Cybernetical Intelligence - by Kelvin K L Wong (Hardcover)

About the Book

"Cybernetics is a field of study concerned with the understanding of control and communication systems in both natural and artificial systems. It deals with the study of feedback mechanisms, control systems, and information processing, and has had a significant influence on the development of artificial intelligence and computer science. Neural networks, on the other hand, are a type of machine learning algorithm that are modeled after the structure and function of the human brain. Neural networks are capable of learning and making predictions or decisions based on input data, and are widely used in a range of applications, including image recognition, speech recognition, natural language processing, and game playing. The combination of cybernetics and neural networks provides a powerful framework for understanding and developing artificial intelligence systems that can perform a wide range of tasks and make decisions based on data. Cybernetical Intelligence provides a comprehensive overview of these technologies, covering their history, mathematical foundations, different types, applications, and challenges, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding and working with artificial intelligence and cybernetics"--

Book Synopsis

CYBERNETICAL INTELLIGENCE

Highly comprehensive, detailed, and up-to-date overview of artificial intelligence and cybernetics, with practical examples and supplementary learning resources

Cybernetical Intelligence: Engineering Cybernetics with Machine Intelligence is a comprehensive guide to the field of cybernetics and neural networks, as well as the mathematical foundations of these technologies. The book provides a detailed explanation of various types of neural networks, including feedforward networks, recurrent neural networks, and convolutional neural networks as well as their applications to different real-world problems. This groundbreaking book presents a pioneering exploration of machine learning within the framework of cybernetics. It marks a significant milestone in the field's history, as it is the first book to describe the development of machine learning from a cybernetics perspective. The introduction of the concept of "Cybernetical Intelligence" and the generation of new terminology within this context propel new lines of thought in the historical development of artificial intelligence. With its profound implications and contributions, this book holds immense importance and is poised to become a definitive resource for scholars and researchers in this field of study.

Each chapter is specifically designed to introduce the theory with several examples. This comprehensive book includes exercise questions at the end of each chapter, providing readers with valuable opportunities to apply and strengthen their understanding of cybernetical intelligence. To further support the learning journey, solutions to these questions are readily accessible on the book's companion site. Additionally, the companion site offers programming practice exercises and assignments, enabling readers to delve deeper into the practical aspects of the subject matter.

Cybernetical Intelligence includes information on:

• The history and development of cybernetics and its influence on the development of neural networks
• Developments and innovations in artificial intelligence and machine learning, such as deep reinforcement learning, generative adversarial networks, and transfer learning
• Mathematical foundations of artificial intelligence and cybernetics, including linear algebra, calculus, and probability theory
• Ethical implications of artificial intelligence and cybernetics as well as responsible and transparent development and deployment of AI systems

Presenting a highly detailed and comprehensive overview of the field, with modern developments thoroughly discussed, Cybernetical Intelligence is an essential textbook that helps students make connections with real-life engineering problems by providing both theory and practice, along with a myriad of helpful learning aids.
