By: Dr. Joshua Eckroth

Overview of this book

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the newest technology that’s being employed among varied businesses, industries, and sectors. Python Artificial Intelligence Projects for Beginners demonstrates AI projects in Python, covering modern techniques that make up the world of Artificial Intelligence. This book begins with helping you to build your first prediction model using the popular Python library, scikit-learn. You will understand how to build a classifier using an effective machine learning technique, random forest, and decision trees. With exciting projects on predicting bird species, analyzing student performance data, song genre identification, and spam detection, you will learn the fundamentals and various algorithms and techniques that foster the development of these smart applications. In the concluding chapters, you will also understand deep learning and neural network mechanisms through these projects with the help of the Keras library. By the end of this book, you will be confident in building your own AI projects with Python and be ready to take on more advanced projects as you progress

Chapter 1. Building Your Own Prediction Models

Our society is more technologically advanced than ever. Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is already spreading throughout the world, replicating humankind. The intention of creating machines that could emulate aspects of human intelligence such as reasoning, learning, and problem solving gave birth to the development of AI technology. AI truly rivals human nature. In other words, AI makes a machine think and behave like a human. An example that can best demonstrate the power of this technology would be the tag suggestions or face-recognition feature of Facebook. Looking at the tremendous impact of this technology on today's world, AI will definitely become one of the greatest technologies out there in the coming years.

We are going to be experimenting with a project based on AI technology, exploring classification using machine learning algorithms along with the Python programming language. We will also explore a few examples for a better understanding.

In this chapter, we are going to explore the following interesting topics:

  • An overview of the classification technique
  • The Python scikit library
