Artificial Intelligence vs. Machine Learning vs. Deep Learning

The world as we know it is moving towards machines — big time. But we cannot fully utilize the working of any machine without a lot of human interaction. In order to do that, we need some kind of intelligence for the machines. This is where artificial intelligence comes in. It is the concept of machines being smart enough to carry out numerous tasks without any human intervention.
The terms artificial intelligence and machine learning often lead to confusion and many of us don't exactly know the difference between them. Hence, we end up using these terms interchangeably. Machine learning is basically the learning concepts of machines through which we can achieve artificial intelligence. Deep learning is the latest thing in the artificial intelligence field. It is one of the ways to implement machine learning to achieve AI.
Most of us have seen AI-based movies with machines having their own intelligence like the Terminator series or I, Robot. But in real life, the concept of AI isn't optimized enough to handle these real-life situations and act accordingly. Mostly, AI implementations are only situation-based codings. Machine learning was introduced to handle large amounts data and to make machines learn using inputs/examples to process further problems.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence, as the name suggests, involves creating intelligence artificially. It's the word that we've been repeating for more than half a century. It was introduced in the 60s and caught everyone's eye very quickly. The goal of AI is to reduce human interaction for a machine to do its work properly.
AI has been implemented in several ways. It doesn't always have to be smart implementation. Many implementations are just hardcoded functionalities used to run according to a given choice or situation. But in real-time scenarios, we have a lot of variables, and according to them, some action must be chosen to be executed. In those scenarios, hardcoding does not give us good results. This is when machine learning comes into the picture.

Machine Learning

Machine learning is an approach to implementing artificial intelligence. It is basically the study of the algorithms that make use of vast datasets to be parsed and ingested as examples, and based on these examples, further problems are solved.
Machine learning means making the machine learn to solve problems by providing enough examples/inputs, just like a human learns something, with examples on how to use this intelligence to solve further problems.
There are several algorithms that are used for machine learning. For example:
  • Find-S
  • Decision trees
  • Random forests
  • Artificial neural networks

Deep Learning

Deep learning is the newest term in the era of machine learning. Deep learning is a way to implement machine learning. It basically uses the artificial neural networks algorithm. Neural networks are inspired by our understanding of the biology of our brains and all the interconnections between neurons. But unlike a biological brain where any neuron can connect to any other neuron within a certain physical distance, these artificial neural networks have discrete layers, connections, and directions of data propagation. We'll learn more about deep learning in further blogs.

Conclusion

Artificial intelligence is a broad concept that is implemented through machine learning (which involves many efficient algorithms for real data). Deep learning involves neural network-based algorithms based on machine learning.
Deep learning has given a new level of possibilities to the AI world. Currently, deep learning is being used in the research community and in the industry to help solve many big data problems such as computer vision, speech recognition, and natural language processing.
Still, what we have today is the concept of narrow AI. Narrow AI (or weak AI) symbolizes that the AI we are working on is related to specific tasks. For example, vehicle automation (such as the Google self-driving car) or image classification/face recognition (such as Facebook's deep learning algorithms) are some specific tasks that have been made possible with deep learning.
The aim of AI from the start was to create a general AI (strong AI) to achieve the functionality of human brain that was not related to a specific task but to perform all general tasks and to respond to situations well, i.e. mimicking a human brain processing. So, we still have a long way to go.

Basics Of Hadoop Ecosystem - 2

Basics of Hadoop Ecosystem – 2 Apache Ambari is a web-based tool for provisioning, managing, and monitoring Apache Hadoop clusters. It has a very simple yet highly interactive UI to install various tools and perform various management, configuration and monitoring tasks.  Introduction: In part 2 of the blog series I will cover the other core components of a Hadoop Framework including querying part, external integration, data exchange, co-ordination and managing as well as monitoring of Hadoop Clusters. Please refer to Basic’s of Hadoop Ecosystem  Part 1 ... QUERYING: Pig seems quite useful however; I am more of an SQL person. For those of us who still like SQL, we have SQL for Hadoop. HIVE Hive is a distributed data warehouse built on atop of HDFS to manage and organize large amounts of data. It provides a query based on SQL semantics  (HiveQL)  which is translated by the runtime engine to Map Reduce jobs for querying the data. Sche...

Machine Learning & Deep Learning

Machine Learning & Deep Learning Understanding the latest advancements in artificial intelligence can seem overwhelming, but it really boils down to two concepts you’ve likely heard of before:  machine learning  and  deep learning . These terms are often thrown around in ways that can make them seem like interchangeable buzzwords, hence why it’s important to understand the differences. And those differences should be known! Examples of machine learning and deep learning are everywhere. It’s how Netflix knows which show you’ll want to watch next or how Facebook knows whose face is in a photo. And it’s how a customer service representative will know if you’ll be satisfied with their support before you even take a customer satisfaction (CSAT) survey. So what are these concepts that dominate the conversations about artificial intelligence and how exactly are they different? What is machine learning? Here’s a basic definition of machine learn...

Creating REST API With Spring Boot

Let's Create a REST API With Spring Boot In this post, we will learn how to create REST API with Spring Boot, JPA, Hibernate, and MySQL. Create the Spring Boot Project. Define Database configurations. Create an Entity Class. Create JPA Data Repository layer. Create Rest Controllers and map API requests. Create Unit Testing for API requests and run the unit testing. Build and run the Project. Requirement We need to create a simple REST API to store user data to MySQL database with that API so we can create, update, delete, and get users information. Create the Spring Boot Project First, go to  Spring Initializr  and create a project with below settings Web  — Full-stack web development with Tomcat and Spring MVC DevTools  — Spring Boot Development Tools JPA  — Java Persistence API including spring-data-JPA, spring-orm, and Hibernate MySQL  — MySQL JDBC driver Actuator  — Production-ready features to help you monitor...
