It is different to traditional computer software in that a human developer hasn&#8217;t written code that instructs the system what to do. The machine learns by itself! ML consists designing and applying algorithms that are able to learn from previous situations.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->ML is used for credit card fraud detection, self-driving cars and face detection and recognition. It uses complex algorithms that constantly go back and forth over large data sets, analysing patterns in the data and then instructing other \u00a0machines to respond to situations for which they have not been explicitly programmed. The machines learn from the history to produce reliable results.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Machine learning models are able to give accurate predictions in order to create real value for an organisation. In machine learning, prediction refers to the output of an algorithm after it has been trained on a historical dataset and it is applied to new data when forecasting the likelihood of a particular outcome, such as whether or not a customer will stop using a product or service. It helps to find the best model that represents our data and how well this model will work in the future.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Data scientists use machine learning to solve critical business problems. They extract valuable and actionable insights from big data. You have seen machine learning at work without being aware of it. Machine learning is used in internet search engines, email filters to sort out spam, websites to make personalised recommendations, banking software to detect unusual transactions, and lots of apps on our phones such as voice recognition.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->No matter what industry you are now working in, machine learning is rapidly changing the way things get done.

Supervised learning algorithms analyse the data and produce an inferred function. This function is then applied to new situations.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Supervised machine learning is -for example &#8211; where a computer is given a large number of photographs. Along with the photographs is information about what is on them. The computer analyses, sorts, and interprets what is on the photographs. This is called training. You then give the computer new photographs without the accompanying information and let it analyse, sort and interpret them, using the learning from the previous set.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Supervised learning can be used in sorting oranges to identify fruit that does not conform to a particular visual standard. It is also useful for decision support: a computer can be trained with large amounts of information about actual and historic share market transactions. It can then be used to assess how effective a intended transaction will be. Credit card fraud detection is another example of supervised learning algorithms in practice.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><em><strong>Unsupervised Learning<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><a class=\"rank-math-link rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/dataconomy.com\/whats-the-difference-between-supervised-and-unsupervised-learning\/\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Unsupervised learning<\/span><\/a> algorithms are more complex because the data is unsorted. The machine learns on its own without any supervision. The solution to any problem is not provided. The algorithm has to find the patterns in the data. An example of supervised learning is recommendation engines which give you a selection of options on e-commerce sites. \u00a0Facebook\u2019s friend suggestion mechanism is another example.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->To put it simply, in unsupervised machine learning, you give a computer a number of photographs of each of 5 different people. The computer must interpret the visual imagery to separate them into 5 different piles, one pile for each person. Unsupervised learning is useful for clustering, and there are many applications for customer segmentation in marketing.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->One industry commentator has estimated that there were fewer than 10,000 people around the world who have the necessary skills to create fully-functional machine learning systems. Machine learning engineers capable of developing these systems must be skilled in computer science, programming, mathematics, statistics, data science, deep learning, and problem solving.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Reinforcement learning is the training of machine learning models to make a sequence of decisions. The computer employs trial and error to come up with a solution to the problem. To get the machine to do what the programmer wants, the artificial intelligence gets either rewards or penalties for the actions it performs. Its goal is to maximise the total reward.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Machine learning is an increasingly integral component of solving business problems.

