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.

Chapter 7 – Optimizing Blockchains with Naive Bayes

  1. Cryptocurrency is the only use of blockchains today. (Yes | No)

    No. IBM HyperLedger, for example, uses blockchains to organize secure transactions in a supply chain environment.

  2. Mining blockchains can be lucrative. (Yes | No)

    Yes. But it is a risk, like any other mining operation or any speculative endeavor. Some companies have huge resources to mine cryptocurrency, meaning that they can beat smaller competitors in creating a block.

  3. Blockchains for companies cannot be applied to sales. (Yes | No)

    No. Blockchain cloud platforms provide smart contracts and a secure way of managing transactions during a sales process.

  4. Smart contracts for blockchains are more accessible to write than standard offline contracts. (Yes | No)

    Yes, if they are standard contracts, this speeds the transaction up.

    On the other hand, no. If the transaction is...
