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...

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 AI Business: The Commercial Uses of Artificial Intelligence

MIT Press, 1984

What is the bottom line on Artificial Intelligence? The AI Business offers a comprehensive summary of the commercial picture, present and future, for Artificial Intelligence in the computer industry, medicine, the oil industry, and electronic design. AI's brightest and best - financiers, researchers, and users - analyze current...

3D Model Recognition from Stereoscopic Cues (Artificial Intelligence Series)

MIT Press, 1991

3D Model Recognition from Stereoscopic Cues provides a rich, integrated account of work done within a large-scale, multisite, Alvey-funded collaborative project in computer vision. It presents a variety of methods for deriving surface descriptions from stereoscopic data and for matching those descriptions to three-dimensional models...

Principles of Model Checking

MIT Press, 2008

Our growing dependence on increasingly complex computer and software systems necessitates the development of formalisms, techniques, and tools for assessing functional properties of these systems. One such technique that has emerged in the last twenty years is model checking, which systematically (and automatically) checks whether a model of a...

Foundations of Robotics: Analysis and Control

MIT Press, 1990

Foundations of Robotics presents the fundamental concepts and methodologies for the analysis, design, and control of robot manipulators. It explains the physical meaning of the concepts and equations used, and it provides, in an intuitively clear way, the necessary background in kinetics, linear algebra, and control theory....

Building IBM: Shaping an Industry and Its Technology

MIT Press, 1995

Beginning with the company's origins in the punched-card technology of the late nineteenth century, this wellresearched volume tells how IBM became so rapidly the dominant company in the computer industry. In doing so, it provides refreshing new insights on the origins and development of that industry.

The unique...

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...

Machine Translation (MIT Press Essential Knowledge series)

MIT Press, 2017

A concise, nontechnical overview of the development of machine translation, including the different approaches, evaluation issues, and major players in the industry. About the Author Thierry Poibeau is Director of

Research at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Paris, Head of the LATTICE (Langues, Textes,...

Computability: Turing, Gödel, Church, and Beyond

MIT Press, 2013

In the 1930s a series of seminal works published by Alan Turing, Kurt Gödel, Alonzo Church, and others established the theoretical basis for computability. This work, advancing precise characterizations of effective, algorithmic computability, was the culmination of intensive investigations into the foundations of mathematics. In the...

The Coming Generational Storm: What You Need to Know about America's Economic Future

MIT Press, 2004

In 2030, as 77 million baby boomers hobble into old age, walkers will outnumber strollers; there will be twice as many retirees as there are today but only 18 percent more workers. How will America handle this demographic overload? How will Social Security and Medicare function with fewer working taxpayers to support these programs? According to...

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...
