Today, we will begin learning about the different types of AI models used in the modelling phase. Can anyone tell me what they think is the difference between supervised and unsupervised learning?
I think supervised learning uses labeled data, while unsupervised learning works with unlabeled data.
Exactly! Supervised learning trains models with labeled datasets for predictions. Can Student_2 give me an example of supervised learning?
Like when we use a dataset of emails that are labeled as 'spam' or 'not spam'?
Yes, great example! Now Student_3, what about unsupervised learning?
I think it could be clustering customers based on their buying patterns without pre-labeled categories.
That's correct! And there's also reinforcement learning, where the model learns through trial and error. Can anyone summarize what we discussed today?
We talked about supervised and unsupervised learning, along with reinforcement learning and how they differ!
Great summary! Remember the acronym 'SUR' for Supervised, Unsupervised, and Reinforcement to recall the types of models. Let's move on to the steps in the modelling phase.
Now that we understand the types of AI models, let's dive into the steps involved in the modelling process. Can anyone tell me what the first step is?
Splitting the data into training and testing sets?
That's correct! Why do we split the data, Student_2?
To avoid overfitting, right?
Exactly! We need a separate dataset to test our model’s performance after training. What comes next after splitting the data, Student_3?
Choosing the algorithm?
Right! We choose an algorithm that fits our problem. Student_4, can you name a few algorithms we might choose?
We could use Decision Trees or Support Vector Machines!
Perfect! After that, we train our model using this data. What do we do after training, Student_1?
We evaluate the model with accuracy and other metrics?
Correct! Always remember to evaluate to see how well your model is doing. Let's summarize, we start with splitting data, then choose an algorithm, train the model, and finally evaluate it.
In this session, we will explore some critical concepts in modelling like overfitting and underfitting. Can anyone tell me what overfitting means?
Isn't it when the model is too complex and learns from noise instead of the actual data?
Exactly, Student_2! What about underfitting, Student_3?
That's when the model is too simple to capture the complexity of the data?
Correct again! Both concepts are part of the bias-variance tradeoff. Can anyone explain what that means?
It's finding the balance between bias and variance to avoid both overfitting and underfitting.
Great explanation! Remember this concept helps us fine-tune our models for better predictions. Now, let’s recap: overfitting is too complex, underfitting is too simple, and the tradeoff balances both.

In the modelling phase of the AI Project Cycle, various types of AI models are trained using acquired data. Students learn to split data, select algorithms, train models, and evaluate performance through key metrics, addressing essential concepts like overfitting, underfitting, and the bias-variance tradeoff.
Modelling is a crucial step in the AI Project Cycle where algorithms are trained to predict or classify data points based on cleaned data. This process is vital in utilizing data to its full potential, ensuring that predictions are as accurate as possible.
There are three main types of AI models:
1. Supervised Learning: This involves using labeled data to train models for classification or prediction tasks.
2. Unsupervised Learning: Here, patterns are identified in unlabeled data, useful for clustering and association tasks.
3. Reinforcement Learning: A technique where models learn optimal actions through trial and error in an environment, receiving rewards or penalties based on their actions.
The modelling process includes the following steps:
1. Splitting Data: Dividing the dataset into training and testing sets to avoid overfitting.
2. Choosing the Algorithm: Selecting the appropriate algorithm for the model, such as Decision Trees, Support Vector Machines (SVM), or K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN).
3. Training the Model: This step involves feeding the algorithm with training data to learn from it.
4. Evaluating the Model: After training, the model's performance is assessed using metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score.
Key concepts to understand while modulating include:
- Overfitting: When a model is too complex and learns noise from the training data instead of the actual signal.
- Underfitting: This occurs when a model is too simple to capture the underlying structure of the data.
- Cross-validation: A technique used to assess how the results of a statistical analysis will generalize to an independent dataset.
- Bias-Variance Tradeoff: The balance between the error introduced by bias (error due to overly simplistic assumptions) and variance (error due to excessive sensitivity to fluctuations in the training set).
Understanding and applying these concepts is foundational for successfully moving on to the evaluation and deployment phases of AI projects.

Modelling is the process of training an AI algorithm using the acquired and cleaned data to predict or classify future data points.
Modelling is a crucial step in the AI project cycle where we take the data we've collected and cleaned to create a model that can make predictions. Think of it as teaching a machine to recognize patterns in the data, which allows it to understand and predict future outcomes based on the data it has worked with.
Imagine teaching a child to recognize different fruits. At first, you show them pictures of apples, bananas, and oranges, explaining the differences. After enough examples, the child learns to identify fruits on their own, even new ones they haven't seen before, much like a model learns from data.

Types of AI Models:
1. Supervised Learning – Labeled data used for prediction/classification
2. Unsupervised Learning – Patterns discovered from unlabeled data
3. Reinforcement Learning – Learning through rewards and penalties
There are three main types of AI models. In supervised learning, the model learns from labeled data, where it knows what the output should be. In unsupervised learning, the model analyzes data without predefined labels, looking for patterns on its own. Reinforcement learning involves training the model through rewards and penalties to learn the best actions to take in a given situation.
Think of supervised learning like a teacher helping a student with homework by providing answers. Unsupervised learning is like providing a puzzle without a reference image and letting the person figure it out. Reinforcement learning is similar to training a pet with treats; they learn which actions lead to receiving treats (positive reinforcement) or avoiding negative consequences (penalties).

Steps:
1. Splitting Data – Training and Testing sets
2. Choosing the Algorithm – Decision Trees, SVM, KNN, etc.
3. Training the Model
4. Evaluating the Model – Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1 Score
The modeling process consists of several key steps. First, we split the dataset into two parts: one for training the model and one for testing its performance. Next, we choose an algorithm suitable for our problem, such as Decision Trees or Support Vector Machines (SVM). After this, we train the model on the training data. Finally, we evaluate the model using metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, which help us understand how well our model performs.
Consider building a model like a two-part exam. The first part is practice, where you learn the material (training), and the second part is a test where you show what you have learned (testing). You would need to pick the right study methods (algorithm) and measure your performance afterwards to see how well you grasped the material.

Important Concepts:
• Overfitting and Underfitting
• Cross-validation
• Bias-Variance Tradeoff
Understanding key concepts in modeling is vital. Overfitting happens when a model learns too much detail from the training data, making it perform poorly on new data. Underfitting occurs when a model is too simple to capture the underlying trends in the data. Cross-validation is a technique to improve model accuracy by splitting the data into different sets for testing to ensure the model's performance is reliable. The bias-variance tradeoff is about finding the right balance between making accurate predictions and ensuring the model is generalizable to new data.
Imagine a tailor making clothes. If they make the clothes too fitted (overfitting), they won't fit well on a different body shape. If the clothes are too loose and basic (underfitting), they won’t look good on anyone. Cross-validation is like getting feedback from several customers before finalizing the design, ensuring it meets a variety of needs. The bias-variance tradeoff is akin to balancing style and comfort in clothing — you want the clothes to look good universally, not just on one person.
