Understand the basic ideas behind AI without the need of math or previous knowledge.
What is EasyAI
EasyAI is a book that aims to explain artificial intelligence applied to language in a compact, non-technical and minimalist way. The goal is to empower the next generation of language professionals with knowledge of the latest developments in natural language processing and artificial intelligence.
The book is tailored to a heterogeneous and non-specialist target audience from the humanities, in particular students in the fields of translation, interpreting, linguistics, journalism and cultural studies. It aims to provide both high-level theoretical knowledge - e.g. what is machine learning and how it works - and applied knowledge - e.g. how to avoid racial bias in language models - in self-contained chapters, with no mathematics or computational background.
The book is an ongoing effort. New content and updates are planned on a regular basis.
