Transfer learning

Transfer learning in AI refers to a technique where a model trained on one task or dataset is reused or adapted for a different but related task or dataset. Instead of training a new model from scratch, transfer learning leverages the knowledge learned from one task to improve performance on another task. The main idea behind transfer learning is that models trained on large, general datasets can capture generic features and patterns that are transferable to new, specific tasks. By fine-tuning or adapting these pre-trained models on a smaller, task-specific dataset, transfer learning can often achieve better performance than training a new model from scratch, especially when the new dataset is limited or when computational resources are constrained. Transfer learning can be applied in various ways, including: 1. Feature Extraction  Using the pre-trained model as a fixed feature extractor, where the learned features from the earlier layers of the model are used as input to a new cla...

Introduction to AI

What is artificial intelligence? Artificial intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science and technology that focuses on creating machines, systems, or software programs capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks include reasoning, problem solving, learning, perception, understanding natural language, and making decisions. AI systems are designed to simulate or replicate human cognitive functions and adapt to new information and situations. A brief history of artificial intelligence Artificial intelligence has been around for decades. In the 1950s, a computer scientist built Theseus, a remote-controlled mouse that could navigate a maze and remember the path it took.1 AI capabilities grew slowly at first. But advances in computer speed and cloud computing and the availability of large data sets led to rapid advances in the field of artificial intelligence. Now, anyone can access programs like ChatGPT, which is capable of having text-based conve...

Policy gradients in AI

Policy gradients are a class of reinforcement learning algorithms used to learn the optimal policy for an agent in a given environment. Unlike value-based methods that estimate the value of different actions or states, policy gradient methods directly learn the policy function that maps states to actions. The key idea behind policy gradients is to adjust the parameters of the policy in the direction that increases the expected return (or reward) from the environment. This is typically done using gradient ascent, where the gradient of the policy's expected return with respect to its parameters is computed and used to update the policy parameters. Policy gradient methods have several advantages, including the ability to learn stochastic policies (policies that select actions probabilistically) and the ability to learn policies directly in high-dimensional or continuous action spaces. However, they can also be more sample inefficient compared to value-based methods, as they typically ...
