Economy Enters Deflation
-
China's economy has slipped into deflation for the first time in over two years
- Consumer prices declining by 0.3% in July compared to a year earlier
- Deflation can lead to a vicious cycle of falling prices, wages, and spending
-
Reasons
- Weaker global demand
- Crackdown on the property market
- Impact of the COVID-19
-
Consequences
- A decrease in corporate profits, which can lead to job cuts and business closures
- A decrease in consumer spending, as people delay purchases in the hope that prices will fall further
- An increase in debt burdens, as the value of debt rises when prices fall
-
Machine Learning
-
Is a process by which computers can learn to perfom tasks without being explicitily programmed to do so
- The process involves feeding algorithms with large amounts of data so that they can gradually improve ther predictive perfomance
- Is based on the idea that data can contain patterns that can be used to predict future outcomes
-
In unpervised learning, the algorithm is given a dataset of unlabeled data
- The algorithm must learn to identify the patterns in the data on its own
-
Applications
- Image recognition
- Speech recognition
- Data mining
- Robotics
- Medical research
- Machine learning is a powerful tool that can be used to automate task and improve decision-making
-
Differences
-
AI
-
Refers to a machine that is made to simulate human consciousness
- For some, the ultimate goal of AI research is to create a sentinent conscious being through programming
- Sometime this is also referred to as artificial general intelligence
- In practice
- Most data scientists are using AI at smaller more practical scale to solve real-world problems
- Data Analysis
- Manufacturing
- Customer service
- The umbrella term for technology that solves problems autonomously by simulating human intelligence
-
How does AI Work
- They do this through algorithms designed to analyze input data and produce an output
- For example, Chatbot
- The input data would be the customer's inquiry and the output would be the answer to the customer's inquiry held within the chatbots database
- Can react to input data in various forms
- For example,
Alexa or
Google Assistant
- With the weather report there are multiple ways that you can phrase that query
- "What's the weather?"
- "What's the temperature?"
- "How's the weather looking?"
- By picking up on certain keywords the virtual assistant can respond to all these different variants
-
Machine Learning
-
Is generally considered to be a subset of AI
- It's pretty common to hear the two terms used interchangeably
- One major difference is that while AI still encompasses the idea of a sentient conscious machine
- Machine learning as a term does not hold those connotations
- So
- AI
- Grand vision of intelligent machines
- Machine learning
- Models
- Processes
- Supporting technology
- That we've been using to get there diving a bit deeper
- Within Machine Learning is another sector kwnon as deep learning
-
Deep Learning
-
Machine learning at the largest scale
- Involving millions of instances of training data and often multi-layered neural networks
-
As computing power and access to training data has increased
- Researches have been able to develop machine learning models on a larger scale
- This lead to the use of this term
-
To fully understand its meaning it's essential to first know a little bit about Neural Networks
- This a collection of algorithms designed to process data and produce an output with the least amount of error
- They are called that because the design of the nodes inputs and outputs which slighly resemble that of neuron in the human brain
-
The key differentiator between machine learning and deep learning is the number of layers of nodes that the input data passes through
- In the past it was limited
-
For example
- If an algorithm is given a dataset of images of cats and dogs, the algorithm can learn to identify the features that distinguish each type of animal
-
Summary

Machine Learning
- At the largest scale with more sophisticated neural networks exponentially larger datasets and stronger computing power supporting it
