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.

The public service project

The overall project in this example is to implement a self-driving, home-to-homeless-shelter delivery service:

  • Families at homes have clothing and food they would like to give to others that need them.
  • The self-driving car can be started at a distance and goes to homes and takes the goods to the shelters.
  • The self-driving car does not need to have a base. It can park anywhere, go anywhere, and refuel at service stations with automatic electric recharging.

In this chapter, we will focus on the self-driving car when it has finished a delivery and is looking for a parking lot with a parking space. We will need the information to make decisions.

Some IoT projects plan to put sensors on every parking space and send the information to control centers. The city council finds that too expensive. Instead, the city council has decided to use a more cost-effective solution. A webcam will be installed on all the possible parking lots...
