'Both moving and entertaining, George Lang's absorbing
autobiography draws the reader into an extraordinarily rich life
filled with talent, wonder, and passion: an example of how torment
can be transformed into beauty."-Elie Wiesel 'A heartfelt, funny,
moving story of survival. A great read."-Paul Newman 'Anyone
reading this remarkable memoir will understand why George Lang
remains not only one of New York's great restaurateurs but one of
its most vibrant citizens as well."-David Halberstam 'A book to
savor, relish, smack one's lips over, and profoundly
appreciate."-William Safire 'You don't need to be Hungarian to
enjoy this book."-George Soros 'George Lang's success story, so
brilliantly recounted here, is the absolute personification of the
American dream."-Dominique LaPierre 'This book is as charming and
sophisticated as its author."-Walter Cronkite
This book (hardcover) is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS. It
contains classical literature works from over two thousand years.
Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore
shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the
cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical
literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again
- worldwide.
This book is open access under a CC BY-NC 2.5 license. This book
presents the VISCERAL project benchmarks for analysis and retrieval
of 3D medical images (CT and MRI) on a large scale, which used an
innovative cloud-based evaluation approach where the image data
were stored centrally on a cloud infrastructure and participants
placed their programs in virtual machines on the cloud. The book
presents the points of view of both the organizers of the VISCERAL
benchmarks and the participants. The book is divided into five
parts. Part I presents the cloud-based benchmarking and
Evaluation-as-a-Service paradigm that the VISCERAL benchmarks used.
Part II focuses on the datasets of medical images annotated with
ground truth created in VISCERAL that continue to be available for
research. It also covers the practical aspects of obtaining
permission to use medical data and manually annotating 3D medical
images efficiently and effectively. The VISCERAL benchmarks are
described in Part III, including a presentation and analysis of
metrics used in evaluation of medical image analysis and search.
Lastly, Parts IV and V present reports by some of the participants
in the VISCERAL benchmarks, with Part IV devoted to the anatomy
benchmarks and Part V to the retrieval benchmark. This book has two
main audiences: the datasets as well as the segmentation and
retrieval results are of most interest to medical imaging
researchers, while eScience and computational science experts
benefit from the insights into using the Evaluation-as-a-Service
paradigm for evaluation and benchmarking on huge amounts of data.

Brain imaging brings together the technology, methodology, research
questions and approaches of a wide range of scientific fields
including physics, statistics, computer science, neuroscience,
biology, and engineering. Thus, methodological and technological
advances that enable us to obtain measurements, examine
relationships across observations, and link these data to
neuroscientific hypotheses happen in a highly interdisciplinary
environment. The dynamic field of machine learning with its modern
approach to data mining provides many relevant approaches for
neuroscience and enables the exploration of open questions. This
state-of-the-art survey offers a collection of papers from the
Workshop on Machine Learning and Interpretation in Neuroimaging,
MLINI 2011, held at the 25th Annual Conference on Neural
Information Processing, NIPS 2011, in the Sierra Nevada, Spain, in
December 2011. Additionally, invited speakers agreed to contribute
reviews on various aspects of the field, adding breadth and
perspective to the volume. The 32 revised papers were carefully
selected from 48 submissions. At the interface between machine
learning and neuroimaging the papers aim at shedding some light on
the state of the art in this interdisciplinary field. They are
organized in topical sections on coding and decoding, neuroscience,
dynamcis, connectivity, and probabilistic models and machine
learning.

grAphical Models for Biomedical Imaging, BAMBI 2016, held in
Athens, Greece, in October 2016, held in conjunction with the 19th
International Conference on Medical Image Computing and
Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2016. The 13 papers
presented in MCV workshop and the 6 papers presented in BAMBI
workshop were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous
submissions. The goal of the MCV workshop is to explore the use of
"big data" algorithms for harvesting, organizing and learning from
large-scale medical imaging data sets and for general-purpose
automatic understanding of medical images. The BAMBI workshop aims
to highlight the potential of using Bayesian or random field
graphical models for advancing research in biomedical image
analysis.
