Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Fundamentals

By: Zsolt Nagy

Overview of this book

Machine learning and neural networks are pillars on which you can build intelligent applications. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Fundamentals begins by introducing you to Python and discussing AI search algorithms. You will cover in-depth mathematical topics, such as regression and classification, illustrated by Python examples. As you make your way through the book, you will progress to advanced AI techniques and concepts, and work on real-life datasets to form decision trees and clusters. You will be introduced to neural networks, a powerful tool based on Moore's law. By the end of this book, you will be confident when it comes to building your own AI applications with your newly acquired skills!

Summary


In this lesson, we have learned what Artificial Intelligence is, as well as its multiple disciplines.

We have seen how AI can be used to enhance or substitute human brainpower, to listen, speak, understand language, store and retrieve information, think, see, and move. Then, we moved on to learn about intelligent agents that act in their environment, solving a problem in a seemingly intelligent way to pursue a previously determined goal. When agents learn, they can learn in a supervised or an unsupervised way. We can use intelligent agents to classify things or make predictions about the future.

We then introduced Python and learned about its role in the field of Artificial Intelligence. We looked at a few important Python libraries for developing intelligent agents and preparing data for agents. As a warm-up, we concluded this lesson with an example, where we used the NumPy library to perform some matrix operations in Python. We also learned how to create a search space for a Tic Tac Toe game. In the next lesson, we will learn how intelligence can be imparted with the help of search space.
