9 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. Normalization ✓ understood

    Scaling features to a standard range (typically 0-1 using min-max scaling) to improve model training and convergence. Often used interchangeably with standardization (mean=0, std=1), though technically distinct.

  4. Data Preprocessing ✓ understood

    Cleaning, transforming, and preparing raw data for model training (handling missing values, normalization, encoding).

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Deep Learning ✓ understood

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

  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. Image Preprocessing ✓ understood

    Transforming images before model input (resizing, normalization, color adjustment).

  10. Image Normalization · you are here ✓ understood

Scaling pixel values to standard ranges (e.g., mean=0, std=1) to improve training.

This concept is essential for understanding computer vision and forms a key part of modern AI systems.
