Our Agenda for today…
• AI vs ML
• Deep Learning &
Neural Networks
• Supervised vs
unsupervised
• Naïve Bayes Classifier
• Genetic Algorithms

Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI)
is intelligence exhibited by machines.
In computer science, the field of AI
research defines itself as the study of
"intelligent agents": any device that
perceives its environment and takes actions
that maximize its chance of success at
some goal.

“takes actions that
maximize its chance of
success at some goal”

Machine Learning
Machine learning (ML) is the subfield
of computer science that gives "computers
the ability to learn without being explicitly
programmed."

“Don’t be afraid of artificial
intelligence, be afraid of humanity.”

Deep Learning
& Big Data
• Explosion of digital data
• Can’t be processed with
traditional methods
anymore

@joel__lord
#phpworld
Neural
Networks
• Breaking big
problems in small
layers
• Making connections

@joel__lord
#phpworld
Supervised
Learning
• Requires feedback
• Starts with nothing
and increases its
understanding
• Useless if the data
is of bad quality
• Use cases:
• Classification

@joel__lord
#phpworld
Unsupervised
Learning
• There is no feedback
• Good in the case of no right or
wrong answer
• Helps to identify patterns or data
structures
• Use case:
• You might also be interested
in…
• Grouping customers by
purchasing behaviors

Probability that a chocolate has nuts
Nuts No Nuts
Round 25% 75%
Square 75% 25%
Dark 10% 90%
Light 90% 10%

Do round, light chocolates have nuts?

Naïve Bayes Classifier in code
var Classifier = function() {
this.dictionaries = {};
};
Classifier.prototype.classify = function(text, group) {
};
Classifier.prototype.categorize = function(text) {
};

Sentiment
Analysis
• Not Machine
Learning
• Uses classifiers and
AFINN-165 (and
emojis)

@joel__lord
#phpworld
Sentiment
Analysis
• Javascript:
• npm install
sentiment
• PHP:
• composer require
risan/sentiment-
analysis

Genetic
Algorithm
• Awesome shit!

@joel__lord
#phpworld
Genetic
Algorithm
• Create a population of
random individuals
• Keep the closest individuals
• Keep a few random
individuals
• Introduce random
mutations
• Randomly create ”children”
• Magically end up with a
valid solution
