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...

  • Develop your own method for future AI solutions
  • Acquire advanced AI, machine learning, and deep learning design skills

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.

What you will learn

  • Use adaptive thinking to solve real-life AI case studies
  • Rise beyond being a modern-day factory code worker
  • Acquire advanced AI, machine learning, and deep learning designing skills
  • Learn about cognitive NLP chatbots, quantum computing, and IoT and blockchain technology
  • Understand future AI solutions and adapt quickly to them
  • Develop out-of-the-box thinking to face any challenge the market presents

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.
