Process-based therapy (PBT) is an approach to psychological assessment and treatment centered on processes of change in particular people in their unique context. A flexible framework, the PBT model allows for any practitioner of evidence-based therapy like CBT or ACT to use PBT to conceptualize clients and inform treatment planning and decisions, while retaining their own orientation's language and techniques. A Process-Based Approach to Psychotherapy: Principles for Practice provides a practical foundation for clinicians, including graduate students, who are interested in learning how to deliver PBT. The book teaches readers how to, within a process-based model, develop a functional case conceptualization, assess client progress throughout treatment, and plan and adjust treatment in response to how a client is doing. Avoiding in-depth discussion of theoretical concepts, the authors instead provide practical principles and actionable steps for doing PBT, including case examples and ex

Implement real-time data processing applications on the Raspberry Pi. This book uniquely helps you work with data science concepts as part of real-time applications using the Raspberry Pi as a localized cloud. You'll start with a brief introduction to data science followed by a dedicated look at the fundamental concepts of Python programming. Here you'll install the software needed for Python programming on the Pi, and then review the various data types and modules available. The next steps are to set up your Pis for gathering real-time data and incorporate the basic operations of data science related to real-time applications. You'll then combine all these new skills to work with machine learning concepts that will enable your Raspberry Pi to learn from the data it gathers. Case studies round out the book to give you an idea of the range of domains where these concepts can be applied. By the end of Data Science with the Raspberry Pi, you'll understand that many applications are now de

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
