11 stops · basics first
  1. Dataset ✓ understood

    A collection of data examples used for training, validating, or testing machine learning models.

  2. Feature ✓ understood

    A single measurable property of an example, such as a house's floor area or how many links an email contains, used as an input to a model.

  3. Machine Learning ✓ understood

    Building systems that learn patterns from data instead of following hand-written rules, getting better at a task as they see more examples.

  4. Neural Network ✓ understood

    A computational model inspired by biological neural networks, consisting of interconnected nodes (neurons) organized in layers that process information through weighted connections.

  5. Deep Learning ✓ understood

    A subset of machine learning that uses neural networks with multiple layers (deep neural networks) to learn hierarchical representations of data.

  6. Representation Learning ✓ understood

    Learning useful features or representations of data automatically, rather than hand-crafting them.

  7. Embedding ✓ understood

    A list of numbers (a vector) that represents a word, sentence, image or other item, learned so that similar items end up close together.

  8. Computer Vision ✓ understood

    The field of AI that gets computers to extract meaning from images and video: what is in them, where it is, and how it moves.

  9. Bounding Box ✓ understood

    A rectangular box defined by coordinates that localizes an object in an image, used in object detection.

  10. Object Detection ✓ understood

    Finding every object of interest in an image and giving each a class label, a confidence score and a bounding box.

  11. Face Detection ✓ understood

    Locating faces in images, a precursor to recognition and analysis.

  12. Facial Recognition · you are here ✓ understood
