Data science is a field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured data. Now a days we see the word AI in almost every Gadget we use be it Mobile phones, Laptops or Digital camera etc. So what exactly is AI, oh c’mon it is Artificial Intelligence!! Is it really that simple. Lets find out, in all of my blogs I am going to teach you what is Data Science, Machine learning, Deep Learning and Neural Networks. So stay with me….
Machine Learning
Machine learning is the scientific study of algorithms and statistical models that computer systems use to effectively perform a specific task without using explicit instructions, relying on patterns and inference instead. It is seen as a subset of artificial intelligence. For example if your boss asks you to write a code/program which differentiates between a apple and a banana, that does not sound difficult, but think how many lines of code would it take to write a program which makes efficient prediction and after all the hard work what if your boss gives a GREEN apple. Now you are screwed because you have programmed the machine that apples are red. Such tasks are very very easy with the help if machine learning.
OH! C’MON I AM NOT GOING TO BORE YOU ALL WITH DEFINITIONS, WE WILL START WRITING OUR FIRST MACHINE LEARNING MODEL FROM MY NEXT POST
Through out my posts I will be assuming that you have no prior knowledge of any programming languages and do not know anything about Machine Learning . You must have basic Math skills and logical thinking skills. Now lets get started.
