The Challenge to AI. The Future of AGI: Bridging Human Cognition and Artificial Intelligence
Mercury Learning and Information, Stephen Robbins
This book invites readers to explore where AI, consciousness, and human cognition intersect. It challenges existing notions in AI and cognitive science by arguing that true intelligence lies not in software but in the brain's complex biochemical system, far removed from current AI architectures. Through examining time, perception, language, and thought, the book presents a compelling case for the indispensability of biology and consciousness in cognition, highlighting the profound differences between man and machine.The journey begins with an introduction to AGI and the brain's resonance, moving through philosophical perspectives on perception and the external world. Readers will delve into the biochemical basis of cognition, exploring implicit and explicit memory, conscious cognition, voluntary actions, and the unique aspects of human speech and generative AI. The book culminates with discussions on affect, space, time, and the requirements for creating a conscious device.Understanding these concepts is crucial for advancing AI and cognitive science. This book transitions readers from conventional views to a new framework that integrates biology and consciousness, blending theory with profound insights. It is an essential resource for those seeking to understand the true nature of intelligence and the future of AI.

This book delves into Generative AI and the potential for AI to achieve consciousness. It covers historical and modern perspectives on AI, from ancient myths to the Turing Test and current advancements. The book explores the theoretical and practical aspects of creating a conscious AI, including specifications for synthetic consciousness and integrating AI with human cognition. It questions whether generative AI can meet traditional criteria of consciousness.The journey begins with understanding consciousness, tracing AI's origins, and clarifying human cognition through AI. It examines early AI failures, fears of success, and the engineering of consciousness. The book also explores archaic AI representations, the intelligence of automatons, and the relevance of the Turing Test, concluding with strategies for achieving synthetic consciousness.These concepts are crucial for advancing AI towards synthetic consciousness. This book transitions readers from historical perspectives to modern AI challenges, blending theory with practical insights. It is an essential resource for understanding the future of AI and its potential to achieve consciousness.

Regularization is an infallible way to produce accurate results with unseen data, however, applying regularization is challenging as it is available in multiple forms and applying the appropriate technique to every model is a must. The Regularization Cookbook provides you with the appropriate tools and methods to handle any case, with ready-to-use working codes as well as theoretical explanations. After an introduction to regularization and methods to diagnose when to use it, you’ll start implementing regularization techniques on linear models, such as linear and logistic regression, and tree-based models, such as random forest and gradient boosting. You’ll then be introduced to specific regularization methods based on data, high cardinality features, and imbalanced datasets. In the last five chapters, you’ll discover regularization for deep learning models. After reviewing general methods that apply to any type of neural network, you’ll dive into more NLP-specific methods for RNNs and transformers, as well as using BERT or GPT-3. By the end, you’ll explore regularization for computer vision, covering CNN specifics, along with the use of generative models such as stable diffusion and Dall-E.By the end of this book, you’ll be armed with different regularization techniques to apply to your ML and DL models.
Time Series Indexing. Implement iSAX in Python to index time series with confidence
Mihalis Tsoukalos
Time series are everywhere, ranging from financial data and system metrics to weather stations and medical records. Being able to access, search, and compare time series data quickly is essential, and this comprehensive guide enables you to do just that by helping you explore SAX representation and the most effective time series index, iSAX.The book begins by teaching you about the implementation of SAX representation in Python as well as the iSAX index, along with the required theory sourced from academic research papers. The chapters are filled with figures and plots to help you follow the presented topics and understand key concepts easily. But what makes this book really great is that it contains the right amount of knowledge about time series indexing using the right amount of theory and practice so that you can work with time series and develop time series indexes successfully. Additionally, the presented code can be easily ported to any other modern programming language, such as Swift, Java, C, C++, Ruby, Kotlin, Go, Rust, and JavaScript.By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to harness the power of iSAX and SAX representation to efficiently index and analyze time series data and will be equipped to develop your own time series indexes and effectively work with time series data.

Zostań supermistrzem w krainie łamigłówek! >>Posłuchaj wywiadu Krystiana Hanke (Projekt Tatowanie / Radio 357) z Pauliną Mechło Rozwój intelektu u dziecka nie jest procesem ani ciągłym, ani jednolitym. Każdy rodzic wie, że kolejne umiejętności, zdolność do analizy i syntezy oraz do wyciągania właściwych wniosków w różnych sytuacjach życiowych przychodzą nagle, prawie jak olśnienie. Nie można jednak liczyć na żaden skok w tej dziedzinie, jeśli młody mózg pozbawiony jest pożywki intelektualnej, wielorakiej stymulacji i wyzwań. Dlatego właśnie szczególnie dzieci — choć oczywiście nie tylko one — powinny mieć stały dostęp do zagadek, łamigłówek, ćwiczeń i zadań pobudzających neurony oraz łączących proces myślenia z koordynacją ruchową, a do tego wciągających i ciekawych. Takie zadania można znaleźć w tej książce! Jej autorki wiedzą, jak pobudzić różne obszary mózgu dziecka, zapewnić mu świetną zabawę i odpowiednią dawkę wysiłku umysłowego. Ćwicz z dzieckiem myślenie! Dla młodych zagadkowiczów! Jeśli chcesz poprawić swoją pamięć, żeby szybciej uczyć się do klasówek, zwiększyć umiejętność kojarzenia faktów, łatwiej ogarniać nowe wiadomości i w ogóle lepiej myśleć, te zadania pomogą Ci osiągnąć cel! Nie są trudne, są za to ciekawe i zabawne! Będziesz łączyć sylaby, wymyślać nazwy, rysować jabłka i szukać wzorów w różnych kombinacjach rysunków. Zobacz, jak łatwo zostać mistrzem!
Michał Heller
Jednym z najbardziej osobistych doświadczeń człowieka jest doświadczenie zanurzenia w strumień czasu. Michał Heller przedstawia zagadnienie czasu w perspektywie historycznej mając na uwadze dzisiejszy stan nauk: matematyki, fizyki i kosmologii. Możemy śledzić pasjonującą historię myśli ludzkiej zmagającej się z uchwyceniem czegoś tak dobrze nam znanego z codziennego, a jednocześnie tak trudnego do zwerbalizowania, jak przemijanie. Przeszłość to ogromny obszar, który już był, przyszłość to nieskończone pole możliwości, a chwila teraźniejsza jest punktem, nicością, odgradzająca przeszłość od przyszłości, ale równocześnie jest ona czymś najbardziej rzeczywistym – rzeczywistym, bo jedynym, co naprawdę istnieje. Przeszłości już nie ma, przyszłości jeszcze nie ma, jedynie teraźniejszość JEST. Michał Heller Michał Heller – kosmolog, filozof i teolog, Laureat Nagrody Templetona i założyciel Centrum Kopernika Badań Interdyscyplinarnych w Krakowie. Autor m.in. książek Bóg i geometria (CCPress 2015), Moralność myślenia (CCPress 2015), Ważniejsze niż Wszechświat (CCPress 2018).
