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.

Understanding innovation and disruption in AI

The first question we must ask ourselves when starting a project such as a translation solution is to find out where we fit in. Is what we are going to do an invention or an innovation? Is our work disruptive or revolutionary? We will explore these concepts in this chapter to understand the broad pragmatic picture before going any further.

Is AI disruptive?

The word "disruptive" is more often than not associated with artificial intelligence. Media hype tells us that AI robots will soon have replaced humans around the world. Although media hype made it much easier to obtain AI budgets, we need to know where we stand if we want to implement an AI solution. If we want to innovate, we need to find the cutting edge and build new ideas from there.

Why not just plunge into the tools and see what happens? Is that a good idea or a risky one? Unlike corporations with huge budgets, a single human has limited resources. If you...
