Machine Learning: From Theory to Applications

Cooperative Research at Siemens and MIT

By: Stephen J. Hanson,Werner Remmele,Ronald L. Rivest

This volume includes some of the key research papers in the area of machine learning produced at MIT and Siemens during a three-year joint research effort. It includes papers on many different styles of machine learning, organized into three parts. Part I, theory, includes three papers on theoretical aspects of machine learning. The first two use the theory of computational complexity to derive some fundamental limits on what isefficiently learnable. The third provides an efficient algorithm for identifying finite automata. Part II, artificial intelligence and symbolic learning methods, includes five papers giving an overview of the state of the art and future developments in the field of machine learning, a subfield of artificial intelligence dealing with automated knowledge acquisition and knowledge revision. Part III, neural and collective computation, includes five papers sampling the theoretical diversity and trends in the vigorous new research field of neural networks: massively parallel symbolic induction, task decomposition through competition, phoneme discrimination, behavior-based learning, and self-repairing neural networks.

Introduction to Algorithms, third edition

By: Thomas H. Cormen,Charles E. Leiserson,Ronald L. Rivest,Clifford Stein

The latest edition of the essential text and professional reference, with substantial new material on such topics as vEB trees, multithreaded algorithms, dynamic programming, and edge-based flow. Some books on algorithms are rigorous but incomplete; others cover masses of material but lack rigor. Introduction to Algorithms uniquely combines rigor and comprehensiveness. The book covers a broad range of algorithms in depth, yet makes their design and analysis accessible to all levels of readers. Each chapter is relatively self-contained and can be used as a unit of study. The algorithms are described in English and in a pseudocode designed to be readable by anyone who has done a little programming. The explanations have been kept elementary without sacrificing depth of coverage or mathematical rigor. The first edition became a widely used text in universities worldwide as well as the standard reference for professionals. The second edition featured new chapters on the role of algorithms, probabilistic analysis and randomized algorithms, and linear programming. The third edition has been revised and updated throughout. It includes two completely new chapters, on van Emde Boas trees and multithreaded algorithms, substantial additions to the chapter on recurrence (now called “Divide-and-Conquer”), and an appendix on matrices. It features improved treatment of dynamic programming and greedy algorithms and a new notion of edge-based flow in the material on flow networks. Many exercises and problems have been added for this edition. The international paperback edition is no longer available; the hardcover is available worldwide.

Proceedings of the Seventh International Workshop on Digital Forensics and Incident Analysis (WDFIA 2012)

By: Nathan Clarke,Theodore Tryfonas,Ronald Dodge

The field of digital forensics is rapidly evolving and continues to gain significance in both the law enforcement and the scientific community. Being intrinsically interdisciplinary, it draws upon a wide range of subject areas such as information & communication technologies, law, social sciences and business administration. With this in mind, the workshop on Digital Forensics and Incident Analysis (WDFIA) specifically addresses this multi-facetted aspect, with papers invited from the full spectrum of issues relating to digital forensics and incident analysis. This book represents the proceedings from the 2012 event, which was held in Crete, Greece. A total of 13 papers are included, spanning a range of topics including systems and network investigation, services and applications and supporting the forensic process. All of the papers were subject to double-blind peer review, with each being reviewed by at least two members of the international programme committee.

Numbers and Computers

Numbers and Computers

By: Ronald T. Kneusel

This is a book about numbers and how those numbers are represented in and operated on by computers. It is crucial that developers understand this area because the numerical operations allowed by computers, and the limitations of those operations, especially in the area of floating point math, affect virtually everything people try to do with computers. This book aims to fill this gap by exploring, in sufficient but not overwhelming detail, just what it is that computers do with numbers. Divided into two parts, the first deals with standard representations of integers and floating point numbers, while the second examines several other number representations. Details are explained thoroughly, with clarity and specificity. Each chapter ends with a summary, recommendations, carefully selected references, and exercises to review the key points. Topics covered include interval arithmetic, fixed-point numbers, big integers and rational arithmetic. This new edition has three new chapters: Pitfalls of Floating-Point Numbers (and How to Avoid Them), Arbitrary Precision Floating Point, and Other Number Systems. This book is for anyone who develops software including software engineers, scientists, computer science students, engineering students and anyone who programs for fun.

