History Of AI
The history of AI dates back to classical ages with machines and mechanical men in Greek mythology, like Talos, the giant bronze warrior guarding Crete. In 1950, Alan Turing proposed the Turing test to determine if a machine can think intelligently like a human. The first game AI emerged in 1951 with checkers and chess programs. The term "artificial intelligence" was coined in 1956 by John McCarthy. The first AI laboratory was established at MIT in 1959. Significant milestones include IBM's Deep Blue defeating Garry Kasparov in 1997, Stanley winning the DARPA Grand Challenge in 2005, and IBM's Watson defeating Jeopardy champions in 2011.
Demand For AI
The demand for AI is driven by increased computational power, the availability of vast amounts of data, and the development of better algorithms, particularly neural networks. Investments from universities, governments, startups, and tech giants like Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft also fuel AI's growth.
What Is Artificial Intelligence?
John McCarthy defined AI as the science and engineering of making intelligent machines that perform tasks requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and language translation. AI aims to make machines work and behave like humans, with applications in healthcare, robotics, marketing, and business analytics.
AI Applications
AI applications include Google's predictive search engine, JP Morgan Chase's Contract Intelligence Platform for legal document analysis, and IBM Watson for medical diagnostics. Google's AI Eye Doctor examines retinal scans for diabetic retinopathy. Social media platforms use AI for face verification and hate speech detection. Virtual assistants like Google Duplex book appointments with a human touch. Self-driving cars, personalized movie recommendations on Netflix, and Gmail's spam filtering are other prominent examples.
Types Of AI
AI is divided into three evolutionary stages: artificial narrow intelligence (weak AI), artificial general intelligence (strong AI), and artificial super intelligence. Artificial narrow intelligence focuses on specific tasks, like Alexa and self-driving cars. Artificial general intelligence involves machines performing any intellectual task a human can. Artificial super intelligence refers to computers surpassing human capabilities. Currently, only narrow intelligence exists.
Programming Languages For AI
Various programming languages can be used for AI, including Python, R, Java, Lisp, Prolog, C++, SaaS, JavaScript, MATLAB, and Julia. Python is favored for its simplicity, extensive libraries, and ease of implementation for AI and machine learning algorithms. Python features include simplicity, open-source availability, high-level language, portability, and support for multiple programming paradigms.
Introduction To Machine Learning
Machine learning is a subset of AI that enables machines to learn automatically and improve with experience without explicit programming. AI is a vast field encompassing machine learning, NLP, expert systems, and computer vision. Machine learning involves feeding data to a machine, training it, and building a predictive model using machine learning algorithms to predict outcomes or solve problems.
Need For Machine Learning
The need for machine learning arises from the exponential increase in data generation, which requires methods to process and derive useful insights. Machine learning improves decision-making, uncovers patterns and trends in data, and solves complex problems. Top-tier companies use machine learning models to identify profitable opportunities and avoid risks.
What Is Machine Learning?
Arthur Samuel coined the term "machine learning" in 1959. Machine learning is a subset of AI that provides machines with the ability to learn automatically and improve with experience without being explicitly programmed. It involves feeding data to a machine, training it, and building a model using machine learning algorithms to predict outcomes or find solutions to problems.
Machine Learning Definitions
Key machine learning terms include:
- Algorithm: A set of rules and statistical techniques used to learn patterns from data.
- Model: The main component of a machine learning process, trained using a machine learning algorithm.
- Predictor Variable: A feature of the data used to predict the output.
- Response Variable: The target or output variable that needs to be predicted.
- Training Data: Data used to create the machine learning model.
- Testing Data: Data used to evaluate the accuracy of the model.
Machine Learning Process
The machine learning process involves:
- Defining the objective of the problem.
- Gathering data.
- Preparing data (data cleaning).
- Data exploration.
- Building a model.
- Model evaluation and optimization.
- Making predictions.
Data cleaning is the most time-consuming step, involving handling inconsistencies, missing values, and redundant variables.
Types Of Machine Learning
There are three types of machine learning:
- Supervised Learning: Training a machine using well-labeled data.
- Unsupervised Learning: Training using unlabeled data, allowing the model to act without guidance.
- Reinforcement Learning: Placing an agent in an environment to learn by performing actions and observing rewards.
Supervised Learning
Supervised learning involves training a machine using well-labeled data, where the training data set acts as a guide. The output is also labeled.
Unsupervised Learning
Unsupervised learning involves training using unlabeled data, where the model acts without guidance, discovers patterns, and forms clusters based on feature similarity.
Reinforcement Learning
Reinforcement learning involves placing an agent in an environment to learn by performing actions and observing rewards. The agent explores the environment and learns from trial and error.
Supervised vs Unsupervised vs Reinforcement Learning
| Feature | Supervised Learning | Unsupervised Learning | Reinforcement Learning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Definition | Learning using labeled data | Learning using unlabeled data | Agent interacts with environment |
| Problem Types | Regression, Classification | Association, Clustering | Reward-based problems |
| Data Type | Labeled data | Unlabeled data | No predefined data set |
| Training | External supervision | No supervision | No supervision |
| Approach | Map input to known output | Understand patterns, discover output | Trial and error |
| Popular Algorithms | Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, SVM, KNN, Naive Bayes | K-means Clustering | Q-learning |
Types Of Problems Solved Using Machine Learning
Machine learning problems are classified into three types:
- Regression: Predicting a continuous quantity (e.g., speed of a car).
- Classification: Predicting a categorical value (e.g., spam or non-spam).
- Clustering: Assigning inputs into groups based on feature similarity (e.g., Netflix user groups).
Examples include predicting house pricing index (regression), approving bank loans (classification), and clustering movies (clustering).