They interpret sensory data through a kind of machine perception. The patterns they recognise are numerical, contained in vectors, into which all real-world data, be it images, sound, text or time series, must be translated.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Neural networks help us cluster and classify data. You can think of them as a clustering and classification layer on top of the data you store and manage. They help to group unlabelled data according to similarities among the example inputs, and they classify data when they have a labelled dataset to train on. The neural network decides what the similarities and the differences are.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Each step in a neural network involves a number of guesses. A weight is a factor that either increases or decreases the significance of data inputs in machine learning, and thus speeds up the learning. But if the weight is not accurate or is set at too high or too low a setting, it will have dramatic influences on the final outcome.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->In this context, bias to refer to computer systems that systematically and unfairly discriminate against certain individuals or groups of individuals in favour of others. Depending on how the algorithms and weights\u00a0 are set up, the system may have a bias for or against a certain outcome. This is relevant when tracking fraud or systems for awarding loans; people may be penalised or rewarded unfairly. There is a strong ethical component to the role of weights in neural networks, because they operate without human intervention.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><em><strong>Visualisation<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->A convolutional neural network recognises and classifies images. The algorithm guides the computer in this process. Images and pictures are particularly difficult for a computer. You and I will look at a picture and see a tree, a cow and a house. The computer sees a flat array of pixels. The computer has no sense of depth or perspective. In order for convolutional neural networks to interpret the flat pixel image, the computer compares the image with a very large set of image libraries. It goes back and forth between the libraries and the image. Hence the term convolutional. The algorithms initially look for and compare looking simple features such as edges and curves, and then build up to \u2018see\u2019 more abstract and complex concepts. When completed, the computer \u2018sees\u2019 the house or the cow as you and I would identify it.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->This is called visualisation. It brings a visual dimension (2 or 3D) to an object that is described in non-visual data. Visualisation allows an object to been \u201cseen\u201d without physically being there, with the help of these algorithms and convolutional neural networks.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><em><strong>Deep Learning<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Deep learning is related to this. It\u2019s a type of machine learning where artificial neural networks learn from large amounts of data. They do this by themselves once the algorithms and neural networks are set up. In other words, the \u2018machine\u2019 can go ahead (provided it has enough data or images) and solve complex problems by itself. That is super cool!<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->At its simplest, deep learning can be thought of as a way to automate predictive analytics. While traditional machine learning algorithms are linear, deep learning algorithms are stacked in a hierarchy of increasing complexity and abstraction.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><em><strong>Applications in practice<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->A chatbot is an artificial intelligence (AI) software that can simulate a conversation with a human being in natural language through messaging applications, websites, mobile apps or through the telephone. A chatbot is often described as one of the most advanced and promising expressions of interaction between humans and machines.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Machine learning is being transforming advertising. Programmatic advertising is the automated process of buying and selling advertisements through an exchange, connecting advertisers to publishers. Programmatic advertising uses machine learning technology to improve efficiency and make better budget decisions for advertisers.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Real-time bidding is one of those techniques. It refers to the buying and selling of online ad impressions through real-time auctions that occur in the time it takes a webpage to load. As the ad impression loads in the user\u2019s browser, information about the page and the user is passed to an ad exchange, which auctions it off to the advertiser willing to pay the highest price for it. The winning bidder\u2019s ad is then loaded into the webpage nearly instantly; the whole process takes just milliseconds to complete.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Another technique is a recommendation engine. It is a system that suggests products, services, information to users based on analysis of their data.

Along with the photographs is information about what is on them. The computer analyses, sorts, and interprets what is on the photographs. This is called training.

