Fundamentals of GenAI
This section introduces the basic concepts we need to understand when discussing GenAI, starting with an overview of what GenAI is!
What is GenAI?
I’ll begin explaining this topic by focusing on what distinguishes GenAI from the other AI/ML approaches we’ve covered. Think about all of the various algorithms and approaches I’ve described so far throughout this book, and, more specifically, think about the primary goal that was being pursued in each approach. Whether we were using linear regression in scikit-learn to predict a numeric value for some target variable based on its features, logistic regression in XGBoost to implement a binary classifier model or using time-series data to predict the future in TensorFlow, there is one common theme, which is that we were trying to predict or estimate something.
The key concept to understand here is that the output from our various sophisticated models was generally a distinct data point...
