This book introduces the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), discusses its origins, and explores various research methods and resources for enthusiasts. It assesses SETI’s scientific legitimacy and ideas over the past three to four decades, arguing for complementary efforts in interstellar travel, alien societies, and intelligent life. As well as this, it raises the question of whether life on Earth is from an alien system, discusses hypothetical scenarios for successful communicati...

If you know how to program, you're ready to tackle Bayesian statistics. With this book, you'll learn how to solve statistical problems with Python code instead of mathematical formulas, using discrete probability distributions rather than continuous mathematics. Once you get the math out of the way, the Bayesian fundamentals will become clearer and you'll begin to apply these techniques to real-world problems. Bayesian statistical methods are becoming more common and more important, but not man...

Humanized AI (HAI), emerging as the next of the AI waves, refers to artificial social beings that are very close to humans in various aspects, beings who are machine-race humans, not digital slaves. Foundation, Architecture, and Prototyping of HAI deploy a novel smalldata approach to vertically explore the spectrum of HAI. Different from the popular big-data philosophy that is based on the rigid notion that the connotation of each concept is fixed and the same to everyone, this book treats und...

Machine learning is an exciting topic with a myriad of applications. However, most textbooks are targeted towards computer science students. This, however, creates a complication for scientists across the physical sciences that also want to understand the main concepts of machine learning and look ahead to applica- tions and advancements in their fields. This textbook bridges this gap, providing an introduction to the mathematical foundations for the main algorithms used in machine learning for...

Regression and classification methods based on similarity of the input to stored examples have not been widely used in applications involving very large sets of high-dimensional data. Recent advances in computational geometry and machine learning, however, may alleviate the problems in using these methods on large data sets. This volume presents theoretical and practical discussions of nearest-neighbor (NN) methods in machine learning and examines computer vision as an application domain in whic...

The contributors are among the world's leading researchers inautomated reasoning. Their essays cover the theory, software system design, and use of these systems to solve real problems. The primary objective of automated reasoning (which includes automated deduction and automated theorem proving) is to develop computer programs that use logical reasoning for the solution of a wide variety of problems, including open questions. The essays in Automated Reasoning and Its Applications were written...

These original contributions converge on an exciting and fruitful intersection of three historically distinct areas of learning research: computational learning theory, neural networks, and symbolic machine learning. Bridging theory and practice, computer science and psychology, they consider general issues in learning systems that could provide constraints for theory and at the same time interpret theoretical results in the context of experiments with actual learning systems.In all, nineteen ch...

Machine Learning - Modeling Data Locally and Globally presents a novel and unified theory that tries to seamlessly integrate different algorithms. Specifically, the book distinguishes the inner nature of machine learning algorithms as either "local learning"or "global learning."This theory not only connects previous machine learning methods, or serves as roadmap in various models, but -- more importantly -- it also motivates a theory that can learn from data both locally and globally. This would...

Why are cutting-edge data science techniques such as bioinformatics, few-shot learning, and zero-shot learning underutilized in the world of biological sciences?. In a rapidly advancing field, the failure to harness the full potential of these disciplines limits scientists' ability to unlock critical insights into biological systems, personalized medicine, and biomarker identification. This untapped potential hinders progress and limits our capacity to tackle complex biological challenges. The s...
