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 able to understand intent and emotion, such as whether you're asking a question out of frustration, confusion, or irritation. Understanding the real intent of the user's language,NLP systems draw inferences through a broad array of linguistic models and algorithms. Natural language processing is broken down into many subcategories related to audio and visual tasks. For computers to communicate in natural language, they need to be able to convert speech into text, so communication is more natural and easy to process.

They also need to be able to convert text-to-speech, so users can interact with computers without the requirement to stare at a screen. The older iterations of speech-to-text technology require programmers to go through tedious process of discovering and codifying the rules of classifying and converting voice samples into text. With neural networks, instead of coding the rules, you provide voice samples and their corresponding text.The neural network finds the common patterns among the pronunciation of words and then learns to map new voice recordings to their corresponding texts. These advances in speech-to-text technology are the reason we have real time transcription. Google uses AI-powered speech-to-text in there Call Screen feature to handle scam calls and show you the text of the person speaking in real time. YouTube uses this to provide automatic closed captioning. The flip side of speech-to-text is text-to-speech also known as speech synthesis. In the past, the creation of a voice model required hundreds of hours of coding. 

Now, with the help of neural networks, synthesizing human voice has become possible. First, a neural network ingests numerous samples of a person's voice until it can tell whether a new voice sample belongs to the same person. Then, a second neural network generates audio data and runs it through the first network to see if it validates it as belonging to the subject. If it does not, the generator corrects its sample and reruns it through the classifier. The two networks repeat the process until they generate samples that sound natural. Companies use AI-powered voice synthesis to enhance customer experience and give their brands their unique voice. In the medical field, this technology is helping ALS patients regain their true voice instead of using a computerized voice. The field of computer vision focuses on replicating parts of the complexity of the human visual system, and enabling computers to identify and process objects in images and videos, in the same way humans do. 

Computer vision is one of the technologies that enables the digital world to interact with the physical world. The field of computer vision has taken great leaps in recent years and surpasses humans in tasks related to detecting and labeling objects, thanks to advances in deep learning and neural networks. This technology enables self-driving cars to make sense of their surroundings. It plays a vital role in facial recognition applications allowing computers to match images of people's faces to their identities. 

It also plays a crucial role in augmented and mixed reality. The technology that allows computing devices such as smartphones, tablets, and smart glasses to overlay and embed virtual objects on real-world imagery. Online photo libraries like Google Photos, use computer vision to detect objects and classify images by the type of content they contain.

What is Artificial Intelligence,its type and applications

AI is a part of Computer Science.AI is anything that makes machine more intelligent. AI is a technology which can not replace human intelligence but rather it can extend human capabilities.Now a days AI is most wanted and powerful technology.Every industry wants to have its AI system because it can process very large amount of data in less time. How does AI learn ? The intelligence which machine having is only provided by us.So basically we provide to machine  ability to examine and create machine learning models based on inputs and desired output and we do this based on supervised learning,unsupervised learning and reinforcement learning. Types of AI based on Strength Weak or Narrow AI- Narrow AI is that applied on specific domain.It can perform specific task but can not learn new things its own.It can only make decision based on programmed algorithms and trained data.For example AI powered based searches,virtual assistant,self driving cars,language translato...

Can AI be dangerous

CAN AI BE DANGEROUS? Most researchers agree that a superintelligent AI is unlikely to exhibit human emotions like love or hate, and that there is no reason to expect AI to become intentionally benevolent or malevolent.  Instead, when considering how AI might become a risk, experts think two scenarios most likely: The AI is programmed to do something devastating:   Autonomous weapons are artificial intelligence systems that are programmed to kill. In the hands of the wrong person, these weapons could easily cause mass casualties. Moreover, an AI arms race could inadvertently lead to an AI war that also results in mass casualties. To avoid being thwarted by the enemy, these weapons would be designed to be extremely difficult to simply “turn off,” so humans could plausibly lose control of such a situation. This risk is one that’s present even with narrow AI, but grows as levels of AI intelligence and autonomy increase. The AI is programm...

What is deep learning and how it is improving the machine learning

While Machine Learning is a subset of Artificial Intelligence , Deep Learning is a specialized subset of Machine Learning . Deep Learning layers algorithms to create a Neural Network, an artificial replication of the structure and functionality of the brain, enabling AI systems to continuously learn on the job and improve the quality and accuracy of results. This is what enables these systems to learn from unstructured data such as photos, videos, and audio files. Deep Learning, for example, enables natural language understanding capabilities of AI systems, and allows them to work out the context and intent of what is being conveyed. Deep learning algorithms do not directly map input to output. Instead, they rely on several layers of processing units. Each layer passes its output to the next layer, which processes it and passes it to the next. The many layers is why it’s called deep learning. When creating deep learning algorithms,developers and engineers configure the number...
