Topics: Data Science and Artificial Intelligence: Recent Issues and Challenges
Abstract:
In this lecture we will discuss the current trends and challenges in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The first part of the lecture will cover the basic issues and challenges in data science. We will start from simple to complex data and finally discuss about big data analysis. The use new architecture like Spark to handle large volume of data will be discussed.
In the second part of the lecture we will focus more on different machine learning algorithms which is important component of Artificial Intelligence. Supervised and unsupervised pattern classification are important Machine Learning techniques which have wide range of applications. While supervised classification techniques use training samples to find the class information of test samples, unsupervised classification partitioning a given data set into homogeneous groups based on some similarity/dissimilarity metric. We will see how supervised and unsupervised machine leaning algorithms like KNN, Decision Tree, Bayes classifier, K Mean, FCM etc. are useful for images as well as biological data analysis. Finally we will discuss the use of advance machine learning technique Deep Learning.