Reasoning About Knowledge

By: Ronald Fagin,Joseph Y. Halpern,Yoram Moses,Moshe Vardi

Reasoning about knowledge—particularly the knowledge of agents who reason about the world and each other's knowledge—was once the exclusive province of philosophers and puzzle solvers. More recently, this type of reasoning has been shown to play a key role in a surprising number of contexts, from understanding conversations to the analysis of distributed computer algorithms. Reasoning About Knowledge is the first book to provide a general discussion of approaches to reasoning about knowledge and its applications to distributed systems, artificial intelligence, and game theory. It brings eight years of work by the authors into a cohesive framework for understanding and analyzing reasoning about knowledge that is intuitive, mathematically well founded, useful in practice, and widely applicable. The book is almost completely self-contained and should be accessible to readers in a variety of disciplines, including computer science, artificial intelligence, linguistics, philosophy, cognitive science, and game theory. Each chapter includes exercises and bibliographic notes.

Applications of Finite Fields

By: Alfred J. Menezes,Ian F. Blake,XuHong Gao,Ronald C. Mullin,Scott A. Vanstone,Tomik Yaghoobian

The theory of finite fields, whose origins can be traced back to the works of Gauss and Galois, has played a part in various branches in mathematics. Inrecent years we have witnessed a resurgence of interest in finite fields, and this is partly due to important applications in coding theory and cryptography. The purpose of this book is to introduce the reader to some of these recent developments. It should be of interest to a wide range of students, researchers and practitioners in the disciplines of computer science, engineering and mathematics. We shall focus our attention on some specific recent developments in the theory and applications of finite fields. While the topics selected are treated in some depth, we have not attempted to be encyclopedic. Among the topics studied are different methods of representing the elements of a finite field (including normal bases and optimal normal bases), algorithms for factoring polynomials over finite fields, methods for constructing irreducible polynomials, the discrete logarithm problem and its implications to cryptography, the use of elliptic curves in constructing public key cryptosystems, and the uses of algebraic geometry in constructing good error-correcting codes. To limit the size of the volume we have been forced to omit some important applications of finite fields. Some of these missing applications are briefly mentioned in the Appendix along with some key references.

Advanced Handbook of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

By: Laurent Arnaud,Ronald van Vollenhoven

This book will provide an introduction to the epidemiology, etiology and pathogenesis of the condition while also exploring the classification, diagnosis, and current and emerging therapies for systemic lupus erythematosus. Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. It can affect the skin, joints, kidneys, brain, and other organs. The underlying cause of the disease is not fully known, and SLE is much more common in women than in men. It may occur at any age but most often occurs in people between 10 and 50 years of age. This is the second Adis title from Ronald F van Vollenhoven, who previously authored Biologics for the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Alcohol and Hormones

Alcohol and Hormones

By: Ronald R. Watson

Alcoholism, the oldest addictive illness, remains a serious problem because of its major modifications of many physiological systems. The genetic and neurological origins and mechanisms are complex and only partly understood. However, it is clear that alcohol use modifies the production of most hormones, directly and indirectly modulating the systems that hormones regulate. Acute and chronic alcohol consumption affects virtually all cellular functions of tissues like brain, liver, immune system, and reproductive and endocrine organs. The latter have major regula tory roles, affecting many functions from development to repro duction. Although stress can further modify alcohol's effects on hormone production, it significantly causes most of alcohol's modi fications of the body to occur via changes in hormone production and secretion.

Integers, Polynomials, and Rings

A Course in Algebra

By: Ronald S. Irving

This book began life as a set of notes that I developed for a course at the University of Washington entitled Introduction to Modern Algebra for Tea- ers. Originally conceived as a text for future secondary-school mathematics teachers, it has developed into a book that could serve well as a text in an - dergraduatecourseinabstractalgebraoracoursedesignedasanintroduction to higher mathematics. This book di?ers from many undergraduate algebra texts in fundamental ways; the reasons lie in the book’s origin and the goals I set for the course. The course is a two-quarter sequence required of students intending to f- ?ll the requirements of the teacher preparation option for our B.A. degree in mathematics, or of the teacher preparation minor. It is required as well of those intending to matriculate in our university’s Master’s in Teaching p- gram for secondary mathematics teachers. This is the principal course they take involving abstraction and proof, and they come to it with perhaps as little background as a year of calculus and a quarter of linear algebra. The mathematical ability of the students varies widely, as does their level of ma- ematical interest.

