Among its wonders are strong AI, nanotechnology, and advanced robotics. Nature can therefore serve as a guide for real-life problem solving. In this book, you will encounter algorithms influenced by ants, bees, genomes, birds, and cells that provide practical methods for many types of AI situations. Although nature is the muse behind the methods, we are not duplicating its exact processes. The complex behaviors in nature merely provide inspiration in our quest to gain new insights about data. Artificial Intelligence for Humans is a book series meant to teach AI to those readers who lack an extensive mathematical background. The reader only needs knowledge of basic college algebra and computer programming. Additional topics are thoroughly explained. Every chapter also includes a programming example. Examples are currently provided in Java, C#, and Python. Other languages are planned. No knowledge of biology is needed to read this book. With a forward by Dave Snell. Review: Five Stars - Very instructive set of books, with a practical perspective. Review: Very superficial descriptions, code almost non-existent. Waste of time and money - I feel bad giving such a low review, but this book really is a waste of time. I had seen articles about this subject before, and had played around a little with the algorithms, and was looking for something to explain the algorithms in more depth, and guide me as to how to write code. This book fails miserably at all of that. He gives a very high level overview of the algorithm, not really enough to get the point, then if you're lucky, gives some pseudocode, which is actually a very cut down Python script that doesn't have enough code to tell you much, then says "By running this code I got the following results..." without anything in between. The only way to see what the code does is to download the source and read it yourself. I don't need to buy his book to do that, there are plenty of online bits of code I can download for free. What I wanted was something that would explain the code, which this doesn't. If I hadn't had any previous background to the material, I wouldn't have got anywhere from his scant explanations. If you're interested in this sort of subject, I recommend you read some of the articles by James Mccaffrey (regular columnist in MSDN Magazine , search online and you'll find his articles) which cover these subject much more clearly. He gives an explanation of the algorithm (like one you can understand and has enough detail to tell you were you're going), shows enough code so you can see how he's implemented it, without distracting you with all the little details, then explains the output. You can also download the code and go into it in more detail. The code is in C#, but he deliberately writes very plain C#, which is almost identical to the equivalent Java, and very readable for a Python programmer. Once you've got going with that, the next best thing to do is ask questions on Stack Exchange where you'll get no end of help. In summary, I really can't recommend this book at all. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 4,976,293 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 30,307 in Computer Science (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 83 Reviews | ## Images ![Artificial Intelligence for Humans, Volume 2: Nature-Inspired Algorithms - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61svvbYHvSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by J***A on 19 July 2017* Very instructive set of books, with a practical perspective. ### ⭐⭐ Very superficial descriptions, code almost non-existent.
