This page is where I am collecting analogies to explain artificial intelligence, machine learning, and all that jazz.

An ananlogy

A tensorflow model is how you plan your hunt. You select the game you're after, study their habits, and choose the right equipment. Then you go out into the field and track your prey. The better you know your quarry, the more likely you are to bring home a trophy.
In the same way, text and labels are used to train a tensorflow model in recognizing malformed sentences. By carefully studying a set of data, the model can learn to identify patterns and make predictions. The more data it has to work with, the more accurate its predictions will be.
the way the model recognizes patterns is analogous to the way a hunter tracks their prey. The more data the model has, the more accurately it can identify patterns and make predictions.
the way the model gets data is analogous to the way a hunter gets information about their prey. By studying a set of data, the model can learn to identify patterns and make predictions. The more data it has to work with, the more accurate its predictions will be.
when a model correctly identifies a sentence as malformed, it is analogous to a hunter successfully tracking and killing their prey because both require a great deal of skill and knowledge and that is why text and labels are used to train a tensorflow model in recognizing malformed sentences.

Another Analogy using lists

The machine learning model is like a hunter going after its prey. It stalks the prey, tracks its every move, and then finally pounces when the time is right. This is how the machine learning model works, it stalks the data, tracks its every move, and then finally pounces when the time is right. the prey is the data and the hunter is the machine learning model. The hunter learns like a machine learning model in the following ways:
1. The hunter learns about its prey through observation.
2. The hunter tracks the prey's every move.
3. The hunter plans its attack and pounces when the time is right.
4. The hunter never gives up and continues to stalk the prey until it is caught.
5. The hunter is always learning and adapting to its environment.
6. The hunter is patient and waits for the perfect opportunity to strike.
the way these are like a machine learning model are
1. the machine learning model learns about data through observation
2. the machine learning model tracks the data's every move
3. the machine learning model plans its attack and pounces when the time is right
4. the machine learning model never gives up and continues to stalk the data until it is caught
5. the machine learning model is always learning and adapting to its environment
6. The machine learning model is patient and waits for the perfect opportunity to strike
the machine learning model strikes by outputting predictions, and predictions are based on the data that was input into the model.

what is back propagation

The process of back propagation is like a hunter tracking their prey. They follow the tracks left behind, and eventually they catch up to the animal. this is an analogy for how back propagation works, following the path of the error until it is eventually corrected. the error is the prey, and the algorithm is the hunter. it is corrected by finding the error and then adjusting the weights accordingly. and it was known there was an error because the output was not what was expected. this is like hunting because the hunter knows there was an animal there, because they found tracks. and they know how to track the animal, because they have experience with it. this is like back propagation, because it knows there was an error, because the output was not what was expected. and it knows how to find the error and correct it, because it has been trained on how to do so.

What is the actor critic training model?


Imagine you are a deer, and the forest is your environment. You have to find food and avoid predators. You are constantly trying to figure out the best way to do this by trial and error.
The hunters are the algorithms that are trying to learn how to best find and capture you. They start off by randomly exploring the forest, trying different methods of hunting. Some of these methods may work better than others, but the hunters don't know which ones are the best until they try them out.
As the hunters keep trying different things, they gradually get better at finding and capturing you. They learn from their mistakes and figure out what works and what doesn't. This is how actor critic training works: the algorithms learn by trial and error, constantly improving as they go along.

Machine learning is similar to hunting

in that both involve the use of data to find patterns. In machine learning, data is used to find patterns in order to make predictions. In hunting, data is used to find patterns in order to find prey.
how prey and data are similar:
1. Prey and data both have patterns that can be analyzed in order to find them.
2. Both prey and data can be difficult to find if their patterns are not known.
3. Once their patterns are known, both prey and data can be found more easily.
4. The more data that is available, the easier it is to find patterns.
5. The more prey that is available, the easier it is to find them.

A stochastic model is a model that generates random outcomes.
When hunting sometimes it seems like picking a random path and hoping to encounter prey would work, and sometimes it does. The way this methodology is used in machine learning is by taking a dataset and randomly picking points, then randomly selecting features to build a model with. This methodology can work, but usually produces sub-optimal results. It would be like if a hunter only ever used a shotgun and never bothered to learn about the animal they were hunting or the environment they were in.

A KNN Classifier is a machine learning algorithm that is used to predict the class of an example based on its neighbors.
In hunting, this would be analogous to using the tracks of an animal to predict where it is going. The classifier looks at the tracks of the animals around it and makes a prediction based on which way the majority of the tracks are going.

BERT is a machine learning algorithm that is used for natural language processing.
In hunting, this would be analogous to using various calls to communicate with the prey. The algorithm allows the hunter to make various sounds that the prey may respond to, in order to attract them. The B in BERT stands for bidirectional, meaning that the algorithm can take into account the context of the situation in order to make a better prediction. The E in BERT stands for encoder, meaning that the algorithm is able to encode the information it receives. The R in BERT stands for representation, meaning that the algorithm represents the information it receives in a way that is easy for it to understand. The T in BERT stands for transformer, meaning that the algorithm is able to transform the information it receives into a form that is more useful.

A transformer in the hunting context would be something like a decoy.
A decoy functions by being a visual representation of the prey that the prey is attracted to. The decoy is used to lure the prey closer to the hunter so that they can be killed.

An encoder in the hunting context would be something that is used to make the hunter's calls more effective.
The encoder takes the hunter's calls and amplifies them so that they can be heard by the prey from further away.

A representation in the hunting context would be something that is used to make the hunter's calls more understandable to the prey.
The representation translates the hunter's calls into a form that the prey can understand.

Bidirectional in the hunting context would be something that is used to make the hunter's calls more effective.
The bidirectional system takes into account the direction that the prey is coming from and the direction that the hunter is calling from, in order to make the hunter's calls more likely to be heard by the prey.
