Machine Learning Algorithms for Problem Solving in Computational Applications

Artificial intelligence (AI) stands out as a transformational technology of the digital age. Its practical applications are growing very rapidly. One of the chief reasons AI applications are attaining prominence, is in its design to learn continuously, from real-world use and experience, and its capability to improve its performance.It is no wonder that the applications of AI span from complex high-technology equipment manufacturing to personalized exclusive recommendations to end-users. Many deployments of AI software, given its continuous learning need, require computation platforms that are resource intense, and have sustained connectivity and perpetual power through central electrical grid. In order to harvest the benefits of AI revolution to all of humanity, traditional AI software development paradigms must be upgraded to function effectively in environments that have resource constraints, small form factor computational devices with limited power, devices with intermittent or no

This reference book compiles the recent advances in computational and experimental modeling to screen and manage Alzheimer's disease. The book discusses how computer-aided drug design approaches reduc

The Strategy and Tactics of Pricing is the most well-established and influential strategic pricing text available, relied on by practitioners and students globally as a core guide for value-based pricing. The book explains how to balance the ability to create and extract value through from markets by managing pricing decisions in a more strategic and profitable manner. Rather than calculating prices to cover costs or to achieve sales goals, readers will learn to frame more strategic choices that proactively influence customer perceptions of value, manage internal costs, and profitably shift demand curves.This edition features new discussions on harnessing concepts from behavioral economics as well as a refined "value cascade" to help organize the topics covered in this book. Readers will also benefit from:1.Major revisions to more than a third of the chapters, including an expanded discussion of the role of artificial intelligence and machine learning analytics tools to assist in the e

This book provides a general framework for learning sparse graphical models with conditional independence tests. It includes complete treatments for Gaussian, Poisson, multinomial, and mixed data; uni

The Web of Things (WoT) is a concept that describes approaches, programming tools and software architectural systems, which interface networks of real-world objects with the World Wide Web. The book is organized into 11 chapters, each focusing on a unique wireless technological aspect of the Web of Things, and it aims to comprehensively cover each of its various applications, including:A strong emphasis on WoT problems and solutions, identifying the main open issues, innovations and latest technologies behind WoTA blend of theoretical and simulation-based problems for better understanding of the concepts behind WoTVarious exemplifying applications in which the use of WoT is very attractive and an inspiration for future applicationsThe book will be useful to researchers, software developers and undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as practitioners.

This timely book explores the concept of truth in the discipline of history and argues that history education must evolve to combat the post-truth crisis. This book is essential reading for history educators, historians and those interested in history and concerned about the slide into a post-truth world.
