Learn about AI through intuitive language and engaging illustrations like the sample ones below

Accuracy

Think about playing a game of darts. Your goal is to hit the bullseye, and every time you hit it or get close, you score points. In this game, your accuracy is determined by how many of your throws hit the target area. Similarly, in AI and machine learning, “Accuracy” measures how often the model’s predictions are correct.

Deep Learning

To grasp the concept of Deep Learning, let’s compare it to learning a complex skill, like playing a musical instrument. When you first start learning, you begin with the basics, gradually layering on more and more complex skills. Over time, you understand not just the notes, but the nuances and styles of music. Deep Learning in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) works similarly, where machines learn from basic to increasingly complex patterns.

Feature Engineering

Let’s think of Feature Engineering in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) as a chef preparing ingredients for a recipe. Just as a chef carefully selects, cuts, and seasons ingredients to create a delicious dish, Feature Engineering is about selecting, preparing, and transforming data to make it more suitable for machine learning models.
