Artificial Intelligence - A Guide for Thinking Humans Melanie Mitchell

 

Chapter 1 The Roots of Artificial Intelligence

• The concept of supervised learning is a key part of modern AI.
• Training set. Test set.
• Perceptron learning algorithm.
• Even at beginning, AI suffered from a hype problem approach.
• Easy things are hard.

Chapter 2 Neural Networks and the Ascent of Machine Learning

• rebutted: réfuter
• to soar: monter en flèche
• pep: vitalité
• imbued: imprégné
• disparagingly: de façon désobligeante

• "activation"
• "back-propagation"
• I trained both a perceptron and a two-layer neural network, each with 324 inputs and 10 outputs, on the handwritten-digit-recognition task, using sixty thousand examples, and then tested how well each was able to recognize ten thousand new examples.
• The term "connectionist" refers to the idea that knowledge in these networks resides in weighted connections between units.
