Sparse models are particularly useful in scientific applications, such as biomarker discovery in genetic or neuroimaging data, where the interpretability of a predictive model is essential. Sparsity can also dramatically improve the cost efficiency of signal processing. Sparse Modeling: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications provides an introduction to the growing field of sparse modeling, including application examples, problem formulations that yield sparse solutions, algorithms for finding such solutions, and recent theoretical results on sparse recovery. The book gets you up to speed on the latest sparsity-related developments and will motivate you to continue learning about the field. The...
Provides a holistic overview of the foundational ideas in music, from the physical and mathematical properties of sound to symbolic representations Combines signlas and language models in one place to explore how sound may be represented and manipulated by computer systems More complex discussions are gradually incorporated and each chapter includes guided programming activities to familiarise readers with the discussed theory
Introduction to Machine Learning with Applications in Information Security, Second Edition provides a classroom-tested introduction to a wide variety of machine learning and deep learning algorithms and techniques, reinforced via realistic applications. The book is accessible and doesn’t prove theorems, or dwell on mathematical theory. The goal is to present topics at an intuitive level, with just enough detail to clarify the underlying concepts. The book covers core classic machine learning topics in depth, including Hidden Markov Models (HMM), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and clustering. Additional machine learning topics include k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN), boosting, Random Forests, and...
Entropy Randomization in Machine Learning presents a new approach to machine learning—entropy randomization—to obtain optimal solutions under uncertainty (uncertain data and models of the objects under study). Randomized machine-learning procedures involve models with random parameters and maximum entropy estimates of the probability density functions of the model parameters under balance conditions with measured data. Optimality conditions are derived in the form of nonlinear equations with integral components. A new numerical random search method is developed for solving these equations in a probabilistic sense. Along with the theoretical foundations of randomized machine learning, Ent...
This book constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, ICSOC 2014, held in Paris, France, in November 2014. The 25 full and 26 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 180 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on business process management; service composition and discovery; service design, description and evolution; cloud and business service management; ensuring composition properties; quality of service; semantic web services; service management; cloud service management; business service management; trust; service design and description.
This volume presents a catalogue of over 2000 doctoral theses by Africans in all fields of mathematics, including applied mathematics, mathematics education and history of mathematics. The introduction contains information about distribution by country, institutions, period, and by gender, about mathematical density, and mobility of mathematicians. Several appendices are included (female doctorate holders, doctorates in mathematics education, doctorates awarded by African universities to non-Africans, doctoral theses by non-Africans about mathematics in Africa, activities of African mathematicians at the service of their communities). Paulus Gerdes compiled the information in his capacity of Chairman of the African Mathematical Union Commission for the History of Mathematics in Africa (AMUCHMA). The book contains a preface by Mohamed Hassan, President of the African Academy of Sciences (AAS) and Executive Director of the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS). (383 pp.)

Machine learning has redefined the way we work with data and is increasingly becoming an indispensable part of everyday life. The Pragmatic Programmer for Machine Learning: Engineering Analytics and Data Science Solutions discusses how modern software engineering practices are part of this revolution both conceptually and in practical applictions. Comprising a broad overview of how to design machine learning pipelines as well as the state-of-the-art tools we use to make them, this book provides a multi-disciplinary view of how traditional software engineering can be adapted to and integrated with the workflows of domain experts and probabilistic models. From choosing the right hardware to designing effective pipelines architectures and adopting software development best practices, this guide will appeal to machine learning and data science specialists, whilst also laying out key high-level principlesin a way that is approachable for students of computer science and aspiring programmers.
