Visual Insights: A Practical Guide to Making Sense of Data (The MIT Press)

MIT Press, 2014

A guide to the basics of information visualization that teaches nonprogrammers how to use advanced data mining and visualization techniques to design insightful visualizations.

In the age of Big Data, the tools of information visualization offer us a macroscope to help us make sense of the avalanche of data...

The First Computers--History and Architectures (History of Computing)

MIT Press, 2000

"A cohesive, well-defined discussion of the architecture of early computers."
— Mary Croarken, Business History

"A well-balanced and fascinating perspective on a wide range of early computing devices."
— Nathan Ensmenger, IEEE Spectrum...

Automatic Algorithm Recognition and Replacement: A New Approach to Program Optimization

MIT Press, 2000

Optimizing compilers have a fundamental problem. No matter how powerful their optimizations
are, they are no substitute for good application algorithms. Consider the case of
sorting. For sufficiently large data sets, a merge sort algorithm compiled with a less powerful
optimizer will always out-perform a selection sort algorithm...

Introduction to Algorithms (MIT Electrical Engineering and Computer Science)

MIT Press, 1990

The first edition won the award for Best 1990 Professional and Scholarly Book in Computer Science and Data Processing by the Association of American Publishers. This edition is no longer available. Please see the Second Edition of this title.

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...

Principles of Data Mining (Adaptive Computation and Machine Learning)

MIT Press, 2001

The growing interest in data mining is motivated by a common problem across disciplines: how does one store, access, model, and ultimately describe and understand very large data sets? Historically, different aspects of data mining have been addressed independently by different disciplines. This is the first truly...

Advances in Object-Oriented Data Modeling (Cooperative Information Systems)

MIT Press, 2000

This book focuses on recent developments in representational and processing aspects of complex data-intensive applications.

Focuses on recent developments in representational and processing aspects of object-oriented data modeling, covering hot topics such as reverse engineering and work-flow modeling. Each chapter contains a...

Spinning the Semantic Web: Bringing the World Wide Web to Its Full Potential

MIT Press, 2002

"If you're a technical communicator who works with the World Wide Web (WWW) and would like a glimpse into the Web's future, this collection of articles by Web gurus is for you."

As the World Wide Web continues to expand, it becomes increasingly difficult for users to obtain information efficiently. Because most search...

How to Design Programs: An Introduction to Programming and Computing

MIT Press, 2001

This introduction to programming places computer science in the core of a liberal arts education. Unlike other introductory books, it focuses on the program design process. This approach fosters a variety of skills--critical reading, analytical thinking, creative synthesis, and attention to detail - that are important for everyone, not just future...

Introduction to Algorithms, Second Edition

MIT Press, 2001

The book moves forward with more advanced algorithms that implement strategies for solving more complicated problems (including dynamic programming techniques, greedy algorithms, and amortized analysis). Algorithms for graphing problems (used in such real-world business problems as optimizing flight schedules or flow through pipelines) come next....

American Economic Policy in the 1990s

MIT Press, 2002

The 1990s saw the best economic performance in the United States in three decades. Strong economic growth and falling unemployment were accompanied by low inflation and rising budget surpluses. Although personal bankruptcies climbed, the personal saving rate fell, and the trade deficit expanded, overall, U.S. economic performance during the 1990s...

A Semantic Web Primer

MIT Press, 2004

"A book we have been waiting for: a concise yet detailed introduction into the basic concepts and methods for the Semantic Web."
--Rudi Studer, Institute AIFB, University of Karlsruhe, Germany

"This book is a great introduction to the Semantic Web and in particular to the new languages (RDF Schema and OWL) that have...
