A major part of natural language processing now depends on the use of text data to build linguistic analyzers. We consider statistical, computational approaches to modeling linguistic structure. We seek to unify across many approaches and many kinds of linguistic structures. Assuming a basic understanding of natural language processing and/or...
A Proven Development Methodology That Delivers On the Promise of Model-Based Approaches
Software continues to become more and more complex, while software consumers’ expectations for performance, reliability, functionality, and speed-to-market are also growing exponentially. H. S. Lahman shows how...
As it turns out Bennis underestimated the impact that bad leadership
can have. A combination of greed, hubris, flawed judgment, and miscalculation
has made the Enron debacle seem almost quaint by comparison
to the global financial crisis that we now face. Although numerous pundits
and scholars have advanced many reasons for the...
Thank you for picking up a copy of this book. Amazon Elastic Beanstalk is one of
Amazon AWS’s services. It offers a platform for easy deployment of web applications.
The first version of Elastic Beanstalk handles Java applications running in a Tomcat
container. Deploying an application has been made as easy as uploading your WAR...
"The security of information systems has not improved at a rate consistent with the growth and sophistication of the attacks being made against them. To address this problem, we must improve the underlying strategies and techniques used to create our systems. Specifically, we must build security in from the start, rather than append...
Congratulations! Your purchase of this book shows that you are a highly motivated student. You want as much out of your HTML class as possible. This book will help you to become the best HTML developer possible.
Hard stuff made easy! Your practical, self-paced guide to HTML and XHTML
Soft computing, as a collection of techniques exploiting approximation and tolerance for imprecision and uncertainty in traditionally intractable problems, has become very effective and popular especially because of the synergy derived from its components. The integration of constituent technologies provides complementary methods that allow...
I knew the Internet before it got famous. There were places but no paths, no
maps, no search engines. Entry required a key in the form of an IP address
and an incantation in the language of UNIX. It was a small world that felt big
because it was so easy to get lost in the shadowy realm of texts and data, completely
devoid of color....
Parallel hardware has been ubiquitous for some time now. It’s difficult to find a laptop,
desktop, or server that doesn’t use a multicore processor. Beowulf clusters are
nearly as common today as high-powered workstations were during the 1990s, and
cloud computing could make distributed-memory systems as accessible as...
For developers of computer-based systems, capturing and understanding the complex
functional requirements and behaviour of software components has come to
represent a considerable challenge. This book aims to equip readers with skills and
techniques which will help them to address this challenge. It does so by stressing
the value of...
This book contains 71 original, scientific articles that address state-of-the-art
research related to scale space and variational methods for image processing and
computer vision. Topics covered in the book range from mathematical analysis
of both established and new models, fast numerical methods, image analysis,
segmentation,...
The aim of software engineering is to find methods for developing high quahty
software products at a reasonable cost. As more and more computers are being used
in areas in which a malfunction of the system can be a source of serious losses or
disturbances to the functioning of the society, the quality of software becomes more
and more...
