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.

Neuromorphic Computing

Our brain activates thousands or even billions of neurons when necessary, getting our body battle-ready to face any situation. As we saw in Chapter 17, Genetic Algorithms in Hybrid Neural Networks, evolution has fined-tuned biological capacities over thousands of generations and millions of years.

In this chapter, we will take a deeper look into the cognitive power inside our bodies. We will go from the chromosomes of the previous chapter to biological neurons that make us intelligent creatures. The neurons interact in billions of ways producing cognitive patterns leading to mind structures.

Neuromorphic computing taps into the tremendous optimized power of our brain, which surprisingly consumes very little energy. On average, we consume a few watts, less than a lightbulb, to solve very complex problems. In itself, this shows that the neuronal structure of our brain has a unique architecture that we have yet to reproduce physically.
