Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning
By Dr. Sishaj P Simon, Professor, Dept. of EEE, NIT, Trichy.
The speaker introduced the concept of AI and ML. He defined deep learning as a subset of machine learning that uses specialized layers of computation stacked up to create a deep structure, which overcomes limitations of conventional neural networks. Speaker explained linear regression and how it is used to predict or estimate values based on input variables. Finally speaker demonstrated an example of forecasting load using machine learning and shows how training and validation is done.
