This year, US citizens will be having Thanksgiving at the very end of the month (November 28th). It’ll be a time to be grateful of the things you have and seeing the whole family, even though you might despise a good amount of them. It’ll also be time to start…

With the explosion of AI across all industries, Deep Learning has been responsible for many of the major breakthroughs. But for people in non-tech, what exactly is Deep Learning? Deep Learning is a series of machine learning models based on artificial neural networks. Okay, we just described what is Deep…

Earlier this week, I attended the O’Reilly AI Conference up in San Jose, CA. Wednesday and Thursday started off with keynotes showcasing what companies were currently researching in the field of AI. While I’m no expert in the field, I found four key takeaways from the keynotes. Beyond Fully Supervised/Unsupervised Learning For those new…

In part 1, I used OpenCV and Python to load our game and get to the board data. In part 2, I built the basic mechanics for our AI to make moves. In this post, I’ll be going over more advanced mechanisms used to allow our AI to make better…

When I was about 5–6 years old, I remembered the family getting a Nintendo 64. My favorite game on the system was Super Smash Brothers. I liked the game so much that my young mind visualized myself in the game. It was at that point when I wanted to become…

In my previous post, I was able to get our code to get past the loading screen and get the board information. However, a program that can only grab the board without acting on the information does no good. In this post, we’ll be adding the basic mechanisms for our…

When I was a kid, I loved to play the original Bejeweled (Diamond Mine). While the game is much simpler than the later releases, I found the music to be the best. Since I just installed Windows 10 on my MacBook, why not try to create an AI playing bot…

With machine learning and AI being very popular and hyped, it’s not surprising that cloud providers such as Azure, Google Cloud, and AWS offer services for doing machine learning. These services often don’t require the user to delve into mathematically complex topics such as convolutional neural networks and back propagation. …

With the rise of Siri, Google Home, Alexa, and Cortana, it’s obvious that there’s a demand for chatbots. In the past, chatbots were more of a niche technology due to limited functionality. With recent advancements in computer technology, chatbots have now become practical for everyday use. What is a Chatbot? First, let’s define the…
