How does machine learn? - Thanu Mohammed, West Bengal

Machine learning employs two techniques: Unsupervised learning finds hidden patterns or intrinsic structures in input data. In contrast, supervised learning trains a model on known input and output data to predict future outputs.

What was the very first programming language? - Brahma Kumar, Surat

Ada Lovelace, a friend of Babbage's, translated a French paper about the Analytical Engine and published, in her notes, how it might do a sequence of calculations, the first computer programme, in 1843.

Lovelace developed the notion of a computer language long before the first computer was constructed. Unfortunately, Lovelace died on November 10, 1852, nearly a century before her notes were unearthed. However, because of her innovative thinking style, she is frequently regarded as the first computer programmer.

How are AI algorithms designed and written? - Varahi Sultan, Hyderabad

Algorithms are typically written in the form of a flowchart or pseudocode. The key to any problem-solving endeavour is to direct your thinking. The most beneficial thing to do is to continually ask yourself, 'What if we did it this way?' Exploring many approaches to an issue might aid in determining the optimal solution.

An algorithm isn't computer code; it's written in plain English and can take the form of a flowchart with shapes and arrows, a numbered list, or pseudocode (a programming language in a language that's not fully functional).

Who is the father of programming? - Angela Mary Joseph, Thiruvananthapuram

Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie (September 9, 1941 – October 12, 2011) was a computer scientist from the United States. He is known as the "Father of Programming." He is most known for developing the C programming language, the Unix operating system and the B programming language with long-time collaborator Ken Thompson.

How does AI predict things? - Annamalai Sinha, Delhi

AI must learn from the past to predict the future. It is referred to as machine learning, which is the process by which an algorithm learns from data rather than being programmed by people.

How do AI and machine learning work? - Shyla Sindu, Chennai

Machine learning uses data and algorithms to mimic human knowledge and improve accuracy.

It uses mathematical data models to help a computer learn without being explicitly programmed. It allows a computer system to continue learning and enhancing itself through experience.
