Timely and reliable information on natural resources, regarding their potential and limitations, is a prerequisite for sustainable development. Geospatial technologies offer immense potential in providing such information in a timely and cost-effective manner. Using orbital sensors data in conjunction with airborne and proximal sensors to generate information on soils and agricultural resources, forests, mineral resources, fossil fuel, wetlands, water resources, and marine resources, this book focuses on the advancements in technologies applicable to managing these resources. It addresses global issues like climate change and land degradation neutrality and introduces Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) as a mechanism for sharing geospatial data. It also provides in-depth discussion on drones, crowdsourcing, cloud computing, Internet of Things, machine learning, and their applications.Features Provides a comprehensive resource on the latest developments in geospatial technologies and the

This book provides a comprehensive foundation of machine learning. To answer the questions of what to learn, how to learn, what to get from learning, and how to evaluate, as well as what is meant by learning, the book focuses on the fundamental basics of machine learning, its methodology, theory, algorithms, and evaluations, together with some philosophical thinking on comparison between machine learning and human learning for machinery intelligence.The book is organized as follows: Introduction (Chapter 1), Evaluation (Chapter 2), Supervised learning (Chapters 3, 4, and 5), Unsupervised learning (Chapter 6), Representation learning (Chapter 7), Problem decomposition (Chapter 8), Ensemble learning (Chapter 9), Deep learning (Chapter 10), Application (Chapter 11), and Challenges (Chapter 12).The book can be used as a textbook for college, undergraduate, graduate and PhD students majored in computer science, automation, electronic engineering, communication, ect. It can also be used as

Many machine learning algorithms require real-valued feature vectors of data instances as inputs. By projecting data into vector spaces, representation learning techniques have achieved promising performance in many areas such as computer vision and natural language processing. There is also a need to learn representations for discrete relational data, namely networks or graphs. Network Embedding (NE) aims at learning vector representations for each node or vertex in a network to encode the topologic structure. Due to its convincing performance and efficiency, NE has been widely applied in many network applications such as node classification and link prediction.This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the basic concepts, models, and applications of network representation learning (NRL). The book starts with an introduction to the background and rising of network embeddings as a general overview for readers. Then it introduces the development of NE techniques by presenting se

The award-winning author of The Music of the Primes explores the future of creativity and how machine learning will disrupt, enrich, and transform our understanding of what it means to be human.Can a well-programmed machine do anything a human can—only better? Complex algorithms are buying our groceries, picking our partners, and driving our investments. They can navigate more data than a doctor or lawyer and act with greater precision. For many years we’ve taken solace in the notion that they can’t create. But now that algorithms can learn and adapt, does the future of creativity belong to machines too?It is hard to imagine a better guide to the bewildering world of artificial intelligence than Marcus du Sautoy, a celebrated Oxford mathematician whose work on symmetry in the ninth dimension has taken him to the vertiginous edge of mathematical understanding. In The Creativity Code he considers what machine learning means for the future of creativity. Programs like Deep Dream produce d

That Monday afternoon, in high-school gyms across America, kids were battling for the only glory American culture seems to want to dispense to the young these days: sports glory.? But at Dos Pueblos High School in Goleta, California, in a gear-cluttered classroom, a different type of “cool” was brewing.? A physics teacher with a dream – the first public high-school teacher ever to win a MacArthur Genius Award -- had rounded up a band of high-I.Q. students who wanted to put their technical know-how to work.? If you asked these brainiacs what the stakes were that first week of their project, they’d have told you it was all about winning a robotics competition – building the ultimate robot and prevailing in a machine-to-machine contest in front of 25,000 screaming fans at Atlanta’s Georgia Dome.?But for their mentor, Amir Abo-Shaeer, much more hung in the balance. ?The fact was, Amir had in mind a different vision for education, one based not on rote learning -- on absorbing facts and fig
