Series: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Introduction

Hi there, welcome to a series on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. AI/ML is now starting to become big in the tech industry with involvement from various big players such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft. And there are multiple terms such Generative AI, RAG, Tranformers and so on which are confusing and may lead to misunderstanding. This series is an attempt to provide a high-level view of:

  • terms used within AI/ML space
  • introduction to AI/ML
  • what are the different models used in AI/ML and for what purpose
  • latest trends within AI/ML space
  • and a few more 😊

I like the definition shared by IBM for AI/ML.
