Describe Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning and deep learning
Concept of AI
• Concept of Artificial intelligence (AI)
• Artificial intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems.
Scope of AI:
• The ultimate goal of artificial intelligence is to create computer programs that can solve
• problems and achieve goals like humans would. There is scope in developing machines in
• robotics, computer vision, language detection machine, game playing, expert systems, speech
• recognition machine and much more.
• The following factors characterize a career in artificial intelligence:
• Automation
• Robotics
• The use of sophisticated computer software
Particular applications of AI include
Expert systems :- An expert system is a computer program that uses artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to simulate the
judgment and behavior of a human or an organization that has expert knowledge and experience in a particular field.
Speech recognition:- Voice recognition systems enable consumers to interact with technology simply by speaking to it.
Machine vision:- Machine vision is the ability of a computer to see; it employs one or more video cameras, analog-to-digital
conversion (ADC) and digital signal processing (DSP). The resulting data goes to a computer or robot controller.
Components of AI
• There are six key components that are essential to AI.
1. AI Applications: Packaged applications that solve a business
problem (i.e., virtual agents, financial planning)
2. Data Prep and Cleansing: Make your data ready for AI
3. Model, Build, Train and Run: The studio of a data science artist to
build, train and run models (machine learning)
4. Consumer Features: Speech, images and vision, primarily used in
consumer use cases
5. Natural Language Processing: The nervous system of enterprise AI
6. Lifecycle Management: Managing the lifecycle of AI models and
understanding how they perform
Types of AI
Application of AI
What is Machine Learning?
• Machine Learning
• Study of algorithms that
• improve their performance
• at some task
• with experience
• Optimize a performance criterion using example data or past
experience.
• Role of Statistics: Inference from a sample
• Role of Computer science: Efficient algorithms to
• Solve the optimization problem
• Representing and evaluating the model for inference
Growth of Machine Learning
• Machine learning is preferred approach to
• Speech recognition, Natural language processing
• Computer vision
• Medical outcomes analysis
• Robot control
• Computational biology
• This trend is accelerating
• Improved machine learning algorithms
• Improved data capture, networking, faster computers
• Software too complex to write by hand
• New sensors / IO devices
When Do We Use Machine Learning?
• ML is used when:
• Human expertise does not exist (navigating on Mars)
• Humans can’t explain their expertise (speech recognition)
• Models must be customized (personalized medicine)
• Models are based on huge amounts of data (genomics)
Types of Machine Learning
Sample Applications
• Web search
• • Computational biology
• • Finance
• • E-commerce
• • Space exploration
• • Robotics
• • Information extraction
• • Social networks
• • Debuggingsoftware
What is Deep Learning?
• Deep learning is a computer software that mimics the network of neurons in a brain. It is a subset
of machine learning and is called deep learning because it makes use of deep neural networks.
• Deep learning algorithms are constructed with connected layers.
• The first layer is called the Input Layer
• The last layer is called the Output Layer
• All layers in between are called Hidden Layers. The word deep means the network join neurons in
more than two layers.
