A proposal that we think about digital technologies such as machine learning not in terms of artificial intelligence but as artificial communication.Algorithms that work with deep learning and big data are getting so much better at doing so many things that it makes us uncomfortable. How can a device know what our favorite songs are, or what we should write in an email? Have machines become too smart? In Artificial Communication, Elena Esposito argues that drawing this sort of analogy between algorithms and human intelligence is misleading. If machines contribute to social intelligence, it will not be because they have learned how to think like us but because we have learned how to communicate with them. Esposito proposes that we think of “smart” machines not in terms of artificial intelligence but in terms of artificial communication.To do this, we need a concept of communication that can take into account the possibility that a communication partner may be not a human being but an al

在克里斯．安德森（Chris Anderson）所著「自造者時代：啟動人人製造的第三次工業革命」提到，過去幾年，世界來到了一個重要里程碑：實體製造的過程愈來愈像軟體設計，開放原始碼創造了軟體大量散布與廣泛使用，如今，實體物品上也逐漸發生同樣的效應。網路社群中的程式設計師從Linux作業系統出發，架設了今日世界上絕大部分的網站（Apache WebServer），到使用端廣受歡迎的FireFox瀏覽器等，都是開放原始碼軟體的最佳案例。 現在自造者社群（Maker Space）也正藉由開放原始碼硬體，製造出電子產品、科學儀器、建築物，甚至是3C產品。其中如Arduino開發板，銷售量已遠超過當初設計者的預估。連網路巨擘Google Inc.也加入這場開放原始碼運動，推出開放原始碼電子零件，讓大家發明出來的硬體成品，也能與Android軟體連結、開發與應用。 目前全球各地目前有成千上萬個「自造空間」（makerspace）─光是上海就有上百個正在籌備中，多自造空間都是由在地社群所創辦。如聖馬特奧市（SanMateo）的自造者博覽會（Maker Faire），每年吸引數10萬名自造者前來朝聖，彼此觀摩學習。但不光是美國，全球各地還有許多自造者博覽會，台灣一年一度也於當地舉辦Maker Fair Taiwan，數十萬的自造者（Maker）參予了每年一度的盛會。 本系列「Maker系列」由此概念而生。面對越來越多的知識學子，也希望成為自造者（Make），追求創意與最新的技術潮流，筆著因應世界潮流與趨勢，思考著「如何透過逆向工程的技術與手法，將現有產品開發技術轉換為我的知識」的思維，如果我們可以駭入產品結構與設計思維，那麼了解產品的機構運作原理與方法就不是一件難事了。更進一步我們可以將原有產品改造、升級、創新，並可以將學習到的技術運用其他技術或新技術領域，透過這樣學習思維與方法，可以更快速的掌握研發與製造的核心技術，相信這樣的學習方式，會比起在已建構好的開發模組或學習套件中學習某個新技術或原理，來的更踏實的多。 本系列的書籍，因應自造者運動的世界潮流，希望讀者當一位自造者，將現有產品的產品透過逆向工程的手法，進而了解核心控制系統之軟硬體，再透過簡單易學的Arduino單晶片與C語言，重新開發出原有產品，進而改進、加強、創新其原有產品的架構。如此一來，因為學子們進行「重新開

Accelerate your toddler's education in first words and colors using this engaging book designed by a professional artist and licensed speech pathologist.

This book is more dynamic than other basic first words or color books because its pictures and words were strategically chosen to start with early developing phonemes (b, p, m, d, t) and to teach your child words they can easily say or approximate at a very young age (9 months to 2 years old) like puppy vs. elephant. Wishy Washy also provides tips for parents to help them encourage verbal approximations (acceptable substitutes).

鑑於印度大學目前使用的華語教材相當老舊，且與印度的國情與文化有極大差距，故印度臺灣華語教育中心決議為印度學習者編寫一套國別化華語教材。本書以幽默有趣的故事、文化對比的角度介紹臺灣和印度的文化特色。主要學習對象為在印度大學學習華語第二年、華語程度A2 - B1的印度學生，以文化比較與語言學習為主軸，設計在地化的教材。每一課分為七部分：課程目標及課文屬性、課文對話、短文、生詞、語法、跨文化延伸和語言任務。希望此書在印度華語教材和臺印文化交流上扮演領頭羊角色，期盼拋磚引玉，能專門為在印度學習華語的學習者編寫更多元、更適性的華語教材。Given that the Mandarin textbooks currently used by Indian universities are pretty outdated, bearing a large gap with the Indian culture and condition of the nation, TEC has been proactive in advancing pedagogies and teaching materials. Incredible Mandarin is targeted at students learning Mandarin Chinese for the second year at Indian universities or those with Chinese skills between CEFR A2 and B1 levels. This book is designed with localized content aiming at cultural comparison and language learning for communication. The ten lessons are threaded by an interesting story, introducing cultural highlights of Taiwan and India through cross-culture comparison. Each lesson is divided into seven parts: Lesson Objectives and Topic
