Practical Artificial Intelligence with Swift: From Fundamental Theory to Development of Ai-Driven Apps
暫譯: 實用人工智慧與 Swift：從基本理論到 AI 驅動應用程式的開發

創建和實現基於人工智慧的功能，使用 Swift 程式語言。這本實用的書籍將為程式設計師、開發者以及具備 C、C++ 知識的人士提供一個關於 AI 和機器學習的全方位資源。

在本書的前兩部分中，您將學習人工智慧的基本理論——這對於任何在此領域工作的開發者來說都是必不可少的——並發現如何在實際應用中使用 Swift。第三部分也是最後一部分，您將探索基於 Swift 的 AI 和機器學習技術在 iOS 應用程式建構中的應用，包括 AI 驅動功能的合理性及其實施方式。

Swift 程式設計師將學習如何使用開源工具，如 Apple 的 Turi Create 和 Google 的 TensorFlow for Swift，來訓練和構建可在 Swift 應用程式中使用的模型。

Marina Rose Geldard, more commonly known as Mars, is a Computer Scientist from Down Under in Tasmania. Entering the world of technology relatively late as a mature-aged student, she has found her place in the world: an industry where she can apply her lifelong love of mathematics and optimisation.

A compulsive volunteer at industry events, Mars also teaches artificial intelligence to first-year ICT students, hikes around in the Tasmanian wilderness, dabbles in research, and builds Game of Thrones in Minecraft.

Mars has been awarded the MJ Rees Prize (for excellence in Information Systems academia) at the University of Tasmania, and is an Apple WWDC Scholarship recipient for 2018. Mars is on the organising committee for Australia's longest running Apple developer event, the /dev/world conference (which is now in its 11th year), and serves on the board for her state's branch of the Australian Computer Society (ACS).

Jon is co-founder and technical lead at Secret Lab, a decade-old game development studio based in Tasmania, Australia. He holds a Bachelor of Computing with First Class Honours and earned a PhD in Computer Science/HCI for his exploration how people manipulate content ranking algorithms in social media.

Secret Lab builds video games and mobile apps, including original game concepts and games under contract for other developers and publishers. Secret Lab is best known for their work on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Play School games, the Qantas Joey Playbox, and Night in the Woods. Secret Lab's work has won numerous Tasmania, Australian, and international awards, including BAFTA awards, IGF awards, AIMIA awards, iAwards, and TasICT awards.

Jon formerly worked as a Software Engineering at Meebo, a groundbreaking Silicon Valley 'Web 2.0' startup that was acquired by Google, and has co-authored more than 20 technical books for iconic publishers, such as O'Reilly Media and Wiley's For Dummies, on a variety of topics such as game design, mobile development, and rocket science.

Jon and his Secret Lab co-founder, Paris, were jointly awarded the 2010 Pearcey Award for innovative achievements within the ICT industry. Jon sits on the board of the Australasian Apple University Consortium, and is on the organising committee of Australia's longest running Apple developer event, the /dev/world conference (which is now in its 11th year).Jon lives in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, and can be found on Twitter (@desplesda)

Paris Buttfield-Addison is a producer and co-founder at Secret Lab, a mobile development studio based in beautiful Hobart, Australia. Secret Lab builds games for mobile devices, and primarily for children, such as the AIMIA winning (2014) ABC Play School apps for iPad.

Paris formerly worked with Meebo (which was acquired by Google) as mobile product manager. He has a BA in History, and a PhD in Computing/HCI, and has written nearly a dozen technical, game design, and mobile development books, mostly for O'Reilly Media.

Paris can be found on Twitter @parisba. He still thinks digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

Tim Nugent pretends to be a mobile app developer, game designer, PhD student, and now he even pretends to be an author. When he isn't busy avoiding being found out as a fraud, he spends most of his time designing and creating little apps and games he won't let anyone see. Tim spent a disproportionately long time writing this tiny little bio, most of which was spent trying to stick a witty sci-fi reference in, before he simply gave up. Tim can be found as @The_McJones on Twitter.

Marina Rose Geldard，通常被稱為 Mars，是來自澳洲塔斯馬尼亞的計算機科學家。作為一名成熟的學生，她相對較晚進入科技領域，卻在這個行業中找到了自己的位置：一個可以應用她對數學和優化的終身熱愛的行業。

Mars 是行業活動的熱心志工，還教授人工智慧給一年級的資訊與通信技術（ICT）學生，並在塔斯馬尼亞的荒野中健行，從事研究，並在 Minecraft 中建造《權力的遊戲》。

Mars 獲得了塔斯馬尼亞大學的 MJ Rees 獎（資訊系統學術卓越獎），並且是 2018 年 Apple WWDC 獎學金的獲得者。Mars 是澳洲歷史最悠久的 Apple 開發者活動 /dev/world 會議的組織委員會成員（該會議目前已進入第 11 年），並在她所在州的澳洲計算機協會（ACS）董事會任職。

Jon 是 Secret Lab 的共同創辦人和技術負責人，這是一家成立十年的遊戲開發工作室，位於澳洲塔斯馬尼亞。他擁有一級榮譽計算學學士學位，並獲得計算機科學/人機互動（HCI）博士學位，研究人們如何操控社交媒體中的內容排名算法。

Secret Lab 開發視頻遊戲和移動應用，包括原創遊戲概念以及為其他開發者和出版商承包的遊戲。Secret Lab 最著名的作品包括澳洲廣播公司（ABC）的 Play School 遊戲、Qantas Joey Playbox 和 Night in the Woods。Secret Lab 的作品獲得了多項塔斯馬尼亞、澳洲及國際獎項，包括 BAFTA 獎、IGF 獎、AIMIA 獎、iAwards 和 TasICT 獎。

Jon 曾在 Meebo 擔任軟體工程師，這是一家開創性的矽谷「Web 2.0」初創公司，後來被 Google 收購。他共同撰寫了超過 20 本技術書籍，為 O'Reilly Media 和 Wiley's For Dummies 等知名出版商，涵蓋遊戲設計、移動開發和火箭科學等多個主題。

Tim Nugent 假裝自己是一名移動應用開發者、遊戲設計師、博士生，現在甚至假裝自己是一名作家。當他不忙於避免被發現是騙子時，他大部分時間都在設計和創建一些他不會讓任何人看到的小應用和遊戲。Tim 花了不成比例的長時間來撰寫這段小小的自我介紹，其中大部分時間都在試圖加入一個機智的科幻參考，最後他乾脆放棄了。Tim 可以在 Twitter 上找到 @The_McJones。
