TIMELINE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

In today’s world, having some kind of knowledge about the history of artificial intelligence is crucial as it is prevalent everywhere. But if we consider it as a contemporary tool, then it would be our misconception.

Our forerunners had been building the concept of AI  for quite some time with the help of classical philosophers analyzing human thinking to be more of a symbolic system. A popular myth among the ancient Greeks was robots, while automates can be traced back to the ancient Greeks. 





Let’s now discuss the timeline of Artificial Intelligence.



Maturation of AI (1943-52)


  • Year 1943: Warren McCulloch and Walter pits initiated the very first work which is currently recognized as AI.  and Walter pits in 1943.


  • Year 1949:  An updating rule for the modification of the connection strength between neurons was demonstrated by Donald Hebb. 


  • Year 1950: An English mathematician, Alan Turing pioneered Machine learning in 1950. A test was proposed by Alan Turing under ‘computing machinery and intelligence’. The test which can evaluate the machine's skill to display intelligent behavior equivalent to human intelligence, is called a Turing test.


Birth of AI (1952-56)


  • Year 1955: First artificial intelligence program which was named as "Logic Theorist" was created by Simon .38 of 52 Mathematics theorems, were found by him and many more elegant proofs for some theorems.


  • Year 1956:  "Artificial Intelligence” ,the word,  was first adopted by an American computer scientist called John McCarthy at the conference in Dartmouth. 


The golden years (1956- 74)


  • Year 1966: The researchers focused on creating algorithms which can solve various mathematical problems. Joseph Weizenbaum created the very first chatbot in the year 1966, which was named ELIZA.


  • Year 1972: WABOT-1 was the first intelligent humanoid robot built in Japan. 


Emergence of intelligent agents (1993-  2011)


  • Year 1997: In the year 1997,Gary Kasparov was beaten up by IBM Deep Blue in the world chess championship and became the first computer to beat a world chess champion. 


  • Year 2002: AI entered the home for the very first time as Roomba, a vacuum cleaner.


  • Year 2006: AI entered the Business world till 2006. Big companies like Facebook, Twitter, and Netflix also started using AI. 


Big Data and Artificial General Intelligence (2011- present)


  • Year 2011: IBM's Watson won jeopardy which is a quiz show in 2011 where it was asked to solve the complex tricky questions as well as riddles. Watson proved that it could understand language and can solve complex equations speedily.


  • Year 2012: Google launched an Android app feature named "Google now", which provided information to the user as a prediction.


  • Year 2014: Chatbot’s "Eugene Goostman" won a competition in the  Turing test.


  • Year 2018: IBM’s ‘Project Debater’  debated on various complex topics with two expert debaters and performed extremely well.


  • Google exhibited an AI program named "Duplex" which was a virtual assistant and which took a hairdresser appointment on call, and the lady on the other side wouldn't notice that she was actually talking with the machine.

INFORMATION GAIN IN DECISION TREE THROUGH GINI INDEX

Image
Best suited for classification and regression problems, decision trees are supervised machine learning algorithms. These algorithms are constructed by breaking down the training data into subsets of output variables of the same class by implementing the particular splitting conditions at each node. The information gain in decision trees is directly formulated through training  into a hierarchical structure. The knowledge is holed and displayed by this structure  in such a way that it can easily be understood, even by non-experts. While building a decision tree,  each node focuses on identifying the attribute and a split condition on that attribute which minimizes the class labels mixing, because pure homogeneous subsets is not possible to achieve consequently giving relatively pure subsets. In this blog, we will discuss the concept of , information gain, gini index and gini index. With the root node of the decision tree, this process of classification begins and  gets expanded by appl

Fundamental & Technical Analysis | Analytics Steps

Image
To understand the business from an investment perspective, there are always two schools of thought that come to mind, people who follow fundamental analysis and those who follow technical analysis . However some investors do both analysis to understand the business from every aspect. Let us understand both in detail. Fundamental analysis Fundamental analysis is a method or approach to understand business deeply and separate the daily short term noise in the stock prices to concentrate the underlying business performance. Fundamentally strong companies' stock prices tend to appreciate in the long run and therefore create wealth for the investors. Fundamental analysis is generally done from a macro to micro perspective in order to identify securities which are not correctly priced by the market. An investor can perform fundamental analysis just by looking at the overall state economy, bond value, interest rate etc. A fundamental analyst creates a model to estimate the company’s shar
