The process of inductive inference—to infer general laws and principles from particular instances—is the basis of statistical modeling, pattern recognition, and machine learning. The Minimum Descriptive Length (MDL) principle, a powerful method of inductive inference, holds that the best explanation, given a limited set of observed...
The development of pattern recognition methods on the basis of so-called Markov
models is tightly coupled to the technological progress in the field of automatic
speech recognition. Today, however, Markov chain and hidden Markov models are
also applied in many other fields where the task is the modeling and analysis of
chronologically...
Low-cost and high-performing, with a massively diverse range of uses and applications, the Raspberry Pi is set to revolutionize the way we think about computing and programming.

Molecular Plant Immunity provides an integrated look at both well-established and emerging concepts in plant disease resistance providing the most current information on this important vitally important topic within plant biology. Understanding the molecular basis of the plant immune system has implications on the development of new...
This book offers unique and valuable contributions to the field. It offers breadth and inclusiveness. Most existing works on automotive painting cover only a single aspect of this complex topic, such as the chemistry of paint or paint booth technology. Monozukuri and Hitozukuri are Japanese terms that can be translated as “making...
Have you ever found that you get to the end of a programming book and think, “Great, now I know the syntax, but where do I actually start with building something for real?” Have you ever tried to apply a technique from a book and quickly discovered that things are far more complicated when you are actually...
"The core principles of Knowledge Management are an integral part of every corporate culture. Daily we perform aspects of knowledge management without realizing the source, benefits, or fully understanding the underlying process. With this book, Stankosky illustrates an easy to use framework to link elements from multiple sources into a...
Information is power - you know that. But, how do you research the best Disaster Recovery strategies, without spending too much of your time (and money) on it? The average person earns $ 1100 per week, which equates to $ 27 per hour. Trying to do the research yourself would take you at least 5 hours to come up with the best information, AND...
Computers play an increasingly important role in our society. A breakdown of all
computer systems would cause a breakdown of almost all activities of daily life.
Furthermore, personal computers are available in almost every home in the industrialized
world. But there is one sector where computers have a more strategic role, and
that...
Since antiquity, mercy has been regarded as a virtue. The power of monarchs was legitimated by their acts of clemency, their mercy demonstrating their divine nature. Yet by the end of the eighteenth century, mercy had become “an injustice committed against society . . ....
Software has become omnipresent and vital in our information-based society, so all software producers should assume responsibility for its reliability. While "reliable" originally assumed implementations that were effective and mainly error-free, additional issues like adaptability and maintainability have gained equal importance...
