Probabilistic Numerics - Computation as Machine Learning (Hardcover): Philipp Hennig, Michael A. Osborne, Hans P. Kersting Probabilistic Numerics - Computation as Machine Learning (Hardcover)

Probabilistic numerical computation formalises the connection between machine learning and applied mathematics. Numerical algorithms approximate intractable quantities from computable ones. They estimate integrals from evaluations of the integrand, or the path of a dynamical system described by differential equations from evaluations of the vector field. In other words, they infer a latent quantity from data. This book shows that it is thus formally possible to think of computational routines as learning machines, and to use the notion of Bayesian inference to build more flexible, efficient, or customised algorithms for computation. The text caters for Masters' and PhD students, as well as postgraduate researchers in artificial intelligence, computer science, statistics, and applied mathematics. Extensive background material is provided along with a wealth of figures, worked examples, and exercises (with solutions) to develop intuition.

Algorithmic Advances in Riemannian Geometry and Applications - For Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Statistics, and... Algorithmic Advances in Riemannian Geometry and Applications - For Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Statistics, and Optimization (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2016)
Ha Quang Minh, Vittorio Murino
R5,017 Discovery Miles 50 170 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book presents a selection of the most recent algorithmic advances in Riemannian geometry in the context of machine learning, statistics, optimization, computer vision, and related fields. The unifying theme of the different chapters in the book is the exploitation of the geometry of data using the mathematical machinery of Riemannian geometry. As demonstrated by all the chapters in the book, when the data is intrinsically non-Euclidean, the utilization of this geometrical information can lead to better algorithms that can capture more accurately the structures inherent in the data, leading ultimately to better empirical performance. This book is not intended to be an encyclopedic compilation of the applications of Riemannian geometry. Instead, it focuses on several important research directions that are currently actively pursued by researchers in the field. These include statistical modeling and analysis on manifolds,optimization on manifolds, Riemannian manifolds and kernel methods, and dictionary learning and sparse coding on manifolds. Examples of applications include novel algorithms for Monte Carlo sampling and Gaussian Mixture Model fitting, 3D brain image analysis,image classification, action recognition, and motion tracking.

Against Automation Mythologies - Business Science Fiction and the Ruse of the Robots (Paperback): J. Jesse Ramirez Against Automation Mythologies - Business Science Fiction and the Ruse of the Robots (Paperback)
J. Jesse Ramirez
R640 Discovery Miles 6 400 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Inspired by Roland Barthes's practice of "semioclasm" in Mythologies, this book offers a "technoclasm"; a cultural critique of US narratives, discourses, images, and objects that have transformed the politics of automation into statements of fact about the "rise of the robots". Treating automation as an ensemble of technologies and science fictions, this book foregrounds automation's ideologies, exaggerations, failures, and mystifications of the social value of human labor in order to question accepted and prolific automation mythologies. Jesse Ramirez offers a study of automation that recognizes automation as a technosocial project, that uses the tools of cultural studies and history to investigate the narratives and ideologies that often implicitly frame the automation debate, and that concretely and soberly assesses the technologies that have made the headlines. The case studies featured include some of the most widely cited and celebrated automatic technologies, such as the Baxter industrial robot, the self-driving car, and the Watson AI system. An ideal resource for anyone interested in or studying emerging technology and society, automation, Marxist cultural theory, cultural studies, science fiction studies, and the cultural history of technology.

ISICA conferences were one of the ?rst series of international conferences on computational - telligence that combined elements of learning, adaptation, evolution and fuzzy logic to create programs as alternative solutions to arti?cial intelligence. The idea for ISICA came about after Lishan Kang organized an international s- posium on evolutionarycomputation at Wuhan University in 2000. After he was invited to be the Director of the School of Computer Science, China University of Geosciences, he wondered whether he could establish such discussion forums on computational intelligence at China University of Geosciences. With support from his university, the School of Computer Science organizedthe ?rst ISICA in 2005, in which some of the leading ?gures from the scienti?c computing world were invited, including H. -P. Schwefel, Germany, M. Schoenauer, France, D. J. Evans, UK, T. Higuchi, Japan, Z. Michalewicz, Australia, and X. Yao, UK. The Second ISICA was jointly held in 2007 with the 7th International C- ference on Evolvable Systems: From Biology to Hardware (ICES 2007).

'Rana el Kaliouby's vision for how technology should work in parallel with empathy is bold, inspired and hopeful' Arianna Huffington, founder and CEO of Thrive Global 'This lucid and captivating book by a renowned pioneer of emotion-AI tackles one of the most pressing issues of our time: How can we ensure a future where this technology empowers rather than surveils and manipulates us?' Max Tegmark, professor of physics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and author of Life 3.0 We are entering an empathy crisis. Most of our communication is conveyed through non-verbal cues - facial expressions, tone of voice, body language - nuances that are completely lost when we interact through our smartphones and other technology. The result is a digital universe that's emotion-blind - a society lacking in empathy. Rana el Kaliouby discovered this when she left Cairo, a newly-married, Muslim woman, to take up her place at Cambridge University to study computer science. Many thousands of miles from home, she began to develop systems to help her better connect with her family. She started to pioneer the new field of Emotional Intelligence (EI). She now runs her company, Affectiva (the industry-leader in this emerging field) that builds EI into our technology and develops systems that understand humans the way we understand one another. In a captivating memoir, Girl Decoded chronicles el Kaliouby's mission to humanise technology and what she learns about humanity along the way.
