Machine Intelligence
and how it evolved

Crazy about A.I.
And pretty much lots of other things
As geek as it can get, chiefly
about the X-Men
Proud to be a family man and
father of three

One doesn’t need to be a subject matter expert to
share knowledge. Whilst the one sharing must be
open to criticism, the one listening is responsible
to fact check, give feedback and spread what has
been learned.
The sharing process must be organic.

Machine Learning

What is it about?

Computing Machinery & Intelligence
Original question:
Can machines think?
Alternative question:
Are there imaginable digital
computers which would do
well in the imitation game?
Alan Turing

Machine Learning
Arthur Samuel (1959)
Machine Learning: Field of study that gives
computers the ability to learn without being
explicitly programmed.
Tom Mitchell (1998)
Well-posed Learning Problem: A computer
program is said to learn from experience E with
respect to some task T and some performance
measure P, if its performance on T, as measured
by P, improves with experience E.
Classifying emails as spam or not spam.
(T)
Watching you label emails as spam or not
spam. (E)
The number (or fraction) of emails
correctly classified as spam/not spam. (P)

A look into tomorrow’s A.I.
[Hyped] Unsupervised
Learning
Mostly done on research still
Economics
68% of enterprises using A.I.
by 2018
300% increase in investment
in 2017
More than $47 billion
market by 2020

Defensive Barriers
Data is the only barrier one can
build!
Community is open and
algorithms pop up every day
There is an open data movement.
The idea is to speed up the A.I.
evolution.
“It’s not who has the best algorithm that wins. It’s who has the
most data.”
Banko en Brill, 2001

A.I. as a Product
Anything a typical human can do within a second of
thought, can probably be automated, now or soon,
with A.I.
