1. Introduction to AI and ML
- AI and ML are transforming multiple industries: voice assistants, self-driving cars, medical diagnosis, stock market prediction.
- The course covers fundamentals of AI, hands-on ML and deep learning, important algorithms, tools, future insights, and interview preparation.
- AI enables machines to perform tasks requiring human intelligence: natural language understanding, pattern recognition, decision making, learning from experience.
- Alan Turing’s Turing Test (1950) is a benchmark to evaluate machine intelligence.
2. Types and Stages of Artificial Intelligence
Types of AI by Capability:
- Weak AI (Artificial Narrow Intelligence): Focused on specific tasks (e.g., Siri, Alexa, self-driving cars).
- Strong AI (Artificial General Intelligence): Machines with human-like intelligence, self-aware, capable of reasoning and planning (not yet realized).
- Artificial Super Intelligence: Machines surpassing human intelligence (hypothetical, sci-fi level).
Stages of AI Development:
- Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI): Performs specific tasks without true understanding.
- Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): Machines that think and reason like humans.
- Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI): Machines that exceed human intelligence.
Types of AI by Functionality:
- Reactive Machines: No memory, act only on present data (e.g., IBM chess program).
- Limited Memory: Use recent data to make decisions (e.g., self-driving cars).
- Theory of Mind: Understand emotions and human beliefs (research ongoing).
- Self-aware AI: Machines with consciousness (theoretical, not developed).
3. Domains/Branches of AI
- Machine Learning (ML): Machines learn from data to solve problems (supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement learning).
- Deep Learning: Neural networks with multiple layers to learn complex patterns.
- Natural Language Processing (NLP): Understanding and generating human language.
- Robotics: AI applied to physical agents acting in real environments.
- Expert Systems: Mimic human decision-making using rule-based logic.
- Fuzzy Logic: Handles reasoning with degrees of truth, useful in complex decision making.
4. Relationship between AI, ML, and Deep Learning
- AI is the broad umbrella.
- ML is a subset of AI focusing on data-driven learning.
- Deep Learning is a subset of ML using neural networks inspired by the human brain.
- Deep Learning excels with large data and complex feature extraction.
5. Machine Learning Fundamentals
ML enables computers to learn and improve from data without explicit programming.
ML process steps:
- Define objective.
- Gather data.
- Prepare/clean data.
- Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA).
- Build ML model (train/test split).
- Evaluate and optimize model.
- Make predictions.
Types of ML:
- Supervised Learning: Uses labeled data for classification/regression.
- Unsupervised Learning: Uses unlabeled data to find patterns/clusters.
- Reinforcement Learning: Agent learns by trial and error in an environment, optimizing rewards.
ML Problem Types:
- Regression: Predict continuous values.
- Classification: Predict categorical labels.
- Clustering: Group data based on similarity.
Popular ML Algorithms:
- Regression: Linear regression, decision trees, random forests.
- Classification: Logistic regression, SVM, KNN, Naive Bayes.
- Clustering: K-means, hierarchical clustering.
- Reinforcement: Q-learning.
6. Python for AI and ML
Python is preferred due to:
- Less coding, simple syntax.
- Extensive pre-built libraries (TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, NumPy, Keras, NLTK).
- Platform independence.
- Massive community support.
Popular libraries:
- TensorFlow: Flexible, supports CPU/GPU, parallel training.
- Scikit-learn: ML algorithms, cross-validation, feature extraction.
- NumPy: Mathematical computations.
- Keras: High-level neural network API.
- NLTK: Natural Language Processing toolkit.
7. Deep Learning
- Addresses ML limitations like manual feature extraction and handling high-dimensional data.
- Based on artificial neural networks inspired by biological neurons.
- Components of a perceptron: inputs, weights, summation, activation function.
- Multi-layer perceptrons (MLP) with hidden layers solve complex, non-linear problems.
- Training involves adjusting weights via backpropagation to minimize error.
- Real-world applications: fraud detection (PayPal), face verification.