They interpret sensory data through a kind of machine perception. The patterns they recognise are numerical, contained in vectors, into which all real-world data, be it images, sound, text or time series, must be translated.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Neural networks help us cluster and classify data. You can think of them as a clustering and classification layer on top of the data you store and manage. They help to group unlabelled data according to similarities among the example inputs, and they classify data when they have a labelled dataset to train on. The neural network decides what the similarities and the differences are.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Each step in a neural network involves a number of guesses. A weight is a factor that either increases or decreases the significance of data inputs in machine learning, and thus speeds up the learning. But if the weight is not accurate or is set at too high or too low a setting, it will have dramatic influences on the final outcome.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->In this context, bias to refer to computer systems that systematically and unfairly discriminate against certain individuals or groups of individuals in favour of others. Depending on how the algorithms and weights\u00a0 are set up, the system may have a bias for or against a certain outcome. This is relevant when tracking fraud or systems for awarding loans; people may be penalised or rewarded unfairly. There is a strong ethical component to the role of weights in neural networks, because they operate without human intervention.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><em><strong>Visualisation<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->A convolutional neural network recognises and classifies images. The algorithm guides the computer in this process. Images and pictures are particularly difficult for a computer. You and I will look at a picture and see a tree, a cow and a house. The computer sees a flat array of pixels. The computer has no sense of depth or perspective. In order for convolutional neural networks to interpret the flat pixel image, the computer compares the image with a very large set of image libraries. It goes back and forth between the libraries and the image. Hence the term convolutional. The algorithms initially look for and compare looking simple features such as edges and curves, and then build up to \u2018see\u2019 more abstract and complex concepts. When completed, the computer \u2018sees\u2019 the house or the cow as you and I would identify it.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->This is called visualisation. It brings a visual dimension (2 or 3D) to an object that is described in non-visual data. Visualisation allows an object to been \u201cseen\u201d without physically being there, with the help of these algorithms and convolutional neural networks.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><em><strong>Deep Learning<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Deep learning is related to this. It\u2019s a type of machine learning where artificial neural networks learn from large amounts of data. They do this by themselves once the algorithms and neural networks are set up. In other words, the \u2018machine\u2019 can go ahead (provided it has enough data or images) and solve complex problems by itself. That is super cool!<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->At its simplest, deep learning can be thought of as a way to automate predictive analytics.

Programmatic advertising uses machine learning technology to improve efficiency and make better budget decisions for advertisers.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Real-time bidding is one of those techniques. It refers to the buying and selling of online ad impressions through real-time auctions that occur in the time it takes a webpage to load. As the ad impression loads in the user\u2019s browser, information about the page and the user is passed to an ad exchange, which auctions it off to the advertiser willing to pay the highest price for it. The winning bidder\u2019s ad is then loaded into the webpage nearly instantly; the whole process takes just milliseconds to complete.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Another technique is a recommendation engine.

Along with the photographs is information about what is on them. The computer analyses, sorts, and interprets what is on the photographs. This is called training. You then give the computer new photographs without the accompanying information and let it analyse, sort and interpret them, using the learning from the previous set.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Supervised learning can be used in sorting oranges to identify fruit that does not conform to a particular visual standard.

They interpret sensory data through a kind of machine perception. The patterns they recognise are numerical, contained in vectors, into which all real-world data, be it images, sound, text or time series, must be translated.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Neural networks help us cluster and classify data. You can think of them as a clustering and classification layer on top of the data you store and manage. They help to group unlabelled data according to similarities among the example inputs, and they classify data when they have a labelled dataset to train on. The neural network decides what the similarities and the differences are.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Each step in a neural network involves a number of guesses. A weight is a factor that either increases or decreases the significance of data inputs in machine learning, and thus speeds up the learning. But if the weight is not accurate or is set at too high or too low a setting, it will have dramatic influences on the final outcome.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->In this context, bias to refer to computer systems that systematically and unfairly discriminate against certain individuals or groups of individuals in favour of others. Depending on how the algorithms and weights\u00a0 are set up, the system may have a bias for or against a certain outcome. This is relevant when tracking fraud or systems for awarding loans; people may be penalised or rewarded unfairly. There is a strong ethical component to the role of weights in neural networks, because they operate without human intervention.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><em><strong>Visualisation<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->A convolutional neural network recognises and classifies images. The algorithm guides the computer in this process. Images and pictures are particularly difficult for a computer. You and I will look at a picture and see a tree, a cow and a house. The computer sees a flat array of pixels. The computer has no sense of depth or perspective. In order for convolutional neural networks to interpret the flat pixel image, the computer compares the image with a very large set of image libraries. It goes back and forth between the libraries and the image. Hence the term convolutional. The algorithms initially look for and compare looking simple features such as edges and curves, and then build up to \u2018see\u2019 more abstract and complex concepts. When completed, the computer \u2018sees\u2019 the house or the cow as you and I would identify it.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->This is called visualisation. It brings a visual dimension (2 or 3D) to an object that is described in non-visual data. Visualisation allows an object to been \u201cseen\u201d without physically being there, with the help of these algorithms and convolutional neural networks.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><em><strong>Deep Learning<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Deep learning is related to this. It\u2019s a type of machine learning where artificial neural networks learn from large amounts of data. They do this by themselves once the algorithms and neural networks are set up. In other words, the \u2018machine\u2019 can go ahead (provided it has enough data or images) and solve complex problems by itself. That is super cool!<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->At its simplest, deep learning can be thought of as a way to automate predictive analytics.

