Core AI concepts provide the fundamental building blocks for developing intelligent systems, which are essential for any AI practitioner.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) involves creating algorithms that allow computers to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. Key areas include natural language processing, image recognition, and decision-making systems.
Supervised learning is a type of machine learning where models are trained using labeled data. The goal is to learn a mapping from inputs to outputs based on example input-output pairs.
Common algorithms include:
Example of supervised learning with linear regression:
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
# Sample data
X = [[1], [2], [3], [4]]
y = [1, 2, 3, 4]
# Create and train the model
model = LinearRegression()
model.fit(X, y)
# Predicting a value
prediction = model.predict([[5]])
print(prediction) # Outputs: [5.]
Unsupervised learning involves training models on data without labeled responses. The goal is to discover underlying patterns or groupings in the data.
Common algorithms include:
Example of K-Means clustering:
from sklearn.cluster import KMeans
import numpy as np
# Sample data
X = np.array([[1, 2], [1, 4], [1, 0], [4, 2], [4, 4], [4, 0]])
# Create and fit the model
kmeans = KMeans(n_clusters=2)
kmeans.fit(X)
# Predicting cluster for new data
prediction = kmeans.predict([[0, 0]])
print(prediction) # Outputs: [1] (indicating which cluster it belongs to)
Reinforcement learning is a type of machine learning where an agent learns to make decisions by taking actions in an environment to maximize cumulative reward.
Key concepts include:
Example of reinforcement learning with Q-learning:
import numpy as np
# Q-learning parameters
Q = np.zeros((state_space_size, action_space_size))
learning_rate = 0.1
discount_factor = 0.9
# Example update rule
# Assume state and action are given
Q[state, action] += learning_rate * (reward + discount_factor * np.max(Q[next_state]) - Q[state, action])
Evaluation metrics are critical for assessing the performance of AI models. Common metrics include:
Example of calculating accuracy:
from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score
# Example predictions
y_true = [0, 1, 1, 0]
y_pred = [0, 1, 0, 0]
accuracy = accuracy_score(y_true, y_pred)
print("Accuracy:", accuracy) # Outputs: Accuracy: 0.75
Overfitting occurs when a model learns the training data too well, including noise and outliers, resulting in poor generalization to new data. Underfitting occurs when a model is too simple to capture the underlying trend of the data.
Strategies to combat these issues include:
Example of overfitting and underfitting in decision trees:
from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
# Sample data
X, y = load_data() # Replace with actual data loading
# Split data
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2)
# Decision Tree model
model = DecisionTreeClassifier(max_depth=5) # Adjust max_depth to prevent overfitting
model.fit(X_train, y_train)

Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a machine learning paradigm where an agent learns to make decisions by interacting with an environment. The agent receives rewards or penalties based on its actions, allowing it to learn optimal behaviors over time. This section covers key concepts and algorithms commonly used in Reinforcement Learning.
The Bellman Equation is a fundamental concept in Reinforcement Learning that describes the relationship between the value of a state and the values of its successor states. It serves as the foundation for many RL algorithms.
V(s) = max_a ( R(s, a) + γ * Σ P(s'|s, a) * V(s') )
Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) provide a mathematical framework for modeling decision-making situations in reinforcement learning. MDPs consist of states, actions, rewards, and state transition probabilities.
Policy and Value Iteration are iterative algorithms used to find optimal policies in MDPs. These algorithms update value functions and policies until convergence.
// Pseudocode for Value Iteration
Initialize V(s) arbitrarily
Repeat until convergence:
For each state s:
V(s) = max_a ( R(s, a) + γ * Σ P(s'|s, a) * V(s') )
Q-Learning is a model-free reinforcement learning algorithm that learns the value of actions in states. It uses the Q-value to update action preferences based on received rewards.
Q(s, a) ← Q(s, a) + α [ R(s, a) + γ max_a' Q(s', a') - Q(s, a) ]
Sarsa (State-Action-Reward-State-Action) is an on-policy reinforcement learning algorithm that updates Q-values based on the action taken by the current policy.
Q(s, a) ← Q(s, a) + α [ R(s, a) + γ Q(s', a') - Q(s, a) ]
Deep Q Networks (DQNs) leverage deep learning techniques to approximate Q-values, enabling reinforcement learning to be applied to complex environments with high-dimensional state spaces.
// Pseudocode for DQN training
Initialize replay buffer and neural network
For each episode:
Initialize state
While state is not terminal:
Select action using ε-greedy policy
Execute action, observe reward and next state
Store experience in replay buffer