Supervised Learning Algorithms
Supervised learning algorithms include linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, naive Bayes, support vector machines (SVM), and K-nearest neighbor (KNN).
Linear Regression
Linear regression is a supervised learning algorithm used to predict a continuous dependent variable based on independent variables. It assumes a linear relationship between the variables, represented by the equation y = B0 + B1*x + e, where y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, B0 is the y-intercept, B1 is the slope, and e is the error term.
Linear Regression Demo
A Python demo uses linear regression to predict maximum temperature based on minimum temperature. The process involves importing libraries, reading the data set, plotting data points, splitting data into training and testing sets, training the algorithm, and evaluating performance using metrics like mean absolute error, mean squared error, and root mean squared error.
Logistic Regression
Logistic regression is used to predict a categorical dependent variable. It models the probability of a binary outcome using a sigmoid curve, ensuring the output ranges between 0 and 1. The logistic regression equation is derived from the linear regression equation with alterations to handle categorical outputs.
Decision Tree
A decision tree is a supervised machine learning algorithm that looks like an inverted tree. Each node represents a predictor variable, links represent decisions, and leaf nodes represent outcomes. The ID3 algorithm is used to build a decision tree, using concepts of entropy and information gain. The best attribute is selected based on the highest information gain, and the process is repeated until the data is correctly classified.
Random Forest
Random forest builds multiple decision trees and combines them for more accurate and stable predictions. It reduces overfitting by using bagging, where the data set is divided into different samples, and each decision tree is built on a subset of the data. The final prediction is based on the majority vote from all decision trees.
Naive Bayes
Naive Bayes is a supervised classification algorithm based on Bayes' Theorem, which assumes that predictor variables are independent of each other. It calculates conditional probabilities to predict outcomes.
K Nearest Neighbour (KNN)
K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) is a supervised classification algorithm that classifies a new data point based on the features of its neighboring data points. The value of K represents the number of nearest neighbors considered. The Euclidean distance is used to measure the closeness of data points.
Support Vector Machine (SVM)
Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifies data using a hyperplane as a decision boundary. The optimal hyperplane maximizes the distance (margin) from the support vectors, which are the closest data points to the hyperplane. Kernel tricks are used to classify non-linear data by transforming it into a higher-dimensional space.
Demo (Classification Algorithms)
A Python demo implements multiple classification algorithms (logistic regression, decision tree, KNN, naive Bayes, and SVM) to distinguish between different types of fruits. The process involves importing libraries, reading the data, splitting data into training and testing sets, scaling the data, training the algorithms, and evaluating performance using accuracy scores and confusion matrices.
Unsupervised Learning Algorithms
Unsupervised learning algorithms are used to solve clustering problems. The most important clustering algorithm is K-means clustering.
K-means Clustering
K-means clustering groups similar elements into clusters. The algorithm involves selecting K centroids, computing the distance from each centroid to every data point, and assigning data points to the closest cluster. The centroids are recomputed until their positions do not change. The elbow method is used to find the optimal K value.
Demo (Unsupervised Learning)
A demo uses K-means clustering for color compression in images. The process involves importing libraries, loading an image, reshaping the data, and using MiniBatchKMeans to cluster similar colors into a specified number of clusters, thereby reducing the number of colors in the image.
Reinforcement Learning
Reinforcement learning involves an agent in an environment learning to behave by performing actions and observing rewards. Key concepts include reward maximization, exploration and exploitation trade-off, and Markov's decision process. The Q-learning algorithm is used to find the optimal policy for maximizing rewards.
Demo (Reinforcement Learning)
A Python demo implements the Q-learning algorithm to find the shortest path for an agent to reach a goal state in a set of interconnected rooms. The process involves defining the environment, setting rewards, initializing the Q-matrix, training the agent, and testing the learned policy.

Limitations Of Machine Learning
Limitations of machine learning include:
- Inability to handle high-dimensional data effectively.
- Dependence on insightful feature extraction by programmers.
These limitations led to the development of deep learning.
Introduction To Deep Learning
Deep learning overcomes the challenges of feature extraction by enabling models to learn to focus on the right features themselves, requiring minimal guidance. It mimics the way the human brain functions and learns from experience.
How Deep Learning Works?
Deep learning is inspired by the structure of the human brain, using artificial neurons (perceptrons) to replicate the function of biological neurons. A perceptron receives multiple inputs, applies transformations, and provides an output.
What Is Deep Learning?
Deep learning is a collection of statistical machine learning techniques used to learn feature hierarchies based on artificial neural networks.
Deep Learning Use Case
In image recognition, deep learning automatically finds important features, unlike machine learning, which requires manual feature definition.
Single Layer Perceptron
A single-layer perceptron is a linear binary classifier used in supervised learning. It has multiple inputs, each assigned a weight, and computes a function to produce an output.
Multi Layer Perceptron (ANN)
A multilayer perceptron has the same structure as a single-layer perceptron but with one or more hidden layers. It works on the concept of feed-forward neural networks, where each node at each layer is connected to every other node.
Backpropagation
Backpropagation is a supervised learning method for multilayer perceptrons used to update weights to minimize the error between the model output and the desired output.
Training A Neural Network
Training a neural network involves calculating the error, checking if the error is minimized, and updating the weights until the error reaches a global loss minimum. Gradient descent is used to adjust the weights in the network.
Limitations Of Feed Forward Network
Feed-forward networks cannot be used in cases where the previous output determines the next output, as the new output at time T+1 has no relationship with the output at time T.
Recurrent Neural Networks
Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are designed to recognize patterns in sequences of data, such as text, genomes, handwriting, and spoken words. They feed information from the previous input to the next input.
Convolutional Neural Networks
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are used for image processing. Unlike fully connected networks, neurons in a CNN are only connected to a small region of the layer before it, reducing overfitting.
