What is machine learning and how it works


Machine Learning is a subset of AI uses computer algorithms to analyse data to make intelligent decision based on what it has learnt.Instead following the rule based algorithms machine learning build models to classify and prediction from data.Lets understand this by exploring the problem which can be solve with machine learning.

Suppose that a heart is going to fail or not can be solved by machine learning. So the answer is 'yes'.Let we are giving the data set like BPM (beats per minute),BMI (body mass index),age,sex and result.With machine learning we are able to learn and create models that predicts the result.Machine learning relies on defining the behavioral rules by examining and comparing large dataset to find the common patterns.

For example we can provide the machine learning program with large volume pictures of bird and can train the model to identify the bird label whenever bird input is provided.When a picture of bird is provided to the machine learning model.It will show the picture with some confidence this type of learning is called the supervised learning.

Supervised Learning-

An algorithm is trained on the human-labeled data.The more sample you provide the supervised learning algorithm,the more precise it becomes in classifying new data.

Unsupervised Learning-

Unsupervised Learning is another type of machine language which relies algorithm to unlabeled data and letting it find patterns by itself.You provide the input but not labels and let machine infern qualities that algorithm ingest unlabeled data,draws inferences and find patterns.This kind of learning is useful for clustering data where data is grouped how much similar to its neighbour and dissimilar to everything else.Once the data is clustered then different technique can be used to find patterns from
that data.

Reinforcement Learning-

Reinforcement Learning relies on providing a machine learning algorithm with a set of rules and constraints and letting it learn how to achieve its goal.You define the state,desired goal,allowed actions and constraints.The algorithm figures out how achieve the goal by trying different combination of allowed actions and it is rewarded or punish depending on whether the decision was the good one or not.Reinforcement learning can be use to play chess.

ANN in depth

Artificial Neural Network Layers Artificial Neural network is typically organized in layers. Layers are being made up of many interconnected ‘nodes’ which contain an  ‘activation function’.  A neural network may contain the following 3 layers: a. Input layer The purpose of the input layer is to receive as input the values of the explanatory attributes for each observation. Usually, the number of input nodes in an input layer is equal to the number of explanatory variables. ‘input layer’ presents the patterns to the network, which communicates to one or more ‘hidden layers’. The nodes of the input layer are passive, meaning they do not change the data. They receive a single value on their input and duplicate the value to their many outputs. From the input layer, it duplicates each value and sent to all the hidden nodes. b. Hidden layer The  Hidden layers  apply given transformations to the input values inside the network. In this, incoming arcs that go...

5 machine learning applications

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere. Possibility is that you are using it in one way or the other and you don’t even know about it. One of the popular applications of AI is Machine Learning (ML), in which computers, software, and devices perform via cognition (very similar to human brain). Herein, we share few examples of machine learning that we use everyday and perhaps have no idea that they are driven by ML. 1. Virtual Personal Assistants Siri, Alexa, Google Now are some of the popular examples of virtual personal assistants. As the name suggests, they assist in finding information, when asked over voice. All you need to do is activate them and ask “What is my schedule for today?”, “What are the flights from Germany to London”, or similar questions. For answering, your personal assistant looks out for the information, recalls your related queries, or send a command to other resources (like phone apps) to collect info. You can even instruct assistants for certain tasks l...

What is nlp and computer vision

Some of the most common application areas of AI include natural language processing, speech, and computer vision. Now, let's look at each of these in turn. Humans have the most advanced method of communication which is known as natural language. While humans can use computers to send voice and text messages to each other, computers do not innately know how to process natural language. Natural language processing is a subset of artificial intelligence that enables computers to understand the meaning of human language. Natural language processing uses machine learning and deep learning algorithms to discern a word semantic meaning. It does this by deconstructing sentences grammatically, relationally, and structurally and understanding the context of use. For instance, based on the context of a conversation, NLP can determine if the word "Cloud" is a reference to cloud computing or the mass of condensed water vapor floating in the sky.  NLP systems might also be a...
