Birds of the Same Feather Flock Together: Explaining K Nearest Neighbors for Absolute Beginners

Image
  Just as birds of the same feather flock together, data points in a dataset with similar characteristics tend to cluster together. This is the fundamental idea behind the K Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm, a popular and intuitive method used in machine learning. This blog post aims to explain KNN in a way that is accessible and understandable for everyone. What is K Nearest Neighbors? K Nearest Neighbors, or KNN, is a supervised machine learning algorithm that classifies a data point based on how its neighbors are classified. To illustrate, imagine you're trying to understand a person's character. One way you might do this is by looking at their friends or the group they hang out with. If most of their friends are athletes, you might classify this person as an athlete too. This is similar to how KNN works. However, KNN is considered a lazy learning algorithm, meaning it doesn't immediately generalize from the training data. It waits until it is given a test observati

AI-Powered Food Delivery: A Future Dream for Freetown

  (serve robotics delivery bot on delivery) Imagine, if you will, the bustling streets of Freetown, Sierra Leone. The vibrant markets, the lively chatter, the aroma of freshly cooked street food filling the air. Now, picture a small, autonomous robot navigating its way through the crowd, carrying a delivery from your favorite restaurant. Sounds like a scene from a science fiction movie, right? Well, this is already a reality in Los Angeles, USA, thanks to a partnership between Uber Eats and Serve Robotics. The AI-Powered Delivery Revolution In LA, up to 2,000 of these AI-powered robots have been deployed to serve customers. Each robot is equipped with advanced AI models that allow it to understand its surroundings, navigate the city streets, and avoid obstacles. This technology is the result of years of research and development, and it's changing the game for food delivery services. The Robots in Action (Customer doing a pickup) Each robot can travel at a speed of up to seven

Spotlight on Transformers: The Role of Attention in Machine Learning

Image
  Hello, AI enthusiasts! Today, we're diving into the fascinating world of Transformers - not the shape-shifting robots, but a revolutionary architecture in machine learning that has transformed (pun intended) natural language processing. This blog post is aimed at beginners, so don't worry if you're new to the field. We're going to break it down step-by-step! What are Transformers? Transformers are a type of model architecture used in the field of deep learning, specifically for tasks involving natural language processing (NLP). Introduced by Vaswani et al. in a paper titled "Attention is All You Need" (2017), Transformers have achieved impressive results in a wide range of NLP tasks, such as translation, text summarization, and sentiment analysis.  Why 'Transformers'? The secret sauce of Transformers lies in their unique ability to 'transform' input data (like text) into meaningful output (like a translation or summary), thanks to the

Diving Into Greedy Search: A Beginner's Guide

Image
Introduction   If you're just starting out in the world of machine learning, welcome! One concept you may come across is the idea of a 'Greedy Search'. Don't worry - it's not as complex as it sounds. This beginner's guide aims to break down what greedy search is, how it works, and how it's used in machine learning.   What Is Greedy Search? Imagine you're playing a game. In this game, you need to make a series of decisions, one after the other. If you're using a greedy approach, you would always pick the option that looks best to you at that exact moment, without thinking about future decisions or the overall goal. That's essentially how greedy search works - it chooses the best option at each step, hoping these choices will lead to the best possible outcome. Greedy Search in Machine Learning In the realm of machine learning, greedy search is a strategy used to solve a variety of problems. Let's look at two main ways it's used:
