Artificial Intelligence By Example - Second Edition

By: Denis Rothman

Overview of this book

AI has the potential to replicate humans in every field. Artificial Intelligence By Example, Second Edition serves as a starting point for you to understand how AI is built, with the help of intriguing and exciting examples. This book will make you an adaptive thinker and help you apply concepts to real-world scenarios. Using some of the most interesting AI examples, right from computer programs such as a simple chess engine to cognitive chatbots, 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 Internet of Things (IoT), and develop emotional quotient in chatbots using neural networks such as recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). This edition also has new examples for hybrid neural networks, combining reinforcement learning (RL) and deep learning (DL), chained algorithms, combining unsupervised learning with decision trees, random forests, combining DL and genetic algorithms, conversational user interfaces (CUI) for chatbots, neuromorphic computing, and quantum computing. By the end of this book, you will understand the fundamentals of AI and have worked through a number of examples that will help you develop your AI solutions.

Combining Reinforcement Learning and Deep Learning

Amazon is one of the world's leading e-retailers, with sales over US$ 250 billion. Amazon's e-store sales exceed all of its other activities, such as AWS subscription services (premium, for example), retail third-party seller services, and physical stores.

This chapter focuses on apparel production activity, one of Amazon's markets for which the company recently registered a patent. Prime Wardrobe even offers a try-and-easy-return service. This new activity requires planning and scheduling. Amazon took the matter seriously and registered a patent for an apparel manufacturing system to control the production process of its apparel products.

Artificial intelligence already plays a role in automatic planning and scheduling in the apparel business, from customer orders through to delivery.

Google has successfully combined deep learning and reinforcement learning (Q-learning) in a deep Q-network ...
