With Artificial Intelligence (AI) creating huge opportunities for learning and employee development, how can learning professionals best implement the use of AI into their environment? Artificial Intelligence for Learning is the essential guide for learning professionals who want to understand how to use AI to improve all aspects of learning in organizations. This new edition debunks the myths and misconceptions around AI, discusses the learning theory behind generative AI and gives strategic and practical advice on how AI can be used. This book also includes specific guidance on how AI can provide learning support, chatbot functionality and content, as well as ideas on ethics and personalization. This book is necessary reading for all learning practitioners needing to understand AI and what it means in practice. AI in one sense means doing what humans do when they learn. The AI field is thick with references to ‘learning’, the most common being machine, deep and reinforcement learning. Machine Learning uses algorithms and statistical models and applies patterns and inferences to perform tasks through experience. This is analogous to traditional learning through exposure to taught experiences. Deep Learning is a Machine Learning technique that uses layered neural networks with large datasets, supervised, semi-supervised or unsupervised, to perform tasks. This is more like learning from the real world to gain competence and solve actual problems. Reinforcement learning operates on maximizing reward by exposure to existing knowledge and exploring new knowledge.

This is a book about computation, something which is ubiquitous in the modern world. More precisely, it examines computability theory and computational complexity theory. Computability theory is the part of mathematics and Computer Science which seeks to clarify what we mean by computation or algorithm. When is there a computational solution possible to some question? How can we show that none is possible? How computationally hard is the question we are concerned with? Arguably, this area lead to the development of digital computers. (Computational) complexity theory is an intellectual heir of computability theory. Complexity theory is concerned with understanding what resources are needed for computation, where typically we would measure the resources in terms of time and space. Can we perform some task in a feasible number of steps? Can we perform some algorithm with only a limited memory? Does randomness help? Are there standard approaches to overcoming computational difficulty?

The textbook is intended for teaching MATLAB language and its applications. MATLAB language is the most widely used computer languages in scientific computing, automatic control and system simulation. The book is composed of three parts: MATLAB programming, scientific computing with MATLAB, and system simulation with Simulink. Since MATLAB is widely used in all fields of science and engineering, a good introduction to the language can not only help students learn how to use it to solve practical problems, but also provide them with the skills to use MATLAB independently in their later courses and research. The three parts of the book are well-balanced and tailored to the needs of engineering students, and the mathematical problems commonly encountered in engineering can be easily solved using MATLAB. This textbook is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in science and engineering. MATLAB language is a highly integrated language. The statements are concise. It comes with powerful built-in facilities, such that tens or hundreds lines of source code in ordinary C or Fortran can be solved with a couple of lines in MATLAB. It is highly reliable and easy to maintain. The efficiency in solving scientific problems is significantly promoted.

Using diverse real-world examples, this text examines what models used for data analysis mean in a specific research context. What assumptions underlie analyses, and how can you check them? Building on the successful 'Data Analysis and Graphics Using R,' 3rd edition, it expands upon topics including cluster analysis, exponential time series, matching, seasonality, and resampling approaches. An extended look at p-values leads to an exploration of replicability issues and of contexts where numerous p-values exist, including gene expression. Developing practical intuition, this book assists scientists in the analysis of their own data, and familiarizes students in statistical theory with practical data analysis. The worked examples and accompanying commentary teach readers to recognize when a method works and, more importantly, when it doesn't. Each chapter contains copious exercises. Selected solutions, notes, slides, and R code are available online, with extensive references pointing to detailed guides to R. This text is designed as an aid, for learning and for reference, in the navigation of a world in which unprecedented new data sources, and tools for data analysis, are pervasive. It aims to teach, using real-world examples, a style of analysis and critique that, given meaningful data, can generate defensible analysis results. The text is suitable for a style of learning where readers work through the text with a computer at their side, running the R code as and when this seems helpful. It complements more mathematically oriented accounts of statistical methodology. The appendix provides a brief account of R, primarily as a starting point for learning. We encourage readers with limited R experience to avail themselves of the wealth of instructional material on the web.

This book is an introduction to Machine Learning, with a strong focus on the mathematics behind the standard algorithms and techniques in the field, aimed at senior undergraduates and early graduate students of Mathematics. There is a focus on well-known Supervised Machine Learning algorithms, detailing the existing theory to provide some theoretical guarantees, featuring intuitive proofs and exposition of the material in a concise and precise manner. A broad set of topics is covered, giving an overview of the field. A summary of the topics covered is: statistical learning theory, approximation theory, linear models, kernel methods, Gaussian processes, deep neural networks, ensemble methods and unsupervised learning techniques, such as clustering and dimensionality reduction. Machine Learning aims at building algorithms that autonomously learn how to perform a task from examples. This definition is rather vague on purpose, but to make it slightly clearer, by “autonomously” we mean that no expert is teaching (or coding by hand) the solution; by “learn” we mean that we have a measure of performance of the algorithm output on the task. This book is suited for students who are interested in entering the field, by preparing them to master the standard tools in Machine Learning. The reader will be equipped to understand the main theoretical questions of the current research and to engage with the field.

Typically, applied AI use cases are limited to employing off-the-shelf Machine Learning models, and they range anywhere from healthcare and finance to autonomous systems and agriculture. The journey through technicalities and innovation in the Machine Learning field is ongoing, and we hope this book serves as a compass, guiding the readers through the evolving landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The algorithms and techniques may evolve, but the essence of AI remains timeless. For any innovation by leveraging Machine Learning models on diverse applications/use cases, the focus (of innovation) typically includes model selection, parameter tuning and optimization, use of pre-trained models and transfer learning, right use of limited data, model interpretability and explainability, feature engineering and autoML robustness and security, and computational cost–efficiency and scalability. This book emphasizes the importance of moving beyond the constraints of pre-trained models and off-the-shelf basic building blocks to tackle real-world problems effectively. We navigate through three fundamental data types: numerical, textual, and image data, offering practical insights into their utilization across various domains. It is recommended that you become familiar with Python programming language as all the implementation is done with Python programming language. Firstly, we must start setting up an Interactive Development Environment (IDE) for coding Python and discuss some of the most important packages that are used in this book. Python is one of the most popular multi-purpose programming languages. The popularity comes from beginner-friendly syntax and a vast number of libraries and frameworks.
