Описание:
Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare Data is more than a comprehensive introduction to artificial intelligence and machine learning. The book is split into two sections with an introduction to current healthcare data challenges that is followed by specific applications and case studies. The editors explore how AI is used as a tool in the analysis of healthcare data, specifically focusing on machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing. data privacy, cybersecurity and the ethics. Other sections explore how AI tools can help to interrogate data across a range of healthcare applications, including AI driven wearables and sensors and AI assisted surgery.
This book will be useful for researchers, graduate students and practitioners in computer science, data science, bioinformatics, health informatics, biomedical engineering and clinical engineering.
A small book that introduces key Artificial Intelligence (AI) concepts in an easy-to-read format with examples and illustrations. A complex, long, overly mathematical textbook does not always serve the purpose of conveying the basic AI concepts to most people. Someone with basic knowledge in Computer Science can have a quick overview of AI (heuristic searches, genetic algorithms, expert systems, game trees, fuzzy expert systems, natural language processing, super intelligence, etc.) with everyday examples. If you are taking a basic AI course and find the traditional AI textbooks intimidating, you may choose this as a "bridge" book, or as an introductory textbook. (This is old edition -- a new revised edition is currently available.)

Micro-videos, a new form of user-generated content, have been spreading widely across various social platforms, such as Vine, Kuaishou, and TikTok.
Different from traditional long videos, micro-videos are usually recorded by smart mobile devices at any place within a few seconds. Due to their brevity and low bandwidth cost, micro-videos are gaining increasing user enthusiasm. The blossoming of micro-videos opens the door to the possibility of many promising applications, ranging from network content caching to online advertising. Thus, it is highly desirable to develop an effective scheme for high-order micro-video understanding.
Micro-video understanding is, however, non-trivial due to the following challenges: (1) how to represent micro-videos that only convey one or few high-level themes or concepts; (2) how to utilize the hierarchical structure of venue categories to guide micro-video analysis; (3) how to alleviate the influence of low quality caused by complex surrounding environments and camera shake; (4) how to model multimodal sequential data, i.e. textual, acoustic, visual, and social modalities to enhance micro-video understanding; and (5) how to construct large-scale benchmark datasets for analysis. These challenges have been largely unexplored to date.
In this book, we focus on addressing the challenges presented above by proposing some state-of-the-art multimodal learning theories. To demonstrate the effectiveness of these models, we apply them to three practical tasks of micro-video understanding: popularity prediction, venue category estimation, and micro-video routing. Particularly, we first build three large-scale real-world micro-video datasets for these practical tasks. We then present a multimodal transductive learning framework for micro-video popularity prediction. Furthermore, we introduce several multimodal cooperative learning approaches and a multimodal transfer learning scheme for micro-video venue category estimation. Meanwhile, we develop a multimodal sequential learning approach for micro-video recommendation. Finally, we conclude the book and figure out the future research directions in multimodal learning toward micro-video understanding.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) will change the lives of people and businesses more fundamentally than many people can even imagine today. This book illustrates the importance of AI in an era of digitalization. It introduces the foundations of AI and explains its benefits and challenges for companies and entire industries. In this regard, AI is approached not just as yet another technology, but as a fundamental innovation, which will spread into all areas of the economy and life, and will disrupt business processes and business models in the years to come.
In turn, the book assesses the potential that AI holds, and clarifies the framework that is necessary for pursuing a responsible approach to AI. In a series of best-practice cases, the book subsequently highlights a broad range of sectors and industries, from production to services; from customer service to marketing and sales; and in industries like retail, health care, energy, transportation and many more. In closing, a dedicated chapter outlines a roadmap for a specific corporate AI journey.
No one can ignore intensive work with AI today - neither as a private person, let alone as a top performer in companies. This book offers a thorough, carefully crafted, and easy to understand entry into the field of AI. The central terms used in the AI ??context are given a very good explanation. In addition, a number of cases show what AI can do today and where the journey is heading. An important book that you should not miss!Professor Dr. Harley KrohmerUniversity of Bern
'Inspiring, thought provoking and comprehensive, this book is wittingly designed to be a catalyst for your individual and corporate AI journey.”

Описание: Do you want to learn how ML and AI can be applied in practice and be compatible with human behavior in modern times? If yes, then keep reading...
Machine learning (ML) is a data-driven approach. Hence it implies the availability of large datasets in order to make accurate decisions. In case only a limited dataset is available to solve a particular problem, it is best to use a deterministic approach. When a limited dataset is available it is hard to train a machine learning model and generalize its applicability to other similar problems. The developed model, in this case, is only applicable for the few data it was trained on.
Because ML methods rely solely only on data and the human expertise or judgment is not taken in consideration, it is the data that dictate if the machine learning method will fail or succeed to perform the task it was designed for. The way a machine learning approach works is that a modeler develops a learning algorithm. Then the modeler feeds the learning algorithm with the data and information.
The algorithm learns by itself from the data with no guidance or human interference. It is the algorithm that builds the system. If the data provided for the algorithm is of poor quality and biased then the system is also of poor quality and biased. Hence, cleaning and acquiring the right data to solve a problem with ML problem is very crucial. If the data are biased and noisy it is better to stick with a traditional method. Otherwise, the machine learning method will memorize the noise and provide inaccurate results.
Could Turning Important Decisions over to AI help Humanity? Some might say that's a terrible idea, but how much worse is it today where we've turned over our societies and civilizations to corrupt leadership, crony capitalism, or had to deal with rogue nation-states in other parts of the world with two-bit dictators, religious fanaticism, or the quest to destroy another group of peoples' civilization? Perhaps it's time we came up with a special think tank that could go through all the issues concerning our fears, and what we hope to expect from AI decision-making machines. That is to say how to get the best possible answer, all the time with the greatest probability.
We all watched IBM's "Watson" supercomputer as it won against the top human Jeopardy players. It did pretty well, most all the time; didn't it? Yes, but it wasn't perfect, and perhaps that's the scary part. In fact, some of the mistakes that it did make were mistakes that even a child wouldn't have missed. Still, if there is a group of humans or a think tank, focus group, or Board of Directors constantly surveying the answers and asking additional questions, then perhaps you don't have to worry about an erroneous answer now and again. In fact, it might make you smile and feel good to be a human at that point.
ML is useful anywhere you need to recognize patterns and predict behavior based on historical data. Recognizing patterns could mean anything from character recognition to predictive maintenance to recommending products to customers based on past purchases.

Correlation Between ML and Artificial Learning
The Era of Evolution
