Class 2 – Understanding AI

How AI Works?

Traditional Programming is a set of instructions that we give to a computer to do a

task.

Machine Learning is a subset of AI and it is the study of computer algorithms that

allow computer programs to automatically improve through experience. It is
essentially responsible to do 3 specific tasks:

Classifying data into existing categories

Perform regression and predict future data
Cluster observed data into subsets

Deep Learning is a study of advanced algorithms inspired by the working of neurons.

It based on artificial neural networks in which multiple layers of nodes are used to
extract progressively higher-level features from data. It is used to perform highly
complex tasks such as image classification, face detection, etc.

Workflow in AI Projects:

1
Project: Functions

Function: A function is a block of code which only runs once when called. Data can
be passed into a function as parameters and every function can return data as
result.
Benefits of function:
✓ Shorter Programs
✓ Robust Programs

Parameter: It is a variable name used inside the function to access input passed
to the function.
Argument: It is the input taken from the user and passed to the function.
