IA which will learn itself ? Welcome in 2021.

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Nowadays Artificial Intelligence is ubiquitous, from e-learning to ordering a cheeseburger in McDonald. Each of our life aspect is more and more depended form machines. However, machine learning is a long, time-consuming process of manually adding data/data sets into algorithm and training them. But what if IA could learn themselves, rely more on data they collect day by day rather then on data which human being provide ? This kind of AI already exist and there are a few advantages about it.

The first big merit of these is called semi-supervised learning. This is where small amount on labelled data is combined with large amount of unlabelled data, and used to learn IA. It’s like having 20 flavours of ice-creams and saying to AI to name 300 other flavours of ice-cream and categorize them. IA have to thing by itself, try to guess, “taste”. Alexa is an wonderful example of self-learning IA. First of all teaching model was trained on thousands hours of labelled data (in this case speech recordings).Then the model is trained on unlabelled data  to become smart IA which can learn by itself.

The second, very significant step. AI will self-learn based on the users feedback. If AI do not understand your request it may ask about repetition. It detects errors and tries to reformulate request, correcting algorithm at the same time. I’ve already talk with this kind of IA. 5 months ago I called Jeans Louis David (chain of hairdresser salons) to order a visit as I used to it. When I heard the voice of IA in my receiver I was surprised. Nevertheless I didn’t find any difficulties in ordering visit. It took me 3 min to answer all questions which were required, so it shows that IA assistants works and it works pretty well.   

As we can see, IA is more and more independent. In 2021 we will see a growing body of self-learning IA with minimal human intervention. Even though machines still cannot taste ice-creams I think it’s only matter of time and development of IA.
