Me and My AI

Convolutional Neural Networks: this is CNN (but not the news network). A look at the AI technology behind a recent explosion in the effectiveness of artificial image recognition.

SHOW NOTES

1. Neural Networks Made Easy

This week we take a look at the machine language and software that we will be using to build our self-driving car.

SHOW NOTES:

1. Python Programming Language

2. Anaconda Programming Language (Python)

3. Spyder (Development Software)

More on how neural networks learn: Cost (how far you are from the mark) Gradient Descent (how to mathematically move to the desired outcome) and Stochastic Gradient Descent (how to move to the desired outcome in a system that is not uniform or random).

In this episode, I take a deeper look at how neural networks train themselves to do complex tasks (learn) and then engage in those complex tasks (work).

 

SHOW NOTES:

1. Predicting Ames House Prices

2. How do Artificial Neural Networks Learn

3. The Jerk

In episode 3 I discuss the structure of the human brain and how that structure is emulated by the neural networks of AIs.

1. The Neuron

2. The Neural Net Image (full article HERE)

3. The New Optimists

4. Swearing Robot from Boston Dynamics

An explanation of the single algorithm that underpins AI, the Bellman Equation, and the process that allows AI to model the randomness of life, the Markov Process. 

And don't worry, I keep it simple, for example, I start by telling you exactly what an algorithm is.

And in the RUMP, another excerpt.

2. The Markov Process: WIKIPEDIA

3. The Cartoon Guide to Calculus

Welcome to the very first episode of Me and My AI, the podcast in which I document two journeys: 

1. Creating an AI

2. Writing a novel in which an AI is a major character

In this very first episode I talk about a course I am taking, and an interesting article that I read about AI and also, if you stick around until the end (the RUMP of the podcast) I will read an excerpt from my WIP novel.
