Among the various definitions of artificial intelligence, "machine-made intelligence" and "an artificial embodiment of some or all of the intellectual abilities possessed by humans" are two examples of what is meant by the term. Among the different explanations of artificial intelligence, the following are some essential points: "machines endowed with human-level intellect that can comprehend human-level reasoning, conduct, and thought processes." It is commonly believed that the ability to "apply prior knowledge and experience to achieve challenging new tasks" is what distinguishes a person as intelligent. One may make the case that this is a reference to the inherent wisdom that people possess in the end. In addition to being connected to the capacity for learning, this ability can be leveraged to respond in a flexible manner to a variety of situations and obstacles. A person's learning ability can be defined as their capability to learn new things in a short amount of time and in a comprehensive manner, or to acquire the same information in a more sophisticated manner. There is a correlation between prior knowledge and academic achievement, intellectual reasoning, and behavior; hence, intelligence may be molded via the process of being exposed to new material and training. It is for this reason that "the ability to solve problems" is frequently considered to be the starting point and ultimate definition of intelligence. When it comes to addressing a wide variety of problems, we require individuals who possess a high level of intelligence. Consider the game of chess as an illustration. You'll need to draw on knowledge from a broad variety of sources, such as books, internet resources, and other players, in order to make accurate guesses and put them into action. In order to carry out these acts, a high level of cognitive capacity is required, and it is via intelligencebased learning that new ways of thinking are developed. "Thought" is defined as "consciousness" in scientific contexts, which in turn characterize it as "experience" of an object in its whole.
This book is intended for academic and industrial developers, exploring and developing applications in the area of big data and machine learning, including those that are solving technology requirements, evaluation of methodology advances and algorithm demonstrations. The intent of this book is to provide awareness of algorithms used for machine learning and big data in the academic and professional community. The 17 chapters are divided into 5 sections: Theoretical Fundamentals; Big Data and Pattern Recognition; Machine Learning: Algorithms & Applications; Machine Learning's Next Frontier and Hands-On and Case Study. While it dwells on the foundations of machine learning and big data as a part of analytics, it also focuses on contemporary topics for research and development. In this regard, the book covers machine learning algorithms and their modern applications in developing automated systems. Subjects covered in detail include: Mathematical foundations of machine learning with various examples.
