Practical Psychopharmacology Basic to Advanced Principles

Practical Psychopharmacology Basic to Advanced Principles

Practical Psychopharmacology takes the novel approach of writing at three different levels—beginning intermediate and advanced—to give the practicing psychopharmacologist a tailored experience. Each chapter focuses on a specific DSM-5 disorder and outlines abbreviated treatment guidelines to help the reader understand where their knowledge base and clinical practice currently resides. At the first level the book teaches novice prescribers practical diagnostic skills and provides a brief overview of pertinent genetic and neuroimaging findings to increase prescribing confidence. Next it provides mid-level clinicians with intermediate techniques and guidelines for more difficult cases. The final level provides nuanced guidance for advanced practitioners or those who see the most treatment-resistant patients. This approach allows a clinician to access this book periodically throughout the care of an individual patient and to gradually progress through a series of more advanced psychopharmacological techniques for making accurate and efficient diagnoses. Readers can also visit the book’s eResource page to download a bonus chapter on eating disorders as well as case studies and multiple-choice questions for each chapter. | Practical Psychopharmacology Basic to Advanced Principles

Machine Learning in Translation

Machine Learning in Translation

Machine Learning in Translation introduces machine learning (ML) theories and technologies that are most relevant to translation processes approaching the topic from a human perspective and emphasizing that ML and ML-driven technologies are tools for humans. Providing an exploration of the common ground between human and machine learning and of the nature of translation that leverages this new dimension this book helps linguists translators and localizers better find their added value in a ML-driven translation environment. Part One explores how humans and machines approach the problem of translation in their own particular ways in terms of word embeddings chunking of larger meaning units and prediction in translation based upon the broader context. Part Two introduces key tasks including machine translation translation quality assessment and quality estimation and other Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks in translation. Part Three focuses on the role of data in both human and machine learning processes. It proposes that a translator’s unique value lies in the capability to create manage and leverage language data in different ML tasks in the translation process. It outlines new knowledge and skills that need to be incorporated into traditional translation education in the machine learning era. The book concludes with a discussion of human-centered machine learning in translation stressing the need to empower translators with ML knowledge through communication with ML users developers and programmers and with opportunities for continuous learning. This accessible guide is designed for current and future users of ML technologies in localization workflows including students on courses in translation and localization language technology and related areas. It supports the professional development of translation practitioners so that they can fully utilize ML technologies and design their own human-centered ML-driven translation workflows and NLP tasks.

Reading to Write: A Textbook of Advanced Chinese

Reading to Write: A Textbook of Advanced Chinese

Traditionally reading and writing are believed to be separate but related language processes and teachers follow the conventional wisdom of teaching in-depth reading with writing as a tag-on issue. Therefore there exists an increasingly urgent call for a well-rounded reading-writing curriculum and a theoretically-informed empirically-based student-centered advanced textbook that aims to develop the synergy between reading and writing. Reading to Write: A Textbook of Advanced Chinese is intended to fill this significant gap. It treats reading and writing as integrative parts and interactive skills in Chinese language teaching putting them hand-in-hand supplementing each other.

Advanced Survival Models

Advanced Survival Models

Survival data analysis is a very broad field of statistics encompassing a large variety of methods used in a wide range of applications and in particular in medical research. During the last twenty years several extensions of classical survival models have been developed to address particular situations often encountered in practice. This book aims to gather in a single reference the most commonly used extensions such as frailty models (in case of unobserved heterogeneity or clustered data) cure models (when a fraction of the population will not experience the event of interest) competing risk models (in case of different types of event) and joint survival models for a time-to-event endpoint and a longitudinal outcome. Features Presents state-of-the art approaches for different advanced survival models including frailty models cure models competing risk models and joint models for a longitudinal and a survival outcome Uses consistent notation throughout the book for the different techniques presented Explains in which situation each of these models should be used and how they are linked to specific research questions Focuses on the understanding of the models their implementation and their interpretation with an appropriate level of methodological development for masters students and applied statisticians Provides references to existing R packages and SAS procedure or macros and illustrates the use of the main ones on real datasets This book is primarily aimed at applied statisticians and graduate students of statistics and biostatistics. It can also serve as an introductory reference for methodological researchers interested in the main extensions of classical survival analysis.
