Learn AI Series (#4) - Your First Prediction - No Math, Just Intuition What will I learn You will learn that the average is already a model -- the simplest prediction you can make; why "predict the average" minimizes a specific kind of error; the nearest neighbor approach -- predicting based on similarity; how to build a tiny predictor from scratch with real data; the concept of error -- measuring how wrong your predictions are; why feature scaling matters when computing distances; that you've been doing machine learning this whole time, without any formulas. Requirements A working modern computer running macOS, Windows or Ubuntu; An installed Python 3(.11+) distribution; The ambition to learn AI and machine learning. Difficulty Beginner Curriculum (of the Learn AI Series): Learn AI Series (#1) - What Machine Learning Actually Is Learn AI Series (#2) - Setting Up Your AI Workbench - Python and NumPy Learn AI Series (#3) - Your Data Is Just Numbers - How Machines See the World Learn AI
