Synopsis

Authored by Vikram Singh Sankhala, "AI and Machine Learning for Beginners: A Practical Python Guide" is specifically designed to demystify the complex world of artificial intelligence and machine learning for absolute newcomers. The book starts by laying a solid foundation, explaining the evolution from rule-based systems to modern ML, clarifying the distinctions between AI, ML, and Deep Learning, and exploring the different types of machine learning paradigms with relatable real-world analogies. It then dives into essential algorithms, covering everything from fundamental linear models like Linear and Logistic Regression to more advanced techniques such as Decision Trees, Random Forests, K-Nearest Neighbors, K-Means Clustering, Naive Bayes, and Support Vector Machines. Each algorithm is explained clearly and accompanied by practical Python code examples to ensure readers not only understand the theory but can also implement it. Building upon the foundational knowledge, the guide introduces the fundamentals of Deep Learning, detailing neural network architectures, activation functions, and backpropagation before exploring Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), and generative models like GANs and VAEs. The book provides a comprehensive implementation toolkit, guiding readers through the Python ecosystem with libraries like NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, and TensorFlow, and covers the entire model development lifecycle from data preprocessing to deployment. Real-world applications across healthcare, finance, and autonomous technologies are integrated throughout as case studies, demonstrating the practical impact of these technologies. Concluding with discussions on ethics, future trends, and hands-on beginner and advanced projects, this book equips readers with the knowledge and practical skills needed to confidently embark on their journey into the exciting field of AI and machine learning.
