Graph Algorithms the Fun Way offers a refreshing approach to complex concepts by blending humor, imaginative examples, and practical Python implementations to reveal the power and versatility of graph-based problem-solving in the real world. Through clear diagrams, engaging examples, and Python code, you’ll build a solid foundation for addressing graph problems in your own projects. This book is an introduction to graphs and their algorithms for programmers who want to understand and apply them. Graphs are a type of data structure used throughout mathematics, Computer Science, and numerous other fields to model and solve a wide range of real-world problems. The structure of a graph allows us to represent connections or associations between items. Understanding this structure is critical to harnessing the power of graphs and using them efficiently. This book is for programmers who want to learn more about graphs, graph algorithms, and the computational thinking behind such techniques. I assume no prior knowledge of graphs or graph algorithms. However, readers should have the kind of basic familiarity with Python that can be expected after an introductory course, book, or boot camp. They should be familiar with fundamental Python programming concepts, including basic data structures such as lists and dictionaries.

From two of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in AI, what you need to know about AI—and how to defend yourself against bogus AI claims and products. Confused about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and worried about what it means for your future and the future of the world? You’re not alone. AI is everywhere—and few things are surrounded by so much hype, misinformation, and misunderstanding. In AI Snake Oil, computer scientists Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor cut through the confusion to give you an essential understanding of how AI works and why it often doesn’t, where it might be useful or harmful, and when you should suspect that companies are using AI hype to sell AI snake oil—products that don’t work, and probably never will. While acknowledging the potential of some AI, such as ChatGPT, AI Snake Oil uncovers rampant misleading claims about the capabilities of AI and describes the serious harms AI is already causing in how it’s being built, marketed, and used in areas such as education, medicine, hiring, banking, insurance, and criminal justice. The book explains the crucial differences between types of AI, why organizations are falling for AI snake oil, why AI can’t fix social media, why AI isn’t an existential risk, and why we should be far more worried about what people will do with AI than about anything AI will do on its own. The book also warns of the dangers of a world where AI continues to be controlled by largely unaccountable big tech companies. By revealing AI’s limits and real risks, AI Snake Oil will help you make better decisions about whether and how to use AI at work and home.

A novel approach to hybrid AI aimed at developing trustworthy agent collaborators. The vast majority of current AI relies wholly on Machine Learning (ML). However, the past thirty years of effort in this paradigm have shown that, despite the many things that ML can achieve, it is not an all-purpose solution to building human-like intelligent systems. One hope for overcoming this limitation is hybrid AI: that is, AI that combines ML with knowledge-based processing. In Agents in the Long Game of AI, Marjorie McShane, Sergei Nirenburg, and Jesse English present recent advances in hybrid AI with special emphases on content-centric computational cognitive modeling, explainability, and development methodologies. At present, hybridization typically involves sprinkling knowledge into an ML black box. The authors, by contrast, argue that hybridization will be best achieved in the opposite way: by building agents within a cognitive architecture and then integrating judiciously selected ML results. This approach leverages the power of ML without sacrificing the kind of explainability that will foster society’s trust in AI. This book shows how we can develop trustworthy agent collaborators of a type not being addressed by the “ML alone” or “ML sprinkled by knowledge” paradigms—and why it is imperative to do so.

Data Science is a deep study of the massive amount of data, which involves extracting meaningful insights from raw, structured, and unstructured data that is processed using the scientific method, different technologies, and algorithms. It is a multidisciplinary field that uses tools and techniques to manipulate the data so that you can find something new and meaningful. Some of the most popular Data science tools are Python, Hadoop, Spark, R, Tensor Flow, BigML, MATLAB, Excel, and more. NumPy stands for Numerical Python. It is a Python library used for working with an array. In Python, we use the list for purpose of the array but it’s slow to process. NumPy array is a powerful N-dimensional array object and its use in linear algebra, Fourier transform, and random number capabilities. It provides an array object much faster than traditional Python lists. Numpy has fast built-in aggregate and statistical for working on arrays. By using these function or if we have good knowledge of these functions than we will play with arrays. NumPy is a Python package which means ‘Numerical Python’. It is the library for logical computing, which contains a powerful n-dimensional array object, gives tools to integrate C, C++ and so on. Pandas is an open-source data analysis and data manipulation library written in Python. Pandas provide you with data structures and functions to work on structured data seamlessly. The name Pandas refer to “Panel Data”, which means a structured dataset. Pandas have two main classes to work on, DataFrame and Series. Data Visualization is the process of presenting data in the form of graphs or charts. Matplotlib is a low-level library of Python which is used for data visualization. It is easy to use and emulates MATLAB like graphs and visualization. This library is built on the top of NumPy arrays and consists of several plots like line chart, bar chart, histogram, etc. It provides a lot of flexibility but at the cost of writing more code.
