An AI model is a program that learns from data and makes predictions.

Training data โ†’ Learning โ†’ Predictions

Model Components

# Dataset
dataset = [
    {"input": "Great product!", "output": "positive"},
    {"input": "Terrible quality", "output": "negative"},
    {"input": "Nothing special",  "output": "neutral"},
]

# Training
model.train(dataset)

# Prediction
label = model.predict("Awesome item!")  # "positive"

Key Metrics

Accuracy โ€” percentage of correct answers:

accuracy = correct / total          # 85 / 100 = 0.85 โ†’ 85%

Loss โ€” average error:

loss = sum(abs(pred - real) for pred, real in zip(preds, actuals)) / len(preds)

Dataset size and expected accuracy:
| Size | Expected accuracy |
|------|------------------|
| < 1,000 | ~65% |
| 1,000โ€“5,000 | ~80% |
| 5,000โ€“10,000 | ~90% |
| > 10,000 | ~95%+ |

Model Types

Type Task Example
Classification Assign a category Spam / not spam
Regression Predict a number House price
Generation Create content Text, code, image

Overfitting vs Underfitting

def check_fit(train_acc, test_acc):
    if train_acc < 0.7 and test_acc < 0.7:
        return "Underfitting โ€” model is weak, needs more data"
    if train_acc > 0.9 and test_acc < 0.7:
        return "Overfitting โ€” model memorized data, needs regularization"
    return "Good Fit"

check_fit(0.95, 0.60)  # Overfitting
check_fit(0.65, 0.63)  # Underfitting
check_fit(0.88, 0.85)  # Good Fit

Lifecycle

1. Collect data    โ†’ gather / label examples
2. Train           โ†’ model.fit(X_train, y_train)
3. Evaluate        โ†’ model.evaluate(X_test, y_test)
4. Improve         โ†’ more data / hyperparameter tuning
5. Deploy          โ†’ API / service for users

Practical Tips

  • Split dataset: 80% train / 20% test
  • Track both metrics: high train acc + low test acc = overfitting
  • Start simple: baseline model โ†’ evaluate โ†’ improve
  • Quality over quantity: 1,000 clean examples beat 10,000 noisy ones
