Discover the practical aspects of implementing deep-learning solutions using the rich Python ecosystem. This book bridges the gap between the academic state-of-the-art and the industry state-of-the-practice by introducing you to deep learning frameworks such as Keras, Theano, and Caffe. The practicalities of these frameworks is often...
You can't predict or prevent disasters. That's reality. But with The Disaster Recovery Handbook, you can create a plan to ensure your business will continue and your vital operations, facilities, and assets will be protected. Expect the best. Plan for the worst. Survey the headlines: superstorms, data breaches, pandemics, system...
An authoritative guide to the most significant artists, schools, and styles of street art and graffiti around the world
Painted murals first appeared in Latin America in the early 20th century; in the 1950s, spray-can graffiti associated with Latino gangs followed, notably the “cholo” graffiti of Los...
This book is intended to survey the most important computer algorithms in use today, and to teach fundamental techniques to the growing number of people in need of knowing them. It is intended for use as a textbook for a second course in computer science, after students have acquired basic programming skills and familiarity with computer...
Reinforcement learning encompasses both a science of adaptive behavior of rational beings in uncertain environments and a computational methodology for finding optimal behaviors for challenging problems in control, optimization and adaptive behavior of intelligent agents. As a field, reinforcement learning has progressed tremendously in the...
The Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is a modern graphical display system for Windows. It’s a
radical change from the technologies that came before it, with innovative features such as built-in
hardware acceleration and resolution independence, both of which you’ll explore in this chapter.
Geometric Fundamentals of Robotics provides an elegant introduction to the geometric concepts that are important to applications in robotics. This second edition is still unique in providing a deep understanding of the subject: rather than focusing on computational results in kinematics and robotics, it includes significant state-of-the...
Holcombe, "Survey of Operating Systems, 3e" is 'your foundation for IT Success!' McGraw-Hill is proud to introduce the third edition of Jane and Charles Holcombe's, "Survey of Operating Systems". This edition is a unique revision of the successful previous editions. Every chapter has been updated to include...
Wireless Sensor Networks helps readers discover the emerging field of low-cost standards-based sensors that promise a high order of spatial and temporal resolution and accuracy in an ever-increasing universe of applications. It shares the latest advances in science and engineering paving the way...
Since publication of the first edition in 1992, the field of survey sampling has grown considerably. This new edition of Survey Sampling: Theory and Methods has been updated to include the latest research and the newest methods. The authors have undertaken the daunting task of surveying the sampling literature of the past few decades to provide an...
The authors show that there are underlying mathematical reasons for why games and puzzles are challenging (and perhaps why they are so much fun). They also show that games and puzzles can serve as powerful models of computationâquite different from the usual models of automata and circuitsâoffering a new way of thinking about...
