Uczenie maszynowe
Sztuczna inteligencja. Nowe spojrzenie. Wydanie IV. Tom 2
Stuart Russell, Peter Norvig
Praktycznie codziennie korzystamy z osiągnięć sztucznej inteligencji. Mimo to jej potencjał wciąż jest zagadką: nie wiemy, gdzie leżą granice jej rozwoju i jakie jeszcze technologie przyniesie nam ta relatywnie młoda dziedzina nauki. Równocześnie niektóre zastosowania sztucznej inteligencji budzą niepokój i zmuszają do zadawania trudnych pytań. Jakakolwiek próba odpowiedzi jednak wymaga wiedzy o tym, czym w istocie jest sztuczna inteligencja i jakie są jej ograniczenia. To drugi tom klasycznego podręcznika wiedzy o sztucznej inteligencji. Podobnie jak w wypadku pierwszej części, lektura tej książki nie wymaga wybitnej znajomości tematu. Dzięki przejrzystości tekstu i umiejętnemu unikaniu nadmiernego formalizmu można w dość łatwy sposób zrozumieć kluczowe idee i koncepcje nauki o sztucznej inteligencji. Najnowsze technologiczne osiągnięcia zostały pokazane na tle rozwijającej się wiedzy, również z innych dziedzin inżynierii. Sporo miejsca poświęcono zagadnieniom, które budzą wątpliwości. Mowa tu o wyrafinowanych technikach uczenia maszynowego, modelach językowych czy widzeniu komputerowym, a także o sprawach, które już dziś wymagają najwyższej troski: o etycznych aspektach sztucznej inteligencji, bezpieczeństwie związanych z nią technologii i jej perspektywach. W drugim tomie: różne modele i koncepcje uczenia maszynowego przetwarzanie języka naturalnego i modele językowe widzenie komputerowe, w tym generowanie obrazów roboty: percepcja, działanie, uczenie perspektywy sztucznej inteligencji Sztuczna inteligencja: dokąd zmierzasz, technologio?
