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.

Optimizing Blockchains with Naive Bayes

In this three-part chapter, we will use blockchains to optimize a supply chain using naive Bayes. To achieve this goal, we will first start by understanding how a blockchain is generated using cryptocurrency as an example.

Blockchains have entered corporations and are here to stay. Hundreds of major corporations have implemented IBM Hyperledger. Suppliers of these corporations will gradually join the network. Corporate blockchains will provide work for many years to come thanks to the millions of lines of code to update with new features and maintain.

Mining cryptocurrency represents the most known use of blockchains. Cryptocurrencies are growing around the world. This chapter starts by explaining how the mining aspect of blockchains works, using bitcoins as an example.

We will then move on and analyze how to use blockchains for a different purpose than generating cryptocurrency. Corporations use blockchains to record...
