Machine learning i natural language processing w programowaniu. Podręcznik z ćwiczeniami w Pythonie
Piotr Wróblewski
Wejdź na nowy poziom programowania z ML i NLP Sztuczna inteligencja stale się rozwija. Właściwie codziennie słyszymy o jej rosnących możliwościach, nowych osiągnięciach i przyszłości, jaką nam przyniesie. Jednak w tej książce skupiamy się nie na przyszłości, a na teraźniejszości i praktycznym obliczu AI - na usługach, które świadczy już dziś. Większość najciekawszych zastosowań sztucznej inteligencji bazuje na ML (uczenie maszynowe, ang. machine learning), NLP (przetwarzanie języka naturalnego, ang. natural language processing) i architekturze RAG (ang. retrieval augmented generation) zwiększającej możliwości tzw. dużych modeli językowych (LLM, ang. large language model). Stanowią one podwaliny budowy systemów AI, bez których te systemy często wcale nie mogłyby powstać. Do niedawna ML i NLP pozostawały domeną badaczy i specjalistów - znajdowały się poza zasięgiem praktyków programowania. Aktualnie jest inaczej, szybkie komputery, pojemne pamięci RAM i zaawansowane procesory pozwalają stosować te technologie w codziennej pracy programisty. Szczególnie programisty języka Python, do którego są one niemal "naturalnie" przypisane. Mało tego, od kodujących w Pythonie coraz częściej wręcz wymaga się umiejętności znajomości obszaru AI. Tym bardziej warto sięgnąć po ten podręcznik z ćwiczeniami, dzięki któremu między innymi: Dowiesz się, jak używać Pythona do rozwiązywania problemów AI Poznasz tajniki analizy tekstów, analizy sentymentu Zrozumiesz, jak skutecznie używać algorytmów klasyfikacji, regresji i grupowania do rozwiązywania problemów biznesowych Pokonwersujesz z ChatGPT - i to bez wchodzenia na stronę internetową tego serwisu

Marketing w dobie sztucznej inteligencji Rewolucja AI, której jesteśmy świadkami, najprawdopodobniej odmieni nasz świat. Wpłynie także a może przede wszystkim na pracę. Pewne zawody znikną, inne znacznie się zmienią, pojawią się też zupełnie nowe stanowiska. Już dziś szeroko dyskutuje się na przykład o tym, że sztuczna inteligencja odbierze zajęcie marketerom. Czy naprawdę jest się czego bać? A może zamiast obawiać się rozwoju technologicznego, warto mu się przyjrzeć bliżej, poznać go i nauczyć się korzystać z nowych narzędzi po to, by wykonywać swoje zadania łatwiej, szybciej i skuteczniej? Celem, jaki postawiła sobie autorka tej książki, jest wprowadzenie czytelnika w zagadnienia rozwoju i historii AI, a także zapoznanie go z jej narzędziami: od modeli konwersacyjnych i służących do tworzenia treści po modele generujące kod i kreujące obrazy. Poradnik Kingi Sroki-Giepardy jest przeznaczony przede wszystkim dla osób działających w branżach marketingowej i technologicznej, jednak zawarta w nim wiedza przyda się każdemu, kto chce się zorientować, jak wyglądają bieżące możliwości narzędzi AI, i nauczyć się ich używać.
