The Artificial Intelligence in a Nutshell: A brief introduction to Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Neural Networks, Deep Learning, and Robots

by Martin Spano

In 2012, two postgraduate students from the University of Toronto entered the major image recognition competition. Inspired by their university supervisor, they came up with the exotic idea of using a multilayered artificial neural network called deep neural network and devastated all competitors. These events gave birth to a new, unprecedented boom in artificial intelligence. Seven years later and artificial intelligence is omnipresent in our everyday life without us even noticing.

In this book, you will find out …
… why there so much talk about artificial intelligence these days
… what is artificial intelligence, machine learning, neural networks, deep learning, and robots
… what is the ancient, medieval and modern history of artificial intelligence
… how artificial intelligence influences your daily life to the point, we cannot live without it anymore
… how artificial intelligence affects governments, military, healthcare, automotive and finance
… what are the job opportunities and the average salary of a professional working with artificial intelligence

And much more.

3 hviezdicky a je to uplne v poriadku na takuto knihu, ako vravia - I like it.

Kazda kapitola zacina kratkym pribehom dotykajucim sa temy, ktoru autor dalej v kapitole rozpise. Ozivuje to text a kniha posobi menej fadne. Cielovka je jasna - knihu by si pokojne mohol precitat aj murar-casnik a nemal by pocit, ze je tam nanho privela odbornych informacii - tie tam totiz ani nie su. Celkovo je kniha fajn, len skoda, ze jej nie je viac a ze nejde viac do hlbky, ale aj taku autor slubuje

I expected much more than a few words will be devoted to machine learning, deep learning and neural networks. It was meant to be high level, but I think it was a little too high level...

Easy to read and to understand for someone, who doesn't have a clue about AI. Very well written stories and examples, which explain certain phenomena. Very inspirative. Highly recommendable.

There are surely better books out there, but this book has definitely its place as an intro to the subject.
