Artificial Intelligence 501

Lesson 1
An introduction to AI and its History

- Image classification by ai was achieved in 2015 and they were able to perform
better than humans.
- Machine translation was achieved in 2016 and able to perform near human
performance.

Definitions :
Artificial Intelligence - a program that can sense, reason , act, and adapt.
Machine learning - Algorithms whose performance improve as they are exposed to
more data over time.
Deep learning - Subset of machine learning in which multilayered neural networks
learn from vast amounts of data.
Machine Learning - Algorithms whose performance improve as they are exposed to
more data over time.

Artificial Intelligence

“A branch of computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behavior in


computers.” (Merriam-Webster)

“Colloquially, the term 'artificial intelligence’ is applied when a machine mimics


‘cognitive’ functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as ‘learning’
and ‘problem solving’.” (Wikipedia)

Machine learning

“The study and construction of programs that are not explicitly programmed, but learn
patterns as they are exposed to more data over time.” (Intel)

Two Main types of machine Learning


Dataset Goal Example

Supervised Has a target column Make predictions Fraud detection


Learning

Unsupervised Does not have a Find structure in Customer


Learning target column the data segmentation

Machine Learning Example

- Suppose you wanted to identify fraudulent credit card transactions.


- You could define features to be :
> Transaction time
> Transaction amount
> Transaction location
> Transaction of purchase
- The algorithm could learn what feature combinations suggest unusual activity.

Deep Learning

Machine learning involves using very complicated models called “deep neural
networks”.
Models determine best representation of original data; in classic machine learning,
humans must do this.

History of AI

1950s: Early AI
• 1950: Alan Turing developed the Turing test to test a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent
jjjjjjjjjbehavior.
• 1956: Artificial Intelligence was accepted as a field at the Dartmouth Conference.
• 1957: Frank Rosenblatt invented the perceptron algorithm. This was the precursor to modern
neural networks.
• 1959: Arthur Samuel published an algorithm for a checkers program using machine learning

The First “AI Winter”


• 1966: ALPAC committee evaluated AI techniques for machine translation and determined
there was little yield from the investment.
• 1969: Marvin Minsky published a book on the limitations of the Perceptron algorithm which
slowed research in neural networks.
• 1973: The Lighthill report highlights AI’s failure to live up to promises.
• The two reports led to cuts in government funding for AI research leading to the first “AI
Winter.”

1980’s AI Boom
• Expert Systems - systems with programmed rules designed to mimic human experts.
• Ran on mainframe computers with specialized programming languages (e.g. LISP).
• Were the first widely-used AI technology, with two-thirds of "Fortune 500" companies using
them at their peak.
• 1986: The “Backpropagation” algorithm is able to train multilayer perceptrons leading to new
successes and interest in neural network research. Early expert systems machine 21

Another AI Winter (late 1980’s – early 1990s)


• Expert systems’ progress on solving business problems slowed.
• Expert systems began to be melded into software suites of general business applications (e.g.
SAP, Oracle) that could run on PCs instead of mainframes.
• Neural networks didn’t scale to large problems.
• Interest in AI in business declined.

Late 1990’s to early 2000’s: Classical Machine Learning


• Advancements in the SVM algorithm led to it becoming the machine learning method of
choice.
• AI solutions had successes in speech recognition, medical diagnosis, robotics, and many
other areas.
• AI algorithms were integrated into larger systems and became useful throughout industry.
• The Deep Blue chess system beat world chess champion Garry Kasparov.
• Google search engine launched using artificial intelligence technology.

2006: Rise of Deep Learning


• 2006: Geoffrey Hinton publishes a paper on unsupervised pre-training that allowed deeper
neural networks to be trained.
• Neural networks are rebranded to deep learning.
• 2009: The ImageNet database of human-tagged images is presented at the CVPR
conference.
• 2010: Algorithms compete on several visual recognition tasks at the first ImageNet
competition.