Mining Imperfect Data

With Examples in R and Python, Second Edition

By: Ronald K. Pearson

It has been estimated that as much as 80% of the total effort in a typical data analysis project is taken up with data preparation, including reconciling and merging data from different sources, identifying and interpreting various data anomalies, and selecting and implementing appropriate treatment strategies for the anomalies that are found. This book focuses on the identification and treatment of data anomalies, including examples that highlight different types of anomalies, their potential consequences if left undetected and untreated, and options for dealing with them. As both data sources and free, open-source data analysis software environments proliferate, more people and organizations are motivated to extract useful insights and information from data of many different kinds (e.g., numerical, categorical, and text). The book emphasizes the range of open-source tools available for identifying and treating data anomalies, mostly in R but also with several examples in Python. Mining Imperfect Data: With Examples in R and Python, Second Edition presents a unified coverage of 10 different types of data anomalies (outliers, missing data, inliers, metadata errors, misalignment errors, thin levels in categorical variables, noninformative variables, duplicated records, coarsening of numerical data, and target leakage). It includes an in-depth treatment of time-series outliers and simple nonlinear digital filtering strategies for dealing with them, and it provides a detailed introduction to several useful mathematical characteristics of important data characterizations that do not appear to be widely known among practitioners, such as functional equations and key inequalities. While this book is primarily for data scientists, researchers in a variety of fields—namely statistics, machine learning, physics, engineering, medicine, social sciences, economics, and business—will also find it useful.

Human Frailties

Wrong Choices on the Drive to Success

By: Ronald J. Burke,Suzy Fox

Every day we hear stories about the consequences of human frailties for individuals, their families and friends, and their organizations. Some of these stories are about alcohol and drug addiction and other harmful lifestyle choices, but human frailty also leads to all kinds of unethical and illegal behaviour. Individuals are convicted of bribery and corruption, price fixing, theft and fraud, sexual harassment and abuse of authority. Politicians fiddle their expenses, sports people cheat and fix matches and school and university students and teachers cheat to enhance exam results. Studies have shown that business students cheat more than others and efforts to teach ethical behaviour in business schools make little difference. The media who bring us stories of others' frailties themselves engage in unethical and illegal conduct in pursuit of an edge over their rivals. The contributions to this latest addition to Gower's Psychological and Behavioural Aspects of Risk Series place the spotlight on individuals, their behavioural choices and the consequences that follow for theirs and others' lives and careers. The conclusion is that people do have choices and options and that, whilst there are no easy or quick fixes in addressing self-limiting behaviours, successful avoidance of the worst outcomes can been achieved. This book provides guidance on the practical steps that need to be taken in order to gain a sense of proportion of what is important and of how we are doing, if we are to address our frailties and stop making unethical choices.

Parameterized Complexity in the Polynomial Hierarchy

Extending Parameterized Complexity Theory to Higher Levels of the Hierarchy

By: Ronald de Haan

Parameterized Complexity in the Polynomial Hierarchy was co-recipient of the E.W. Beth Dissertation Prize 2017 for outstanding dissertations in the fields of logic, language, and information. This work extends the theory of parameterized complexity to higher levels of the Polynomial Hierarchy (PH). For problems at higher levels of the PH, a promising solving approach is to develop fixed-parameter tractable reductions to SAT, and to subsequently use a SAT solving algorithm to solve the problem. In this dissertation, a theoretical toolbox is developed that can be used to classify in which cases this is possible. The use of this toolbox is illustrated by applying it to analyze a wide range of problems from various areas of computer science and artificial intelligence.

Consumer Trust in Electronic Commerce

By: Ronald Bruin

This multi-disciplinary book provides insight in how to establish consumer trust in electronic commerce. It goes into detail on: a broad variety of consumer trust criteria with regard to the security and reliability of electronic consumer transactions what information must be provided to consumers how to create a legally binding contract online confidence in electronic payments the resolution of disputes what law applies to the electronic consumer contract which body is entitled to settle the dispute and personal data protection. By means of these criteria it is assessed into what extent consumer trust is ensured by the application of a public-key infrastructure, which supports cryptographic services such as electronic signatures and encryption. An assessment is also made on the European Union cryptography policy and the European Union policy on consumer protection in electronic commerce. In addition, a wide range of co-regulation and self-regulation initiatives within the European Union and Northern America are assessed. Finally, this book provides a consumer trust framework which learns that various ingredients at different levels are required to build consumer trust in electronic commerce. As such, it clarifies the roles and responsibilities of government, industry and consumer organisations, businesses, as well as consumers themselves.
