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.

PART II – using blockchains to share information in a supply chain

In Part I – the background to blockchain technology, we saw how to use blockchains to mine cryptocurrencies. That prerequisite to entering the world of blockchains having been achieved, this section will show how to use blockchains in a supply chain. This will not involve cryptocurrencies. It opens the path to innovating blockchains with AI.

A supply chain is a chain of production and service that gets a product from a starting point to the consumer. For example, take a roll of fabric (cloth) that is shipped from India to Tunisia. In Tunisia, the fabric is cut into patterns and assembled as clothing. Then the clothing is shipped to France where it is packaged in a box with a brand printed on it. It then goes on to be stored in a warehouse to be shipped to a physical shop or directly to an online customer. We can sum this supply chain up as follows:

Cloth from India -> cut and assembled...
