In contemporary science and engineering applications, the volume of
available data is growing at an enormous rate. Spectral methods
have emerged as a simple yet surprisingly effective approach for
extracting information from massive, noisy and incomplete data. A
diverse array of applications have been found in machine learning,
imaging science, financial and econometric modeling, and signal
processing.This monograph presents a systematic, yet accessible
introduction to spectral methods from a modern statistical
perspective, highlighting their algorithmic implications in diverse
large-scale applications. The authors provide a unified and
comprehensive treatment that establishes the theoretical
underpinnings for spectral methods, particularly through a
statistical lens.Building on years of research experience in the
field, the authors present a powerful framework, called
leave-one-out analysis, that proves effective and versatile for
delivering fine-grained performance guarantees for a variety of
problems. This book is essential reading for all students,
researchers and practitioners working in Data Science.
Civil Engineering Materials: From Theory to Practice presents the
state-of-the-art in civil engineering materials, including the
fundamental theory of materials needed for civil engineering
projects and unique insights from decades of large-scale
construction in China. The title includes the latest advances in
new materials and techniques for civil engineering, showing the
relationship between composition, structure and properties, and
covering ultra-high-performance concrete and self-compacting
concrete developed in China. This book provides comprehensive
coverage of the most commonly used, most advanced materials for use
in civil engineering. This volume consists of eight chapters
covering the fundamentals of materials, inorganic cementing
materials, Portland cement concrete, bricks, blocks and building
mortar, metal, wood, asphalt and polymers.
