Machine Learning Applications In Software Engineering

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

Welcome to Alkhalend, Jewel of the Waters, capital of Usmai, greatest of the Successor States, inheritor to the necromantic dominion that was the Moeribandi Empire and tomorrow's frontline in the Palleseen's relentless march to bring Perfection and Correctness to an imperfect world.Loret is fresh off the boat, and just in time.As Cohort-Invigilator of Correct Appreciation, Outreach department, she's here as aide to the Palleseen Resident, Sage-Invigilator Angilly. And Sage-Invigilator Angilly – Gil to her friends – needs a second in the spectacularly illegal, culturally offensive and diplomatically inadvisable duel she must fight at midnight.Outreach, that part of the Pal machine that has to work within the imperfection of the rest of the world, has a lot of room for the illegal, the unconventional, the unorthodox. But just how much unorthodoxy can Gil and Loret get away with?As a succession crisis looms, as a long-forgotten feat of necromantic engineering nears fruition, as pirate kin

Have you ever wondered how AI came to be? How did ChatGPT develop? Who is “Siri”? Find out everything you need to know about the rise of AI and advancing technology, including future applications and concerns, in this informative book that features 16 pages of photos.It all began in 1822 when an English mathematician created the “Difference Engine,” the world’s first mechanical calculating machine. Fast-forward two hundred years, and cars are beginning to drive themselves! How did this technology advance? Over a series of trials and errors, steps forward and back, AI, or artificial intelligence, has most steadily developed since the 1950s. By the '90s, AI technology began interacting with people in laboratories and at conferences, dazzling the world with its impressive knowledge and capabilities. The simulation of human intelligence by machines continues to revolutionize healthcare, transportation, and efficiency across the world. Learn all about this problem-solving facet of the compu

Confessions of an AI Brain, Second Edition invites readers to not only to understand how AI works, but to imagine, question, and actively shape the kind of AI-enabled future they want to build. By framing AI as a narrator, the book ventures inside the mind of MIRANDA, a fictional yet technically grounded AI brain that narrates its own coming-of-age in a world saturated with algorithms, data, and digital infrastructure. Blending clear explanations with an engaging first-person voice, the book demystifies how modern AI systems are built, trained, deployed, and governed--without assuming any mathematical or programming background. Along the way, MIRANDA reflects on topics such as learning from data, bias and fairness, neurosymbolic reasoning, agentic AI, foundation models, digital twins, and the infrastructure that makes intelligent services possible.Rather than treating AI as a black box or distant threat, the narrative frames it as a partner in a shared human-machine ecosystem, explorin

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a . . . pancake? Our favorite syrupy superhero returns in a new graphic novel to face Breakfast Town’s new supervillain and take down her terrible mind control machine . . . before it takes over the entire town!When we last saw our hero, Peggy Pancake, she was learning to be more responsible by babysitting five mini muffins and rescuing Breakfast Town from a Mini Mega Laser of Doom disaster. Now, stranger things are happening . . . and Peggy is so busy trying to prevent Breakfast Town from becoming complete toast, she keeps missing important plans with her brother, Patrick! To try and mend their relationship, Peggy and Patrick’s parents sign them up to perform together at the school talent show. Little do they know the Bacon Bullies will be in the audience, and Peggy’s singing voice has been, well, more scrambled than it used to be.As Peggy and her friends investigate the mysterious events around town, they find a familiar enemy working from a lair under

The Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Trust turns to the future with a novel that examines the place of technology in the American imaginationCenturies from now, at the dawn of a historical epoch filled with both uncertainty and promise, an orphan is adrift in a city on the brink of a great transformation. The state has been dismantled, and humans are reinventing social bonds and learning new ways to coexist with nature. Following a childhood defined by loss, survival, and found family, the orphan grows up to become a “pincher,” someone who steals electricity from the grid to sell it on the black market. It’s a high-risk life, one that brings her into a rich downtown art and music scene where she powers underground concerts. It also leads her to a colossal scientific invention that could be either a contraption devised by a deranged mind or a machine that will change the very fabric of reality.After rewriting America’s past with his two previous novels, Hernan Diaz now gives us a glimps

Based on courses given at Eötvös Loránd University (Hungary) over the past 30 years, this introductory textbook develops the central concepts of the analysis of functions of one variable — systematically, with many examples and illustrations, and in a manner that builds upon, and sharpens, the student's mathematical intuition. The book provides a solid grounding in the basics of logic and proofs, sets, and real numbers, in preparation for a study of the main topics: limits, continuity, rational functions and transcendental functions, differentiation, and integration. Numerous applications to other areas of mathematics, and to physics, are given, thereby demonstrating the practical scope and power of the theoretical concepts treated.In the spirit of learning-by-doing, Real Analysis includes more than 500 engaging exercises for the student keen on mastering the basics of analysis. The wealth of material, and modular organization, of the book make it adaptable as a textbook for courses of

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
