AI HISTORY AND ML BASICS

CAN MACHINES THINK?
▸ AI makes it possible for machines to learn from
experience, adjust to new inputs and think and behave like
humans

▸ The term “artificial intelligence” was coined in 1956 by

John McCarthy at the Dartmouth Conference, which was
the first conference dedicated to AI.

▸ Alan Turing

▸ Mathematician in the 1900’s

▸ Turing Test — tests the intelligence capacity of a machine

MACHINE LEARNING

▸ Study involving algorithms that can learn from data and

experiences

▸ Unsupervised learning — unlabelled data

▸ Supervised learning — labelled data

▸ Classification

▸ Regression

▸ Reinforcement learning
CLASSIFICATION VS REGRESSION
▸ Classification

▸ Outputs discrete values

▸ Groups data points into different classes

▸ Examples: filtering spam emails

▸ Regression

▸ Output is continuous

▸ Examples: predicting house prices
