Machine Learning: A discussion

 

When we talk about ML we think of machine learning some things. Here we will discuss about how these machines are learning. First let me tell you that we need to understand how computers works so when you press any key from your keyboard assign value which is in terms of binary language goes into the mother board from there it retrieves the value which is stored in your operating system to display on to the screen; once that value has found out then motherboard sends signals to your display or monitor and your monitor reads that signal and assigns pixels to display that letter with appropriate color codes. This is how a computer is functioning.

Now in order to understand ML it is same as above but with some minor changes. First change; in computer for each letter value may be assign to it while in ML computer has to compute the data or compare and group the data in order to assign value , so in ML there is no value assigned to it rather it finds the value by doing some computations.

artificial intelligence is going to have a bigger impact on the world than some of the most ubiquitous innovations in history.

There are three kind of approaches to follow to teach machine; Supervise learning, Unsupervised learning, Reinforcement learning. Supervise learning is like if you want to teach computer to identify between dogs and cats in order to do this first you provide DATA of dogs and cats then you will show pictures of dogs and cats then computer tries to match the data to given photos to come to any conclusion.

NOTE: this is the simplest way to understand rather in real life these things are more complicated.

Then we have unsupervised learning where there will be no data available to the computer; computer will find structure by trial and error. Here comes reinforcement learning; computer deals with the real world environment to perform task like driving a car; here he start learning physical gadgets to perform tasks.

In above video that guy design AI which can learn and then operate in real life. So that would be the live example of reinforcement learning. Here you should check out this link to find a fun quiz about machine learning.

That's it for today in upcoming articles we will discuss these things in very deep so stay tuned and subscribe or leave email id in comment so you can get notify.
