A hitchhicker's guide to Artificial Intelligence

In this post we covered a brief history of AI and how it evolved over the years through symbolic AI, ML and DL. We also tried to understand how AI, ML and DL are related/correlated with one other (figure 6). These terms often muddle a lot of people and are often used interchangeably. There is a lot of hype around DL models due to their ability to better deal with complex problems such as image classification, text processing etc. Additionally these models also remove the necessity to manually engineer features, amenable to the objective at hand. Therefore, in the next post we shall be delving into the details of DL models and try to understand its various components along with examples.
