“Arti fj cial intelligence is whatever computers cannot do until they can.”
Arti fj cial intelligence is uncoupled from consciousness
Arti fj cially intelligent systems are idiot savants, not Renaissance Men
“Machine learning is the study of computer systems that automatically improve with experience.”
AI? Machine Learning Data Science Analytics “Big Data”
Supervised and Unsupervised Learning
Unsupervised Learning
Supervised Learning Find a proxy (P) for something hard to know (C) Find a function that de fj nes a correlation between P and C Use this function to make guesses about C
Use square footage (P) to predict housing prices (C)
Use “Nigerian Prince” (P) to predict if emails are spam (C)
Use past behavior (P) to predict future preferences (C)
What P should we pick to decide if it’s a cat or dog?
Deep Learning • Use layers to transform complex input into mathematical expressions • Remove need for human to select which features matter
Universal Approximation Theorem Neural networks can approximate arbitrary functions

X1 W1 X2 W2 X3 W3 X4 W4 Y1 X5 W5 “x” = Y2 X6 W6 Y3 X7 W7 … X8 W8 X9 W9 X10 W10 …. ….
X “x” W = Y one equation three variables
Known Known Unknown X “x” W = Y
Known Unknown Known X “x” W = Y
2 x 3 = Y
2 x w = 6
w = 6 / 2
w = 6 / 2
0 = 2 x w - 6
Error = |2 x w - 6|

Supervised Learning: Recap Identify a correlation between something easy to know and hard to know. (X and Y) Find a function that describes how these two things are correlated. (Solve for W through iteration) Use this function to make guesses about the thing that’s hard to know. (Use W to solve for new Ys)
Natural Language Processing
The real impact lies in making complex data simple. There’s been a rise in sales!
