Key benefits

  • Learn and master the essential blueprints to program AI for real-world business applications
  • Gain insights into how modern AI and machine learning solve core business challenges
  • Acquire practical techniques and a workflow that can build AI applications using state-of-the-art software libraries
  • Work with a practical, code-based strategy for creating successful AI solutions in your business

Description

AI Blueprints gives you a working framework and the techniques to build your own successful AI business applications. You’ll learn across six business scenarios how AI can solve critical challenges with state-of-the-art AI software libraries and a well thought out workflow. Along the way you’ll discover the practical techniques to build AI business applications from first design to full coding and deployment. The AI blueprints in this book solve key business scenarios. The first blueprint uses AI to find solutions for building plans for cloud computing that are on-time and under budget. The second blueprint involves an AI system that continuously monitors social media to gauge public feeling about a topic of interest - such as self-driving cars. You’ll learn how to approach AI business problems and apply blueprints that can ensure success. The next AI scenario shows you how to approach the problem of creating a recommendation engine and monitoring how those recommendations perform. The fourth blueprint shows you how to use deep learning to find your business logo in social media photos and assess how people interact with your products. Learn the practical techniques involved and how to apply these blueprints intelligently. The fifth blueprint is about how to best design a ‘trending now’ section on your website, much like the one we know from Twitter. The sixth blueprint shows how to create helpful chatbots so that an AI system can understand customers’ questions and answer them with relevant responses. This book continuously demonstrates a working framework and strategy for building AI business applications. Along the way, you’ll also learn how to prepare for future advances in AI. You’ll gain a workflow and a toolbox of patterns and techniques so that you can create your own smart code.

This much-needed handbook clearly and succinctly describes several of the most important applications of AI in today’s business world. It is written for programmers with a job to do: in short sections he tells you what software tools you need in order to start and how to implement them. E.g., how to use feedback, how to create recommendations, how to interact with the web, how to discover patterns in data, how to implement “deep learning”, and how to parse full text articles. The “how to” in each case points to specific code libraries that accomplish the job.Dr. Eckroth promises to focus on “programming realistic and useful AI applications with state-of-the-art software libraries” -- and he delivers.Bruce BuchananPast President and Fellow of AAAI

This book is extremely well thought-out and organized.The projects detailed in each chapter showcase multiple AI use cases and techniques. In each chapter, the AI workflow is addressed in the context of the specific project. The reader is encouraged not only to practice with the techniques and learn new coding skills but also to critically consider how the AI workflow might apply to new situations that are beyond the scope of this book. The final chapter of the book examines the various highs and lows of interest in AL and ML over the last several decades. It ends with advice on how to identify new approaches and advances in AI and how to decide whether or not these advances are relevant for real business need.I felt that the Summaries at the end of each chapter were very helpful.This book is targeted at software engineers who are familiar with Java and Python and wish to learn how to use artificial intelligence and machine learning in their code. The projects and suggested workflow target small/medium businesses and startup companies that wish to introduce advanced capabilities and automation into an existing platform.Excellent read.

As AI practitioners, we tend to focus on core problems: text and speech understanding, pattern recognition, machine learning, cognitive architectures, and so on. Stepping back, as computer scientists, we see problems in terms of algorithms, data structures, and information models. It’s easy to lose sight of some key and maybe uncomfortable truths: AI applications can be trained to meet or exceed the performance of the best human experts—but can still very mysteriously “fall off the cliff” when presented with problems outside of their trained scope; AI will always be a small part of any real world system; and, AI applications need regular attention: performance monitoring and updates. Dr. Eckroth addresses these truths through a comprehensive tour of AI technologies that anyone can adopt, combined with a very practical approach toward integrating, deploying, and evaluating applications to solve real-world problems.(I was a technical reviewer of this book for the publisher.)

As a non-expert in either AI or software engineering, I found Dr Eckroth's book very accessible and informative. I really appreciated the 'how-to' approach and look forward to working through the examples. The clear discussions about what types of problems AI technologies can help to solve, and how they fit into larger software systems, provide good context for a topic that often gets mentioned as a fix-anything tool. I would recommend the book to anybody who wants a hands-on approach to learning about AI, whether for business or just out of curiosity.

Artificial Intelligence is a broad subject that is often quite daunting to approach without proper guidance. On this book, the author takes a very pragmatic approach, cookbook style, presenting a number of real world problems and demonstrating how to approach them, building solutions with existing AI software/tools.The examples range from classic resource optimization problems, to natural language processing and neural network applications, among others.The author clearly shows his experience as a teacher on this book. Using an objective and clear language, the book is a joy to read and really easy to follow. A much needed addition to my library.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
