Maths in Computer Science. What I wish I knew before starting university, part 2
Machine Learning and by extension artificial intelligence has so many applications that this blog-post could be a dictionary, it can be used to help us solve abstract problems like helping healthcare providers to treat patients, to speech recognition (in fact, if you own an Alexa, Google Home, or even a normal smart-phone, you’ve probably experienced speech recognition in your day-to-day life!)
The basis of all artificial intelligence and machine learning is treating things like probabilities. Understanding the basics of how to use probabilities can be incredibly useful when you’re doing more detailed machine learning and artificial intelligence later on in your course.
To get a refresher, I’d recommend looking at the university MASH (Mathematics and Statistics Help) refresher for Probability 1 and Probability 2
It may seem strange, but understanding things like probability of dice rolls, means you can understand things like object detection and deeper machine learning concepts!
