This book is for Python developers who want to build real-world Artificial Intelligence applications. This book is friendly to Python beginners, but being familiar with Python would be useful to play around with the code. It will also be useful for experienced Python programmers who are looking to use Artificial Intelligence techniques in their existing technology stacks.
What You Will LearnRealize different classification and regression techniquesUnderstand the concept of clustering and how to use it to automatically segment dataSee how to build an intelligent recommender systemUnderstand logic programming and how to use itBuild automatic speech recognition systemsUnderstand the basics of heuristic search and genetic programmingDevelop games using Artificial IntelligenceLearn how reinforcement learning worksDiscover how to build intelligent applications centered on images, text, and time series dataSee how to use deep learning algorithms and build applications based on itIn DetailArtificial Intelligence is becoming increasingly relevant in the modern world where everything is driven by technology and data. It is used extensively across many fields such as search engines, image recognition, robotics, finance, and so on. We will explore various real-world scenarios in this book and you'll learn about various algorithms that can be used to build Artificial Intelligence applications.
During the course of this book, you will find out how to make informed decisions about what algorithms to use in a given context. Starting from the basics of Artificial Intelligence, you will learn how to develop various building blocks using different data mining techniques. You will see how to implement different algorithms to get the best possible results, and will understand how to apply them to real-world scenarios. If you want to add an intelligence layer to any application that's based on images, text, stock market, or some other form of data, this exciting book on Artificial Intelligence will definitely be your guide!
Style and approachThis highly practical book will show you how to implement Artificial Intelligence. The book provides multiple examples enabling you to create smart applications to meet the needs of your organization. In every chapter, we explain an algorithm, implement it, and then build a smart application.
