Advanced Concepts of Modelling in AI – Summary Notes
1. AI, ML, and Deep Learning
Artificial Intelligence (AI): Machines performing tasks requiring human intelligence.
Machine Learning (ML): Subset of AI; learns patterns from data.
Deep Learning (DL): Subset of ML using neural networks with many layers; works well on large
datasets.
2. Data Terminology
Data: Raw information.
Features: Attributes describing data.
Labels: Value to be predicted.
Training Set: Data used to teach the model.
Testing Set: Data used to evaluate the model.
3. AI Modelling Approaches
A. Rule-Based Approach
• Uses fixed rules set by humans.
• Does not learn or adapt.
• Example: Simple chatbots.
B. Learning-Based Approach
• Learns patterns from data.
• Improves accuracy with more experience.
4. Machine Learning Types
A. Supervised Learning (Labeled data)
1. Classification – predicts categories.
Examples: Spam/Not spam, Dog/Cat.
2. Regression – predicts numeric values.
Examples: Price, temperature.
B. Unsupervised Learning (Unlabeled data)
1. Clustering – groups similar items.
2. Association – finds relationships (e.g., “Bread → Butter”).
C. Reinforcement Learning
• Learns by trial and error.
• Receives rewards and penalties.
5. Neural Networks (ANN)
What are Neural Networks?
• Computer models inspired by the human brain.
• Used for recognition, predictions, and decision-making.
Structure:
• Input Layer – receives data
• Hidden Layers – extract patterns
• Output Layer – final prediction
How ANN Works:
• Inputs × Weights → add Bias → Activation function → Output
• Learns using forward propagation and backpropagation.
Key Terms:
• Weights – importance of inputs
• Bias – adjustment term
• Activation Function – helps model learn complex patterns
Applications:
• Face recognition
• Voice assistants
• Medical imaging
• Chatbots
• Fraud detection
6. Deep Learning Specific Model: CNN
• Used mainly for image processing.
• Layers: Convolution, ReLU, Pooling, Fully Connected.
• Applications: Face ID, object detection, medical scans.
