A computer program which has the ability to think, solve problems, learn, set goals, and create. It is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. 4 - John McCarthy, 2002 Deep, Machine, Intelligence Learning? Deep Learning Machine Learning Artificial Intelligence Subarea of ML Subarea of AI Highly Simplified Where multi-layered Neural Algorithms that enable machines to A program that can “sense”, reason, Networks learn based on make decisions and improve by act, and adapt. high volumes of data learning over time. 5 Brief Timeline Deep Learning Machine Learning Artificial Intelligence 1965 1805-1957 Since 2000s - GAME CHANGER ”Birth”* of deep learning Algorithm groundwork and first self- Cost of computations and storage drop (Ukraine) learning algorithm * Principle of automatic models generation, inconclusive decisions, and selection by external criteria by Alexey Ivakhnenko 6 Keeping the Perspective That is what we mostly do Accomplishment of one or a very few goals NARROW AI 7 SUPERVISED Learning 8 UNSUPERVISED Learning 9 Some examples on how that works today What exactly is this about?

A Major Challenge ExampleThe TRANSPARENCY on TRUST buildingProblem Even if the outcome is correct, the path to it might not necessarily be the one you expected. The more HIV prediction for medication combinatorics A,B,C or D,A,Z complex the algorithm, the more difficult to explain in human terms, the less we initially do trust them. The TRAINING Problem There is no such thing as free lunch and data plus “the lab” to be trained in needs to be funded. If the lab can’t be simulated (as in Gaming), the question of money is - to no surprise - connected to real budgets.
