ASR).

Various AI fields to dispel common misunderstandings


In computer science, artificial intelligence is now the most popular area. But
because of all the new research and technology, it's expanding so quickly that
it might be bewildering.

The ability to program computers to perform tasks that would normally need
human intelligence is known as artificial intelligence or AI for short. Machine
learning (ML) and neural networks (NN) are the two main subfields of artificial
intelligence (AI). Each of these artificial intelligence subfields has its
techniques and algorithms for problem-solving.

Machine learning
Using data and experience, machine learning (ML) enables computers to
perform better on certain tasks or during decision-making. For this, ML makes
use of probability theory and statistics. Algorithms are used in machine learning
to analyze data, draw conclusions from it, and do so without the need for
explicit programming. Algorithms for machine learning are frequently divided
into supervised and unsupervised categories.

While unsupervised algorithms can make deductions from datasets, supervised


algorithms can apply prior learnings to new data sets. The goal of machine
learning algorithms is to find both linear and non-linear correlations in each
data collection. By using statistical techniques to train the algorithm to classify
or predict from a dataset, this accomplishment is made possible.

Deep learning is a branch of machine learning that achieves cutting-edge


accuracy in language translation, speech recognition, and object detection by
utilizing multi-layered artificial neural networks.

One of the key technologies underlying autonomous vehicles is deep learning,


which allows machines to analyze vast volumes of complicated data and
recognize faces in images or videos.

Networks of neurons
Inspired by the biological neurons found in the human brain, neural networks
are made up of layers of interconnected nodes known as "neurons" that have
mathematical functions built in to interpret incoming input and forecast an
output value. An artificial neural network picks up knowledge by observation,
much like people do from their parents, instructors, and friends. An input layer,
hidden layers, and an output layer are the minimum number of layers that make
them up. Nodes, also called neurons, are found in each layer, and it is from their
weighted inputs that the output is calculated.

Traditional machine learning models reach a plateau in performance, and


adding additional data won't make it any better. With additional data, deep
learning models' performance keeps getting better.

Various algorithms are used in these sectors based on the specific use case. For
machine learning, for instance, we have boosting, decision trees, random
forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-nearest neighbors (kNN), and
others. There are several types of neural networks, including long short-term
memory networks (LSTMs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and
convolutional neural networks (CNNs).

Nevertheless, splitting AI into "narrow AI" and "general AI" would need further
segmenting of the technology based on its strengths and capacities. Narrow AI
is concerned with teaching robots to perform a certain activity exceptionally
well, such as picture recognition or chess playing. Devices with general

artificial intelligence (AI) can perform all human tasks and more. Many
academics hope that machine learning will someday lead to broad artificial
intelligence, although current research is focused on narrow AI.

How AI is unique across many businesses.


Global acceptance of AI as a burgeoning technology has occurred. It has been
transforming the industry from several industries for a while now. It is an all-
encompassing technology used in nearly every sector of the economy.
