This section of Kennel University’s AI module is designed to provide hands-on experience with Artificial Intelligence, allowing users to build and experiment with real-world applications. The practical examples here range from foundational projects to more advanced implementations, offering a progression of challenges that mirror the complexities of AI in the real world.

Example 1: Build a Simple AI Model to Predict House Prices

Objective

To create a machine learning model that predicts the price of a house based on factors like size, location, and number of bedrooms.

Tools

Google Colab or Jupyter Notebook
Python programming language
Libraries: pandas, numpy, matplotlib, scikit-learn

Steps

Load the Dataset Use a publicly available dataset, such as the Boston Housing Dataset, or create a custom CSV file with house data.
```
pythonCopiar códigoimport pandas as pd

data = pd.read_csv("housing_data.csv")
print(data.head())
```

Preprocess the Data Clean and prepare the data by removing outliers, filling missing values, and normalizing numerical features.

pythonCopiar código# Handle missing values
data = data.fillna(data.mean())

# Normalize features
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
scaler = StandardScaler()
data_scaled = scaler.fit_transform(data)

Train the Model Implement a linear regression model using scikit-learn.

pythonCopiar códigofrom sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression

X = data[["size", "location_score", "bedrooms"]]
y = data["price"]

X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)

model = LinearRegression()
model.fit(X_train, y_train)

Evaluate the Model Test the model on unseen data and calculate its accuracy.

pythonCopiar códigopredictions = model.predict(X_test)

from sklearn.metrics import mean_squared_error
mse = mean_squared_error(y_test, predictions)
print("Mean Squared Error:", mse)

Outcome

Learn how to handle datasets, train simple models, and interpret predictions, making this a foundational step into AI and machine learning.

Example 2: Create Your First Chatbot

Objective

Build a chatbot that can interact with users, providing predefined responses to questions.

Tools

Python programming language
Libraries: NLTK for natural language processing

Steps

Create a List of Questions and Responses Define a simple dictionary to map user inputs to bot responses.

pythonCopiar códigoresponses = {
    "hello": "Hi there! How can I help you?",
    "bye": "Goodbye! Have a great day!",
    "price": "The price of the product is $50.",
}

Preprocess the Text Data Use NLTK to tokenize and standardize user inputs.

pythonCopiar códigoimport nltk
from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize

def preprocess_input(user_input):
    return word_tokenize(user_input.lower())

Implement the Chatbot Logic Match user inputs with responses.

pythonCopiar códigodef chatbot_response(user_input):
    tokens = preprocess_input(user_input)
    for token in tokens:
        if token in responses:
            return responses[token]
    return "I'm sorry, I don't understand that."

user_input = input("You: ")
print("Bot:", chatbot_response(user_input))

Outcome

Understand the basics of text preprocessing, pattern matching, and interactive user experience, paving the way for building more complex AI systems.

Example 3: Create a Sentiment Analysis Tool

Objective

Analyze the sentiment (positive, neutral, or negative) of text data using a pre-trained machine learning model.

Tools

Python programming language
Libraries: pandas, sklearn, nltk, textblob

Steps

Load and Preprocess Text Data Use a dataset containing text reviews and their sentiments.

pythonCopiar códigodata = pd.read_csv("reviews.csv")
data["cleaned_text"] = data["review"].apply(preprocess_input)

Train a Sentiment Classifier Use sklearn to train a Naive Bayes classifier.

pythonCopiar códigofrom sklearn.feature_extraction.text import CountVectorizer
from sklearn.naive_bayes import MultinomialNB

vectorizer = CountVectorizer()
X = vectorizer.fit_transform(data["cleaned_text"])
y = data["sentiment"]

model = MultinomialNB()
model.fit(X, y)

Test the Model Input new text and predict its sentiment.

pythonCopiar códigotest_text = ["The product is amazing!"]
test_vector = vectorizer.transform(test_text)
prediction = model.predict(test_vector)
print("Sentiment:", prediction)

Outcome

Develop an understanding of natural language processing and machine learning applications in text data.

Example 4: AI Meets Blockchain

Objective

Combine AI and blockchain by building a smart contract that triggers actions based on AI predictions.

Tools

Solidity for smart contract development
Python for AI predictions

Steps

Create a Smart Contract Write a Solidity smart contract to store predictions.

solidityCopiar códigopragma solidity ^0.8.0;

contract PredictionStore {
    string public prediction;

    function setPrediction(string memory _prediction) public {
        prediction = _prediction;
    }
}

Integrate AI Predictions Use Python to call the smart contract after making a prediction.

pythonCopiar códigofrom web3 import Web3

w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider("http://localhost:8545"))
contract = w3.eth.contract(address="0x...", abi=contract_abi)

prediction = "Positive Sentiment"
tx = contract.functions.setPrediction(prediction).transact({"from": "0x..."})

Outcome

Learn to bridge AI with blockchain for powerful, real-world applications.

Practical AI Applications with No-Code Tools

AI development is no longer reserved for those with deep coding knowledge. With the advent of no-code platforms, creating impactful and functional AI applications is more accessible than ever. In this section, we will explore two detailed projects you can create using no-code tools: a Smart Home Helper Chatbot and an AI-Driven Learning Assistant. Each project is designed to provide hands-on experience with AI concepts while addressing real-world needs.
