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.

Planning and scheduling today and tomorrow

When Amazon decided to launch Prime Wardrobe, it brought a new service to its customers, enabling them to order, try out, and purchase clothing, shoes, and other accessories. The customer can establish a purchase plan. A purchase plan is a list of tasks to be carried out in a given time. An example of a purchase plan could be:

  • Filling a box with clothing
  • Trying on the clothing at home
  • Returning the clothing if it does not fit
  • Purchasing the items that are kept

Once the customer agrees to follow this plan, the time sequence becomes crucial:

  • First, a box must be chosen.
  • Then, there is a delivery period.
  • Then, there is a trial period (you cannot try the products forever). During this period, the customer can choose not to purchase anything.
  • Finally, the customer confirms the purchase.

Irrespective of whether Amazon Prime Wardrobe will remain a service in years to...
