Combinatorial Machine Learning

In recent years the development of new classification and regression algorithms based on deep learning has led to a revolution in the fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analysis. The development of a theoretical foundation to guarantee the success of these algorithms constitutes one of the most active and exciting research topics in applied mathematics. This book presents the current mathematical understanding of deep learning methods from the point of view of the leading experts in the field. It serves as both a starting point for researchers and graduate students in mathematics trying to get into the field, as well as an invaluable reference for future research.

資料科學、機器學習是近來最夯的關鍵字，引發的學習熱潮從未間斷，如果您正尋找資料科學、AI 的入門書，本書就是您的 Mr. Right！【獨家資料科學 5 步驟，記牢、做熟這 5 步就夠了！】只要上網 google "資料料學" 一定會發現，出現的關鍵字實在超級廣，包括 AI、機器學習、程式設計、資料視覺化、數學、統計...等等，這麼雜到底怎麼開始？總不可能通通碰過一輪？！初學者看這本最適合！本書大聲告訴您：「資料科學沒那麼複雜！」，只要跟著書中精心設計的「資料科學 5 步驟」，記牢、做熟這 5 步就夠了！問個感興趣的問題 → 資料取得 → 資料處理 → 探索性資料分析 → 機器學習做資料分析【用 Excel 輕鬆實作機器學習，跟複雜的程式說掰掰！】機器學習 (Machine Learning) 是資料科學實作非常重要的一環，很多書都告訴您必須碰程式，這也讓非 IT 背景的初學者相當苦手，本書正是程式苦手者的超級救星！Excel 是多數人都很熟悉的工具，這本書能讓各種不同學習背景和工作性質的讀者受惠，再也不限 IT 背景才能學。再者，用程式來實作機器學習雖然「省事」，卻也「省略很多事」，若沒有自己細心研究，可能連資料集長什麼樣子都模模糊糊；而在訓練機器學習模型時也是一樣，程式往往把模型封裝成內部在做什麼都神神祕祕的黑盒子，三兩下就告訴您「模型訓練好了！」，到頭來只能虛虛地感覺自己「好像」學會了。反觀 Excel 除了易學，還多了能細細觀察模型內部運作細節的優點！首先，數據資料都清清楚楚攤在儲存格上，再也不是看不到摸不到！而本書所介紹的【線性迴歸】、【KNN】、【K-Means】、【深度學習】等機器學習演算法，只需用到簡單幾個的 Excel 函數就可以輕鬆操作，讀者可以觀察公式清楚看出模型各階段的數據是怎麼算出來的；最後，書中各模型的工作表佈局和配色也都經過精心安排，希望透過種種設計讓讀者更容易掌握模型細部的運作細節！本書特色: □ 用最熟悉的 Excel 馬上可以動手做！□ 精心設計豐富插圖，每一頁都有感！ □ 零數學公式、統計符號，輕鬆學會資料科學、機器學習！□ 機器學習實戰演練：線性迴歸分析、KNN 分類、K-Means 分群、深度學習分類□ 範例滿載！一次不熟換個範例多 run 幾次保證讓您會！

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
