Artificial Intelligence for Big Data

Overview of this book

In this age of big data, companies have larger amount of consumer data than ever before, far more than what the current technologies can ever hope to keep up with. However, Artificial Intelligence closes the gap by moving past human limitations in order to analyze data. With the help of Artificial Intelligence for big data, you will learn to use Machine Learning algorithms such as k-means, SVM, RBF, and regression to perform advanced data analysis. You will understand the current status of Machine and Deep Learning techniques to work on Genetic and Neuro-Fuzzy algorithms. In addition, you will explore how to develop Artificial Intelligence algorithms to learn from data, why they are necessary, and how they can help solve real-world problems. By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to implement various Artificial Intelligence algorithms for your big data systems and integrate them into your product offerings such as reinforcement learning, natural language processing, image recognition, genetic algorithms, and fuzzy logic systems.

Singular value decomposition


As we have seen in the previous section, reducing the dimensions of the datasets increases the efficiency of the model generation, without sacrificing the amount of knowledge contained in the data. As a result, the data is compressed and easy to visualize in fewer dimensions. SVD is a fundamental mathematical tool that can be easily leveraged for dimensionality reduction.

Matrix theory and linear algebra overview

Before we try to understand SVD, here is a quick overview of linear algebra and matrix theory concepts. Although a comprehensive discussion on these topics is outside the scope of this book, a brief discussion is definitely in order:

  • Scalar: A single number is termed a scalar. A scalar represents the magnitude of an entity. For example, the speed of a car is 60 miles/hour. Here, the number 60 is a scalar. 
  • Vectors: An array of multiple scalars arranged in an order is called a vector. Typically, vectors define magnitude as well as direction, and are considered...
