Entering into Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning

Machine Learning is the art of teaching computers to do certain tasks based on previous Data. 

We are living in digital world and we need machines which don't need to be programmed explicitly just to tell us that what it sees is an apple or orange. We are generating tremendous amount of data, why can't we use that data to teach machines to understand what apples look like or what will the end of Game of Thrones be.

Now just to get familiar a little about the ML, AI and Deep Learning which most of the people use interchangeably but believe me they are not the same. As you can see in below diagram that machine learning is just a part of AI and deep learning is a part of machine learning.

Artificial Stack

Machine Learning is a subset of AI which is making lot of progress lately. Machine Learning means that machines are learning with data. All ML can be classified as AI while all the AI can't be classified as ML.

Artificial Intelligence as its name signifies is intelligence, smartness. AI can generate data and perform some state of the art work without even being trained for it explicitly like self driving cars, Google's deep mind, Siri, Allo, generating music, writing poems etc.

Deep Learning is a subset of Machine Learning. Deep learning is loosely based on human brain where lot of neurons work together to process data. Using deep learning we can solve amazing problems. Like if we provide sufficient data about Game of Thrones Deep learning may find who will be killed next.

Learning Stack for Future

While seeing above diagram one might conclude that in order to learn this stack they need to start from outer circle or inner circle. But actually the sequence is different, in order to learn to need to first learn Machine learning then you should learn about Deep learning and they you are ready for AI. We will also follow the same order in our blogs also. We will first cover machine learning and then we will progress with deep learning.

So next time when someone say that they AI and ML are same then you can show them mirror.

Cheers and enjoy Machine Learning!!!
