To get the most out of this book

The chapters in this book are sequenced in such a way that the reader can progressively learn about Artificial Intelligence for Big Data starting from the fundamentals and eventually move towards cognitive intelligence. Chapter 1, Big Data and Artificial Intelligence Systems, to Chapter 5, Deep Big Data Analytics, cover the basic theory of machine learning and establish the foundation for practical approaches to AI. Starting from Chapter 6, Natural Language Processing, we conceptualize theory into practical implementations and possible use cases. To get the most out of this book, it is recommended that the first five chapters are read in order. From Chapter 6, Natural Language Processing, onward, the reader can choose any topic of interest and read in whatever sequence they prefer.
