AI for Everyone

You might have heard of a lot about AI, Machine learning, Data science, Deep learning, etc,... But, what exactly these terms mean and how is the connection between those. Here is my understanding: There are two ideas of AI: - ANI (Artificial Narrow Intelligence): E.g., smart speaker, self-driving car and web search. - AGN (Artificial General Intelligence): do anything a human can do. ANI is realistic and incredibly valuable. Though AGN is still too far away, and there is no need to unduly worry about it. When talking about data in term of AI that means talking about dataset . There are several methods to get a dataset: - Manual labeling - Observing user behaviors - Observing behaviors of other things such as machine - Downloading dataset from a website or acquiring it from a partner. Machine learning  (ML) is a tool in AI.  Supervised learning is a type of ML that learns A to B, or input to output mappings.  Deep learning/Neural networks is a type of sup

Math fundamentals and Katex

It was really tough for me to understand many articles about data science due to the requirements of understanding mathematics (especially linear algebra). I’ve started to gain some basic knowledges about Math by reading a book first. The great tool Typora and stackedit with supporting Katex syntax simply helps me to display Math-related symbols. Let’s start! The fundamental ideas of mathematics: “doing math” with numbers and functions. Linear algebra: “doing math” with vectors and linear transformations. 1. Solving equations Solving equations means finding the value of the unknown in the equation. To find the solution, we must break the problem down into simpler steps. E.g: x 2 − 4 = 4 5 x 2 − 4 + 4 = 4 5 + 4 x 2 = 4 9 x = 4 9 ∣ x ∣ = 7 x = 7  or  x = − 7 \begin{aligned} x^2 - 4 &= 45\\ x^2 - 4 + 4 &= 45 + 4\\ x^2 &= 49\\ \sqrt{x}&=\sqrt{49}\\ |x| &= 7\\ x=7 &\text{ or } x=-7 \end{aligned} x 2 − 4 x 2 − 4 + 4 x 2 x ​ ∣ x ∣ x = 7 ​ = 4 5 = 4 5 + 4 = 4
