Artificial Intelligence for Big Data

By: Anand Deshpande, Manish Kumar

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.

Fundamentals of neural networks and artificial neural networks


The basic algorithms and mathematical modeling concepts we covered in the last chapter are great when it comes to solving some of the structured and simpler problems. They are simpler compared to what the human brain is easily capable of doing. For instance, when a baby starts to identify objects through various senses (sight, sound, touch, and so on), it learns about those objects based on some fundamental building blocks within the human brain. There is a similar mechanism in all living beings with a difference in the level of sophistication based on the evolution cycle.

A neurological study of the brains of various animals and human beings reveals that the basic building blocks of the brain are neurons. These biological neurons are interconnected with each other and are capable of transmitting signals simultaneously to thousands of connected neurons. It is observed that in the more complex species, such as human beings, the...
