Overview of AI
Section 1

Machine learning
Enable computers to act without
explicit programming
by
designing new learning algorithms
and improving existing ones
These algorithms allow computers to analyze large volumes
of complex data to recognize patterns and make predictions
and adjustments.

Supervised Learning Unsupervised Learning Reinforcement Learning
Description
The learning algorithm is fed
with a series of inputs as well as
with the corresponding outputs.
The algorithm then applies this
same set of rules in the future.
The system learns by itself by exploring the
data on its own to find some sort of structure
or patterns.
In other words, the AI system uses its
experience of solving one problem to solve
another related problem.
The algorithm learns through a trial-and-
error process in which the actions are
either virtually ‘rewarded’ or ‘punished’.
It then forms a memory of each
experience and uses this learning for
subsequent experiences.
Use cases
▪ Predicting real estate prices,
▪ Bank fraud
▪ Health risks
▪ Loan risks
▪ industrial maintenance
▪ Identify consumers with similar purchasing
behaviors to deliver personalized
marketing,
▪ Group inventory according to sales
▪ determine associations in customer data.
▪ Autonomous driving
▪ Training robots
▪ Teaching cars to park themselves
Common
algorithms
Neural networks, decision trees, linear
regression, and support vector machines
Hidden Markov models, k-means,
,hierarchical clustering, and Gaussian mixture models.
Markov decision process, Dynamic programming

Section 4

AI Stack: Conceptual Understanding of Layers
05
The applications layer
encompasses the specific use
cases and applications that
leverage AI technologies.
This layer includes chatbots,
recommendation systems,
autonomous vehicles, and
other AI-powered systems.
04
The platforms layer provides
the tools and frameworks
necessary for developing,
deploying, and managing AI
applications.
This layer includes
programming languages,
libraries, and frameworks such
as TensorFlow, PyTorch, and
scikit-learn.
03
The infrastructure layer
comprises the hardware and
software components that
support the AI system's
operation.
This layer includes CPUs, GPUs,
and other specialized
hardware, as well as operating
systems, virtualization, and
containerization tools.
02
The algorithms layer involves
the development of
mathematical models and
algorithms that allow an AI
system to extract patterns and
insights from the data.
This layer includes machine
learning, deep learning, and
other statistical models.
01
This is the foundation of the AI
stack, as AI systems require
large amounts of data to learn
from and make decisions.
This layer includes data
collection, cleaning,
preprocessing, and storage.
