The ideas to retain
1. The General Framework: AI, ML, DL and GenAI
An effective way to visualize the hierarchy is the following:
2. How do these systems learn?
These are not types of models, but different ways of constructing the learning signal: in other words, what kind of teacher we use.
3. How these systems are adjusted
Knowing where the signal that makes a system learn comes from (supervised / self-supervised / RL) is not enough.
