This new volume provides in-depth and detailed knowledge about the latest research in image processing and Computer Vision techniques. Explaining the Machine Learning algorithms and models involved, the authors differentiate between the various algorithms available and how to choose which to use for the most precise results for a specific task involving certain constraints. The volume provides real-world examples to illustrate the concepts and methods. The authors discuss Machine Learning in healthcare systems for detection, diagnosis, classification, and segmentation. They also explore the diverse applications of image and video processing, including image colorization and restoration using Deep Learning, using Machine Learning to record the climate changes in over time with remote sensing, and more. Machine Learning (ML) algorithms learn from data by building adaptive mathematical models which can detect the pattern in the training data. One of the applications of Machine Learning is image processing and Computer Vision.

Название: Data Analytics for Discourse Analysis with Python: The Case of Therapy Talk

This concise volume, using examples of psychotherapy talk, showcases the potential applications of data analytics for advancing discourse research and other related disciplines. The book provides a brief primer on data analytics, defined as the science of analyzing raw data to reveal new insights and support decision making. Currently underutilized in discourse research, Tay draws on the case of psychotherapy talk, in which clients’ concerns are worked through via verbal interaction with therapists, to demonstrate how data analytics can address both practical and theoretical concerns. The Python code used to implement examples in the conceptual walkthroughs and case studies will be presented as they are discussed, for readers to try them out as they go along. The various code snippets throughout will be presented again at the end of each chapter to provide a bird’s-eye view of the logical flow of the techniques and their components. All code and data files are also available upon request and stored on my GitHub site. The numerical representation of different aspects of texts to facilitate subsequent quantitative analysis is a basic task in fields like corpus linguistics and natural language processing (NLP).

The Practical Philosophy of AI-Assistants presents a formal conversation between an AI engineer, Peter, and a humanities researcher, Suman. The book ensures that specialist concepts in AI research are made comprehensible to a humanities researcher, while humanities theories can be easily grasped by an AI engineer. The authors establish ground rules to design an AI-Assistant, that is, an AI system that could act as a personal friend, consultant and confidante for every individual, to be integrated into our daily lives. These rules apply to four large areas of AI development: recognition and identification, communication, explanation, and civility. In discussing these areas, this book provides an accessible account of the current state of AI research, as well as adding nuance to the underpinning assumptions informing the relevant technologies, reflecting on their social implications. The broader ideological objective of The Practical Philosophy of AI-Assistants is captured by the phrase 'practical philosophy', which expresses a commitment to bringing AI development to work towards a good life for all.

This book shows how different types of motion can be disambiguated into their components in a richer way than that currently possible in computer vision. Previous research of motion analysis has generally not yet considered the basic nature of higher orders of motion such as acceleration. Hence, this book introduces an approximation of the acceleration field using established optical flow techniques. Further, acceleration is decomposed into radial and tangential based on geometry and propagated as a general motion descriptor; this book shows the capability for differentiating different types of motion both on synthesized data and real image sequences. Beyond acceleration, the higher orders of motion flow and their continuant parts are investigated for further revealing the chaotic motion fields. Naturally, it is possible to extend this notion further: to detect higher orders of image motion. In this respect, this book shows how jerk and snap can be obtained from image sequences. The derived results on test images and heel strike detection in gait analysis illustrate the ability of higher-order motion, which provide the basis for the following research and applications in the future.

The New State of the Art in Information Security: From Cloud to Crypto, AI-Driven Security to Post-Quantum Computing. Now extensively updated throughout, Security in Computing, Sixth Edition, is today's one-stop, primary text for everyone teaching, learning, and practicing information cybersecurity. It defines core principles associated with modern security policies, processes, and protection; illustrates them with up-to-date sidebars and examples; and shows how to apply them in practice. Modular and flexibly organized, it supports a wide array of courses, strengthens professionals' knowledge of foundational principles; and imparts a more expansive understanding of modern security. Cryptography is a specialized topic that depends on several areas of mathematics and theoretical computer science, including number theory, finite field algebra, computational complexity, and logic. After reading this overview, you would need to develop a significant background to study cryptography in depth. And we caution you strongly against studying a little cryptography and concluding that you can design your own secure cryptosystem. The field of cryptography is littered with failed approaches designed even by experts, so nonexperts are well advised to “leave the driving to the professionals.”
