Introducing ML and DL
We have discussed how we’ve grappled with the idea of using machines since the 1950s, but we want to expand on the history of ML and DL artificial neural networks (ANNs) to give you a sense of how long these models have been around in order to give greater context and demonstrate the evolution these technologies have experienced to date.
The old – exploring ML
ML models attempt to create some representation of reality in order to help us make some sort of data-driven decision. Essentially, we use mathematics to represent some phenomenon that’s happening in the real world. ML essentially takes mathematics and statistics to predict or classify some future state. The paths diverge in one of two ways:
- The first group lies with the emergence of models that continue to progress through statistical models.
- The second group lies with the emergence of models that try to mimic our own natural neural intelligence.
