Machine Learning with Rust

A practical attempt to explore Rust and its libraries across popular machine learning techniques

By: Keiko Nakamura

In this stimulating journey of Rust, you'll learn how to use the Rust programming language in conjunction with machine learning. It's not a full guide to learning machine learning with Rust. Instead, it's more of a journey that shows you what's possible when you use Rust to solve machine learning problems. Some people like Rust because it is quick and safe. This book shows how those qualities can help machine learning a lot. To begin, we will show you what Rust is and how it works. This is so that everyone, even those who are new to Rust, can follow along. Then, we look at some basic machine learning concepts, such as linear and logistic regression, and show how to use Rust's tools and libraries to make these ideas work. You will learn more complex techniques like decision trees, support vector machines, and how to work with data as we go along. It goes all the way up to neural networks and image recognition, and we show you how to use Rust for these types of tasks step by step. We use real-world examples, such as COVID data and the CIFAR-10 image set, to show how Rust works with issues that come up in the real world. This book is all about discovery and experimentation. To see what you can do with them, we use various Rust tools for machine learning. It's a fun way to see how Rust can be used in machine learning, and it will make you want to try new things and learn more on your own. This is only the beginning; there is so much more to uncover as you continue to explore machine learning with Rust. Key Learnings Exploit Rust's efficiency and safety to construct fast machine learning models. Use Rust's ndarray crate for numerical computations to manipulate complex machine learning data.

Economic Analysis of Housing Policy in Japan

Economic Analysis of Housing Policy in Japan

Policy Concerning Housing Quality

By: Keiko Nosse Hirono

This book analyzes housing policy in terms of the quality of housing, theoretically and empirically. The analysis is prompted by the Japanese government’s success in increasing the volume of housing through interest rate policy, as is shown by Vector Autoregession (VAR) analysis in this book; consequently, the focus of housing policy in Japan is now the quality of housing. This is the first book to analyze and propose housing monetary policy and housing subsidy policy to improve the quality of housing, which increase the number of houses that are barrier-free and earthquake resistant. This book is also the first to focus on appropriate valuation of housing using hedonic price function and the quality of houses. Using the method of valuation developed and proposed in this book, market clearing prices of houses can be calculated without analytical and theoretical error. Toward this end, the disclosure of information – the offer prices and attributes – of houses is proposed as a housing policy. In addition, in this research the author has developed a method to estimate the hedonic price index and rent index using the quality of houses for the first time in Japan. With hedonic price and rent functions, the author shows the extent to which differences in home ownership investment are caused by differences in information about the property. This finding shows the need to explore an appropriate method of valuation of houses. The propositions of this book can help companies benefit from the use of the hedonic housing valuation and hedonic price and rent indexes.

From Book to Screen

Modern Japanese Literature in Films

By: Keiko I. McDonald

Of all the world s cinemas, Japan's is perhaps unique in its closeness to the nation's literature, past and contemporary. The Western world became aware of this when Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon was awarded the Grand Prize at the Venice film festival in 1951 and the Oscar for best foreign film in 1952. More recent examples include Shohei Imamura's Eel, which won the Palm d'Or (Best Picture) at Cannes in 1997.From Book to Screen breaks new ground by exploring important connections between Japan's modern literary tradition and its national cinema. The first part offers an historical and cultural overview of the working relationship that developed between pure literature and film. It deals with three important periods in which filmmakers relied most heavily on literary works for enriching and developing cinematic art. The second part provides detailed analyses of a dozen literary works and their screen adoptions.

Japanese Classical Theater in Films

By: Keiko I. McDonald

Noh, Kabuki, and Bunraku are the three distinct genres of classical theater that have made Japan's dramatic art unique. The audience steeped in these traditional theatrical forms sees many aspects of stage conventions in Japanese cinema. This intimacy makes the aesthetic/intellectual experience of films more enriching. Japanese Classical Theater in Films aims at heightening such awareness in the West, the awareness of the influence that these three major dramatic genres have had on Japan's cinematic tradition. Using an eclectic critical framework - a solid combination of historical and cultural approaches reinforced with formalist and auteurist perspectives - Keiko I. McDonald undertakes this much needed, ambitious task.

Literary Creations on the Road

Women's Travel Diaries in Early Modern Japan

By: Keiko Shiba

Keiko Shiba, a noted researcher in early modern Japanese history, has spent years collecting hundreds of travel diaries written by women during the reign of the Tokugawa shogunate (17th through mid-19th centuries). The fruit of her research, originally published in Japanese, is now available in an English translation by Motoko Ezaki, with notes provided for general English readers. Shiba intersperses her narration abundantly with excerpts from the actual travel diaries; the book therefore is an invaluable source that offers us direct access to the individual voices of a large number of Tokugawa women, who energetically composed prose and poetry while traveling, sometimes in collaboration with their male companions. This work also sheds new light on women's literary activities in early modern Japan, which are still noticeably understudied compared to other genres of Japanese literary history.

A Forest Environment Tax Scheme in Japan

Toward Water Source Cultivation

By: Keiko Nakayama

This book is a work that focuses on the forest environmental tax. Forest resources have played a major role in preventing global warming by absorbing carbon dioxide and supplying oxygen. However, global economic growth has adversely affected the global environment and has exacerbated global warming due to excessive consumption of forest resources. The functions or “services” of forests are diverse, but the interest of the citizenry in forest cultivation is scarce since forests are public goods. Concurrently, Japanese forestry, which has played an important role in forest conservation, is steadily declining, and it is no longer possible for private forest operators to maintain the forest environment. Therefore, in order to realize sustainable economic growth, it is necessary to formulate policies for the conservation of appropriate forest environments. Forest conservation is an especially important policy issue for Japan, where two-thirds of the country is forested. In Japan, a forest environmental tax is being introduced as a forest conservation policy. As of 2021, the forest environmental tax has already been introduced in about two-thirds of the prefectures and soon will be introduced as a national tax. In this book, the significance and issues of the forest environmental tax will be sorted out, and the status of the introduction of the forest environmental tax in Japan will be compared with that of other countries. In addition, there is additional material regarding the water source conservation fund in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, a system similar to the forest environmental tax.
