 Название: Artificial Intelligence in application: Legal aspects, application potentials and use scenarios
Автор: Thomas Barton, Christian Muller
Издательство: Springer
Год: 2024
Страниц: 197
Язык: английский
Формат: pdf (true), epub
Размер: 15.0 MB
The book shows application potentials of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in various industries and presents application scenarios on how a practical implementation can take place. The starting point is the description of legal aspects, which includes a European regulation for Artificial Intelligence and addresses the question of the permissibility of automated decisions. The description of various application potentials, mostly industry-related, and the presentation of some application scenarios form the focus of the topic volume. Four mobility scenarios, in which cars are privately owned or shared on the one hand and are driven by a driver or move autonomously on the other, are changing the most important business processes in the automotive trade, such as car sales, maintenance, repairs and used car purchases. In all processes, application scenarios for the Artificial Intelligence (AI) subfields computer vision, natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning can be identified. The analysis shows that the current degree of implementation varies widely, from the already widespread predictive maintenance in maintenance, to the first approaches of computer vision for diagnosis in repair and used car purchase, to the still novel use of chatbots in consulting and Machine Learning in recommendation processes. For car dealers, the question arises of specialization, e.g. as a service factory or for the fleet management of a mobility service provider, each of which requires different AI scenarios. The book is based on the question of how Artificial Intelligence can be used in entrepreneurial practice. It offers important information that is just as relevant for practitioners as for students and teachers. | |

 Название: Numbers and Functions : Theory, Formulation, and Python Codes
Автор: G.R. Liu
Издательство: World Scientific Publishing
Год: 2024
Страниц: 226
Язык: английский
Формат: pdf (true)
Размер: 38.1 MB
This unique volume covers two fundamental elements of computational methods — numbers and functions. It provides an in-depth discussion of the behaviors of numbers, including both real and complex numbers. The discussion leads to the important closure properties of numbers, ensuring solution consistence and existence, and also possible failure in numerical computations in science and engineering.This text then introduces types of functions that take numbers as independent variables and produce a single number. Approaches for constructing inverse functions are also provided. Frequently used basis functions are introduced, with detailed studies on their properties and behaviors. Techniques are presented for constructing basis functions and their use in function approximation in computational methods. Taking advantage of the fast development of computer hardware and software, our discussions will largely be accompanied by computer codes, so that the concepts, theories, and formulations can be immediately demonstrated using examples with results plotted. We will use primarily Python in the first handful of volumes on more fundamental topics and possibly other suitable languages for more advanced topics. Python codes are used because they are currently, and in the foreseeable time, the most popular and easy-to-use tool. The idea is to break down all these difficult topics into simpler ones and conquere one by one immediately using the codes provided. As Python codes are provided, readers can easily see how the theory is formulated and how the solutions are obtained in terms of formulas, numbers, and graphs. Readers may also deepen their understanding via playing with codes and even further develop his/her own codes for solving other related problems. The book is written in Jupyter Notebook format, so that description of theory, formulation, derivation, and coding can all be done in a unified document. | |

 Название: Programming Language Explorations, 2nd Edition
Автор: Ray Toal, Sage Strieker, Marco Berardini
Издательство: CRC Press
Год: 2024
Страниц: 408
Язык: английский
Формат: pdf (true)
Размер: 13.4 MB
Programming Language Explorations helps its readers gain proficiency in programming language practice and theory by presenting both example-focused, chapter-length explorations of fourteen important programming languages and detailed discussions of the major concepts transcending multiple languages. A language-by-language approach is sandwiched between an introductory chapter that motivates and lays out the major concepts of the field and a final chapter that brings together all that was learned in the middle chapters into a coherent and organized view of the field. Each of the featured languages in the middle chapters is introduced with a common trio of example programs and followed by a tour of its basic language features and coverage of interesting aspects from its type system, functional forms, scoping rules, concurrency patterns, and metaprogramming facilities. These chapters are followed by a brief tour of over 40 additional languages designed to enhance the reader’s appreciation of the breadth of the programming language landscape and to motivate further study. We’ve carefully chosen the order of languages to make a story out of the book. We start with Lua for its elegant design and relatively small but powerful feature set. javascript follows with similar features to Lua (such as first class functions and prototypal inheritance), while adding a host of modern features and a powerful event-driven, asynchronous programming model. As perhaps the world’s most popular language, javascript has influenced hundreds of successors, the most popular of which, TypeScript, comes next, along with an introduction to static types. The next two languages, Python and Ruby, are general-purpose scripting languages, in which we focus on first-class types and object-oriented programming, respectively. We then encounter Java, an extraordinarily popular language in the enterprise computing space. | |

 Название: Bayesian Machine Learning in Geotechnical Site Characterization
Автор: Jianye Ching
Издательство: CRC Press
Год: 2025
Страниц: 189
Язык: английский
Формат: pdf (true)
Размер: 27.1 MB
Bayesian data analysis and modelling linked with Machine Learning (ML) offers a new tool for handling geotechnical data. This book presents recent advancements made by the author in the area of probabilistic geotechnical site characterization. Two types of correlation play central roles in geotechnical site characterization: cross-correlation among soil properties and spatial-correlation in the underground space. The book starts with the introduction of Bayesian notion of probability “degree of belief”, showing that well-known probability axioms can be obtained by Boolean logic and the definition of plausibility function without the use of the notion “relative frequency”. It then reviews probability theories and useful probability models for cross-correlation and spatial correlation. Methods for Bayesian parameter estimation and prediction are also presented, and the use of these methods demonstrated with geotechnical site characterization examples. Bayesian Machine Learning in Geotechnical Site Characterization suits consulting engineers and graduate students in the area. | |
