12. Some of the sources of AI Bias are: Data: AI systems are the result of the data that is fed
into them. The data used to train the AI system is the first step to check for biasness. The

Touchpad Artificial Intelligence-IX (Answer Key) 5

 dataset for AI systems should be realistic and need to be of a sufficient size. However, the
largest data collected from the real world may also reflect human subjectivity and underlying
social biases. The Amazon AI recruitment system is a good example. It was found that their
recruitment system was not selecting candidates in a gender neutral way. The machine
learning algorithm was based on the number of resumes submitted over a period of 10
years, that most of them were men, so it favoured men over women.
Algorithms: The algorithms in itself do not add biasness to an AI model, but it amplifies

the biasness. Let's see an example of an image classifier model. Its trained on images in the
public domain— pictures of people's kitchens. It so happens that most of the images are of
women rather than men. AI algorithms are designed to maximise the accuracy. Therefore,
an AI algorithm may decide that the people in the kitchen are women despite the fact some
of the images are of men.

algorithms that has to be trained on a set of data (which was acquired at the data acquisition
stage for the problem you scoped in the problem scoping stage) and apply that learning to
ecognize certain types of patterns.
3. AI Project Cycle has 5 stages:
a. Problem Scoping b. Data Acquisition c. Data Exploration
d. Modelling e. Evaluation
4. There are two types of data:

Training Data: It is data on which we train our AI project model. It is basically to fit the
parameters of the project for the model. In training data, the output is available to the model.

Testing Data: It is used to check the performance of an AI model. In testing data, the data
is not seen for which the predictions have to be made.
5. Data can also be collected from various sensors like collecting environmental data and stored
in some data storage solutions. Sensors are connected through gateways which enable them
to collect live data in the offline mode.
6. There are times using the internet, we acquire unauthentic data from websites for our AI
project. Extracting private data can be an offence.

So, keeping this in mind we should ensure the data is collected from open-sourced websites
hosted by the government. They are one of the most reliable and authentic sources of
information.

Touchpad Artificial Intelligence-IX (Answer Key) 7

 7. Data is the base for any AI project to be built. When the data is acquired, it's important to

develops its own pattern or trends based on data outputs.
12. Machine learning aims at making a machine that can learn through data and solve complex
problems. Deep learning aims at building neural network that can help in discovering patterns
or trends.
D. 1. AI project cycle is the process of converting the real-life problem into an AI based model.
The project cycle framework is designed to help project managers guide their projects
successfully from start to end. The purpose of the project life cycle is to create an easy-to-
follow framework to guide projects. The AI project cycle provides us with an appropriate
framework which can lead us towards our goal.
a. Problem Scoping: The first stage of an AI project cycle is problem scoping to identify
the problem and have a vision to solve it. Problem scoping means selecting a problem
and finding a solution for it using AI technology. The project identifies the area in which
AI can be used to provide a solution.
Many times we are unable to observe any problem in our surroundings. In that case, we
can take a look at the Sustainable Development Goals. 17 goals have been announced
by the United Nations which are termed as the Sustainable Development Goals. The aim
is to achieve these goals by the end of 2030.
b. Modelling: It is the design phase of the project cycle. In this, we select the best way to
reach the solution. It requires the process of selecting the right algorithm to develop a
working model for the project. In this step, the algorithm is converted into a model.
c. Data Acquisition: The term data acquisition means collecting raw data for the purpose of
reference or analysis for the project. The data can be in the form of text, numbers, images,
videos or audio. The data acquisition system allows us to obtain valuable information
about reality to improve the performance of the project.

4. A system map is a diagrammatic representation of a set of things working together. It focuses

on the components and boundaries of a system. System map helps us to find relationships
between different elements of the problem which we have scoped. It helps to find a solution
to achieve the goal of our project.
5. We use system maps to understand the complex issues that have inter connected factors
affecting each other. A system comprises of:
a. Elements: These are different, discrete elements within the system.
b. Interconnections: These are the relationships that connect the elements.
Rules for system maps are:
a. The circles represent elements.
b. Arrows are used to represent relationships/interconnections.
c. The '+' and '-' signs are indicators of the nature of a relationship. The arrowhead depicts
the direction of the effect and the sign (+ or -) shows their relationship.
d. If the arrow goes from X to Y with a + sign, it means that both are directly related to each
other. That means if X increases, Y also increases and vice versa.
e. If the arrow goes from X to Y with a -sign, it means that both the elements are inversely
related to each other. That means if X increases, Y would decrease and vice versa.

