Generative AI has made amazing advances in the last year, and customer service and support is one of the most important areas where this new technology can have an immediate impact. While the technology is not yet in a place where it will fully replace agents and support engineers, it can do wonders to dramatically improve customer experience while also contribute to the optimization of productivity in various ways. This book help readers understand how and where to incorporate AI technology into the flow of the customer experience. In the 2020s and beyond, AI is entering a new frontier of generative technologies, which aim to create novel and realistic content, such as images, texts, sounds, and videos. Generative technologies use deep learning models, such as generative adversarial networks (GANs), variational autoencoders (VAEs), and large language models (LLMs), to generate content that is indistinguishable from human-produced content. Generative technologies have various applications, such as art, entertainment, education, and communication. One of the most exciting and challenging areas of generative technologies is natural language generation (NLG), which generates natural language text from a given input, such as an image, a keyword, or a prompt. Some of the most notable and influential LLMs include GPTs, BERT, XLNet, T5, and DALL-E, which have been developed and released by leading research labs and companies, such as OpenAI, Google, Facebook, and Microsoft. LLMs have also enabled and inspired the creation and innovation of various applications and products, such as chatbots, assistants, recommender systems, content generators, summarizers, translators, analyzers, or synthesizers, which have been deployed and adopted by various industries and sectors, such as education, health, business, media, entertainment, or art, among others.

This book is designed to provide in-depth knowledge on how search plays a fundamental role in problem solving. Meant for undergraduate and graduate students pursuing courses in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, it covers a wide spectrum of search methods. Readers will be able to begin with simple approaches and gradually progress to more complex algorithms applied to a variety of problems. It demonstrates that search is all pervasive in Artificial Intelligence and equips the reader with the relevant skills. This book is meant for the serious practitioner-to-be of constructing intelligent machines. Machines that are aware of the world around them, that have goals to achieve, and the ability to imagine the future and make appropriate choices to achieve those goals. It is an introduction to a fundamental building block of Artificial Intelligence (AI). As the book shows, search is central to intelligence. A neuron is a simple device that computes a simple function of the inputs it receives. Collections of interconnected neurons can do complex computations. Insights into animal brains have prompted many researchers to pursue the path of creating artificial neural networks (ANNs). An ANN is a computational model that can be trained to perform certain tasks by repeatedly showing a stimulus and the expected response. Deep networks got further impetus with the availability of open source software like Tensorflow from Google that makes the task of implementing Machine Learning models easier for researchers. More recently, generative neural networks have been successfully deployed for language generation and even creating paintings, for example, from OpenAI. Generative models embody a form of unsupervised learning from large amounts of data, and are then trained to generate data like the one the algorithms were trained on.

The French School of Programming is a collection of insightful discussions of programming and software engineering topics, by some of the most prestigious names of French Computer Science. The authors include several of the originators of such widely acclaimed inventions as abstract interpretation, the Caml, OCaml and Eiffel programming languages, the Coq proof assistant, agents and modern testing techniques. The book is divided into four parts, reflecting the diversity of interests in the French community and each of them corresponding to an area in which it has made major contributions over several decades: • Software engineering (Part I); • Programming language mechanism and type systems (Part II); • Theory (Part III); • Language design and programming methodology (Part IV). Object-oriented programming, software components and multi-agent systems are some examples of approaches for software design and development with significant impact. Both offer abstractions for organizing software as a combination of software elements, with a common objective of facilitating its evolution (first of all, replacement and addition of elements).

This comprehensive guide is designed for both beginners eager to lay a solid foundation and experienced programmers seeking to refine their skills in C and C++. Starting with the basics, the book introduces readers to the fundamental concepts of C programming, including variables, data types, and control structures, before advancing to more complex topics such as memory management and system programming. Transitioning to C++, the text explores object-oriented programming, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism, equipping readers with the tools necessary to create robust and efficient software. Each chapter includes real-world examples, practical coding exercises, and challenges that build progressively, ensuring that readers not only understand the theoretical underpinnings but also gain hands-on experience. "Navigating the Worlds of C and C++" also delves into the nuances that differentiate C from C++, providing a comparative analysis that clarifies when and why to use each language effectively. One of the significant additions in C++ is support for object-oriented programming (OOP). Object-oriented programming is a programming paradigm that focuses on organizing code into reusable objects. This book is not just a learning tool; it is a reference guide that programmers will return to time and again. Whether you're developing system software, designing new applications, or optimizing existing code, this book offers indispensable insights into mastering the power of C and C++. With a clear, engaging narrative and expert advice, it stands as an essential resource for anyone serious about programming and software development.

This textbook concentrates on processes, activities and results related to Software Architectures. It describes the separation of architecture artefacts corresponding to their nature, their logical or their modeling level on one hand and at the same time emphasizes their integration based on their mutual relations. Design or development processes demand for integration, as different artifacts must be elaborated, which are mutually dependent and need to be in a consistent form. The term Software Architecture tries to introduce a similar understanding in the field of software system construction. We see that by looking at the covers of many books on software architectures, which mostly contain a building or a fragment thereof on the cover page (a bridge, a cathedral, a part of the outer shell). The software architecture is the essential description in the whole development process for software, it fixes the most important decisions, it determines the long-term properties of the software, and it predetermines management, quality, and documentation of the process and the final product. Architecture modeling is the most influential subprocess of software development or maintenance, and the software architecture is the key to all results of that process. Nevertheless, there are different approaches to software architectures, with respect to how to think, how to denote, and how to interrelate architectures with other results of the development process. Surprisingly, there are topics, which are important for software architectures or their influence on the development process, which are not or not deeply enough discussed in software architecture textbooks. This statement applies to all software architecture books, irrespective, which approaches they follow. This finding led to this book and, more specifically, also to the title of this book.
