AI Trends and Coding Tutorials: How to Leverage Open-Source Tools

A.I. is everywhere and has become a critical part of many businesses. The good news is that it's no longer reserved for experts in the field. Industry-leading frameworks like PyTorch and Tensorflow have made it possible for anyone with coding skills to build AI projects. In this blog post, we will show you how to get started quickly with some simple tutorials. We'll also introduce you to some of the latest AI trends and explain how you can use open-source tools to leverage them in your business.

What are some of the open-source tools used for AI?

Some of the most commonly used open-source tools for developing A.I. projects include:

  • PyTorch: an open-source machine learning framework that allows developers to easily create and train neural networks.
  • Tensorflow: another popular open-source machine learning platform that provides a wide range of tools for building and training A.I. models.
  • Pandas: a Python library for data analysis that is often used for pre-processing data for A.I. models.
  • Numpy: a Python library for numerical computing that is often used for working with large datasets.
  • Google Colab: a free online Jupyter notebook service that allows you to easily share and collaborate on A.I. projects.

All these tools have a massive ecosystem behind them with a wealth of online resources, tutorials, and support. They are an excellent starting point for anyone wanting to get started with A.I.

How can I use open-source tools to leverage AI trends?

One of the great things about open-source tools is that they allow you to quickly experiment and prototype new technologies. This means that you can easily leverage the latest AI trends in your projects without having to invest in expensive proprietary software. For example, if you want to experiment with the latest Natural Language Processing (NLP) models, you can simply use one of the many open-source NLP libraries available. This would allow you to quickly test out new ideas and see if they are viable for your business without having to make a large upfront investment.

What programming language should I use?

Most open-source packages are written for Python. As such, Python is an excellent language to use as a starting point for any AI project. More advanced projects may opt to leverage C/C++ to further optimization of the code.

What are some of the latest AI trends

Some of the latest AI trends include:

  • Neural Architecture Search: a technique for automatically designing neural networks that can achieve state-of-the-art performance on a given task.
  • Transfer Learning: a method of using knowledge learned from one task to help improve performance on another related task.
  • Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs): a type of neural network that can generate new data samples that are similar to a training dataset.

These are just a few of the latest trends in AI. By using open-source tools, you can easily experiment with these new technologies and see if they apply to your business.

Do I need to be a Data Scientist to get started in AI?

No, you don't need to be a data scientist to start developing your own A.I. projects. Today's open-source tools have made it possible for anyone with coding skills to get started quickly.

How do I start?

There are lots of ways to learn how to develop A.I. projects. You can find online courses, books, and other resources. But one of the best ways to learn is by doing. And that's where our site leaky.ai comes in. We'll show you how to leverage some of the most popular open-source tools to build your own A.I. projects quickly and easily. To begin we suggest you view the following free hands-on tutorials:

  • How to Build Your First Neural Network - In this free 15-minute tutorial, you will build your first neural network from scratch. No experience is required. You will be developing your project using Python, PyTorch and Google Colab. You will build and train a neural network to mimic a mystery function.
  • Predict Sales Using a Neural Network - Next, tackle this more intermediate tutorial where you will build your own neural network from scratch that can make lemonade sales predictions! You will be using a synthetic dataset to train your network.  You will code the entire project using Python and the popular A.I. library PyTorch completely on your own following the instructor.
  • Hands-On A.I. Programming Course - Finally, if you are hungry for more, why not take a hands-on A.I. programming course?  This is a self-paced hands-on course introducing you to the art of A.I. programming with the popular deep learning A.I. library PyTorch. The course will guide you through step-by-step all the basics of developing real-world A.I. projects including how to curate datasets, build neural networks, training and inference.
