Five machine learning types to know

IBM Journey to AI blog

Many retailers’ e-commerce platforms—including those of IBM, Amazon, Google, Meta and Netflix—rely on artificial neural networks (ANNs) to deliver personalized recommendations. They’re also part of a family of generative learning algorithms that model the input distribution of a given class or/category.

How foundation models and data stores unlock the business potential of generative AI

IBM Journey to AI blog

Foundation models: The driving force behind generative AI Also known as a transformer, a foundation model is an AI algorithm trained on vast amounts of broad data. A foundation model is built on a neural network model architecture to process information much like the human brain does.
