About The Book
“Artificial intelligence” requires teaching a computer how to approach different types of problems in a systematic way. The core of AI is the algorithms that the system uses to do things like identifying objects in an image, interpreting the meaning of text, or looking for patterns in data to spot fraud and other anomalies. Mastering the core algorithms for search, image recognition, and other common tasks is essential to building good AI applications
Grokking Artificial Intelligence Algorithms uses illustrations, exercises, and jargon-free explanations to teach fundamental AI concepts.You’ll explore coding challenges like detecting bank fraud, creating artistic masterpieces, and setting a self-driving car in motion. All you need is the algebra you remember from high school math class and beginning programming skills.
What You Will Learn
Use cases for different AI algorithms Intelligent search for decision making Biologically inspired algorithms Machine learning and neural networks Reinforcement learning to build a better robot
This Book Is Written For For software developers with high school–level math skills.
About the Author Rishal Hurbans is a technologist, startup and AI group founder, and international speaker.
an algorithmic introduction to AI targeting developers new to the field. it starts slow with a breadth first survey, then digs deeper towards the end with practical examples. good for basics but ain’t no grokking AI without further reading and coding.
Incredible material presented in a very unique and engaging manner. Initially expected a very different book, but absolutely glad I picked it up and read it. Learned a ton!
The first part of the book about history is simply irrelevant to the topic. The explanation of the algorithms and the examples are not very appealing. There are much better books about AI out there, this one at best only serves a very basic intro.
But, the audiobook version of this book is bad - the narrator skips over exercises, and there are a lot of visualizations in the book that aren't described in the audio.
