Baidu. How a Chinese search engine beat Google with artificial intelligence (Artifical Intelligence Revolution. How AI Will Change our Society, Economy, and Culture)

I read this book in a few days. 2017 About Baidu by Robin Lee, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors. I can say that it raises an interesting topic, but the translation into Russian is simply terrible.

This is the book by Terrence Sajnowski. Anthology of machine learning (The Deep Learning Revolution) on 2 It is more easily and interestingly translated.
