Artificial Intelligence By Example

By: Denis Rothman

Overview of this book

Artificial intelligence has the potential to replicate humans in every field. Artificial Intelligence By Example serves as a starting point for you to understand how AI is built, with the help of intriguing examples and case studies. Artificial Intelligence By Example will make you an adaptive thinker and help you apply concepts to real-life scenarios. Using some of the most interesting AI examples, right from a simple chess engine to a cognitive chatbot, you will learn how to tackle the machine you are competing with. You will study some of the most advanced machine learning models, understand how to apply AI to blockchain and IoT, and develop emotional quotient in chatbots using neural networks. You will move on to designing AI solutions in a simple manner rather than get confused by complex architectures and techniques. This comprehensive guide will be a starter kit for you to develop AI applications on your own. By the end of this book, you will have understood the fundamentals of AI and worked through a number of case studies that will help you develop your business vision.

Chapter 1 – Become an Adaptive Thinker

1. Is reinforcement learning memoryless? (Yes | No)

The answer is yes. Reinforcement learning is memoryless. The agent calculates the next state without looking into the past. This is significantly different to humans. Humans rely heavily on memory. A CPU-based reinforcement learning system finds solutions without experience. Human intelligence merely proves that intelligence can solve a problem. No more, no less. An adaptive thinker can then imagine new forms of machine intelligence.

2. Does reinforcement learning use stochastic (random) functions? (Yes | No)

The answer is yes. In the particular Markov Decision Process model, the choices are random. In just two questions, you can see that the Bellman equation is memoryless and makes random decisions. No human reasons like that. Being an adaptive thinker is a leap of faith. You will...
