Practical Artificial Intelligence in Julia

Develop a thorough grasp of artificial intelligence through practical implementations in Julia. This trailblazing book covers classical AI algorithms and provides practical implementations of agile AI applications, highlighting Julia's versatility and high-performance capabilities for AI development.

This book takes a practical approach to ensure that readers translate theoretical concepts into tangible, real-world scenarios. Along the way, you will learn and implement neural networks, genetic algorithms, and neuroevolution from scratch. Author Dr. Alexandre Bergel uses practical examples, such as solutions to the traveling sales problem and a fun platform game (including a random level generator) to reinforce AI techniques. It also introduces Darwinian evolution principles, demonstrating how to evolve zoomorphic organisms to solve particular tasks, such as stair climbing or going over obstacles.

This book stands out as among the earliest to delve into Genertic Algorithms and Neuroevolutions in Julia, and it is one of the few available that offers a comprehensive implementation of Neuroevolution. It is equally as fun as it is informative, providing readers with source code to play along with and apply to future projects.
