Automated Machine Learning for Business - Kai R. Larsen - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Automated Machine Learning for Business - Kai R. Larsen - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Teaches the machine learning process for business students and professionals using automated machine learning, a new development in data science that requires only a few weeks to learn instead of years of trainingThough the concept of computers learning to solve a problem may still conjure thoughts of futuristic artificial intelligence, the reality is that machine learning algorithms now exist within most major software, including Websites and even word processors. These algorithms are transforming society in the most radical way since the Industrial Revolution, primarily through automating tasks such as deciding which users to advertise to, which machines are likely to break down, and which stock to buy and sell. While this work no longer always requires advanced technical expertise, it is crucial that practitioners and students alike understand the world of machine learning. In this book, Kai R. Larsen and Daniel S. Becker teach the machine learning process using a new development in data science: automated machine learning (AutoML). AutoML, when implemented properly, makes machine learning accessible by removing the need for years of experience in the most arcane aspects of data science, such as math, statistics, and computer science. Larsen and Becker demonstrate how anyone trained in the use of AutoML can use it to test their ideas and support the quality of those ideas during presentations to management and stakeholder groups. Because the requisite investment is a few weeks rather than a few years of training, these tools will likely become a core component of undergraduate and graduate programs alike. With first-hand examples from the industry-leading DataRobot platform, Automated Machine Learning for Business provides a clear overview of the process and engages with essential tools for the future of data science.

Making a Machine That Sees Like Us - Zygmunt Pizlo - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Making a Machine That Sees Like Us - Zygmunt Pizlo - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Making a Machine That Sees Like Us explains why and how our visual perceptions can provide us with an accurate representation of the external world. Along the way, it tells the story of a machine (a computational model) built by the authors that solves the computationally difficult problem of seeing the way humans do. This accomplishment required a radical paradigm shift - one that challenged preconceptions about visual perception and tested the limits of human behavior-modeling for practical application.The text balances scientific sophistication and compelling storytelling, making it accessible to both technical and general readers. Online demonstrations and references to the authors'' previously published papers detail how the machine was developed and what drove the ideas needed to make it work. The authors contextualize their new theory of shape perception by highlighting criticisms and opposing theories, offering readers a fascinating account not only of their revolutionary results, but of the scientific process that guided the way.

The Intelligent Movement Machine - Michael Graziano - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Intelligent Movement Machine - Michael Graziano - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

In The Intelligent Movement Machine: An Ethological Perspective on the Primate Motor System, Michael Graziano offers a fundamentally new theory of motor cortex organization: the rendering of the movement repertoire onto the cortex. The action repertoire of an animal is highly dimensional, whereas the cortical sheet is two-dimensional. Rendering the action space onto the cortex therefore results in a complex pattern, explaining the otherwise inexplicable details of the motor cortex organization. This clearly written book book includes a complete history of motor cortex research from its discovery to the present, a discussion of the major issues in motor cortex research, and an account of recent experiments that led to Graziano''s "action map" view. Though focused on the motor cortex, the book includes a range of topics from an explanation of how primates put food in their mouths, to the origins of social beahvior such as smiling and laughing, to the mysterious link between movement disorders and autism. This book is written for a general audience, and should be of interest to experts, students, and the scientific lay.

Life in the Political Machine - Dominant-Party Enclaves and the Citizens They Produce - Bog af Jonathan T. (Associate Professor of Political Science H

Life in the Political Machine - Dominant-Party Enclaves and the Citizens They Produce - Bog af Jonathan T. (Associate Professor of Political Science H

Life in the Political Machine explores the political lives of everyday citizens who find themselves embedded in subnational dominant-party enclaves that lie within national-level democracies. While we know quite a bit about why such enclaves emerge and persist, we know very little about how those individuals living within them think about and engage with politics. This book offers one of the first systematic explorations of the ways in which subnational\dominant-party enclaves\ influence citizens'..

