 Constraint Networks: Targeting Simplicity for Techniques and Algorithms
A major challenge in constraint programming is to develop efficient generic approaches to solve instances of the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP). With this aim in mind, this book provides an accessible synthesis of the author's research and work in this area, divided into four main topics: representation, inference, search, and... | | Machine Learning for Hackers
To explain the perspective from which this book was written, it will be helpful to define
the terms machine learning and hackers.
What is machine learning? At the highest level of abstraction, we can think of machine
learning as a set of tools and methods that attempt to infer patterns and extract insight
from a record of the... | | The Art of R Programming: A Tour of Statistical Software Design
R is the world's most popular language for developing statistical software: Archaeologists use it to track the spread of ancient civilizations, drug companies use it to discover which medications are safe and effective, and actuaries use it to assess financial risks and keep economies running smoothly.
