Artificial Intelligence Engines
The brain has always had a fundamental advantage over conventional computers: it can learn. However, a new generation of artificial intelligence algorithms, in the form of deep neural networks, is rapidly eliminating that advantage. Deep neural networks rely on adaptive algorithms to master a wide variety of tasks, including cancer diagnosis, object recognition, speech recognition, robotic control, chess, poker, backgammon and Go, at super-human levels of performance. In this richly illustrated book, key neural network learning algorithms are explained informally first, followed by detailed mathematical analyses. Topics include both historically important neural networks (e.g. perceptrons), and modern deep neural networks (e.g. generative adversarial networks). Online computer programs, collated from open source repositories, give hands-on experience of neural networks, and PowerPoint slides provide support for teaching. Written in an informal style, with a comprehensive glossary, tutorial appendices (e.g. Bayes' theorem), and a list of further readings, this is an ideal introduction to the algorithmic engines of modern artificial intelligence.
Second Solace: A James Stone Thriller

James Stone Account Book for the Brig Polly
Account book kept by Captain James Stone, of Boston, Massachusetts, recording cargo traded aboard the brigantine Polly from 1797 to 1810, primarily in the West Indies. Commodities sold included timber, planks, shingles, staves, and payment was received in foodstuffs such as molasses, sugar, and coffee. There is also a list of expenses in 1798 for repairing the Polly after she was stranded on Plum Island, Massachusetts. Later entries dated in the 1820s and 1840s are related to farming accounts and wages paid to laborers. The final pages of the volume contain a copy of correspondence related to payment for the repair of a school in Kennebunkport, Maine, which was to be delivered via the Polly.
Platinum Mind (Book Seven)
Despite being cut-off from Panadawn and the Earth, James Stone is enjoying life on Rhyton. He has made new friends, discovered the game of 'whirlpool' and enjoyed the local entertainments. With his new-found wealth, he has managed to create a comfortable home among the students of the university. The House of a Thousand Hours has been full of delights but, unfortunately for him, scholarship has not been among them. Even with the help of Cardinal, his student assistant, he has come to realise his limitations as a student of Evigone. Ecru, on the other hand, has been absorbing books by the thousand...

Trust can get you killed.But as their paths collide, they begin to realise that having a second pair of eyes watching their back could turn the tides of their fate, and mean the difference between life and death. Non-stop nail-biting action from start to finish. Jack Reacher, John Milton and Carl Logan move aside, because James Stone is here to cause some damage.
The Humans in the Walls
“A delectable stew of fantasy, horror, hard science fiction, and alternate history in 27 sumptuous stories and one powerful novella. . . . Stunning” (Publishers Weekly). Space opera. Superheroes. Horror and fairy tales. What if there was a multi-genre story collection available from a Nebula-award winning author? Eric James Stone’s immersive collection, The Humans in the Walls, contains twenty-seven tales of science fiction and fantasy, ranging from hard science fiction to fairy-tale fantasy, from humor to horror. Within these pages you’ll find supernatural beings, uploaded brains, psychic powers, space colonies, alternate timelines, aliens, superheroes, and giant AI starships that pay little attention to The Humans in the Walls. Each story contains special commentary by the author.
Independent Component Analysis
A fundamental problem in neural network research, as well as in many other disciplines, is finding a suitable representation of multivariate data, i.e. random vectors. For reasons of computational and conceptual simplicity, the representation is often sought as a linear transformation of the original data. In other words, each component of the representation is a linear combination of the original variables. Well-known linear transformation methods include principal component analysis, factor analysis, and projection pursuit. Independent component analysis (ICA) is a recently developed method in which the goal is to find a linear representation of nongaussian data so that the components are statistically independent, or as independent as possible. Such a representation seems to capture the essential structure of the data in many applications, including feature extraction and signal separation.
