Researchers predict that machine learning will become even more significant in the upcoming years. It is definitely worth to know the top AI ideas and solutions. New products and services are developed every month – we are not even aware of all the apps, websites, and platforms based on machine learning.
To understand better how ML and similar technologies work, you should check out the useful resources we collected here to give you a comprehensive guide on artificial intelligence. Read the articles and news below to get insight into the AI-related subjects. You will find explanations with examples written by specialists and machine learning enthusiasts. Let’s jump right in and learn more about AI.
What is AI?
To begin your journey with machine learning, you should understand what artificial intelligence is. How these two fields interfere with each other? It is worth knowing that AI is the central area of science focused on computing algorithms created to imitate the human brain. Currently, computers are limited in terms of creativity, morality and invention. But they can beat people in logical exercises. And they definitely can analyze tons of data which wouldn’t even be possible for us.
The world is evolving rapidly. Because of the internet and easily accessible media, we get bombed with information every second of our existence. We need the help of computers to process them. And that’s what artificial intelligence with all its subsets is for. Simply put, they work with provided data in search of patterns and abnormalities.
Machine learning is a part of AI, just like other similar algorithms. Its name comes from the way it uses data to learn new patterns and predict future results. It is one of the top AI solutions, used already in many products we interact with on a daily basis. Such algorithms power Google search results. The same goes for social media platforms and their recommendations.
Our machine learning content
To show our clients the potential of machine learning, we decided it would be best to give them some knowledge. We use our blog to educate and explain all the nuances of technical innovation. So we took AI algorithms and wrote articles about them. We did our research to find out what are the main questions when it comes to machine learning. It’s quite a mysterious topic, so we thought the best way to approach it is to describe the basics and use cases. That’s precisely what we did.
Why is machine learning a growing trend? – In this piece, we take a closer look at the increasing popularity of ML and explain everything you need to know about these artificial intelligence algorithms. You will read about types of machine learning based on their work pattern. We also compare it with other types of AI. There is an exhaustive list of examples, too. It’s a more general article where you will find information that can be useful for beginners.
Machine Learning vs. Deep Learning – Two names that are often mixed. In the article, we discuss the similarities and differences between them. As AI subsets, these two algorithm types offer great possibilities, but their work and data processing style are not the same. To understand why we need both – check out this blog post. This way, you will learn even more about machine learning and related subjects.
Machine Learning examples
We already did some machine learning projects for our clients. Working with AI is not a piece of cake, but fortunately, we have specialists on board – this way, we can offer such innovative services. Also, there are plenty of pre-made tools that can be perfect for building new AI solutions. If you need help if your existing product or you want to create a machine learning app from scratch – we’re here for you. Check out what we did already – here’s a sneak peek from our Portfolio.
Postepic
There are so many memorable quotes we would like to share on our social media accounts. But not everyone wants to waste time transcribing the text from the book and then designing a graphic that will be Instagram-worthy. Not to mention that most of us don’t know how to create visually aesthetic images.
This is when Postepic comes in handy. With the power of AI, it captures quotes from books and transforms them into beautiful, sharable images. The solution is based on Optical Character Recognition (OCR) from Google Vision API – thus, the Postepic app can read the text from the book and put it on your phone screen.
Undisclosed client 1
Who knew that one day we would be able to remove backgrounds from images and photos? Another solution we did is based on Google Cloud and is programmed in the smallest detail. That’s because machine learning needs researchers to work correctly. They pay attention to irregularities and adjust the algorithm to manage them.
This type of machine learning solution starts with small examples of data and progresses to more complicated ones. The client wanted to remove backgrounds from images that contained people and objects. The latter was usually easier to process – portraits have more tricky details like hair, fabric shapes, etc.
Undisclosed client 2
Chatbots and voice bots are currently one of the most promising trends. Artificial intelligence can be a perfect tool for process automation. We used machine learning to develop a voice-based chatbot as a part of the customer support line for one of our clients.
For this project, we used a Dialogflow natural language processing tool. Machine learning solutions based on voice recognition and text-to-speech are particularly interesting as they imitate human conversations. They have to be as natural as possible and provide value to customers that will use them. It’s a challenging task to accomplish, but we know that most customer service activities will be automated by chatbots in the future.
