La tenue luz de las luciérnagas
Dice Juan Carlos Volnovich en el prólogo de este libro: “Cuando aún niño recibí de regalo mi primera máquina fotográfica quedé fascinado por el zoom: esa posibilidad de acceder de lejos a una imagen que, con solo girar el objetivo, se iba acercando… acercando… ampliando hasta tener frente a mí los detalles más sutiles de la figura. Cuando leí por primera vez La tenue luz de las luciérnagas volví a sentir una fascinación similar ante ese juego de mirar el campo ampliado del abuso sexual intrafamiliar e ir introduciéndose gradualmente hasta en sus más íntimas determinaciones, juego que las autoras despliegan magistralmente” (…). Postergué la redacción de este prólo...
Psychiatric Interview of Children and Adolescents
Eliciting useful information from young patients and their families is both a skill and an art, and Psychiatric Interview of Children and Adolescents, an exceptionally practical and comprehensive guide, enables mental health clinicians and trainees to first improve their interviewing skills and then organize and integrate the information derived from the interview to construct an effective treatment program. This book, building on the success of its predecessor, Clinical Manual of Psychiatric Interview of Children and Adolescents, offers updated and revised material, as well as expanded coverage that includes new findings and addresses emerging issues in the field. For example, a new chapter...
Philosophy and Theory of Artificial Intelligence
Can we make machines that think and act like humans or other natural intelligent agents? The answer to this question depends on how we see ourselves and how we see the machines in question. Classical AI and cognitive science had claimed that cognition is computation, and can thus be reproduced on other computing machines, possibly surpassing the abilities of human intelligence. This consensus has now come under threat and the agenda for the philosophy and theory of AI must be set anew, re-defining the relation between AI and Cognitive Science. We can re-claim the original vision of general AI from the technical AI disciplines; we can reject classical cognitive science and replace it with a new theory (e.g. embodied); or we can try to find new ways to approach AI, for example from neuroscience or from systems theory. To do this, we must go back to the basic questions on computing, cognition and ethics for AI. The 30 papers in this volume provide cutting-edge work from leading researchers that define where we stand and where we should go from here.
Kernel Mean Embedding of Distributions
Provides a comprehensive review of kernel mean embeddings of distributions and, in the course of doing so, discusses some challenging issues that could potentially lead to new research directions. The targeted audience includes graduate students and researchers in machine learning and statistics.
Yossel Rakover Speaks to God
There are two stories here. One is the now legendary tale of a defiant Jew's refusal to abandon God, even in the face of the greatest suffering the world has known, a testament of faith that has taken on an unpredictable and fascinating life of its own and has often been thought to be a direct testament from the Holocaust. The parallel story is that of Zvi Kolitz, the true author, whose connection to Yosl Rakover has been obscured over the fifty years since its original appearance. German journalist Paul Badde tells how a young man came to write this classic response to evil, and then was nearly written out of its history. With brief commentaries by French philosopher Emmanuel Levinas and Leon Wieseltier, author of Kaddish, this edition presents a religious classic and the very human story behind it.
Using Inertial Sensors for Position and Orientation Estimation
Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) inertial sensors have become ubiquitous in modern society. Built into mobile telephones, gaming consoles, virtual reality headsets, we use such sensors on a daily basis. They also have applications in medical therapy devices, motion-capture filming, traffic monitoring systems, and drones. While providing accurate measurements over short time scales, this diminishes over longer periods. To date, this problem has been resolved by combining them with additional sensors and models. This adds both expense and size to the devices. This tutorial focuses on the signal processing aspects of position and orientation estimation using inertial sensors. It discusses different modelling choices and a selected number of important algorithms that engineers can use to select the best options for their designs. The algorithms include optimization-based smoothing and filtering as well as computationally cheaper extended Kalman filter and complementary filter implementations. Engineers, researchers, and students deploying MEMS inertial sensors will find that this tutorial is an essential monograph on how to optimize their designs.
Stan and Mabel
"Music-loving dog and cat, Stan and Mabel, are off to find their neighbour, who's gone to judge 'The Best Orchestra in the World' competition. Little do they know, they'll be forming an amazing animal orchestra of their own!" --Publisher,
Origins of the Greek Verb
This book traces the evolution of the Indo-European verbal system from the early proto-language to the period of the first Greek texts.
Labour in a Single Shot
The book both extends and reflects upon a large-scale, international art project that has taken the form of an online database and numerous exhibitions (including the Venice Biennale and other important venues). The essays explore the social, political, and ethical ramifications of documenting global labour with a roving camera that often operates in close proximity to its human subjects. The inclusion of Antje Ehmann's journal entries, translated for the first time into English, will offer a real-time account of the workshops that will complement the scholarly essays' accounts of the videos.
