A detailed and up-to-date introduction to machine learning, presented through the unifying lens of probabilistic modeling and Bayesian decision theory. This book offers a detailed and up-to-date introduction to machine learning (including deep learning) through the unifying lens of probabilistic modeling and Bayesian decision theory. The book covers mathematical background (including linear algebra and optimization), basic supervised learning (including linear and logistic regression and deep neural networks), as well as more advanced topics (including transfer learning and unsupervised learning). End-of-chapter exercises allow students to apply what they have learned, and an appendix covers...
This immensely practical guide to PIV provides a condensed, yet exhaustive guide to most of the information needed for experiments employing the technique. This second edition has updated chapters on the principles and extra information on microscopic, high-speed and three component measurements as well as a description of advanced evaluation techniques. What’s more, the huge increase in the range of possible applications has been taken into account as the chapter describing these applications of the PIV technique has been expanded.
“A mosaic mystery told in vignettes, cliffhangers, curious asides, and some surreal plot twists as Raffel investigates the secrets of the man who changed infant care in America.”—NPR, 2018's Great Reads What kind of doctor puts his patients on display? This is the spellbinding tale of a mysterious Coney Island doctor who revolutionized neonatal care more than one hundred years ago and saved some seven thousand babies. Dr. Martin Couney's story is a kaleidoscopic ride through the intersection of ebullient entrepreneurship, enlightened pediatric care, and the wild culture of world's fairs at the beginning of the American Century. As Dawn Raffel recounts, Dr. Couney used incubators and ca...
When Randy and his best friend, Raffel, encounter an accident, they soon realise that it wasn't an accident, but a well-planned murder! Life takes a different path whend Randy sees a portal - in his own house. Randy realises about the existence of another world and he also realises that he is a long-lost member of the world. He learns about his dark history and he realises that it is up to him to stand up against the dark force that has captivated the world.
DIVA frank and insightful memoir of a life spent in publishing, by one of literature’s most legendary agents/divDIV Sterling Lord has led an extraordinary life, from his youth in small-town Iowa to his post-war founding and editing of an English-language magazine in Paris, followed by his move to New York City to become one of the most powerful literary agents in the field. As agent to Jack Kerouac, Ken Kesey, and countless others—ranging from Jimmy Breslin and Rocky Graziano to the Berenstains and four US cabinet members—Lord is the decisive influence and authors’ confidant who has engineered some of the most important book deals in literary history. In Lord of Publishing, his memoir of life and work (and tennis), Lord reveals that he is also a consummate storyteller. Witty and wise, he brings to life what was arguably the greatest era of book publishing, and gives a brilliant insider’s scoop on the key figures of the book business—as well as some of the most remarkable books and authors of our time. /div
This book provides a comprehensive guide to 3D Light-Field camera based imaging, exploring the working principles, developments and its applications in fluid mechanics and aerodynamics measurements. It begins by discussing the fundamentals of Light-Field imaging and theoretical resolution analysis, before touching upon the detailed optics design and micro-lens array assembly. Subsequently, Light-Field calibration methods that compensate for optical distortions and establish the relations between the image and real-word 3D coordinates are covered. This is followed by Light-Field 3D reconstruction algorithms which are elaborated for micrometer-scale particles and centimeter-scale physical models. Last but not least, implementations of the preceding procedures to selected fundamental and applied flow measurement scenarios are provided at the end of the book. Development and Application of Light-Field Cameras in Fluid Measurements gives an in-depth analysis of each topic discussed, making it ideal as both an introductory and reference guide for researchers and postgraduates interested in 3D flow measurements.
