3. Detailed explanation of core algorithm principles, specific operation steps and mathematical model formulas
In this part, we will explain in detail the core algorithm principles, specific operation steps and mathematical model formulas in artificial intelligence and cloud computing.
3.1 Machine learning algorithm
3.1.1 Supervised learning
The goal of supervised learning is to train a model based on a data set containing known input-output pairs so that the model can predict new input data. The main steps of supervised learning include data preprocessing, feature selection, model selection, parameter adjustment and model evaluation. Common supervised learning algorithms include linear regression, logistic regression, support vector machine, decision tree, random forest, etc.
3.1.1.1 Linear regression
Linear regression is a simple supervised learning algorithm that assumes a linear relationship between input and output. The mathematical model of linear regression can be expressed as:
$$ y = \theta_0 + \theta_1x_1 + \theta_2x_2 + \cdots + \theta_nx_n + \epsilon $$
Where $y$ is the output, $x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_n$ are the input features, $\theta_0, \theta_1, \theta_2, \cdots, \theta_n$ are the parameters, and $\epsilon$ is the error. The goal of linear regression is to find the best parameter values by minimizing the Mean Squared Error (MSE):
$$ \min_{\theta_0, \theta_1, \cdots, \theta_n} \frac{1}{m} \sum_{i=1}^{m} (h_{\theta}(x^{(i)}) - y^{(i)})^2 $$
where $m$ is the size of the data set and $h_{\theta}(x^{(i)})$ is the predicted value of the model. Through the gradient descent algorithm, we can gradually update the parameter values until we find the optimal parameter value.
3.1.1.2 Logistic regression
Logistic regression is a supervised learning algorithm for binary classification problems. The mathematical model of logistic regression can be expressed as:
$$ P(y=1|x;\theta) = \sigma(\theta_0 + \theta_1x_1 + \theta_2x_2 + \cdots + \theta_nx_n) $$
Where $y$ is the output, $x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_n$ are input features, $\theta_0, \theta_1, \theta_2, \cdots, \theta_n$ are parameters, $\sigma$ is the sigmoid function. The goal of logistic regression is to find optimal parameter values by maximizing the log-likelihood function:
$$ \max_{\theta_0, \theta_1, \cdots, \theta_n} \sum_{i=1}^{m} [y^{(i)} \log P(y=1|x^{(i)};\theta) + (1 - y^{(i)}) \log (1 - P(y=1|x^{(i)};\theta))] $$
Through the gradient ascent algorithm, we can gradually update the parameter values until we find the optimal parameter value.
3.1.2 Unsupervised learning
The goal of unsupervised learning is to learn patterns from data sets that do not contain known input-output pairs. The main steps of unsupervised learning include data preprocessing, feature selection, model selection, parameter adjustment and model evaluation. Common unsupervised learning algorithms include clustering, principal component analysis, independent component analysis, self-organizing mapping, etc.
3.1.2.1 Clustering
Clustering is an unsupervised learning algorithm for grouping data. The goal of clustering is to divide data points into multiple groups so that the distance between data points within the same group is small and the distance between the same groups is large. Common clustering algorithms include K-means, DBSCAN, AGNES, etc. The mathematical model of K-means algorithm can be expressed as:
$$ \min_{C_1, C_2, \cdots, C_K} \sum_{k=1}^{K} \sum_{x \in C_k} d(x, \mu_k) $$
Among them, $C_1, C_2, \cdots, C_K$ are different groups, and $\mu_k$ is the center of group $k$. By iteratively updating group centers and data point groupings, we can gradually find the best combination.

The main steps of reinforcement learning include state space, action space, reward function, policy and value function. Common reinforcement learning algorithms include Q-learning, deep Q-learning, policy gradient, etc.
3.1.3.1Q-Learning
Q-learning is a reinforcement learning algorithm used to solve the Markov Decision Process (Markov Decision Process, MDP). The goal of Q-learning is to learn a value function $Q(s,a)$ that represents the expected cumulative reward when performing action $a$ in state $s$. The mathematical model of Q-learning can be expressed as:
$$ Q(s,a) \leftarrow Q(s,a) + \alpha [r + \gamma \max_{a'} Q(s',a') - Q(s,a)] $$
where $\alpha$ is the learning rate and $\gamma$ is the discount factor. By iteratively updating $Q(s,a)$, we can gradually find the optimal strategy.

The mathematical model of the convolutional layer can be expressed as:
$$ y_{ij} = \sum_{k=1}^{K} \sum_{l=1}^{L} x_{kl} \cdot w_{ik} \cdot w_{jl} + b_i $$
Where $x_{kl}$ is the pixel value of the input feature map, $w_{ik}$ is the weight of the convolution kernel, $w_{jl}$ is the bias, $y_{ij}$ is the pixel of the output feature map value. By sliding the convolution kernel, we can gradually extract features in the image.
3.2.2 Recurrent Neural Network
Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) is a deep learning algorithm used for natural language processing and sequence data processing tasks. The main structure of RNN includes hidden layer units, gating mechanism and output layer. Hidden layer units are used to store relationships between sequences, gating mechanisms are used to control the flow of information, and output layers are used to generate outputs.
3.2.2.1 Gating mechanism
The mathematical model of the gating mechanism can be expressed as:
$$ \begin{aligned} i_t &= \sigma(W_{ii} x_t + W_{hi} h_{t-1} + b_i) \ f_t &= \sigma(W_{if} x_t + W_{hf} h_{t-1} + b_f) \ o_t &= \sigma(W_{io} x_t + W_{ho} h_{t-1} + b_o) \ g_t &= \tanh(W_{gg} x_t + W_{hg} h_{t-1} + b_g) \ h_t &= i_t \cdot g_t + f_t \cdot h_{t-1} \ \end{aligned} $$
Where $i_t$ is the input gate, $f_t$ is the forgetting gate, $o_t$ is the output gate, $g_t$ is the candidate state, and $h_t$ is the hidden state. Through the gating mechanism, we can gradually control the flow of information.

The self-attention mechanism is used to calculate the relationship between sequences, position coding is used to represent position information in the sequence, and the multi-head attention mechanism is used to implement parallel attention calculations.
3.2.3.1 Self-attention mechanism
The mathematical model of the self-attention mechanism can be expressed as:
$$ \text{Attention}(Q, K, V) = \text{softmax}\left(\frac{QK^T}{\sqrt{d_k}}\right) V $$
Where $Q$ is the query vector, $K$ is the key vector, $V$ is the value vector, and $d_k$ is the dimension of the key vector. Through the self-attention mechanism, we can calculate the relationships in the sequence.
