| Summary |
With knowledge and information shared by experts, take your first steps towards creating scalable AI algorithms and solutions in Python, through practical exercises and engaging activities Key Features Learn about AI and ML algorithms from the perspective of a seasoned data scientist Get practical experience in ML algorithms, such as regression, tree algorithms, clustering, and more Design neural networks that emulate the human brain Book Description You already know that artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are present in many of the tools you use in your daily routine. But do you want to be able to create your own AI and ML models and develop your skills in these domains to kickstart your AI career? The Applied Artificial Intelligence Workshop gets you started with applying AI with the help of practical exercises and useful examples, all put together cleverly to help you gain the skills to transform your career. The book begins by teaching you how to predict outcomes using regression. You'll then learn how to classify data using techniques such as k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and support vector machine (SVM) classifiers. As you progress, you'll explore various decision trees by learning how to build a reliable decision tree model that can help your company find cars that clients are likely to buy. The final chapters will introduce you to deep learning and neural networks. Through various activities, such as predicting stock prices and recognizing handwritten digits, you'll learn how to train and implement convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs). By the end of this applied AI book, you'll have learned how to predict outcomes and train neural networks and be able to use various techniques to develop AI and ML models. What you will learn Create your first AI game in Python with the minmax algorithm Implement regression techniques to simplify real-world data Experiment with classification techniques to label real-world data Perform predictive analysis in Python using decision trees and random forests Use clustering algorithms to group data without manual support Learn how to use neural networks to process and classify labeled images Who this book is for The Applied Artificial Intelligence Workshop is designed for software developers and data scientists who want to enrich their projects with machine learning. Although you do not need any prior experience in AI, it is recommended that you have knowle ... |
