Episode 24 - Modeling & Training Explained — How AI Actually Learns (Part 3 of 5)

from AI Made Simple · host Saral Gupta

In Episode 22, we explored training data—the foundation of machine learning.In Episode 23, we transformed that data into meaningful signals through feature engineering.Now in Episode 24, we take the next step:How does AI actually learn from those signals?In this episode of AI Made Simple, we break down modeling and training—the core of how machine learning systems work. We explain how models learn patterns, what loss functions are, and why concepts like overfitting and generalization are critical in real-world systems.We also cover:The learning loop and how models improveLoss functions and optimization (simplified)Overfitting vs generalizationTypes of models and real-world trade-offsTraining pipelines and continuous learningThis is Part 3 of the series. Next, we’ll cover experimentation—how companies evaluate models and decide what actually works.

AI Erik's Podcast Audio Erik Conn The AI News Podcast where we talk AI. CISO Perspectives (public) N2K Networks This season on CISO Perspectives, host Kim Jones explores some of the challenges of leading through uncertainty. We explore the complexity of the changing nature of regulation and working with the federal government, the evolution of privacy and fraud, and how emerging technologies like AI and quantum computing are changing cyber. When you don’t know what questions to ask, you’re afraid to ask, or don’t know who to ask, CISO Perspectives provides the foundation for learning in this brave new world. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
