  • What is the difference between supervised and unsupervised learning in terms of data labeling?

    -In supervised learning, the data used for training the model is labeled, meaning each data point has an associated output or category. In unsupervised learning, the data is not labeled, and the model looks for patterns or structures within the data on its own.

  • What is semi-supervised learning in the context of deep learning?

    -Semi-supervised learning is a type of deep learning where a model is trained on a small amount of labeled data and a large amount of unlabeled data. The model learns the basic concepts from the labeled data and then applies those learnings to the unlabeled data to make predictions.

  • What are the two types of deep learning models?

    -The two types of deep learning models are discriminative and generative models. Discriminative models learn the relationship between the labels of data points and classify them. Generative models learn patterns in the training data and generate new data based on those patterns.

  • How can you tell if an AI model is generative?

    -An AI model is generative if its output is not just a classification or probability. Instead, it generates new samples, such as natural language text, speech, images, or audio, that are similar to the data it was trained on.

  • What are some common types of generative AI models?

    -Common types of generative AI models include text-to-text models like ChatGPT, text-to-image models like Midjourney and DALL·E, text-to-video models, text-to-3D models, and text-to-task models that perform specific tasks based on input.

  • What is the difference between a large language model (LLM) and generative AI?

    -While both LLMs and generative AI models are part of deep learning, they are not the same. LLMs are pre-trained with a large set of data and then fine-tuned for specific purposes, whereas generative AI models generate new data based on patterns learned from their training data.

  • How are large language models (LLMs) used in real-world applications?

    -LLMs are first pre-trained to solve common language problems and then fine-tuned with industry-specific data sets to solve specific problems in various fields like retail, finance, healthcare, and entertainment. For example, a hospital might fine-tune a pre-trained LLM with its own medical data to improve diagnostic accuracy.

  • What is the advantage of large language models (LLMs) for smaller institutions?

    -The advantage of LLMs for smaller institutions is that they can purchase or license these general-purpose models developed by large companies, which have the resources to create them, and then fine-tune them with their domain-specific data to solve their unique problems without having to develop their own models from scratch.

  • How can you navigate back to a specific part of a video when taking notes?

In the context of the video, AI is the overarching theme, with machine learning and deep learning being subfields of AI. The video aims to demystify AI and its various components, making it accessible to beginners without a technical background.

💡Machine Learning

Machine Learning is a subfield of AI that focuses on the development of algorithms and statistical models that allow computers to learn from and make predictions or decisions based on data. The video explains that machine learning models use input data to train, and a trained model can then make predictions on new, unseen data. The two main types of machine learning models discussed are supervised and unsupervised learning models.

💡Supervised Learning

Supervised Learning is a type of machine learning where the model is trained on labeled data, meaning the input data has been associated with an output label. The model learns to predict the output based on the historical data points, allowing it to make predictions when given new data. Supervised learning is used for tasks such as classification and regression, where the goal is to predict specific outcomes based on input features.

💡Unsupervised Learning

Unsupervised Learning is a type of machine learning where the model works with unlabeled data, meaning the input data does not have associated output labels. The goal of unsupervised learning is to find patterns or groupings within the data. It is used for tasks like clustering, where the model identifies natural groups within the data without prior knowledge of what the groups represent.

💡Deep Learning

Deep Learning is a subset of machine learning that uses artificial neural networks with multiple layers to model complex patterns in data. Inspired by the human brain, deep learning algorithms consist of layers of nodes and neurons that enable the model to learn from large amounts of data and improve its accuracy in recognizing patterns and making predictions.
