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

Polynomial and Support Vector Regression

When performing a polynomial regression, the relationship between x and y, or using their other names, features, and labels, is not a linear equation, but a polynomial equation. This means that instead of the 29 equation, we can have multiple coefficients and multiple powers of x in the equation.

To make matters even more complicated, we can perform polynomial regression using multiple variables, where each feature may have coefficients multiplying different powers of the feature.

Our task is to find a curve that best fits our dataset. Once polynomial regression is extended to multiple variables, we will learn the SVM model to perform polynomial regression.

Polynomial Regression with One Variable

As a recap, we have performed two types of regression so far:

  • Simple linear regression: 30
  • Multiple linear regression: 31

We will now learn how to do polynomial linear regression with one variable. The equation for polynomial...
