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.

Summary

Using a McCulloch-Pitts neuron with a logistic activation function in a one-layer network to build a reward matrix for reinforcement learning shows one way to preprocess a dataset.

Processing real-life data often requires a generalization of a logistic sigmoid function through a softmax function, and a one-hot function applied to logits to encode the data.

Machine learning functions are tools that must be understood to be able to use all or parts of them to solve a problem. With this practical approach to artificial intelligence, a whole world of projects awaits you.

This neuronal approach is the parent of the multilayer perceptron that will be introduced starting in Chapter 8, Solving the XOR Problem with a Feedforward Neural Network.

This chapter went from an experimental black box machine learning and deep learning to white box implementation. Implementation requires a full understanding of machine learning algorithms that often require fine-tuning.
