About This Class

AI product development is a rising trend. More and more products involve machine learning aspects and data-driven algorithms

The world of AI is a little bit different from the software engineering world and the AI product creation and product management needs a new kind of mindset and skills. This is something that has not yet been standardized - everyone does it in their own way.

In this introductory course, we will go over

  • What AI?
  • How AI development differs from software engineering development?
  • What are the products you can find AI in?

Join Liisi and Kristin to find out more about the AI world and the world of new innovative products.

1. Introduction: Hey guys, hi, Welcome to the AI product management course. In this course, we will learn about ALL product development. If you are excited about the whole new technologies that consists of machine learning, data science, and different ai aspects than common joined to learn how to create those products. For example, self-driving cars, automating processes, suggestion marketing really well with using the data. In this course, we will be talking about comparing AI software development processes. We will learn what you need to know before you start any other AI product development. And we will also look into different products you have in your life all around you. I'm lazy. I have been working for many years with data, data analytics, data science, and the pass-through years being the AI product management for very wary out to meet the verification process. And I'm really passionate about this topic. And I'm Kristen, I have been working with data for five years, mostly as a data scientist, but also as a data analyst. And they thought team lead. Come and join our course. See you there. Bye. 2. What is AI?: Today AR predicament management course. In this course we will talk about what product management for HIEs, how the development process looks like. We will specify how the AI development is different from the regular software engineering development and what you should take into consideration and started to build a new product. In the first lesson, we will cover the general topic, often the product, what is it? What is their product and how it is different from software engineering project, how the development processes differ from each other. Additionally, we will bring out some key questions and ideas you have to consider when developing a product that has AI component, meaning. Your teachers are Christine and Lizzie. They both have been working in data science for all we can use. And specific key or machine learning out to me. So let's start with the course. So what is DAI? Lot of people think that a sum computer making all decisions by themselves. But in reality, it is far different from me. At least the reality we see in our everyday life. Just means that we want to build a machine, that human life. There is no definition of how human life and machine has to be to be an EI. There are two kinds of anions. Narrowing, which means that the a is meant to do specific tasks. And there is generally Mania, means that the AI, everything that the EIS like from the Terminator movie, that it knows itself, how to make and how to basically grow their knowledge. And generally yard is not something that is used today in the product making. In this course, we also focused on narrow AI because narrowing the ER that everybody is working today. One of the ways artificially intelligent has described also touring, Determining, create the determined this. And it's also known as mutation came in 1950s. The test was created to understand if she has an intelligent behavior as acumen. Turing was a mathematician during the Second World War and help to two coordinates you can, like I said before, Turing test is a test to see if machine. How did you Arrington works? It consists of three components. A, Computer, B's, a human, is a guest. The test only is done written form of communication, meaning that a and B can only communicate with rewrite with the participant. Test is a success. If the gesso does not understand that there is no human can differentiate. B. Also, note that the communication is always done on a grid structure. The machine is counted as intelligent, difficult. So kind of differentiate between a and B. We have to take into account that the complexity of the task can be really, really different. But in the case of a really simple task is fairly easy to clinical acumen, even though you might be machine. In the case when we are automating any process, we are playing good indication. Those processes are where we tried to replace repetitive human birth with computer making to make sure and get the real experience with the product you give them. We can take into account, for example, costumer. The customer ensures that most of the times can answer really simple question. If you ask them simple Christians, they can really easily act like a human. If you ask them new bit harder questions. They cannot. In our case, a lot of the times the scene also placed the client rolled. So like we said before, the customer, for example, the client wants decline. Whether there's computer or a human behind the wall or automating the process is like trying to fulfill the attorney. As of today, no computer has passed the Turing test. People who have joined. One of the methods is using coefficient, using artificial intelligence. This is what we will be. 3. AI Development process: Now we will talk about AI development processes. Now that we understand what AI broadly means, we have a lot of other terms that need to be explained that often get mixed up. While they are usually means something that is human-like. Machine learning, data science and deep learning are all techniques to work with data and get amazing results from there. Let's go over the terms, as they might be confusing and are used loosely in our everyday life. Machine learning is a branch of computer science that works with algorithms that try to improve themselves based on the data and repetitive experiences. Those algorithms are usually referred to as a model. And models are just different ways that data can be analyzed and trained. Deep learning is basically still machine learning. It is using very specific type of models that require a lot of processing power, a lot of data, and a lot of time to learn to get the needed outcome. The dusk these models are solving are not simple and use deep neural networks to do with the computations. Then we have data science, which works also with data. But the aim is to get the knowledge and information out of the data, the great value, basically, data science uses different methods to get valuable information out of data. A lot of BI desks or