Interest in machine learning is exploding worldwide, both in research and for industrial applications. Machine learning is fast becoming a fundamental part of everyday life. This book is a brief introduction to this area - exploring its importance in a range of many disciplines, from science to engineering, and even its broader impact on our society. The book is written in a style that strikes a balance between brevity of explanation, rigorous mathematical argument, and outlines principle ideas. At the same time, it provides a comprehensive overview of a variety of methods and their application within this field. This includes an introduction to Bayesian approaches to modeling, as well as deep learning. Writing small programs to apply machine learning techniques is made easy by high level programming systems, and this book shows examples in Python with the machine learning libraries 'sklearn' and 'Keras'. The first four chapters concentrate on the practical side of applying machine learning techniques. The following four chapters discuss more fundamental concepts that includes their formulation in a probabilistic context. This is followed by two more chapters on advanced models, that of recurrent neural networks and that of reinforcement learning. The book closes with a brief discussion on the impact of machine learning and AI on our society. Fundamentals of Machine Learning provides a brief and accessible introduction to this rapidly growing field, one that will appeal to students and researchers across computer science and computational neuroscience, as well as the broader cognitive sciences.

This textbook presents fundamental machine learning concepts in an easy to understand manner by providing practical advice, using straightforward examples, and offering engaging discussions of relevant applications. The main topics include Bayesian classifiers, nearest-neighbor classifiers, linear and polynomial classifiers, decision trees, neural networks, and support vector machines. Later chapters show how to combine these simple tools by way of “boosting,” how to exploit them in more complicated domains, and how to deal with diverse advanced practical issues. One chapter is dedicated to the popular genetic algorithms. This revised edition contains three entirely new chapters on critical topics regarding the pragmatic application of machine learning in industry. The chapters examine multi-label domains, unsupervised learning and its use in deep learning, and logical approaches to induction. Numerous chapters have been expanded, and the presentation of the material has been enhanced. The book contains many new exercises, numerous solved examples, thought-provoking experiments, and computer assignments for independent work.

What is Artificial Intelligence? Artificial intelligence is a system that tends to simulate intelligent behaviors into computer-controlled machines or digital computers. Artificial Intelligence normally gives a machine the ability to carry out tasks usually associated with intelligent beings like us. Some of these tasks include translating languages, decision-making, visual perception, and speech recognition. In simple terms, artificial intelligence is the capability of any machine to mimic intelligent human behavior. Contrary to what many may think, Artificial intelligence is not a new field of study. In fact, it is older than most millennials reading this guide now. This may make you wonder when the concept of AI really started and from whence it came. As you will learn, machine learning is going to be a big deal in the world of technology. Those who would have started using it to unlock their data will greatly benefit from it even before people realize it exists. As a smart person, you should use this book to familiarize yourself with how machine learning works and then learn how to use it to your advantage. These days, AI is associated with the high-tech companies that dominate the field. Artificial intelligence first started as an academic discipline, but it has since sunken its tendrils into the business sector. Many AI researchers have abandoned academia altogether and flocked to companies like Facebook, Microsoft, Alphabet (Google) Amazon, openAI, and so on. The said companies are all working on different machine learning algorithms and are without a doubt at the forefront of AI research. Those with advanced degrees in AI, computer science, and maths rather join the engineering teams of these companies than stay in the academia. And since they are at the bleeding edge, it is worth listening to what their leaders have to say. Some have been quiet on the concerns about AI, and others like Amazon's Bezos have said that they aren't worried about potential AI threats. But, other visionaries like Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and physicist Stephen Hawking have all voiced their opinions on the potential dangers of Artificial Intelligence. In January 2015, Hawking, Musk, and several other AI experts signed an open letter on artificial intelligence research, calling for increased study on the potential effects on society. The twelve-page document is entitled "Research Priorities for Robust and Beneficial Artificial Intelligence: An Open Letter". It calls for further research on new AI legislation, privacy, ethics research, and several other concerns. As described in the letter, the potential threats of artificial intelligence can fall into multiple dimensions. The good news is that the early stages of AI development that we find ourselves in are malleable. The future is ours to create, provided that proper time and care go into the non-engineering side of AI research and policy. Book Outline: Chapter 1 - Artificial Beings, a Brief History of the Human Psyche Chapter 2 - Top Six AI Myths Chapter 3 - Why AI is the New Business Degree Chapter 4 - Understanding Machine Learning Chapter 5 - Machine Learning Steps Chapter 6 - Robotics Chapter 7 - Natural Language Processing

MACHINE LEARNING AND DATA SCIENCE Written and edited by a team of experts in the field, this collection of papers reflects the most up-to-date and comprehensive current state of machine learning and data science for industry, government, and academia. Machine learning (ML) and data science (DS) are very active topics with an extensive scope, both in terms of theory and applications. They have been established as an important emergent scientific field and paradigm driving research evolution in such disciplines as statistics, computing science and intelligence science, and practical transformation in such domains as science, engineering, the public sector, business, social science, and lifestyle. Simultaneously, their applications provide important challenges that can often be addressed only with innovative machine learning and data science algorithms. These algorithms encompass the larger areas of artificial intelligence, data analytics, machine learning, pattern recognition, natural language understanding, and big data manipulation. They also tackle related new scientific challenges, ranging from data capture, creation, storage, retrieval, sharing, analysis, optimization, and visualization, to integrative analysis across heterogeneous and interdependent complex resources for better decision-making, collaboration, and, ultimately, value creation.
