Machine Learning : Applications

Hello there... it's been a while. In previous post I explained about machine learning and what basically it is and I gave some examples of it. Here in this post I will give some real life examples which uses machine learning algorithms or techniques. So let's begin our journey to the world of Artificial Intelligence(AI).

The machine learning is very powerful tool and it can be good or bad based on the application that they are used for. You might have heard or seen the very famous CBS crime drama television series base on AI named “Person of Interest”. If you not watched this series yet I give a kindly suggestion to start watching it. In this series AI is used for detecting the act of terror and identify the terror plots and people who could be suspects of a potential terror attack. It shows the power of AI as well as machine learning concept. In one of the episode main character(Harold finch) teaches the AI to play chess for improving it’s decision making algorithms (that one is my favorite episode :) that shows the how learning work for machine.

Basically machine learning techniques are used in applications where application need to do some analysis on given data and generates output. This output can be a prediction or something like analytic data which it analyzed before. Something like an AI is analyzing the music and generate the music or it analyzed the data of weather and predict the weather of the days to come..

Real-Time application that uses the machine learning concept are many more and here I’m mentioning some of them.

Image Processing :

In image data there are actually data of pixel. And using machine learning algorithms machine can find the object in image and same goes for live camera feed to detect and trace the object.

Google created a computer vision program called “Deep Dream”. As name suggest that program uses convolutional neural network to find the patterns in the image and create dreamlike image. That doesn’t look much good but it’s still made by program so it is good. It is mainly designed for finding patterns in image and automatically classifies it based on the patterns.

 

ART AND MUSIC :

Music is the art of generating rhythmic sound using object. Just imagine if the machine can generate the music by learning from data provided to it. It will open the door of application in the field of medical science where patients are cured using music.

It was a mere fantasy in the past few decades, but it is not fantasy anymore. Yes you read it right. Google opened an open source project called “MAGENTA” that analyze the music files and generate it’s own music however it is not actually full music but still it is appreciable. The first sample of music is around 90 sec piano melody created by the MAGENTA and was released few month ago . You can listen it using below link.

This is an open project, you can find it at github. So clone and play with it :)

DEFENSE & MILITARY :

Simulation is very useful for modern military training. We can create virtual environment and mimic war situations and others also. Here machine learning concepts are used for carrying out this kind of simulation for better performance. Often you seen in some military based movies or game that drone or other non-pilot gadgets are used in some operations. Now a days ART-base (Automatic target recognition) weapon system are used in military field for finding the target.

ENTERTAINMENT :

Entertainment becomes necessary. TV shows and movies are most entertainment things in

this century. Now think about that a program write script for movies and TV shows. That will look cool and obviously I’m curious too. I think you know about FRIENDS series. After all It is classic 90s comedy hit series ever . Which got 9/10 rating in IMDB You might seen it but do you know that the new friends episodes will release and writer of those episode is a computer with machine learning ability. Yes that is true, Scottish cartoonist Andy Pandy set a bot and feed it with all the scripts of friends so that it can learn or train to write new scripts for friends Reunion. And it has written some episodes more funnier than real-one.

And there is one short science fiction film named “Sunspring”also written by a bot with capability of machine learning along with song lyrics.

ML also used for defense to help preventing cyber attack and to keep watch on network for malicious activity.  

There are many more applications for which ML are used for and it's not end of that. ML will help almost in every field. ML is very deep field like an ocean and we don’t know about what’s waiting under the sea . There is much more things to learn about ML. If you find this one interesting share it ;). see you soon ….
