引用德國萊比錫管理學院（HHL Leipzig）教授梅因哈特（Timo Meynhardt）話來說，約瑟夫˙馬齊里洛是彼得˙杜拉克的「合法繼承人」。然而，約瑟夫˙馬齊里洛本身也是一位學者，有他個人的興趣、熱情、貢獻和觀點。本書（他的最後遺作）表達了他作為思想家、作家，尤其是影響了眾多世人的個人特質。《原則：指引人類邁向更崇高的目標》這本書，闡明了約瑟夫對於管理學成為一門博雅技藝的理解和個人的解讀。正如他在〈內容提要〉中所言，這本書旨在提供有關卓越領導力的一些短文。雖然杜拉克在他的寫作中很少使用「領導力」（leadership）這個詞，但約瑟夫在這部著作中欣然接受了這個詞，聲稱領導力是管理學成為一門博雅技藝的基礎。本書證明了約瑟夫多年來處理杜拉克的想法、理念、理論和方法，然後將之應用於他自己的想法、概念、理論和方法。這本書固然是杜拉克資料的綜合體，卻也是約瑟夫．馬齊里洛多年的研究、思維和獨特處理方法的產物。作者利用四年時間彙整出七篇傳記類的短文。這些短文經由長時間孕育而成，在本書中交織成一個卓越領導力的故事。每一篇短文都有一個獨特、鮮明的主題，串聯到這個卓越領導力的故事。這七篇短文固然皆以卓越領導力為主題，但各有不同的背景。林肯（Abraham Lincoln）是典範，是美國培育出來的卓越領導力中最重要的表率；另外六篇短文接棒林肯的故事，各自闡述優質領導力的其他面向。第二篇短文聚焦於打破美國職棒大聯盟的膚色藩籬。布魯克林道奇隊的總經理芮基（Branch Ricky），在一九四六年簽下羅賓森（Jackie Roosevelt Robinson）。羅賓森是傑出的黑人運動員，勇於面對種族歧視的羞辱，忍氣吞聲、絕不還擊。他先在道奇隊位於蒙特婁的小聯盟球隊出賽，後來在一九四六年球季尾聲升上大聯盟。若要創造出更包容、更有效能的社會，我們必須師法羅賓森和芮基的決定。接下來的三篇短文有些類似的特色，雖不像前兩者那麼廣為人知，但各有其強勁有力之處。這三篇分別是：●〈可攜式維生系統〉（PLSS）：一九六九年七月二十九日首次登陸月球的太空人，使用的登月小艇環境控制系統（ECS）。●〈船上男孩〉（The Boys in The Boat）：這篇短文依據布朗（Daniel James Brown）的小說寫就，描述華盛頓大學划船隊勇奪一九三六年柏林奧運金牌的經過。●〈冰上奇蹟〉（Miracle

The origins of the F-35 and the amazing challenges the industry had to be overcome go back to a still-secret NATO study that evaluated the vulnerability of air force bases in the West.This spurred development for Short Take off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) fighter aircraft. Only two aircraft with this capability actually entered service, the British Harrier and the Russian Yak-38. However, these aircraft lacked supersonic capability which made them vulnerable to faster fighters. So a programme was initiated for a supersonic STOVL fighter - but the trail of unsuccessful efforts was long. NASA, as well as the defense Evaluation and Research Agency and private industry, studied advanced STOVL propulsion ideas but without tangible result. It was only when the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, at the request of the Marine Corps, issued study contracts for a supersonic STOVL fighter to American industry that real progress began to be made.It was Lockheed Martin that came up finally

Can we ever go home again? This question lies at the heart of Homecomings by Wong Yoon Wah, a veteran Singaporean poet and a prominent voice in global Chinese literature.In these poems, Wong delves into his country’s precolonial and colonial history, the natural heritage of the rainforest, his memories of his kampung hometown, his heartbreak at the closure of Nanyang University, and the global traumas of European colonisation and the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.He expresses the loneliness and dislocation of the Chinese diaspora, as well as the sorrow of his generation as so many of their cultural touchstones are destroyed in the name of progress. At the same time, he embraces a planetary mode of thinking, sensing rapport with fellow humans from distant cultures and geographies, identifying even with the plants and animals that compose our ecosystem.Filled with nostalgia, bitter irony and strange beauty, Homecomings is a love letter to the past, revisiting its glories, making peace with t

※本書結構本書共5篇，第1篇、第2篇重點介紹以YOLO為代表的一階段物件辨識神經網路；第3篇、第4篇重點介紹物件辨識神經網路在雲端和邊緣端的部署，其中對邊緣端的量化原理進行了重點介紹；第5篇重點介紹當前較為流行的自動駕駛的資料計算原理和物件辨識。本書實用性非常強，既適合對電腦視覺具有一定了解的高等院校大學生、所究所學生及具有轉型意願的軟體工程師入門學習，又適合電腦視覺工程項目研發和營運人員參考閱讀。第1篇，以知名電腦視覺競賽任務為例，旨在介紹物件辨識應用場景下的基本概念和約定，以及資料標注工具和格式，讓讀者具備特徵融合網路、預測網路的設計能力。對於資料後處理技術則介紹了解碼網路、資料重網路拓樸路、NMS演算法等後處理演算法，在此基礎上結合各式各樣的骨幹網路，讀者就可以架設完整的一階段物件辨識神經網路模型了。第2篇，旨在介紹物件辨識神經網路的訓練全流程。本篇從資料集製作到損失函式設計，從訓練資料監控到NaN或INF異常處理，特別是對不同損失函式的設計，進行了非常詳細的原理性闡述。相比神經網路設計，損失函式的設計是最具有可解釋性的，也是電腦視覺研究中比較容易出成果的研究方向。第3篇，旨在運用物件辨識神經網路的訓練成果，架設完整的物件辨識推理模型。推理模型支援雲端部署和邊緣端部署。對於雲端部署，以主流的亞馬遜雲端為例介紹；對於邊緣端部署，以GoogleCoral開發板為例，介紹神經網路量化模型的基礎原理和模型編譯邏輯。第4篇，結合作者主導過的智慧交通、智慧後勤等專案，旨在介紹實際電腦視覺資料增強技術，以及神經網路性能評估的原理和具體應用。本篇還結合應用同樣廣泛的算能科技（比特中國）SE5邊緣計算閘道和瑞芯微RK3588邊緣計算系統，介紹實際專案中如何使用邊緣計算硬體加速人工智慧的產業化應用。根據邊緣計算硬體特性對神經網路進行針對性修改，是真正考驗一個開發者對神經網路理解程度的試金石。跟隨本書介紹熟練掌握2～3款邊緣計算硬體，就能更快速地將電腦視覺應用到實際生產中，在具體應用中創造價值。第5篇，旨在將讀者引入三維電腦視覺中最重要的應用領域之一：自動駕駛。圍繞KITTI資料集，本篇介紹了自動駕駛資料的計算原理，並重點介紹了PointNet++等多個三維物件辨識神經網路。附錄列表說明了本書所參考的物件辨識原始程式碼、Python運行環境架設，以及TensorFlow的基本操作。
