Individuals may be discussed on a blog, victimized by an inaccurate credit report, or have their… Meer
Computers are already approving financial transactions, controlling electrical supplies, and driving trains. Soon, service robots will be taking care of the elderly in their homes, and military robots will have their own targeting and firing protocols… Meer
Although much of the hubris and hyperbole surrounding the 1990's Internet has softened to a reasonable level, the inexorable momentum of information growth continues unabated. This wealth of information provides resources for adapting to the problems posed by our increasingly complex world, but the… Meer
Electronic music instruments known as synthesizers have been around since the 1950s, but the past few decades have seen their capabilities expand exponentially and their forms shape-shift from room-filling grandeur to sophisticated applications that run on pocket-sized phones and MP3 players… Meer
Materiality looms large in the world of archives in storage, conservation, and shape or materials of the records. How does this materiality change in the digital age? The way digital techniques and materialities transform our engagement with archives is highlighted and explored throughout Archival… Meer

How does cognition influence an animal's behaviour? What are its neural underpinnings? How is the inner life of a human being constituted? What are the neural underpinnings of the conscious condition?… Meer
This graduate text shows how the computer can be used as a tool for research in number theory through numerical experimentation. Examples of experiments in binary quadratic forms, zeta functions of varieties over finite fields, elementary class field theory, elliptic units, modular forms, are… Meer
This textbook offers an introduction to deep learning for solving inverse problems. It introduces deep neural networks and deep neural network based signal and image reconstruction techniques. It discusses robustness aspects, how to evaluate and test different methods, and data-centric aspects. Meer
Objective Bayesianism is a methodological theory that is currently applied in statistics, philosophy, artificial intelligence, physics and other sciences. This book develops the formal and philosophical foundations of the theory, at a level accessible to a graduate student with some familiarity with… Meer
Een AI-book is niet een boek dat geschreven is door AI maar een boek dat verrijkt is met AI. Het maakt de inhoud van een boek interactief via WhatsApp, zodat je ermee kunt chatten. Zie het als een razend slimme assistent die het boek perfect begrijpt en er alles uit onthouden heeft. Jij kunt deze assistent alles vragen. Vraag bijvoorbeeld hoe je iets kunt toepassen op jouw persoonlijke situatie, om een korte samenvatting, of wat de belangrijkste inzichten zijn. AI-books zijn alleen te gebruiken via WhatsApp, je hoeft er geen aparte app voor te installeren.