data science tasks. We've talked about AI, machine learning and data science. But probably you are also guessing where it's software engineering. How is it all combined? Most people in IT are really aware of creating software products and they know how software development works. There are multiple different components that need to be developed, merged, and created in order to have one function is software product. These components, components can be in front-end or back-end. There is probably someone dealing with databases and logs and alerts and some other people dealing with servers and DevOps components and issues. All these parts are in the world of software engineering and they are quite obvious when you need to work on anything. You have a goal and you know what you need to do in order to achieve this goal. The whole traditional development cycle is also known. Most of the project managers and most programmers are used to their regular development and its cycle. It's some sorts of adaptation of Agile or waterfall methodology. But let's go over it so we can start comparing it today AI development cycle. At first, when you decide to do a project, you start gathering requirements. This is a step where you try to understand what you should be building. What is the thing we need to do? What are the problems to customers or users have? This step includes a lot of time and communication with many stakeholders. In the next step, you do the analysis and designs to understand how to make the requirements work, what the solution could be, what obstacles you need to avoid and pre-existing. Pre-existing solutions are available to use. Within this step, each corner case of the product and its usability has to be well thought through, is rarely perfect. Humans are humans and they make mistakes. And that's why we have testers and maintenance. Development starts after the analysis is done based on the UI designs, architecture, and process models to designers and analysts have created. After the development is done your test. Sometimes you might need to go back and need to fix something. In that phase, some things are sent back to development and some are approved for lunch. If everything gets approved by testers, the feature or the MEP product can be deployed and proceed into the maintenance mode. But let's talk about how we're development looks like. The beginning of a component development is really similar to the regular software development. It must have an idea that you want to achieve. And based on that, you must start gathering requirements and do the analysis. What is the problem you're solving? What do you need the model to do? And in what situations or contexts you want the model to work. For those situations. What sort of data do you need? You have to start thinking about the problem in terms of data, what biases, issues or unpredictability that data caries. Of course, outcome is important, but you have to be able to think from the perspective of data. What data do you have and what data do we need? Let's have a look at an example. Let's imagine you have an awesome idea to start detecting ride-sharing vehicles. Or Texas. You don't care about any other cars, just the ride-sharing companies. You have to understand and define what does it mean for your model. After some analysis, you might stumble up to a problem. Right now, we also have boys do butt and lift and cream and other ride-sharing companies in various different countries that looked like regular car. Do you still want to detect them? You might add the requirement of company logo on a vehicle to your list of data requirements. But you have to accept that some quite high percentage of ride-sharing vehicles will not be detected by your model because you have no way of differentiating those from regular cars. But if you're really determined, you might look into detecting passengers inside of it, bus, drivers and other people sitting in the back. Can this be considered a valuable feature for your ride-sharing detection model? Can you get access to this sort of data? And what do you do if the car windows in the back or tinted? The face of analysis and defining the problem is crucial for the future steps and success of the projects. If you get this wrong, your project might become really, really difficult. For example, you can define the car sharing task in different ways. You can do it globally or only in one specific city. You can agree the digital and traditional taxis and not trying to ride, sharing cars. Or maybe it's okay if you exclude the cars that don't look like taxes, making those small adjustments to your task might make the dusk way more easier or me, way more difficult. After you are happy and content with your requirements, you have to start gathering data. In many cases, you might have to go back and reconsider some of your requirements and define some more key points. When you actually look at the data, you start to notice some things you didn't consider before. For example, let's talk about taxes again. If tax is stowed, do you want the model to detect the taxi? Taxi is not working. Do you want to detect the exit? Then? There are many different questions you have to consider. In software development process, our next step would be development of the feature in their development. This actually means many different steps that need to be done in order to achieve the model. Development process starts with excessive amounts of data gathering. It of course, depends on the outcome and the contexts. But you might need thousands of data points or images, or tens or hundreds of thousands of data points and images. In data acquisition, there are two strategies. You need a lot of data or you need a little bit less, but more quality data. More quality, we mean that there are less mistakes in the data. This data is then prepared an annotated. This means that data is cleaned, put into the right format and place to start the training process. Compared to any other step. This is usually the most time-consuming one. And finally, we have the infamous modelling step. In this step, data scientists are tuning the hyperparameters of selected model. They have to fix the details of the model that influence how well it will learn your data. They try out different versions and choose the best one. Although this step is most known in the machine learning, It's not the most crucial nor the hardest. The snippet gathering step is way harder and longer. And it will also determine if the outcome will be in high-quality. After the model has finished training, it has to possess it. This has to be done on the data that is similar to the real data in the context of where the model is going to work. But it cannot be the same exact date that the model was trained