If we can replicate neurons and how they are connected, can we replicate the behavior of our brains? In this episode of the AI Today podcast hosts Kathleen Walch and Ron Schmelzer define the terms (Artificial) Neural Networks, Node, and layer, and explain how they relate to AI an...

For a number of reasons, it can be important to reduce the number of variables or identified features in input training data so as to make training machine learning models faster and more accurate. But what are the techniques for doing this? In this episode of the AI Today podcas...

For time-consuming parts of the machine learning workflow people often look for tricks and techniques to help speed up the process. In this episode of the AI Today podcast hosts Kathleen Walch and Ron Schmelzer define the terms feature and feature engineering, explain how they re...

Regression is a statistical and mathematical technique to find the relationship between two or more variables. In this episode of the AI Today podcast hosts Kathleen Walch and Ron Schmelzer define the terms Regression and Linear Regression and explain how they relate to AI and wh...

The idea of grouping similar types of data together is the main idea behind clustering. Clustering supports the goals of Unsupervised Learning which is finding patterns in data without requiring labeled datasets. In this episode of the AI Today podcast hosts Kathleen Walch and Ro...

In this episode of the AI Today podcast hosts Kathleen Walch and Ron Schmelzer define DeepBlue, including what it is and why it’s notable for AI.
