Daten werden uberall gesammelt. Jeder Kauf, ob online oder offline, jede Autofahrt und jede Benutzung des Smartphones erzeugt Daten, die gespeichert werden. So entstehen Datenberge, die in atemberaubendem Tempo wachsen - fur 2020 geht man von 40 Billionen Gigabytes aus. Aber was passiert dann mit diesen Daten? Wie werden sie ausgewertet? Und wer macht das? Holger Aust nimmt Sie mit auf einen unterhaltsamen Ausflug in die wunderbare Welt der Data Science. Sein Buch richtet sich an alle, die schon immer wissen wollten, wie Maschinen anhand von Daten lernen und ob sie dadurch (kunstliche) Intelligenz erlangen. Sie erfahren naturlich auch, was neuronale Netze und Deep Learning eigentlich mit all dem zu tun haben. In leicht verstandlichem Stil erhalten Sie ausserdem Einblicke in die Funktionsweise der wichtigsten Algorithmen und lernen konkrete Beispiele, Herausforderungen und Risiken aus der Praxis kennen: Sie erfahren etwa, wie Mobilfunkanbieter ihre Kunden bei Laune halten, wie Erdbebenvorhersage funktioniert und warum auch Computer zum Schubladendenken neigen.

2013 Reprint of 1949 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This is the second book by Norbert Wiener on time series and communication engineering. While the first one, "Cybernetics," treated the subject from a general standpoint and was more philosophical than mathematical, the present volume is more technical than theoretical, and forms a kind of companion piece to the first. It is intended as a tool for engineers working in the field of electrical communication and related subjects. The book consists of an introduction, five chapters, and three appendices. After explaining the general outline of the problem in the introduction, the author gives in Chapter I a review of generalized harmonic analysis which is necessary for the understanding of the following chapters. Chapters II and III are devoted to the problems of prediction and filtering respectively. In Chapter IV there is given a brief account of the theory of multiple prediction, that is, the theory of prediction when we deal with more than one time series at the same time. Finally, in Chapter V there is given a short discussion on the application of similar methods to a problem of approximate differentiation.

This book analyzes the methods, technologies, standards, and languages to structure and describe data in their entirety. It reveals common features, hidden assumptions, and ubiquitous patterns among these methods and shows how data are actually structured and described independently from particular trends and technologies.

Examples of data structuring methods analyzed critically include: Encodings (e.g. Unicode) Identifiers and Identifier systems (e.g. ISBN) File systems Database Systems (record databases, relational databases, NoSQL...) Data structuring languages (JSON, XML, CSV, RDF...) markup languages (SGML, HTML, TEI, Markdown...) Schema languages (BNF, XSD, RDFS, OWL, SQL...) Conceptual modeling languages (ERM, ORM, UML, DSL...) Conceptual diagrams

It is shown how particular method of data structuring and description can best be categorized by their primary purpose. The study further exposes five basic paradigms that deeply shape how data is structured and described in practice. The third results is a pattern language of data structuring. Patterns show problems and solutions which occur over and over again in data. Each pattern is described with its benefits, consequences, pitfalls, and relations to other patterns.

The results can help to better understand data and its actual forms, both for consumption and creation of data. Possible applications include data analysis, data modeling, data archaeology, and data literacy.

"Using its interdisciplinary approach, Informationalism is a major contribution to our understanding of the interaction of technology and its economic impact on contemporary life. In achieving this, it is one of the break-through scholarly works of the 21st Century. It educates about the dynamics of the gains-in-profits vs. the exploitation-of-surplus-labor in the production process within the current Age-of-Information management arrangement. In doing this, it also provides an historical analysis to compare the two distinct modes (management and production) in the systems of the past Industrial and the contemporary Age-of-Information structures. This is accompanied by an incisive critique of the surplus-labor exploitation mechanisms in both periods." Dr. Charles S. J. White, American University, Washington, D.C.

This book offers contributions from Nicholas Chrisman, Andrew Frank, and Dan Sui with their perspectives on engagements with fundamental principles in Geographic Information Science (GIScience). Michael Goodchild offers an afterword and Waldo Tobler contributes a preface. The book is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate student readers.

A theoretical examination of the surprising emergence of software as a guiding metaphor for our neoliberal world. New media thrives on cycles of obsolescence and renewal: from celebrations of cyber-everything to Y2K, from the dot-com bust to the next big things-mobile mobs, Web 3.0, cloud computing. In Programmed Visions, Wendy Hui Kyong Chun argues that these cycles result in part from the ways in which new media encapsulates a logic of programmability. New media proliferates "programmed visions," which seek to shape and predict-even embody-a future based on past data. These programmed visions have also made computers, based on metaphor, metaphors for metaphor itself, for a general logic of substitutability. Chun argues that the clarity offered by software as metaphor should make us pause, because software also engenders a profound sense of ignorance: who knows what lurks behind our smiling interfaces, behind the objects we click and manipulate? The combination of what can be seen and not seen, known (knowable) and not known-its separation of interface from algorithm and software from hardware-makes it a powerful metaphor for everything we believe is invisible yet generates visible, logical effects, from genetics to the invisible hand of the market, from ideology to culture.

Precharge logic is used by a variety of industries in applications where processor speed is the primary goal, such as VLSI (very large systems integration) applications. Also called dynamic logic, this type of design uses a clock to synchronize instructions in circuits. This comprehensive book covers the challenges faced by designers when using this logic style, including logic basics, timing, noise considerations, alternative topologies and more. In addition advanced topics such as skew tolerant design are covered in some detail. Overall this is a comprehensive view of precharge logic, which should be useful to graduate students and designers in the field alike. It might also be considered as a supplemental title for courses covering VLSI.
Comprehensive guide to precharge logicExplains both the advantages and disadvantages to help engineers decide when to utilize precharge logicUseful for engineers in a variety of industries

The Triadic Continuum is the invention of Jane Mazzagatti, a mathematician and software engineer. Mazzagatti came upon the idea for this new computer data structure, which is based on the work of Charles Peirce, while working on a project for Unisys Corporation. This same structure has proven commercially valuable in the efficient way it stores and allows for the analysis of large datasets. However, while learning about the nature of the structure she discovered more far-reaching implications to areas other than computer science. Charles Peirce was fascinated with how the mind reasons and with all of the scientific and philosophical implications of the mechanisms of how the brain records experience, constructs memories, and accesses previously stored experience and knowledge. Mazzagatti believes that she has rediscovered the structure of the Triadic Continuum, which is the foundation of many of Peirce's key theories dealing with human reasoning and the logic of thought. In this book the author, who worked with Mazzagatti writing patents for the invention, explains how this structure is unlike any other computer data structure or type of Artificial Intelligence-but more importantly why this structure may very well be a model for human cognition.
