Although interest in machine learning has reached a high point, lofty expectations often scuttle projects before they get very far. How can machine learning-especially deep neural networks-make a real difference in your organization? This hands-on guide not only provides the most practical information available on the subject, but also helps you get started building efficient deep learning networks. Authors Adam Gibson and Josh Patterson provide theory on deep learning before introducing their...

Since its first volume in 1960, Advances in Computers has presented detailed coverage of innovations in hardware and software and in computer theory, design, and applications. It has also provided contributorswith a medium in which they can examine their subjects in greater depth and breadth than that allowed by standard journal articles. As a result, many articles have become standard references that continue to be of significant, lasting value despite the rapid growth taking place in the field...

This book contains the collection of papers presented at the conference of the International Federation for Information Processing Working Group 8.2 "Information and Organizations."

The main goal of this text is to present the theoretical foundation of the field of Fourier analysis on Euclidean spaces. It covers classical topics such as interpolation, Fourier series, the Fourier transform, maximal functions, singular integrals, and Littlewood-Paley theory. The primary readership is intended to be graduate students in mathematics with the prerequisite including satisfactory completion of courses in real and complex variables. The coverage of topics and exposition style are d...

Mit dem Erscheinen von PC-Versionen (seit 1988) hat die leistungsfahige Programmiersprache APL2 deutlich an Attraktivitat und Verbreitung gewonnen. Als Entwicklungssystem fur komplexe Anwendungen, die eine schnelle, interaktive Analyse grosser Datenmengen erfordern, hat APL sich einen festen Platz in der Praxis erobert, z.B. bei Banken und Versicherungen. Das vorliegende Buch ist eine hohere Einfuhrung in APL2. Programmierer mit geringen Vorkenntnissen in APL oder APL2 werden anhand sorgfaltig a...

DESCRIPTION Hadoop queries in Pig or Hive can be too slow for real-time data analysis. Impala, an ultra-speedy query engine from Cloudera, supercharges Hadoop by avoiding the typical Map-Reduce overhead and parallelizing queries so that they can run on multiple nodes. This is a big deal for big data, because with Impala, querying Hadoop takes seconds rather than minutes. Impala's dialect is close to standard SQL, and Impala seamlessly accesses HBase and HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File Sys...

This fully revised and updated edition of the bestselling Chief Data Officer's Playbook offers new insights into the role of the CDO and the data environment. Written by two of the world's leading experts in data driven transformation, it addresses the changes that have taken place in 'data', in the role of the 'CDO', and the expectations and ambitions of organisations. Most importantly, it will place the role of the CDO into the context of a c-suite player for organisations that wish to recover...

CAMD or Computer Aided Molecular Design refers to the design of molecules with desirable properties. That is, through CAMD, one determines molecules that match a specified set of (target) properties. CAMD as a technique has a very large potential as in principle, all kinds of chemical, bio-chemical and material products can be designed through this technique. This book mainly deals with macroscopic properties and therefore does not cover molecular design of large, complex chemicals such as drug...
