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

Up to this point, we have explored Python with the NumPy, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, pandas, and Matplotlib libraries. More platforms and libraries will be used in this book. In the months and years to come, even more languages, libraries, frameworks, and platforms will appear on the market.

However, AI is not only about development techniques. Building a k-means clustering program from scratch requires careful planning. The program relies on data that is rarely available as we expect it. That's where our imagination comes in handy to find the right features for our datasets.

Once the dataset has been defined, poor conditioning can compromise the project. Some small changes in the data will lead to incorrect results.

Preparing the training dataset from scratch takes much more time than we would initially expect. AI was designed to make life easier, but that's after a project has been successfully implemented. The problem is that building...
