The evolution of artificial intelligence is tackled in this work with a simplicity that renders even the most complex data science and machine learning topics digestible. Unlike most theory-based textbooks, Pulipaka’s book delivers a greater narrative element that permeates throughout and removes much of the fluff from a traditional educational text.

While the book is ideally suited for those looking to advance in the realm of data science, the author’s ability to help audiences translate his content directly into daily use is impeccable. For instance, Pulipaka highlights numerous case uses, including but not limited to advanced cybersecurity techniques in identifying spam messages and understanding weather patterns. Using his DeepMind Lab, the author’s depth and knowledge are unparalleled. He delves into the intricate architecture of machine learning, covering neuromorphic computing paradigms, the reinforcement algorithm, unified AI, and Intel deep learning frameworks, among many other topics.

Pulipaka’s emphasis on a guidance-based narrative acts as a roadmap for even the most uninformed of readers to glean something of value in the world of programming languages like Python and C++ while simultaneously gaining exposure to concepts like decision trees, data structures, and logistic regression. Further, helpful diagrams, models, and charts are almost omnipresent in the work. The author capitalizes on any chance he has to tell a story not only through his words but also through his infographics. Through it all, Pulipaka adopts a relatively straightforward mantra, breaking down every section of his text with a portion on “Getting Ready,” “How to do It,” and “How it Works.” Overall, Pulipaka’s knowledge of artificial intelligence and machine learning (and his ability to teach it) is undeniable as he brings into existence a comprehensive text that is certain to appeal to individuals at various educational stages of machine learning.
