Reihe: What Every Engineer Should Know

Recognizing the vast potential in analyzing big data through machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, companies are acknowledging these technologies as essential for maintaining relevance. A prevailing trend is emerging towards the adoption of distributed open-source computing for storing big data assets and performing advanced ML/AI analytics to predict future trends and risks for businesses. This book offers readers an overview of the essentials of big data and ML/AI, while acknowledging that the field is extensive and evolving. Rather than focusing on theory, the book shares real-life experiences building AI and big data analytics systems of value to practitioners.

• Features practical case studies on building big data and AI models for large scale enterprise solutions.

• Discusses the use of design patterns for architecting AI that are safe, secure, and testable.

• Covers an array of concepts including deep big data analytics, natural language processing, transformer architecture and evolution of ChatGPT, swarm intelligence, and genetic programming.

Informed by the authors' many years of teaching ML, AI, and working on predictive data analytics/AI projects, this book is suitable for use by graduates, professionals, and researchers within the field of data science and engineers and scientists interested in learning more about these essential technologies.
