The Transformative Power of Artificial Intelligence: Shaping the Future In the realm of technological advancements, few innovations have captured the world's imagination as much as Artificial Intelligence (AI). From science fiction to reality, AI has become a powerful force driving transformative changes across various industries and sectors. Its significance cannot be overstated, as it has the potential to reshape the way we live, work, and interact with our surroundings. In this blog, we delve into the importance of AI and explore the profound impact it has on our society. 1. Enhancing Efficiency and Productivity: One of the most apparent benefits of AI is its ability to boost efficiency and productivity across industries. By automating repetitive tasks, AI liberates human resources to focus on more complex and creative endeavors. Businesses can streamline processes, optimize resource allocation, and make data-driven decisions faster, resulting in cost savings and increased com...
I. Introduction A machine learning algorithm (such as classification, clustering or regression) uses a training dataset to determine weight factors that can be applied to unseen data for predictive purposes. Behind every machine learning model is an optimization algorithm that relies heavily on calculus . In this article, we discuss one such optimization algorithm, namely, the Gradient Descent Approximation (GDA) and we’ll show how it can be used to build a simple regression estimator. II. Optimization Using the Gradient Descent Algorithm II.1 Derivatives and Gradients In one-dimension, we can find the maximum and minimum of a function using derivatives. Let us consider a simple quadratic function f(x) as shown below. Minimum of a simple function using gradient descent algorithm. Image by Benjamin O. Tayo Suppose we want to find the minimum of the function f(x) . Using the gradient descent method with some initial guess, X gets updated according...
