This book guides professionals and students from various backgrounds to use Machine Learning in their own fields with low-code platform KNIME and without coding. Many people from various industries need use Machine Learning to solve problems in their own domains. However, Machine Learning is often viewed as the domain of programmers, especially for those who are familiar with Python. It is too hard for people from different backgrounds to learn Python to use Machine Learning. KNIME, the low-code platform, comes to help. KNIME helps people use Machine Learning in an intuitive environment, enabling everyone to focus on what to do instead of how to do. This book helps the readers gain an intuitive understanding of the basic concepts of Machine Learning through illustrations to practice Machine Learning in their respective fields. The author provides a practical guide on how to participate in Kaggle completions with KNIME to practice Machine Learning techniques. This textbook aims to provide a comprehensive and accessible introduction to AI and ML. It is structured into three parts: Introduction to AI Technology, Traditional Machine Learning, and Deep Learning. The first part lays the groundwork of essential knowledge, the second part explores various ML models and techniques, and the concluding part introduces the basics of Deep Learning. Primarily crafted for beginners, this textbook is also a valuable resource for anyone interested in the practical applications of AI and ML. Our aspiration is that readers will, in the spirit of Caesar’s renowned quote, “Veni Vidi Vici,” truly come, see, and conquer the basics of ML.

"Essentials of Python A Lunchtime Learning Guide" is a book designed for individuals with programming experience, aiming to help them learn the fundamentals of Python efficiently in a short period. With the emergence of Generative AI, such as ChatGPT, the role of programming is undergoing a transformation. Previously, the ability to understand a language inside out and write code from scratch, known as "output power," was considered the benchmark for programming proficiency. However, generative AI can now handle the "0 to 1" part of the process. Instead, humans need to focus more on "input power," the ability to understand written source code, and "analytical power," the ability to validate the code's validity. This book is tailored to this new programming style, aiming to help readers acquire the minimum knowledge required to get started with Python in the shortest possible time. The primary focus is on skimming through the source code, understanding the overall structure and connections, and grasping the program's behavior. This book aims to acquire the foundational knowledge for understanding the language, such as Python's basic syntax, data types, functions, classes, arrays, etc. The contents are written assuming a Python 3.10 environment. As of May 2024, the latest version is 3.12, but using too new a version may result in insufficient learning by generative AI or scarce information on the web, leading to reduced development efficiency, so a stable version with ample track record is used. Each chapter provides explanations using sample code to deepen practical understanding. Explanations of the execution results are also included to understand the behavior of the code.

He draws upon his expertise and lived experience to offer the essential skills and tools that you need to succeed with Artificial Intelligence, whether you are pursuing it as a career or simply working with AI in your work-life. Certainly, the capabilities of AI and ML have improving significantly with advances such as Deep Learning (DL) and Reinforcement Learning (RL) over the last decade or so, with many narrow applications having been demonstrated to deliver performance equivalent to human levels of ability. Deep Learning algorithms and architectures set the groundwork on which much of the recent progress has been made and certainly form the foundation for the popular Generative AI applications we see today. Machine Learning is a subfield of Artificial Intelligence that involves training algorithms to automatically learn and improve from data without being explicitly programmed. This is a significant departure from how we have built technology systems and applications previously and we are still discovering the best ways to do it to help us avoid things like decision bias and other ethical challenges. This chapter introduces the basic concepts of Machine Learning, including common algorithms and approaches like supervised and unsupervised learning.
