Perturbations, Optimization, and Statistics
A description of perturbation-based methods developed in machine learning to augment novel optimization methods with strong statistical guarantees. In nearly all machine learning, decisions must be made given current knowledge. Surprisingly, making what is believed to be the best decision is not always the best strategy, even when learning in a supervised learning setting. An emerging body of work on learning under different rules applies perturbations to decision and learning procedures. These methods provide simple and highly efficient learning rules with improved theoretical guarantees. This book describes perturbation-based methods developed in machine learning to augment novel optimization methods with strong statistical guarantees, offering readers a state-of-the-art overview. Chapters address recent modeling ideas that have arisen within the perturbations framework, including Perturb & MAP, herding, and the use of neural networks to map generic noise to distribution over highly structured data. They describe new learning procedures for perturbation models, including an improved EM algorithm and a learning algorithm that aims to match moments of model samples to moments of data. They discuss understanding the relation of perturbation models to their traditional counterparts, with one chapter showing that the perturbations viewpoint can lead to new algorithms in the traditional setting. And they consider perturbation-based regularization in neural networks, offering a more complete understanding of dropout and studying perturbations in the context of deep neural networks.

AI Revolution
The History of Artificial IntelligenceIn the Age of AI Alchemy, where data is transformed into gold, it is essential to understand the roots of artificial intelligence (AI) and how it has evolved over time. From its humble beginnings to the cutting-edge technologies of today, the history of AI is a fascinating journey that has shaped the world we live in.The concept of AI can be traced back to antiquity, with mythical tales of statues and machines brought to life. However, the true birth of AI as a field of study began in the 1950s. During this time, scientists and researchers started exploring the idea of creating machines capable of human-like intelligence. The term "artificial intelligence" was coined by John McCarthy, who organized the Dartmouth Conference in 1956, widely considered the birthplace of AI.In the following decades, AI research faced both breakthroughs and setbacks. Early AI systems showed promise in solving complex problems, such as playing chess or proving mathematical theorems. However, limitations in computing power and a lack of data hindered progress. The field entered a period known as the "AI winter," where enthusiasm waned, and funding for AI research diminished.But in the 1990s, AI experienced a renaissance. Advances in computing power, the availability of large datasets, and innovative algorithms paved the way for significant breakthroughs. Machine learning, a subfield of AI that focuses on algorithms and statistical models, gained traction. This led to the development of practical applications like speech recognition, image classification, and recommender systems.In recent years, AI has made remarkable strides. Deep learning, a subset of machine learning, has propelled AI into new frontiers. Inspired by the structure of the human brain, deep learning models called neural networks have achieved unprecedented accuracy in tasks such as natural language processing and computer vision. This has enabled the rise of AI-powered technologies like virtual assistants, autonomous vehicles, and personalized healthcare.As AI continues to evolve, it is transforming various sectors of society. From finance to healthcare, education to entertainment, AI is reshaping the way we live, work, and interact. Its potential is boundless, with possibilities to solve global challenges, revolutionize industries, and enhance human capabilities
Communication Patterns
Having a great idea or design is not enough to make your software project succeed. If you want stakeholders to buy into your design and teams to collaborate and contribute to the vision, you also need to communicate effectively. In this practical book, author Jacqui Read shows you how to successfully present your architecture and get stakeholders to jump on board. Misunderstanding and lack of buy-in leads to increasing costs, unmet requirements, and an architecture that is not what you intended. Through constructive examples and patterns, this book shows you how to create documentation and diagrams that actually get the message across to the different audiences you'll face. This book shows you how to: Design diagrams and documentation appropriate to your expected audience, intended message, and project stage Create documentation and diagrams that are accessible to those with varying roles, needs, or disabilities Master written, verbal, and nonverbal communication to succeed in technical settings Apply the communication patterns presented in this book in real-world projects and software designs Communicate and collaborate with distributed teams to successfully design and document software and technical projects