on. In this step, we have multiple metrics to consider and we will explain them in more detail in later in the course. After testing the model needs to be deployed. In this step, we can see the main connection between software development and their development teams. For deployment different. They are models need different than sometimes very resource heavy systems to run in real time or in near real-time. Communication between software, DevOps, and they add development is important because there are various different requirements for from all sides. After the model is deployed. It's awfully working fine and people are using it. We reach the monitoring and maintenance phase that is really similar to the software development, but the reason behind maintenance is vastly different. For software products, you might need to update some systems because in your solution or goat has been graded, it might update looks and feels of a webpage or a product within your design. But when we're talking about AI product maintenance, all updates are usually done because we have newer and maybe better model architecture. We want to use. Or in most cases, the data that we have used so far is not suitable for the environment the model is being used currently. This means that in maintenance phase we usually restart the data gathering and analysis and modelling. Once again, we can say that the model is never 100% ready. It's always in process. Usually the world is changing and also the contexts round where the model is working is changing. Therefore, we need to also do the changes in the model itself. We can say that regular development needs input of a desired outcome sometime for analysis, development and testing, and outcomes should look like the expected results. Ai development, on the other hand, needs data and desired results as input. Then some probably a lot of time and resources to make it work. Where software development most likely currencies you a specific outcome as a result than AI development hopes for a result but cannot currently it. Let's take an example of Google Translate. Google Translate has a program that detects language. Based on this detection, Google knows from what language to translate. The program, the program, the text language is a development part. We can say that this program is then used in a traditional software development component as the program that will do the computations, data science, machine learning models, and AI development can be done separately for many software products, you can have a model that classifies, predicts or detect something. But to reach more people and create real value with a model, it usually has to be put in a software product that people are more comfortable width. We can not do meaningful Ai without the support of classical software engineering. But we do have to acknowledge that they are really different things. 4. Product Examples: Product examples part. In here we will talk about different places, how AI is inside the product. For example, lot of streaming platforms or online stores where you have your personal account. They are using the data and width data, building ML and data science models to show you what you might like. For example, Netflix, YouTube, all kinds of online store, GoodReads. Google. Even when you do Google search tries to guess what you would like. This is an AI part that recognizes the products you like and tries to find more of that. In this classical software engineering component is the component that shows you the results. Website to online store. And AR is too steep smartness behind it. Another example, It's also recommendation systems or works on both. Facebook. Puts the best pieces to your feed, to what you might be liking, what you might be interested in, what you might be clicking some advertisements. Again, here, an ER is the part that recognizes the products you might like and tries to find more of those. The classical software engineering part is that shows you the results. Next example, Google Home. And this is really interesting because that has three different product pieces. First is the physical product design development. How the production looks like. Does it have a light where it has the microphone, then it has the ARMA part that recognizes your voice and understands the voice commands. So each time it till it's something, each time it tries to understand what you would like to learn or query or get information about. The classical software engineering part is the part that takes the from the AEI and turns on the musical tells you what the theories are basically. After understanding what you want, telling you the piece, what do you want to hear? Another example says Jeff, driving car and its product pieces. Here we have also the physical part to product design and development. Where are the sensors, how to predict looks like? Then we have the AI part that recognizes the streets, the movements, understands where people are, understands where other cars are. And then we have a classical software engineering part that controls the car based on the AEI. So for example, if we see that a person is phone front of the car, AI recognizes that there is a person in front of the car and the classical software engineering bottle, okay? If there is person in front of the car, we don't put on the gas, but we break. If we see that there is a payment or stop sign, then mitch wine, AI understands that there is a top stop sign. Classical software engineering part tells us that then we stop. Uber. Uber is maybe a little bit different in its product that we do not try to automate something, but we try to estimate how much time it takes you to go from one place to another place or in the background to system twice to guess what driver would be best for you to get quickest to your equation. This classical software engineering part here is the part where you interact, interact with AP order the cab or tear where you want to go or add a credit card details. 5. Conclusion: To conclude, AI is computer's ability to perform tasks that they're usually done by people. Most AI applications and systems work with narrow AI. They can only do one or few tasks at the time. Development and software development are separate and very different things. While analyzing gayo product requirements, you have to do with analysis from the perspective of data. Most tools and apps we use in our everyday life include some sort of a component. And meaningful and useful ai is done by combining AI and traditional development together. In the next lesson, we will discuss deterministic and probabilistic world. Explain it in more detail way I needs constant maintenance and we will go into more details what you need to know to start your first AR project.
