This is the first comprehensive introduction to Support Vector Machines (SVMs), a new generation learning system based on recent advances in statistical learning theory. SVMs deliver state-of-the-art performance in real-world applications such as text categorisation, hand-written character recognition, image classification, biosequences...
There are two kinds of cryptography in this world: cryptography that will stop your kid sister from
reading your files, and cryptography that will stop major governments from reading your files. This
book is about the latter.
If I take a letter, lock it in a safe, hide the safe somewhere in New York, then tell you to read the...
When I fi rst started using Photoshop, it was a much simpler program
to get to grips with compared with what we see today. Since then
Adobe Photoshop CS5 has evolved to supply photographers with
all the tools they need. My aim is to provide you with a working
photographer’s perspective of what Photoshop CS5 can do and how to...
This book is about the use of techniques and tools for the design and implementation
of computer systems and software that are free from logical or functional flaws
(in the sense of functional requirements). The word rigorous in the title of this book
is justified by the fact that the arguments for such fault freeness have their roots...
These Lecture Notes are based on a series of lectures I gave at the Linkoping University
Department of Electrical Engineering in 1988. In these lectures 1 tried to give an overview
of the theory of representation of compact groups and some applications in the fields of
image science and pattern recognition.
Welcome to Fundamentals of Python. This text is intended for a complete, firstyear
study of programming and problem-solving. It covers the material taught in
typical Computer Science 1 and Computer Science 2 courses (CS1 and CS2) at
the undergraduate level.
In FUNDAMENTALS OF PYTHON: FROM FIRST PROGRAMS THROUGH DATA...
An important aspect of teaching a course in compiler writing is to illustrate
the key theoretical concepts normally taught in such a course. A frequently used
strategy for achieving this goal is to have a student design a simple programming
language and implement a compiler for this language. Many texts in compiler
writing do not,...
The recent remarkable developments of interior point algorithms began in 1984 with
Karmarkar's polynomial-time interior point algorithm for linear programs using a log-
arithmic potential function and a projective transformation. The progress has been
made so rapidly and extensively that it seems difficult to get a comprehensive...
Using mathematical tools from number theory and finite fields, Applied Algebra: Codes, Ciphers, and Discrete Algorithms, Second Edition presents practical methods for solving problems in data security and data integrity. It is designed for an applied algebra course for students who have had prior classes in abstract or linear...
Microsoft Word 2010 Complete, part of the Origins Series, provides a thorough introduction of Microsoft Word 2010 skills to beginning learners. This text includes features that make learning easy and enjoyable, yet challenging for students. Students will be engaged with activities that range from simulations to case studies that challenge and...
The New Perspectives Series’ critical-thinking, problem-solving approach is the ideal way
to prepare students to transcend point-and-click skills and take advantage of all that
Microsoft Office 2010 has to offer.
In developing the New Perspectives Series, our goal was to create books that give students
the software...