American Blood - Holly Jackson - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

American Blood - Holly Jackson - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

The conventional view of the family in the nineteenth-century novel holds that it venerated the traditional domestic unit as a model of national belonging. Contesting this interpretation, American Blood argues that many authors of the period challenged preconceptions of the family and portrayed it as a detriment to true democracy and, by extension, the political enterprise of the United States. Relying on works by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, William Wells Brown, Pauline Hopkins, and others, Holly Jackson reveals family portraits that are claustrophobic, antidemocratic, and even unnatural. The novels examined here welcome, in Jackson''s reading, the decline of the family and the exclusionary white-privileging American social order that it supported. Embracing and imagining this decline, the novels examined here incorporate and celebrate the very practices that mainstream Americans felt were the most dangerous to the family as an institution-interracial sex, doomed marriages, homosexuality, and the willful rejection of reproduction. In addition to historicized readings, the monograph also highlights how formal narrative characteristics served to heighten their anti-filial message: according to Jackson, the false starts, interpolated plots, and narrative dead-ends prominent in novels like The House of the Seven Gables and Dred are formal iterations of the books'' interest in disrupting the family as a privileged ideological site. In sum, American Blood offers a much-needed corrective that will generate fresh insights into nineteenth-century literature and culture.

Ralph Ellison, Temporal Technologist - Michael Germana - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Ralph Ellison, Temporal Technologist - Michael Germana - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Ralph Ellison, Temporal Technologist examines Ralph Ellison''s body of work as an extended and ever-evolving expression of the author''s philosophy of temporalitya philosophy synthesized from the writings of Henri Bergson and Friedrich Nietzsche that anticipates the work of Gilles Deleuze. Germana presents Ellison''s theory of temporality and social change as going up against all forms of linear causality and historical determinisma theory that views time as a multiplicity of dynamic processes, rather than a static container for the events of our lives. Integral to this theory is Ellison''s observation that the social, cultural, and legal processes constitutive of racial formation are embedded in static temporalities reiterated by historians and sociologists. In other words, Ellison''s critique of US racial history is, fundamentally, a matter of time. This book shows how Ellison''s fiction, criticism, and photography reclaims technologies through which static time and linear history are formalizedin effect, revealing intensities implicit in the present that, if actualized, could help us "act un-historically." The result is a reinterpretation of Ellison''s oeuvre, as well as an extension of Ellison''s ideas about the dynamism of becoming and the open-endedness of the future. Ralph Ellison, Temporal Technologist reveals the chaos of possibility lurking beneath the patterns of living we mistake for enduring certainties.

Digital Uncanny - Kriss Ravetto Biagioli - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Digital Uncanny - Kriss Ravetto Biagioli - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

We are now confronted with a new type of uncanny experience, an uncanny evoked by parallel processing, aggregate data, and cloud-computing. The digital uncanny does not erase the uncanny feeling we experience as deja vu or when confronted with robots that are too lifelike. Today''s uncanny refers to how non-human devices (surveillance technologies, algorithms, feedback, and data flows) anticipate human gestures, emotions, actions, and interactions, thus intimating that we are but machines and that our behavior is predicable precisely because we are machinic. It adds another dimension to those feelings in which we question whether our responses are subjective or automated - automated as in reducing one''s subjectivity to patterns of data and using those patterns to present objects or ideas that would then elicit one''s genuinely subjective-yet effectively preset-response. In fact, this anticipation of our responses is a feedback loop that we humans have produced by designing software that can study our traces, inputs, and moves. In this sense one could say that the digital uncanny is a trick we play on ourselves, a trick that we would not be able to play had we not developed sophisticated digital technologies. Digital Uncanny explores how digital technologies, particularly software systems working through massive amounts of data, are transforming the meaning of the uncanny that Freud tied to a return of repressed memories, desires, and experiences to their anticipation. Through a close reading of interactive and experimental art works of Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Bill Viola, Simon Biggs, Sue Hawksley, and Garth Paine, this book is designed to explore how the digital uncanny unsettles and estranges concepts of "self," "affect," "feedback" and "aesthetic experience," forcing us to reflect on our relationship with computational media and by extension our relationship to each other and our experience of the world.

Setting Health-Care Priorities - What Ethical Theories Tell Us - Bog af Torbjorn (Claeson Professor of Practical Philosophy Tannsjo - Hardback

Setting Health-Care Priorities - What Ethical Theories Tell Us - Bog af Torbjorn (Claeson Professor of Practical Philosophy Tannsjo - Hardback

Tannsjo here approaches the question of how to allocate limited health-care resources from a philosophical perspective. He balanaces theoretical treatments of distributive ethics with real-world examples of how health-care is administered around the world today, arguing for the controversial position that we ought to direct more resources to the care and cure of people suffering from mental illness, and less to the marginal life extension of elderlypatients.
