Digital technologies have changed architecture--the way it is taught, practiced, managed, and regulated. But if the digital has created a "paradigm shift" for architecture, which paradigm is shifting? In The Alphabet and the Algorithm, Mario Carpo points to one key practice of modernity: the making of identical copies. Carpo highlights two examples of identicality crucial to th...(展开全部)

This book presents an organized and well-knit account of the theory, methodology, extensions, and major applications of the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm. It includes applications in the standard statistical contexts such as regression, factor analysis, variance components estimation, repeated-measures designs, categorical data analysis, survival analysis and survey s...(展开全部)

在线阅读本书 The EM Algorithm and Extensions remains the only single source to offer a complete and unified treatment of the theory, methodology, and applications of the EM algorithm. The highly applied area of statistics here outlined involves applications in regression, medical imaging, finite mixture analysis, robust statistical modeling, survival analysis, and repeated–measures ...(展开全部)

A graphical representation of the alphabet gives a new view of the letters, from the A that crumbles as an avalanche approaches to the D that glows with the light of the devil.

Over the course of a generation, algorithms have gone from mathematical abstractions to powerful mediators of daily life. Algorithms have made our lives more efficient, more entertaining, and, sometimes, better informed. At the same time, complex algorithms are increasingly violating the basic rights of individual citizens. Allegedly anonymized datasets routinely leak our most ...(展开全部)
