Introduction

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an interdisciplinary science with multiple approaches to solve a problem. Advancements in machine learning (ML) and deep learning are creating a paradigm shift in virtually every tech industry sector.

This handbook provides a quick introduction to concepts in AI and ML. The sequence of the book contents has been set in a way to make it easy for students and teachers to understand relevant concepts with a practical orientation. This book starts with an introduction to AI/ML and its applications. Subsequent chapters cover predictions using ML, and focused information about AI/ML algorithms for different industries (health care, agriculture, autonomous driving, image classification and segmentation, SEO, smart gadgets and security). Each industry use-case demonstrates a specific aspect of AI/ML techniques that can be used to create pipelines for technical solutions such as data processing, object detection, classification and more.

Additional features of the book include a summary and references in every chapter, and several full-color images to visualize concepts for easy understanding. It is an ideal handbook for both students and instructors in undergraduate level courses in artificial intelligence, data science, engineering and computer science who are required to understand AI/ML in a practical context.

Audience: Students and instructors in artificial intelligence, data science, engineering and computer science courses
