Artificial Intelligence By Example

Think like a Machine

The first chapter described a reinforcement learning algorithm through the Q action-value function used by DQN. The agent was a driver. You are at the heart of DeepMind's approach to AI.

DeepMind is no doubt one of the world leaders in applied artificial intelligence. Scientific, mathematical, and applications research drives its strategy.

DeepMind was founded in 2010, was acquired by Google in 2014, and is now part of Alphabet, a collection of companies that includes Google.

One of the focuses of DeepMind is on reinforcement learning. They came up with an innovate version of reinforcement learning called DQN and referring to deep neural networks using the Q function (Bellman's equation). A seminal article published in February 2015 in Nature (see the link at the end of the chapter) shows how DQN outperformed other artificial intelligence research...

Designing datasets – where the dream stops and the hard work begins

As in the previous chapter, bear in mind that a real-life project goes through a three-dimensional method in some form or the other. First, it's important to just think and talk about the problem to solve without jumping onto a laptop. Once that is done, bear in mind that the foundation of machine learning and deep learning relies on mathematics. Finally, once the problem has been discussed and mathematically represented, it is time to develop the solution.

First, think of a problem in natural language. Then, make a mathematical description of a problem. Only then, start the software implementation.

Logistic activation functions and classifiers

Now that the value of each location of L={l1,l2,l3,l4,l5,l6} contains its availability in a vector, the locations can be sorted from the most available to least available location. From there, the reward matrix for the MDP process described in the first chapter can be built.

Overall architecture

At this point, the overall architecture contains two main components:

  • Chapter 1: Become an Adaptive Thinker: A reinforcement learning program based on the value-action Q function using a reward matrix that is yet to be calculated. The reward matrix was given in the first chapter, but in real life, you'll often have to build it from scratch. This could take weeks to obtain.
  • Chapter...

Summary

Using a McCulloch-Pitts neuron with a logistic activation function in a one-layer network to build a reward matrix for reinforcement learning shows how to build real-life applications with AI technology.

Processing real-life data often requires a generalization of a logistic sigmoid function through a softmax function, and a one-hot function applied to logits to encode the data.

This shows that machine learning functions are tools that must be understood to be able to use all or parts of them to solve a problem. With this practical approach to artificial intelligence, a whole world of projects awaits you.

You can already use these first two chapters to present powerful trajectory models such as Amazon warehouses and deliveries to your team or customers. Furthermore, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Netflix, and many others are growing their data centers as we speak. Each data...

Description

Artificial intelligence has the potential to replicate humans in every field. Artificial Intelligence By Example serves as a starting point for you to understand how AI is built, with the help of intriguing examples and case studies. Artificial Intelligence By Example will make you an adaptive thinker and help you apply concepts to real-life scenarios. Using some of the most interesting AI examples, right from a simple chess engine to a cognitive chatbot, 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 IoT, and develop emotional quotient in chatbots using neural networks. You will move on to designing AI solutions in a simple manner rather than get confused by complex architectures and techniques. This comprehensive guide will be a starter kit for you to develop AI applications on your own. By the end of this book, you will have understood the fundamentals of AI and worked through a number of case studies that will help you develop your business vision.

Who is this book for?

Artificial Intelligence by Example is a simple, explanatory, and descriptive guide for junior developers, experienced developers, technology consultants, and those interested in AI who want to understand the fundamentals of artificial intelligence and implement it practically by devising smart solutions. Prior experience with Python and statistical knowledge is essential to make the most out of this book.

I was looking for a "one stop" resource for AI. Once you start looking for AI learning online, you're overwhelmed with non-stop content, some of it is good and a lot of it isn't. Denis in this book has managed to strike the right balance of separating hype from reality. With no nonsense language, he builds up a picture of AI and its uses together with practical examples that you can set up in Virtual Machines. If you're looking for a straightforward learning resource for AI, this is it! Highly recommended!

AI by Example is a very readable book. Though he does not cover all AI topics (which is not it's intent), the author does a very good job at guiding the reader through "how to think about AI" by, of course, using examples. For each subject area, the author explains the conceptual, mathematical and implementation viewpoints in an easy to understand manner. As such, the author acts as a teacher who communicates through readable and accessible discourse. I would say the book is a good book for beginners who want to get started in understanding and coding some common AI algorithms, and early career AI engineers who want to sharpen how they think about AI in abstract and practical ways.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
