The Applied Artificial Intelligence Workshop

By: Anthony So, William So, Zsolt Nagy

Overview of this book

You already know that artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are present in many of the tools you use in your daily routine. But do you want to be able to create your own AI and ML models and develop your skills in these domains to kickstart your AI career? The Applied Artificial Intelligence Workshop gets you started with applying AI with the help of practical exercises and useful examples, all put together cleverly to help you gain the skills to transform your career. The book begins by teaching you how to predict outcomes using regression. You will then learn how to classify data using techniques such as k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and support vector machine (SVM) classifiers. As you progress, you’ll explore various decision trees by learning how to build a reliable decision tree model that can help your company find cars that clients are likely to buy. The final chapters will introduce you to deep learning and neural networks. Through various activities, such as predicting stock prices and recognizing handwritten digits, you’ll learn how to train and implement convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs). By the end of this applied AI book, you’ll have learned how to predict outcomes and train neural networks and be able to use various techniques to develop AI and ML models.

Preface

1. Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

Overview

In this chapter, you will be introduced to the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which are the foundations of various fields of AI. You will also come across different algorithms, including MinMax and A*, through simple coding exercises using the Python programming language. You will also be implementing your first AI through a simple tic-tac-toe game where you will be teaching the program how to win against a human player. By the end of this chapter, you will learn how to use popular Python libraries to develop intelligent AI-driven programs.
