Methods for Mining and Summarizing Text Conversations (Synthesis Lecture on Data Management)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2011

Before the invention of the Internet and the creation of the Web, the vast majority of human conversations were in spoken form, with the only notable, but extremely limited, exception being epistolary exchanges. Some important spoken conversations, such as criminal trials and political debates (e.g., Hansard, the transcripts of...

Human Computation (Synthesis Lectures on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2011

Human computation is a new and evolving research area that centers around harnessing human intelligence to solve computational problems that are beyond the scope of existing Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms. With the growth of the Web, human computation systems can now leverage the abilities of an unprecedented number of people via the...

Lectures in Game Theory for Computer Scientists

Cambridge University Press, 2011

Game playing is a powerful metaphor that fits many situations where interaction between autonomous agents plays a central role. Numerous tasks in computer science, such as design, synthesis, verification, testing, query evaluation, planning, etc. can be formulated in game-theoretic terms. Viewing them abstractly as games reveals the...

Information Visualization in Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery

Morgan Kaufmann, 2001

Mainstream data mining techniques significantly limit the role of human reasoning and insight. Likewise, in data visualization, the role of computational analysis is relatively small. The power demonstrated individually by these approaches to knowledge discovery suggests that somehow uniting the two could lead to increased efficiency and more...

Software and Compilers for Embedded Systems: 8th International Workshop, SCOPES 2004

Springer, 2004

This volume contains the proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Software and Compilers for Embedded Systems (SCOPES 2004) held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, on September 2 and 3, 2004. Initially, the workshop was referred to as the International Workshop on Code Generation for Embedded Systems. The first took place in 1994 in...

Hydrocarbon Chemistry, Second Edition

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

Seven years passed since the publication of the first edition of our book. It is rewarding that the favorable reception of and interest in hydrocarbon chemistry called for a second edition. All chapters were updated (generally considering literature through 2001) by adding sections on recent developments to review new advances and results. Two new...

$Diffraction, Fourier Optics and Imaging (Wiley Series in Pure and Applied Optics)$

Diffraction, Fourier Optics and Imaging (Wiley Series in Pure and Applied Optics)

John Wiley & Sons, 2006

Learn Fourier and diffractive optics through examples and computer simulation

This book presents current theories of diffraction, imaging, and related topics based on Fourier analysis and synthesis techniques, which are essential for understanding, analyzing, and synthesizing modern imaging, optical communications and...

The Ethics of Computer Games

MIT Press, 2009

Despite the emergence of computer games as a dominant cultural industry (and the accompanying emergence of computer games as the subject of scholarly research), we know little or nothing about the ethics of computer games. Considerations of the morality of computer games seldom go beyond intermittent portrayals of them in the mass media as training...

XML Retrieval (Synthesis Lectures on Information Concepts, Retrieval & Services)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2009

Documents usually have a content and a structure. The content refers to the text of the document, whereas the structure refers to how a document is logically organized. An increasingly common way to encode the structure is through the use of a mark-up language. Nowadays, the most widely used mark-up language for representing structure is the...

Logic Synthesis for Compositional Microprogram Control Units (Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering)

Springer, 2008

The control unit is one of the most important parts of any digital system. As a rule, control units have an irregular structure, which makes the processing of their logic circuits design very sophisticated. One possible way to optimise such characteristics as the size or performance of control units is to adapt their structures to the particular...

Introduction to Wireless Local Loop (Artech House Telecommunications Library)

Artech House Publishers, 1998

Here's a comprehensive, easy-to-understand guide to the underlying technologies, key selection criteria, and design and deployment processes behind wireless local loop (WLL) systems. This one-source reference helps technical professionals develop a sound understanding of WLL system design procedures, and provides practical guidance on choosing the...

The Iliad

Richer Resources Publications, 2006

"Ian Johnston provides his readers with a clear and comprehensible translation of the Iliad that presents itself as a dynamic equivalent of the Greek original. Johnston captures the text with an eye to both accuracry and his modern readership." --- Dr. Andrew Porter, University of Missouri-Columbia

"Johnston's translation...
