Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Fundamentals

By: Zsolt Nagy

Overview of this book

Machine learning and neural networks are pillars on which you can build intelligent applications. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Fundamentals begins by introducing you to Python and discussing AI search algorithms. You will cover in-depth mathematical topics, such as regression and classification, illustrated by Python examples. As you make your way through the book, you will progress to advanced AI techniques and concepts, and work on real-life datasets to form decision trees and clusters. You will be introduced to neural networks, a powerful tool based on Moore's law. By the end of this book, you will be confident when it comes to building your own AI applications with your newly acquired skills!

Summary


In this lesson, we learned how clustering works. Clustering is a form of unsupervised learning, where the features are given, and the clustering algorithm finds the labels.

There are two types of clustering: flat and hierarchical.

The k-means algorithm is a flat clustering algorithm, where we determine K center points for our K clusters, and the algorithm finds the data points.

Mean Shift is an example of a hierarchical clustering algorithm, where the number of distinct label values is to be determined by the algorithm.

The final lesson will introduce a field that has become popular this decade due to the explosion of computation power and cheap, scalable online server capacity. This field is the science of neural networks and deep learning.
