Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way businesses and governments are developing and using information. This course offers an overview of AI, its history, and its use in real-world situations; prior knowledge of machine learning, neural network, and probabilistic approaches is recommended. There are multiple definitions of AI, but the most common view is that it is software which enables a machine to think and act like a human, and to think and act rationally. Because AI differs from plain programing, the programming language used will depend on the application. In this series of videos, you will be introduced to multiple tools and techniques used in AI development. Also discussed are important issues in its application, such as the ethics and reliability of its use. You will set up a programing environment for developing AI applications and learn the best approaches to developing AI, as well as common mistakes. Gain the ability to communicate the value AI can bring to businesses today, along with multiple areas where AI is already being used.

Human computer interaction (HCI) design is the starting point for an artificial intelligence (AI) program. Overall HCI design is a creative problem-solving process oriented to the goal of satisfying largest number of customers. In this course, you will cover multiple methodologies used in the HCI design process and explore prototyping and useful techniques for software development and maintenance. First, learn how the anthropomorphic approach to HCI focuses on keeping the interaction with computers similar to human interactions. The cognitive approach pays attention to the capacities of a human brain. Next, learn to use the empirical approach to HCI to quantitatively evaluate interaction and interface designs, and predictive modeling is used to optimize the screen space and make interaction with the software more intuitive. You will examine how to continually improve HCI designs, develop personas, and use case studies and conduct usability tests. Last, you will examine how to improve the program design continually for AI applications; develop personas; use case studies; and conduct usability tests.

In developing AI (artificial intelligence) applications, it is important to play close attention to human-computer interaction (HCI) and design each application for specific users. To make a machine intelligent, a developer uses multiple techniques from an AI toolbox; these tools are actually mathematical algorithms that can demonstrate intelligent behavior. The course examines the following categories of AI development: algorithms, machine learning, probabilistic modelling, neural networks, and reinforcement learning. There are two main types of AI tools available: statistical learning, in which large amount of data is used to make certain generalizations that can be applied to new data; and symbolic AI, in which an AI developer must create a model of the environment with which the AI agent interacts and set up the rules. Learn to identify potential AI users, the context of using the applications, and how to create user tasks and interface mock-ups.

This course covers simple and complex types of AI (artificial intelligence) available in today's market. In it, you will explore theories of mind research, self-aware AI, artificial narrow intelligence, artificial general intelligence, and artificial super intelligence. First, learn the ways in which AI is used today in agriculture, medicine, by the military, in financial services, and by governments. As a special field of computer science that uses mathematics, statistics, cognitive and behavioral sciences, AI uses unique applications to perform actions based on data it uses as an input, and does so by mimicking the activity within the human brain. No data can be 100 percent accurate, bringing a certain degree of uncertainty to any kind of AI application. So this course seeks to explain how and why AI needs to be developed for a particular use scenario, helping you understand the many aspects involved in AI programming and how AI performance needs to be good enough to complete a certain task.

In data science, many statistical and analytical techniques can be used to pull meaningful insights from data. Some advanced data science methods rely on other foundational data science methods, such as text mining. In this course, you will learn about advanced data science methods and their use cases. Begin this course with an exploration of advanced machine learning (ML) methods, such as text mining and graph analysis, and their uses. Next, you will discover the anomaly and novelty detection processes. You will examine association rule mining and neural networks, including their use cases across industries. Then you will focus on common challenges during artificial intelligence (AI) and ML model training, the trade-offs between model complexity and interpretability, and the role of natural language processing (NLP) in text analysis. Finally, you will investigate the potential of computer vision techniques and applications of reinforcement learning.

Data science methods are used across several industries to deliver value to businesses. Machine learning (ML) is a data science method that uses prediction algorithms that find patterns in massive amounts of data, allowing machines to predict future results and make decisions with minimal human intervention. Through this course, learn foundational methods for using machine learning. Examine what machine learning is, how it is categorized, and common machine learning challenges. Next, learn about common types of machine learning tasks, such as clustering, classification, and regression. Finally, explore the types of regression, including simple and multiple linear regression. Upon completion, you'll be able to define machine learning and methods for using it.