 6. There are various sources to collect relevant data for our project:
a. Surveys: Data can be collected from online surveys, telephonic surveys or in person surveys
and collect responses. Surveys are a way of collecting data from a group of people in
order to gain information and insights into various topics of interest. The process involves
asking people for information through questionnaires which can be online or offline.
It can be considered as a data source.
b. Web Scraping: Data or information can also be extracted from a website.
Web scraping or Data scraping is the method of downloading information from the
World Wide Web (WWW) and storing it onto your computer for later reference. The data
collected in this way is an online data.
c. Sensors: Data can also be collected from various sensors like collecting environmental
data and stored in some data storage solutions. Sensors are connected through gateways
which enable them to collect live data in the offline mode.
d. Cameras: Data can be seen, written down or recorded onto the computer. Cameras are
used to collect data in the form of images. CCTV, web cameras, surveillance cameras are
big sources of visual data that can be acquired from various places.
e. Observations: It is a method of collecting data by watching facts as they occur. Using
the observation technique data can be analysed and used for testing the model.
f. Application Programming Interface (APIs): APIs are a set of functions and procedures
that allow one application to connect to another. So, one of the ways of collecting
data is through APIs that can be used to collect data from social media services for
analysis.
7. Data exploration refers to the initial step in data analysis in which data analysts use data
visualization and statistical techniques to describe dataset characterizations, such as size,
quantity, and accuracy, in order to better understand the nature of the data.
Data exploration techniques include both manual analysis and automated data exploration
software solutions that visually explore and identify relationships between different data
variables, the structure of the dataset, the presence of outliers, and the distribution of data
values in order to reveal patterns and points of interest, enabling data analysts to gain greater
insight into the raw data.
8. Here are 10 elements of good data visualization that can help you present information that
readers can process quickly and easily.
• Clear Headings and Keys.

problems.
It is a subset of data science. It is a subset of AI.
It is the simulation of intelligence It is the training of machines to take
in machines. decisions with experience.

10. Following are some of the important points to consider while designing a decision tree:
• There can be a possibility of multiple decision trees which lead to correct prediction for

a single dataset. The simplest one should be chosen.
• The dataset might contain redundant data at times, which does not have any reference

while creating a decision tree. Therefore, it is necessary that only those parameters that
affect the output directly should be included.
• While making Decision Trees, one should take a look at the dataset given to them and

try to figure out what pattern does the output leaf follow. Try selecting any one output
and on its basis, find out the common links which all the similar outputs have.
11. Decision trees are tools that follow a rule based approach that uses a tree-like model of
decisions and their possible consequences. It is a kind of flow chart, where the flow starts at
the root node and ends with a decision made at the leaves. It is used to depict conditions
and their outcomes. It is one of the most widely used and practical methods for supervised
learning.
12. Machine Learning: Machines need to learn the ways of humans by learning the techniques
and processes. So machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that uses statistical
methods that enable machines to improve with experiences. So machines learn from their
mistakes and take them into consideration in the next iteration, this way they keep improving
with experience. For example, Snapchat filters and Netflix recommendations.

