Readable as a whole or by chapter, this book is intended for business practitioners that have a bachelor or master's degree outside of the field of computer science or AI but still want to go deeper in their understanding of the AI technologies, their applicability and limitations. Such reading can also be useful as a general introduction for students taking an MBA class, or similar. The reader will find in this book a solid overview of the different AI technologies supporting systems that search, plan, reason, learn, adapt, understand or interact. All these terms are demystified in the book. The book covers the two traditional paradigms in AI: on one side, data-driven AI systems, that learn and perform by ingesting millions of data points into machine learning algorithms, and on the other side the consciously modelled AI systems, known as "symbolic AI" systems, that explicitly use symbolic representations. Rather than opposing those two paradigms, the book also shows how those different fields can complement each other and can be combined for even richer applications. Chapters are all structured in a pragmatic way that answers common sense questions about the why, what, how and limitations. The theory is illustrated with 22 real-world examples from the industry, giving altogether a solid understanding of AI concepts, applicability, and limitations.

The sixth addition to Chris Scullion's best-selling video game encyclopedias!The Game Boy Encyclopedia is the sixth book in Scottish author and journalist Chris Scullion's critically-acclaimed series of video game encyclopedias. There are few video game systems as iconic and important as the Nintendo Game Boy. Released in 1989, the handheld's humble green-tinted display allowed for a low-cost portable console that won over players where it mattered most: the quality of its games. From huge early successes like the iconic Tetris and Super Mario Land to its revival years later with the groundbreaking Pokémon games, the Game Boy stands proudly as one of the greatest gaming systems ever. Its 1998 successor, the Game Boy Color, addressed the one main weak spot in the Game Boy's armor and offered full-color games. Combined, nearly 120 million Game Boy and Game Boy Color handhelds were sold worldwide, with both models playing a huge role in so many childhoods (and adulthoods). This book contains every game released in the west for both handhelds: around 580 on the Game Boy and around 560 on the Game Boy Color. With around 1,150 games covered in total, screenshots and trivia factoids for every single title and a light-hearted writing style designed for an informative but entertaining read, The Game Boy Encyclopedia is the definitive guide to a legendary gaming platform.
