We commonly think of society as made of and by humans, but with the proliferation of machine learning and AI technologies, this is clearly no longer the case. Billions of automated systems tacitly contribute to the social construction of reality by drawing algorithmic distinctions between the visible and the invisible, the relevant and the irrelevant, the likely and the unlikel...(展开全部)

Machine learning has gained tremendous popularity for its powerful and fast predictions with large datasets. However, the true forces behind its powerful output are the complex algorithms involving substantial statistical analysis that churn large datasets and generate substantial insight.This second edition of Machine Learning Algorithms walks you through prominent development outcomes that have taken place relating to machine learning algorithms, which constitute major contributions to the machine learning process and help you to strengthen and master statistical interpretation across the areas of supervised, semi-supervised, and reinforcement learning. Once the core concepts of an algorithm have been covered, you’ll explore real-world examples based on the most diffused libraries, such as scikit-learn, NLTK, TensorFlow, and Keras. You will discover new topics such as principal component analysis (PCA), independent component analysis (ICA), Bayesian regression, discriminant analysis, advanced clustering, and gaussian mixture.By the end of this book, you will have studied machine learning algorithms and be able to put them into production to make your machine learning applications more innovative.

The influence of Pierre Bourdieu―one of the most protean intellectual forces in contemporary French thought―extends far beyond is home discipline of sociological research and thought. His work, presented in over twenty books, lies on the borders of philosophy, anthropology and ethnology, and cultural theory. The present volume consists of diverse individual texts, produced betw...(展开全部)

For too long, argues Richard Harvey Brown, social scientists have felt forced to choose between imitating science's empirical methodology and impersonating a romantic notion of art, the methods of which are seen as primarily a matter of intuition, interpretation, and opinion. Developing the idea of a "cognitive aesthetic," Brown shows how both science and art--as well as the hu...(展开全部)

作者简介 亚伯拉罕·马斯洛（Abraham H.Maslow） 现当代世界最有影响力的心理学家、人本主义心理学的主要发起者和理论家、管理学大师、第三代心理学的开创者。 出生于美国纽约市布鲁克林区，在纽约城市大学城市学院和威斯康星大学接受教育。在担任布兰迪斯大学心理学系主任之前，他在布鲁克林学院担任教职十四年。1967—1968年担任美国心理学学会主席。主要著作有《动机与人格》《需要与成长：存在心理学探索》《人性能达到的境界》《科学心理学》等。 马斯洛的人本主义心理学是美国20世纪下半叶崛起的新的心理学派，冲击着当代西方的心理学体系，相对与以弗洛伊德为代表的精神分析学的“第一思潮”和以华生为代表的行为主义的“第二思潮”，形成了心理学的“第三思潮”。

This book is an ideal and relevant source of content for data science professionals who want to delve into complex machine learning algorithms, calibrate models, and improve the predictions of the trained model. A basic knowledge of machine learning is preferred to get the best out of this guide.

Art history traditionally classifies works of art by country as well as period, but often political borders and cultural boundaries are highly complex and fluid. Questions of identity, policy, and exchange make it difficult to determine the "place" of art, and often the art itself results from these conflicts of geography and culture. Addressing an important approach to art his...(展开全部)

Western culture has endlessly represented the ways in which love miraculously erupts in people's lives – the mythical moment in which one knows someone is destined to us, the feverish waiting for a phone call or an email, the thrill that runs our spine at the mere thought of him or her. To be in love is to become an adept of Plato, to see through a person an idea, perfect and c...(展开全部)
