Understanding Key AI Concepts and Terminology
In this tutorial, we delve deeper into AI, discussing key concepts and terminology. You'll learn about different types of AI, machine learning, and much more.
Section overview
5 resourcesCovers the basics of Artificial Intelligence and Automation, including key concepts and applications.
1. Introduction
Welcome to this tutorial where we will be diving into the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI), learning about its key concepts, and understanding its terminology. This tutorial aims to make you familiar with the basics of AI and give you a solid foundation for further learning.
What you will learn:
- Different types of AI
- Understanding Machine Learning
- Key AI concepts and terminology
Prerequisites:
- Basic knowledge of programming (in any language)
- Understanding of basic math and statistics
2. Step-by-Step Guide
2.1 Understanding Types of AI
AI is broadly classified into two types - Narrow AI and General AI.
Narrow AI: These are systems designed to perform a narrow task (e.g., facial recognition, voice command, etc.) and cannot outperform humans in tasks they're not specifically designed for.
Example: Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant, etc.
General AI: These systems can perform any intellectual task that a human being can. They can understand, learn, adapt, and implement knowledge in a wide array of tasks.
Example: Data analysis, problem-solving, complex decision making, etc.
2.2 Understanding Machine Learning
Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of AI that focuses on the development of computer programs that can learn from and make decisions or predictions based on data.
Example: Netflix's recommendation system, Facebook's news feed, etc.
There are three types of machine learning - supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning.
3. Code Examples
3.1 Machine Learning with Python
Here we'll use Python's scikit-learn library to create a simple linear regression model.
# Import necessary libraries
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
from sklearn import metrics
import pandas as pd
# Load dataset
dataset = pd.read_csv('student_scores.csv')
# Split data into 'attributes' and 'labels'
X = dataset['Hours'].values.reshape(-1,1)
y = dataset['Scores'].values.reshape(-1,1)
# Split the data into training and test sets
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=0)
# Train the algorithm
regressor = LinearRegression()
regressor.fit(X_train, y_train)
# Make predictions
y_pred = regressor.predict(X_test)
# Compare actual output values with predicted values
df = pd.DataFrame({'Actual': y_test.flatten(), 'Predicted': y_pred.flatten()})
print(df)
