Handbook of Item Response Theory Volume 1: Models

Handbook of Item Response Theory Volume 1: Models

Drawing on the work of internationally acclaimed experts in the field Handbook of Item Response Theory Volume One: Models presents all major item response models. This first volume in a three-volume set covers many model developments that have occurred in item response theory (IRT) during the last 20 years. It describes models for different response formats or response processes the need of deeper parameterization due to a multilevel or hierarchical structure of the response data and other extensions and insights. In Volume One all chapters have a common format with each chapter focusing on one family of models or modeling approach. An introductory section in every chapter includes some history of the model and a motivation of its relevance. Subsequent sections present the model more formally treat the estimation of its parameters show how to evaluate its fit to empirical data illustrate the use of the model through an empirical example and discuss further applications and remaining research issues. | Handbook of Item Response Theory Volume 1: Models

Artificial Superintelligence A Futuristic Approach

Artificial Superintelligence A Futuristic Approach

A day does not go by without a news article reporting some amazing breakthrough in artificial intelligence (AI). Many philosophers futurists and AI researchers have conjectured that human-level AI will be developed in the next 20 to 200 years. If these predictions are correct it raises new and sinister issues related to our future in the age of intelligent machines. Artificial Superintelligence: A Futuristic Approach directly addresses these issues and consolidates research aimed at making sure that emerging superintelligence is beneficial to humanity. While specific predictions regarding the consequences of superintelligent AI vary from potential economic hardship to the complete extinction of humankind many researchers agree that the issue is of utmost importance and needs to be seriously addressed. Artificial Superintelligence: A Futuristic Approach discusses key topics such as: AI-Completeness theory and how it can be used to see if an artificial intelligent agent has attained human level intelligence Methods for safeguarding the invention of a superintelligent system that could theoretically be worth trillions of dollars Self-improving AI systems: definition types and limits The science of AI safety engineering including machine ethics and robot rights Solutions for ensuring safe and secure confinement of superintelligent systems The future of superintelligence and why long-term prospects for humanity to remain as the dominant species on Earth are not great Artificial Superintelligence: A Futuristic Approach is designed to become a foundational text for the new science of AI safety engineering. AI researchers and students computer security researchers futurists and philosophers should find this an invaluable resource. | Artificial Superintelligence A Futuristic Approach

Component-Based Software Engineering Methods and Metrics

Component-Based Software Engineering Methods and Metrics

This book focuses on a specialized branch of the vast domain of software engineering: component-based software engineering (CBSE). Component-Based Software Engineering: Methods and Metrics enhances the basic understanding of components by defining categories characteristics repository interaction complexity and composition. It divides the research domain of CBSE into three major sub-domains: (1) reusability issues (2) interaction and integration issues and (3) testing and reliability issues. This book covers the state-of-the-art literature survey of at least 20 years in the domain of reusability interaction and integration complexities and testing and reliability issues of component-based software engineering. The aim of this book is not only to review and analyze the previous works conducted by eminent researchers academicians and organizations in the context of CBSE but also suggests innovative efficient and better solutions. A rigorous and critical survey of traditional and advanced paradigms of software engineering is provided in the book. Features: In-interactions and Out-Interactions both are covered to assess the complexity. In the context of CBSE both white-box and black-box testing methods and their metrics are described. This work covers reliability estimation using reusability which is an innovative method. Case studies and real-life software examples are used to explore the problems and their solutions. Students research scholars software developers and software designers or individuals interested in software engineering especially in component-based software engineering can refer to this book to understand the concepts from scratch. These measures and metrics can be used to estimate the software before the actual coding commences. | Component-Based Software Engineering Methods and Metrics
