The Adventures of AI: A Tale of Wonder and Learning

Summary Table of Contents The paper "Attention is all you need" by Vaswani et al. (2017) introduced the Transformer, a novel neural network architecture for machine translation that relies solely on attention mechanisms. This paper marked a significant shift in the field of natural language processing (NLP), as it demonstrated that attention-based models could achieve state-of-the-art results on various NLP tasks. What is attention? Attention is a mechanism that allows the model to focus on the most relevant parts of the input when generating the output. This is achieved by assigning weights to different parts of the input, with higher weights indicating greater importance. The resulting weighted sum of the input then forms the basis for the output. How does the Transformer work? The Transformer is an encoder-decoder architecture. The encoder takes the input sequence (e.g., a sentence in one language) and generates a representation of the input. The decoder then takes the enc

"Machine learning: AI's data-driven branch, enabling pattern recognition, predictions, and automation for valuable insights." Table of Contents Machine learning is a special part of artificial intelligence (AI) that helps computers learn and make smart choices without being told exactly what to do. It's like teaching a computer to think and make decisions on its own! To do this, we use special algorithms and models that can look at lots and lots of information, find patterns in it, and then use those patterns to make predictions or take action. In machine learning, computers get better over time by learning from the information they see. They start by looking at a bunch of data and figuring out patterns from it. Then, they use those patterns to make predictions or choices based on what they've learned. This process is like teaching a computer to recognize things and make smart decisions. Machine learning is used in many cool things like recognizing pictures and vo

"The AI Winter: A History of Overhyped Promises and Limitations" Table of Contents Back in the 1970s and 1980s, scientists were trying to make computers think and learn like humans. They called this artificial intelligence (AI) research. But they faced some big challenges, and it didn't go very smoothly. They called this difficult time the AI winter. One of the reasons for the AI winter was that the early computer programs they made for AI were too simple. Scientists thought these programs could do things that only humans could do, like understand language, solve problems, and make decisions. But the programs weren't advanced enough, and they couldn't handle complicated tasks. This made the scientists and the people who gave them money feel disappointed. Another problem was that the AI programs didn't work well when they were used on big and complicated systems. They were good for small things, but not for big ones. The computers at that time didn't
