Machine Learning: When Computers Learn (On Their Own!)
摘要
As we have seen, the roots of AI lie in a fusion of ideas and visionary efforts, driven by pioneering reflections on the possibility of endowing machines with intelligence. From these origins, AI has undergone a rapid developmental trajectory, constantly redefining the boundaries of our interaction with intelligent technology. However, despite its 70-year history, the spectacular progress we have witnessed over the last quarter-century is also due to two other essential factors: the extraordinary power of computers, particularly those based on GPUs (graphics processing units), which are especially efficient in training and implementing machine learning algorithms, and the vast availability of data—Big Data—which, in many fields, is essential for training machine learning algorithms (see Fig. 3.1).
