From Artificial Intelligence to Brain Intelligence
Research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not new, it has been around since 1950’s. AI resurfaced at that time while Moore’s law was on an aggressive path of scaling, with the transformation of NMOS and later bipolar technology to CMOS for high performance, low power as well as low cost applications.Several breakthroughs in the electronics industry helped to push Moore’s law in chip miniaturization along with increased computing power (parallel and distributed processing) and memory bandwidth. Once this paradigm shift occurred it naturally opened doors for AI as it required big data manipulations, and thus AI could thrive again. AI has already shown success in industries such as fina...
Boom
A timely investigation of the causes of technological and scientific stagnation, and a radical blueprint for accelerating innovation. “Read this book for the alternative history of our age.” —Peter Thiel, investor and author of Zero to One “A must-read for those who seek to build the future.” —Marc Andreessen, cofounder of Netscape and Andreessen Horowitz From the Moon landing to the dawning of the atomic age, the decades prior to the 1970s were characterized by the routine invention of transformative technologies at breakneck speed. By comparison, ours is an age of stagnation. Median wage growth has slowed, inequality and income concentration are on the rise, and scientific rese...
The Science of Science
This is the first comprehensive overview of the exciting field of the 'science of science'. With anecdotes and detailed, easy-to-follow explanations of the research, this book is accessible to all scientists, policy makers, and administrators with an interest in the wider scientific enterprise.
Natural Language Processing
This undergraduate textbook introduces essential machine learning concepts in NLP in a unified and gentle mathematical framework.
Representation Learning for Natural Language Processing
This book provides an overview of the recent advances in representation learning theory, algorithms, and applications for natural language processing (NLP), ranging from word embeddings to pre-trained language models. It is divided into four parts. Part I presents the representation learning techniques for multiple language entries, including words, sentences and documents, as well as pre-training techniques. Part II then introduces the related representation techniques to NLP, including graphs, cross-modal entries, and robustness. Part III then introduces the representation techniques for the knowledge that are closely related to NLP, including entity-based world knowledge, sememe-based lin...
Cosmic Messengers
Focusing on the ultimate limits of observational astronomy, Harwit explores how well we will ever understand the Universe.
Curious Minds
An exhilarating, genre-bending exploration of curiosity’s powerful capacity to connect ideas and people. Curious about something? Google it. Look at it. Ask a question. But is curiosity simply information seeking? According to this exhilarating, genre-bending book, what’s left out of the conventional understanding of curiosity are the wandering tracks, the weaving concepts, the knitting of ideas, and the thatching of knowledge systems—the networks, the relations between ideas and between people. Curiosity, say Perry Zurn and Dani Bassett, is a practice of connection: it connects ideas into networks of knowledge, and it connects knowers themselves, both to the knowledge they seek and to...
Human Frontiers
Why has the flow of big, world-changing ideas slowed down? A provocative look at what happens next at the frontiers of human knowledge. The history of humanity is the history of big ideas that expand our frontiers—from the wheel to space flight, cave painting to the massively multiplayer game, monotheistic religion to quantum theory. And yet for the past few decades, apart from a rush of new gadgets and the explosion of digital technology, world-changing ideas have been harder to come by. Since the 1970s, big ideas have happened incrementally—recycled, focused in narrow bands of innovation. In this provocative book, Michael Bhaskar looks at why the flow of big, world-changing ideas has s...
The Trajectory of Discovery
Explores the forces determining the trajectory of medical progress, bringing together scientific policy, economics, sociology and innovation.
