Book Description
The history of art is the history of civilization itself. With the rise of computers, it wasn’t long before humans began to explore using them to generate artwork. Using artificial intelligence to generate random artwork within set parameters began back in at least 1973 and has slowly been growing in complexity and ability. Recent breakthroughs have resulted in millions of eager users now racing to create their own art with this new technology. The ability to make anything can be daunting for new users, though. Where do you even start? How do you make stunning images like you see online? What inspirations do you draw from and how do you put them together? This book is intended to serve as a handy reference guide for users, both new and more experienced. Using a unique and whimsical collection of cats and dogs, in Section One author Jack Wylder provides users with visual representations of different artists who can serve as inspiration for their own art. Section Two dives more into the different Artistic Movements and styles possible, while Section Three covers a miscellany of different commands for the AI to interpret, and the final section. Section Four, touches on the basics of composition and how to put together the assets generated into a cohesive whole. Artists interested in the latest developments in Art, as well as fans of cats, dogs, animals, and art history will also find plenty of interesting artwork to peruse. An Illustrated Guide to AI Prompt Mastery is a valuable reference to this fascinating new field that is emerging.

Book Description
MAKE ART with Artificial Intelligence A guide on practical artificial intelligence for drawing, art, illustration, and design - for everyone interested in creativity, art, and technology. The book has hundreds of original illustrations made or augmented with AI, 20+ online and video tutorials, 35+ Python notebooks, a GitHub repository and a blockchain art gallery. Written and illustrated by Kevin Ashley, a Microsoft developer hall of fame engineer, and an author of books and courses on artificial intelligence. Think of this book as v3.0 of your drawing class manual on how to sketch, draw faces, emotions, body poses, landscapes, apply light, color, style, emotion, expressions, perspective, generate animations, speech and more with artificial intelligence. All artwork from this book is created or augmented with machine learning and available in online NFT gallery, as well as tutorials and practical examples. The impact of this book in data science community inspired a group of Microsoft engineers and data scientists to implement a project they called Azure Picasso to streamline the path from a conceptual artwork, enhanced with artificial intelligence to publishing art in online galleries. FROM REVIEWS This is similar to the best lecture classes I had in college where the professor talked in class about the concepts and fundamentals but then gave us homework that would let us experiment and try out the concepts hands-on. As an artist who has 30 years of artwork looking to share, I love this book because it's approachable to the novice and useful to the expert. EDITIONS Beautiful Paperback, 8x10, color edition, more illustrations than the e-book, reads like an art book, beautiful print and high-quality paper. eBook - easy to read on phones, tablets and online readers, reflowing text, great for practical tutorials, as the book has many links to tutorials.

Mathematics for Machine Learning
Author: Marc Peter Deisenroth
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108569323
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
The fundamental mathematical tools needed to understand machine learning include linear algebra, analytic geometry, matrix decompositions, vector calculus, optimization, probability and statistics. These topics are traditionally taught in disparate courses, making it hard for data science or computer science students, or professionals, to efficiently learn the mathematics. This self-contained textbook bridges the gap between mathematical and machine learning texts, introducing the mathematical concepts with a minimum of prerequisites. It uses these concepts to derive four central machine learning methods: linear regression, principal component analysis, Gaussian mixture models and support vector machines. For students and others with a mathematical background, these derivations provide a starting point to machine learning texts. For those learning the mathematics for the first time, the methods help build intuition and practical experience with applying mathematical concepts. Every chapter includes worked examples and exercises to test understanding. Programming tutorials are offered on the book's web site.
