Algorithms for Decision Making (Free PDF)

 

A broad introduction to algorithms for decision making under uncertainty, introducing the underlying mathematical problem formulations and the algorithms for solving them.

Automated decision-making systems or decision-support systems—used in applications that range from aircraft collision avoidance to breast cancer screening—must be designed to account for various sources of uncertainty while carefully balancing multiple objectives. This textbook provides a broad introduction to algorithms for decision making under uncertainty, covering the underlying mathematical problem formulations and the algorithms for solving them.

The book first addresses the problem of reasoning about uncertainty and objectives in simple decisions at a single point in time, and then turns to sequential decision problems in stochastic environments where the outcomes of our actions are uncertain. It goes on to address model uncertainty, when we do not start with a known model and must learn how to act through interaction with the environment; state uncertainty, in which we do not know the current state of the environment due to imperfect perceptual information; and decision contexts involving multiple agents. The book focuses primarily on planning and reinforcement learning, although some of the techniques presented draw on elements of supervised learning and optimization. Algorithms are implemented in the Julia programming language. Figures, examples, and exercises convey the intuition behind the various approaches presented.

Machine Learning, often called Artificial Intelligence or AI, is one of the most exciting areas of technology at the moment. We see daily news stories that herald new breakthroughs in facial recognition technology, self driving cars or computers that can have a conversation just like a real person. Machine Learning technology is set to revolutionise almost any area of human life and work, and so will affect all our lives, and so you are likely to want to find out more about it. Machine Learning has a reputation for being one of the most complex areas of computer science, requiring advanced mathematics and engineering skills to understand it. While it is true that working as a Machine Learning engineer does involve a lot of mathematics and programming, we believe that anyone can understand the basic concepts of Machine Learning, and given the importance of this technology, everyone should. The big AI breakthroughs sound like science fiction, but they come down to a simple idea: the use of data to train statistical algorithms. In this course you will learn to understand the basic idea of machine learning, even if you don't have any background in math or programming. Not only that, you will get hands on and use user friendly tools developed at Goldsmiths, University of London to actually do a machine learning project: training a computer to recognise images. This course is for a lot of different people. It could be a good first step into a technical career in Machine Learning, after all it is always better to start with the high level concepts before the technical details, but it is also great if your role is non-technical. You might be a manager or other non-technical role in a company that is considering using Machine Learning. You really need to understand this technology, and this course is a great place to get that understanding. Or you might just be following the news reports about AI and interested in finding out more about the hottest new technology of the moment. Whoever you are, we are looking forward to guiding you through you first machine learning project.

NB this course is designed to introduce you to Machine Learning without needing any programming. That means that we don't cover the programming based machine learning tools like python and TensorFlow.

What is the output of following Python code?

 

What is the output of following Python code?

import math

print(math.floor(-2.8))

print(math.trunc(-2.8))

print(math.ceil(-2.8))

Solution and Explanation: 

The output of the provided Python code is:

-3

-2

-2

Here's a breakdown of each line:

math.floor(-2.8): This line uses the floor function from the math module to round down -2.8 to the nearest integer. Since the largest integer less than or equal to -2.8 is -3, the output is -3.

math.trunc(-2.8): Similar to floor, trunc also rounds down towards zero. However, unlike floor, it truncates the decimal part of the number instead of rounding it. Therefore, math.trunc(-2.8) also outputs -2.

math.ceil(-2.8): This line uses the ceil function, which rounds numbers up to the nearest integer. The smallest integer greater than or equal to -2.8 is -2, so math.ceil(-2.8) outputs -2.

Python Coding challenge - Day 92 | What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

The above code is a Python list comprehension that adds corresponding elements of sublists in the nested list lis. Let's break it down:

lis = [[8, 7], [6, 5]]

result = [p + q for p, q in lis]

print(result)

lis is a nested list with two sublists: [8, 7] and [6, 5].

The list comprehension [p + q for p, q in lis] iterates over each sublist, and for each sublist, it takes elements p and q and calculates their sum p + q.

The result is a new list (result) containing the sums of corresponding elements from the sublists.

When you print the result, you'll get:

[15, 11]

This is because:

For the first sublist [8, 7], the sum of corresponding elements is 8 + 7 = 15.

For the second sublist [6, 5], the sum of corresponding elements is 6 + 5 = 11.

So, the final output is [15, 11].

clcoding = '786' *coding_list, = clcoding print(coding_list)

 

Code :

clcoding = '786'

*coding_list, = clcoding

print(coding_list)

Solution and Explanation: 

In the above code, the expression *coding_list, = clcoding is used to unpack the characters from the string clcoding and assign them to the list coding_list. Here's a breakdown:

clcoding = '786'

# Unpack the characters from the string 'clcoding' and assign them to the list 'coding_list'

*coding_list, = clcoding

# Print the resulting list

print(coding_list)

When you run this code, it will output:

['7', '8', '6']

This is essentially doing the same thing as the previous example using list(clcoding), but in a more concise way using the unpacking syntax *. The result is a list containing individual characters from the string '786'.