D. 1. The three advantages of neural networks are:
• Parallel processing capability
• Data is stored on the entire network
• Capable of learning from non-linear and complex data
2. ANN is made up of three basic layers— Input, Hidden and Output. The input layer accepts
the inputs, the hidden layer processes the inputs, and the output layer produces the result
where each layer tries to learn from the computed weights.
3. Neural networks are made up of layers of neurons, just like the human brain that consists
of millions of neurons. These neurons are the core processing units of the network.
E. 1. 
Just like the human brain where all neurons are interconnected to one another, artificial neural
networks also have a large number of artificial neurons(nodes) that are interconnected to
one another in a sequence of layers of the networks.
Dendrites in the human brain receive the impulse and pass on to the cell body of the neuron.
From the cell body the impulse travels to the axon and passes to another neuron attached
through a joint called synapses. This process goes on through a complex network of neurons
to get the desired stimulus of the impulse.
Similarly, the artificial neurons(nodes) take input data and perform simple operations on the
data. The result of these operations is passed to other artificial neurons(nodes) which are
arranged in a sequence of layers.
2. There are three types of neurons in our body:
a. Sensory neuron: It carries the sensory signals from sensory organs to the brain. It gets
activated when you touch, smell, hear, see or feel something.
b. Motor Neuron: It carries the signal from the brain or spinal cord to the organs, glands
or muscles to carry out voluntary or involuntary movement.
c. Interneuron: They connect the sensory and motor neurons to help in the transmission
of signals and form a complex internal neuron network.
3. Following are the two AI models:
• Regression is an example of rule-based AI models. This is a type of Rule Based AI model.

12 Touchpad Artificial Intelligence-IX (Answer Key)

 In regression, the algorithm generates a mapping function from the given data, as shown
by the solid line in the given graph. The blue dots shown in the graph are the data values
and the solid line here represents the mapping done for them. With the help of this
mapping function, we can predict the future data. It works with continuous data.
•  lustering is a machine learning approach where the machine partitions the dataset into
C
different clusters or categories based on machine generated algorithms. The data fed to such
a model is usually unlabeled or random and thus the developer feeds in the data directly into
the machine and instructs it to build its own algorithm. The machine then forms a pattern
or cluster based on training data and groups those that follow the same pattern. The best
clustering is the one that minimizes the error. Clustering works on discrete dataset.

false then it will not be allowed to enter within the loop and it stops.
13. This function sorts the list in ascending or descending order. This is done "in the list itself"
and works for the list with values of the same data types.

3. To solve this problem of writing a program we follow some steps as given below:
a. Understanding the Problem: This is a very important and difficult step where we need to
understand the main objective of a problem. Give more time to this step as the better
you understand the problem, the easier it will be to solve it.
b. Analyzing the Problem: In this step, we analyse what kind of data can be given as an
input, what formula or tool to use to do the processing and in which format the output
will be displayed.
4. There are three different types of control structures Sequential flow, Selection flow and
Repetition flow.
Sequential Flow

In sequential flow, the statements are placed one after the other and the flow of execution
occurs starting from line1, line2 and so on with a top-down approach. It is the default flow
followed in any programming language. For example, steps for calculating percentage of
any student are:

18 Touchpad Artificial Intelligence-IX (Answer Key)

 a. Input marks of English Hindi and Math
b. Total the marks
c. Calculate the percentage
d. Display the percentage
Selection Flow
Selection flow is also known as branching control as the flow of control branches based on
a condition. A condition evaluates to either TRUE or FALSE. In the case of TRUE, the flow of
control follows the set of instructions written for True. In case it is FALSE then it follows the
other route. For example, if we consider the above example where we have a condition-award
to be given if the percentage is more than 90 only.
a. Input marks of English Hindi and Math
b. Total the marks
c. Calculate the percentage
d. Display the percentage
If percentage is more than 90 then
Display "Award given"
Otherwise
Display "No award"
Repetition Flow

Repetition flow is also known as a loop as it repeats a set of instructions a number of times
based on a condition. For example, if we wish to repeat the above steps of calculating
percentage for 10 students then we follow the concept of repetition.
a. Repeat for 10 people
• Input marks of English Hindi and Math
• Total the marks
• Calculate the percentage
• Display the percentage
• If percentage is more than 90 then
Display "Award given"
Otherwise
Display "No award"
b. Go up again till number of repeats is less than or equal to 10

6. Following are some number types:
• Integer: Integers are whole numbers (+ve, -ve or 0) with no fractions or decimal value. Its
length is dependent on the available memory. For example, 10, 124, 4567, 7812568751.
• Float: It is a real number with floating point representation. For example, 15.5 and 12.0.
It can also be represented using the exponent notation E. For example, 1E5 is 100000.
• Complex: It is made up of a real number and an imaginary number. For example, 3+2i
where 3 is a real number and 2i is an imaginary number.
7. There are three kind of errors which a programmer encounters in Python— syntax error,
logical error and runtime error.
Syntax Error

Syntax means writing the code following the rules of Python language. Syntax error is occurred
when we violating the rules of Python language.

