Effective Data For Machine Learning to take place and for AI to effective it needs high quality data. It also needs as much as it can get. Data is the food that feeds AI. If the food is bad or scarce (or both) then the AI will be do very poorly.  Data can be just that, data, numbers. It can also be words, it can be images, sounds, videos and so on. It converts it all into numbers anyway. This data is pushed through the training process repeatedly to train it. But not all the data is used. Some [...]

What are neural networks? Neural Networks are the foundations of much of what we call Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning. Basically they are a type of algorithm that tries to learn patterns from data. The key word here is learn. Just like you and me we need some form of input data, for us it is from our five senses.  Our brains then process that information and try to learn from it. So if you watch a baby trying to learn how to crawl it does it through throwing its arms and legs in different directions and the the [...]

Machine Learning is the discipline of training a computer to find patterns in data. This data could be in the form of sensor readings, images, historical stock market results etc. It can look at any data and try to approximate. It does this by mapping inputs to outputs and make a prediction. For instance you could collect all the data on houses in a particular area (number of bedrooms, type of house, garage, garden, driveway etc and price sold) and predict what price a new property on the market might realistically fetch. Plant Data Another example might be the [...]
