On the Brink of Paradox: Highlights from the Intersection of Philosophy and Mathematics (The MIT Press)

MIT Press, 2019

An introduction to awe-inspiring ideas at the brink of paradox: infinities of different sizes, time travel, probability and measure theory, and computability theory.

This award-winning book introduces the reader to awe-inspiring issues at the intersection of philosophy and mathematics. It explores ideas at the...

Learning Machine Translation (Neural Information Processing)

MIT Press, 2009

The Internet gives us access to a wealth of information in languages we don't understand. The investigation of automated or semi-automated approaches to translation has become a thriving research field with enormous commercial potential. This volume investigates how machine learning techniques can improve statistical machine translation, currently...

Moving Innovation: A History of Computer Animation (MIT Press)

MIT Press, 2013

Computer graphics (or CG) has changed the way we experience the art of moving images. Computer graphics is the difference between Steamboat Willie and Buzz Lightyear, between ping pong and PONG. It began in 1963 when an MIT graduate student named Ivan Sutherland created Sketchpad, the first true computer animation program. Sutherland...

Game Sound: An Introduction to the History, Theory, and Practice of Video Game Music and Sound Design

MIT Press, 2008

"Collins has written a truly encyclopedic work that wonderfully complements books on sound design in film, helping anyone in the audiovisual industry who desires to expand more confidently into teaching, designing, and producing audio in the gaming world. This book provides fascinating insights about how game audio can enhance player...

2D Object Detection and Recognition: Models, Algorithms, and Networks

MIT Press, 2002

This book is about detecting and recognizing 2D objects in gray-level images. Howare
models constructed? Howare they trained? What are the computational approaches to
efficient implementation on a computer? And finally, how can some of these computations
be implemented in the framework of parallel and biologically plausible neural...

Introduction to Algorithms, Third Edition

MIT Press, 2009

Some books on algorithms are rigorous but incomplete; others cover masses of material but lack rigor. Introduction to Algorithms uniquely combines rigor and comprehensiveness. The book covers a broad range of algorithms in depth, yet makes their design and analysis accessible to all levels of readers. Each chapter is relatively...

Introduction to Machine Learning (Adaptive Computation and Machine Learning)

MIT Press, 2004

The goal of machine learning is to program computers to use example data or past experience to solve a given problem. Many successful applications of machine learning exist already, including systems that analyze past sales data to predict customer behavior, recognize faces or spoken speech, optimize robot behavior so that a task can be completed...

New Directions in Statistical Signal Processing: From Systems to Brains (Neural Information Processing)

MIT Press, 2006

Signal processing and neural computation have separately and significantly influenced many disciplines, but the cross-fertilization of the two fields has begun only recently. Research now shows that each has much to teach the other, as we see highly sophisticated kinds of signal processing and elaborate hierachical levels of neural computation...

Molecular Computing

MIT Press, 2003

This text covers abstract principles of molecular computing and the building of actual systems. Topics include the use of proteins and other molecules for information processing, molecular recognition, computation in nonlinear media, and more.

The next great change in computer science and information technology will come from mimicking...
