Certified - Advanced AI Audio Course ·

2025/09/14

This episode explains embeddings, numerical representations of text, images, or other data that capture semantic meaning. Embeddings allow AI systems to compare similarity and retrieve related items based on meaning rather than exact matches. For example, “doctor” and “physician” will have vectors located close together in embedding space. Vector databases are specialized systems for storing and searching these embeddings efficiently, supporting large-scale applications like semantic

2025/09/14

This episode introduces retrieval-augmented generation, or RAG, a method of enhancing large language models by grounding them in external data sources. Instead of relying solely on a model’s internal training, RAG retrieves relevant documents or records and provides them as context during generation. This improves factual accuracy, reduces hallucinations, and enables customization with proprietary information. For certification exams, learners should recognize RAG as a practical solution

2025/09/14

This episode examines prompting, the method of steering model outputs with well-designed instructions. For certification purposes, prompting fundamentals matter because exams often test whether learners can identify effective approaches or troubleshoot poor results. Prompts provide context, structure, and examples that guide a model toward desired answers. Core techniques include zero-shot prompting, where the task is described without examples, and few-shot prompting, where demonstrations

2025/09/14

This episode introduces transformers, the architecture that underpins nearly all state-of-the-art AI systems today. Instead of relying on recurrent layers or convolutional patterns, transformers leverage the mechanism of attention to weigh relationships between tokens in a sequence. At a high level, attention allows the model to determine which parts of the input are most relevant for predicting the next output, enabling parallel processing of entire sequences rather than step-by-step

Certified - Advanced AI Audio Course ·

2025/09/14

This episode explains overfitting, one of the most important pitfalls in machine learning. Overfitting occurs when a model memorizes training data so closely that it fails to generalize to new, unseen cases. The opposite issue, underfitting, arises when a model is too simple to capture the underlying patterns. Generalization refers to the model’s ability to perform well on fresh data rather than just the training set. Certification exams frequently test recognition of these concepts, often

2025/09/14

This episode addresses model evaluation, a core competency for certification exams. While accuracy is the simplest metric, it is not always sufficient, especially when dealing with imbalanced datasets. Precision and recall provide a deeper view: precision measures how many predicted positives are correct, while recall measures how many actual positives are captured. The balance between the two is often summarized with the F1 score. AUC, or area under the receiver operating characteristic

This episode introduces reinforcement learning, often considered the third major paradigm of machine learning. Unlike supervised and unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning is based on an agent interacting with an environment, making decisions, and receiving feedback through rewards or penalties. Over time, the agent learns a policy that maximizes cumulative reward, balancing exploration of new strategies with exploitation of successful ones. Core concepts include states, actions,