It refers to the buying and selling of online ad impressions through real-time auctions that occur in the time it takes a webpage to load. As the ad impression loads in the user\u2019s browser, information about the page and the user is passed to an ad exchange, which auctions it off to the advertiser willing to pay the highest price for it. The winning bidder\u2019s ad is then loaded into the webpage nearly instantly; the whole process takes just milliseconds to complete.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Another technique is a recommendation engine.

They are able to perform multiple tasks, unlike vertical AI.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->AI developed analysing how the human brain works when solving a problem and then using those analytical problem-solving techniques to build complex algorithms to perform similar tasks. An algorithm is a process or set of rules to be followed by a computer when doing calculations or solving problems. It\u2019s pretty much the equivalent of a recipe to bake a cake. Except that the computer follows the set of rules every single time, without mistake. It is the set of instructions a computer will follow in order to complete a task.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->AI is an automated decision-making system, which continuously learns, adapts, suggests and takes actions automatically.

The machines learn from the history to produce reliable results.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Machine learning models are able to give accurate predictions in order to create real value for an organisation. In machine learning, prediction refers to the output of an algorithm after it has been trained on a historical dataset and it is applied to new data when forecasting the likelihood of a particular outcome, such as whether or not a customer will stop using a product or service. It helps to find the best model that represents our data and how well this model will work in the future.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Data scientists use machine learning to solve critical business problems.

Along with the photographs is information about what is on them. The computer analyses, sorts, and interprets what is on the photographs. This is called training. You then give the computer new photographs without the accompanying information and let it analyse, sort and interpret them, using the learning from the previous set.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Supervised learning can be used in sorting oranges to identify fruit that does not conform to a particular visual standard.

The computer must interpret the visual imagery to separate them into 5 different piles, one pile for each person. Unsupervised learning is useful for clustering, and there are many applications for customer segmentation in marketing.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->One industry commentator has estimated that there were fewer than 10,000 people around the world who have the necessary skills to create fully-functional machine learning systems.

They interpret sensory data through a kind of machine perception. The patterns they recognise are numerical, contained in vectors, into which all real-world data, be it images, sound, text or time series, must be translated.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Neural networks help us cluster and classify data. You can think of them as a clustering and classification layer on top of the data you store and manage. They help to group unlabelled data according to similarities among the example inputs, and they classify data when they have a labelled dataset to train on. The neural network decides what the similarities and the differences are.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Each step in a neural network involves a number of guesses. A weight is a factor that either increases or decreases the significance of data inputs in machine learning, and thus speeds up the learning. But if the weight is not accurate or is set at too high or too low a setting, it will have dramatic influences on the final outcome.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->In this context, bias to refer to computer systems that systematically and unfairly discriminate against certain individuals or groups of individuals in favour of others. Depending on how the algorithms and weights\u00a0 are set up, the system may have a bias for or against a certain outcome. This is relevant when tracking fraud or systems for awarding loans; people may be penalised or rewarded unfairly. There is a strong ethical component to the role of weights in neural networks, because they operate without human intervention.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><em><strong>Visualisation<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->A convolutional neural network recognises and classifies images. The algorithm guides the computer in this process. Images and pictures are particularly difficult for a computer. You and I will look at a picture and see a tree, a cow and a house. The computer sees a flat array of pixels. The computer has no sense of depth or perspective. In order for convolutional neural networks to interpret the flat pixel image, the computer compares the image with a very large set of image libraries. It goes back and forth between the libraries and the image. Hence the term convolutional. The algorithms initially look for and compare looking simple features such as edges and curves, and then build up to \u2018see\u2019 more abstract and complex concepts. When completed, the computer \u2018sees\u2019 the house or the cow as you and I would identify it.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->This is called visualisation. It brings a visual dimension (2 or 3D) to an object that is described in non-visual data. Visualisation allows an object to been \u201cseen\u201d without physically being there, with the help of these algorithms and convolutional neural networks.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><em><strong>Deep Learning<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Deep learning is related to this. It\u2019s a type of machine learning where artificial neural networks learn from large amounts of data. They do this by themselves once the algorithms and neural networks are set up. In other words, the \u2018machine\u2019 can go ahead (provided it has enough data or images) and solve complex problems by itself. That is super cool!<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->At its simplest, deep learning can be thought of as a way to automate predictive analytics.

