Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The mathematics behind AI is far easier to understand when the ideas come before the notation.Modern artificial intelligence combines linear algebra, calculus, probability, information theory and optimization. In research papers, those mathematical languages often appear together within a few lines. The result can look far more intimidating than the underlying ideas actually are.The Mathematics of AI, Made Intuitive builds those foundations from first principles and then connects them directly to machine learning, neural networks and modern AI.Rather than asking you to memorize equations, D. K. Harlan explains what each mathematical object is doing, why an equation has its particular shape and how the same structures reappear throughout AI.You will develop an intuitive understanding of: - vectors, matrices, embeddings, eigenvectors and singular values- derivatives, gradients, Jacobians, Hessians and backpropagation- probability, Bayesian reasoning, entropy and cross-entropy- gradient descent, momentum, adaptive optimization and generalization- attention, transformers and representation learning- generative models and statistical inference- reinforcement learning, search and reasoning- scaling laws, numerical computing and modern LLM trainingAt the centre of the book is one recurring learning process: Represent ? Transform ? Predict ? Measure Error ? Assign Responsibility ? Update ? RepeatOnce that structure becomes visible, unfamiliar equations stop looking like isolated symbols. A dot product becomes comparison. A gradient becomes sensitivity. Attention becomes a mechanism for deciding what information matters. Optimization becomes movement through parameter space.The goal is not merely to understand the mathematics used by today's models.It is to develop a mathematical language that remains useful as AI changes.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What actually happens inside a large language model after you press Enter An LLM can explain an idea, write code, translate languages, follow examples, generate arguments and solve unfamiliar problems. Yet explanations of how these systems work often collapse into one of two claims: 'It is only autocomplete.'or'It thinks like us.'Both miss the machinery that matters.LLMs, Made Intuitive builds a clear mental model of modern language models from the ground up, without requiring a machine-learning background.Beginning with next-token prediction, D. K. Harlan explains how text becomes tokens, how tokens become numerical representations, how attention moves information through a Transformer, how training turns prediction error into capability, and what happens during inference when a model generates an answer one token at a time.The book then goes further into the questions that matter when LLMs leave the laboratory and enter real work: Why do models hallucinate What changes during post-training Why can additional inference-time computation improve reasoning How do retrieval and tools alter what a model can do Why does prompting work without retraining the model What does an LLM actually 'know' How should we decide when its output can be trusted The result is a connected explanation of tokenization, embeddings, attention, Transformer architecture, training, post-training, inference, reasoning, context, hallucination, retrieval, tools, agents, prompting, verification and trust.The mathematics appears where it adds precision, but intuition comes first. The aim is not to replace technical ideas with metaphors. It is to make the real mechanisms understandable.Written for managers, researchers, students, software professionals, executives, writers and technically curious readers who want to understand modern AI without either hype or unnecessary jargon.Understand the machine behind the conversation.This description tracks the actual structure of the book, which moves from prediction and tokenization through attention, training, inference and reasoning, then into failure, systems, prompting and trust. The manuscript explicitly targets readers without a machine-learning background, including managers, researchers, students, software professionals, executives and technically curious readers.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A chatbot answers. An agent acts.That difference changes almost everything.AI agents can plan, use tools, retrieve information, remember across interactions and take actions in real systems. Yet explanations of agentic AI often fall into one of two traps: they stay so simple that the engineering disappears or they begin with frameworks and implementation details that become outdated almost immediately.AI AGENTS, MADE INTUITIVE takes a different approach.Starting from first principles, D. K. Harlan explains what turns a language model into an agent and how the surrounding system determines whether that agent becomes useful, reliable or dangerous.You will understand how agents: - turn goals into plans and actions- use APIs, software tools and external systems- manage context, memory and retrieval- coordinate in multi-agent systems- verify outcomes and recover from failures- balance autonomy with human control- handle reliability, safety and authorization- operate economically in production environments- become observable, testable and governableThe book moves from the basic agent loop to production-grade architectures, evaluation systems, reinforcement learning, alignment, long-running agents, human-agent collaboration and the emerging economics of agentic software.It also includes design patterns, production-readiness checklists, decision tables, debugging methods, core equations, worked architectures and formal foundations.This is not a prompt collection and it is not tied to one rapidly changing framework.It is a guide to understanding why AI agents work, where they fail and how to think clearly about building them.Written for software engineers, technical founders, AI product builders, architects, engineering leaders, researchers, advanced students and technically curious readers.…