20 Touchpad Artificial Intelligence-IX (Answer Key)

 This is the most common type of an error made by a programmer. If there is typing error,
incorrect indentation, or incorrect arguments given in a function then Python will not be
able to interpret the instruction and will raise a syntax error.
Logical Error

This kind of error is difficult to find since the program will run correctly but the desired
output is not achieved. This happens if we give a wrong formula for the calculation to be
done, write wrong logic for the problem to be solved through the code.
Runtime Error

Runtime error occurs during the execution of a program like wrong input or output errors,
undefined object errors, division by zero errors. This type of error will halt the program
execution unexpectedly.
8. The three programming constructs are:
Sequential Statements

A step-by-step process of execution of code is called sequential flow of control. This is the
default flow of execution of a program. It means that the computer will run the code one
line at a time starting from line 1, followed by line 2 and so on till it reaches the last line of
the program.
Selection Statements

In Python, Selection flow of control is achieved through conditional statements. In the
conditional/selection statements, flow of control is changed based on a condition. We specify
the condition in the program which evaluates to either True or False.
If condition is True then the block of statement written for True will be executed and in case
the condition is False then the block of statements for False will be executed.
Iterative Statements

In Python, the process of repeating a set of instructions based on a condition is called loop.
There are two types of loops in Python— for loop and while loop.
9. The for Loop
The for loop is used to repeat a set of instructions for a fixed number of times. It means
the number of iterations are known/definite before we start with the execution of a loop.
Therefore, the for loop is also known as definite loop. Indentation of statements is must to
specify the block of statements to be repeated using the for loop.
The while loop

The while loop is used to repeat a set of instructions as long as the condition is true. It means
when the number of iterations are not fixed/indefinite before we start with the execution of
a loop. It is therefore known as indefinite loop. Indentation of statements is must to specify
the block of statements to be repeated using while loop.

 10. Using the range() Function: The range( ) function is an inbuilt function that is used to generate
a set of values between the specified range.
for <Var> in range(<Start>, <End+1>, <Step>):
Statements
Where,
for, in and range are keywords.
Start, End and Step are parameters of range() function and will
always be integers.
Start is a starting value of loop and End is an ending value+1 of loop,
Step is the number of steps taken to reach the end value.
If only two parameters are used then Step value becomes 1 by default.
If only one parameter is used the Start becomes 0 and Step becomes 1
by default.
If Start > End then Step is a -ve integer should be given.
If Start < End then Step is a +ve integer.
If Start >= End and Step value is not specified then it assumes as +ve
which is an invalid condition to run a loop so the loop will not execute at
all.

12. The list has the following important features:
• It is mutable data type.
• It is an ordered sequence of values.
• Each element is separated by comma and enclosed in square brackets [ ].
• Each value/element is accessed by an index number.
The values can be added, modified or deleted by the user throughout the program.
It stores the values of different data types.

 13. There are two different functions used to remove elements in an existing list remove( )
and pop( ).
The remove( ) Function

The remove( ) function removes the first occurrence of the element with the specified
value. It means only one value can be removed at a time even if there are duplicate values
in the list. If you wish to remove multiple values then this function can be used within a loop
where it repeats itself a specific number of times.
The pop( ) Function

The pop( ) function removes an element from the list based on the index number specified
in the function and returns the deleted value. In case no index number is given then by
default it removes the last element from the list. If we try to remove an index number which
does not exist then it gives an IndexError.
14. The * operator is used to replicate a list specific number of times. With * operator, one
operand has to be a list and the other should only be an integer, otherwise it will give an
error.
15. The elements of a list can be accessed by using its index number starts with 0 (zero). There
are two different ways of using the index number:
Forward Indexing: The index number begins with 0 till length-1 and we refer the elements

from left to right.
Negative/Backward Indexing: The index number begins with -1 till -length and we refer

the elements from right to left.