Programmatic advertising is the automated process of buying and selling advertisements through an exchange, connecting advertisers to publishers. Programmatic advertising uses machine learning technology to improve efficiency and make better budget decisions for advertisers.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Real-time bidding is one of those techniques. It refers to the buying and selling of online ad impressions through real-time auctions that occur in the time it takes a webpage to load. As the ad impression loads in the user\u2019s browser, information about the page and the user is passed to an ad exchange, which auctions it off to the advertiser willing to pay the highest price for it. The winning bidder\u2019s ad is then loaded into the webpage nearly instantly; the whole process takes just milliseconds to complete.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Another technique is a recommendation engine.

They interpret sensory data through a kind of machine perception. The patterns they recognise are numerical, contained in vectors, into which all real-world data, be it images, sound, text or time series, must be translated.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Neural networks help us cluster and classify data. You can think of them as a clustering and classification layer on top of the data you store and manage. They help to group unlabelled data according to similarities among the example inputs, and they classify data when they have a labelled dataset to train on. The neural network decides what the similarities and the differences are.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Each step in a neural network involves a number of guesses. A weight is a factor that either increases or decreases the significance of data inputs in machine learning, and thus speeds up the learning. But if the weight is not accurate or is set at too high or too low a setting, it will have dramatic influences on the final outcome.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->In this context, bias to refer to computer systems that systematically and unfairly discriminate against certain individuals or groups of individuals in favour of others. Depending on how the algorithms and weights\u00a0 are set up, the system may have a bias for or against a certain outcome. This is relevant when tracking fraud or systems for awarding loans; people may be penalised or rewarded unfairly. There is a strong ethical component to the role of weights in neural networks, because they operate without human intervention.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><em><strong>Visualisation<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->A convolutional neural network recognises and classifies images. The algorithm guides the computer in this process. Images and pictures are particularly difficult for a computer. You and I will look at a picture and see a tree, a cow and a house. The computer sees a flat array of pixels. The computer has no sense of depth or perspective. In order for convolutional neural networks to interpret the flat pixel image, the computer compares the image with a very large set of image libraries. It goes back and forth between the libraries and the image. Hence the term convolutional. The algorithms initially look for and compare looking simple features such as edges and curves, and then build up to \u2018see\u2019 more abstract and complex concepts. When completed, the computer \u2018sees\u2019 the house or the cow as you and I would identify it.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->This is called visualisation. It brings a visual dimension (2 or 3D) to an object that is described in non-visual data. Visualisation allows an object to been \u201cseen\u201d without physically being there, with the help of these algorithms and convolutional neural networks.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><em><strong>Deep Learning<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Deep learning is related to this.

In other words, the \u2018machine\u2019 can go ahead (provided it has enough data or images) and solve complex problems by itself. That is super cool!<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->At its simplest, deep learning can be thought of as a way to automate predictive analytics.

It refers to the buying and selling of online ad impressions through real-time auctions that occur in the time it takes a webpage to load.

The winning bidder\u2019s ad is then loaded into the webpage nearly instantly; the whole process takes just milliseconds to complete.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Another technique is a recommendation engine.
