Nature can be a great source of inspiration for artificial intelligence algorithms because its technology is considerably more advanced than our own. Among its wonders are strong AI, nanotechnology, and advanced robotics. Nature can therefore serve as a guide for real-life problem solving. In this book, you will encounter algorithms influenced by ants, bees, genomes, birds, and cells that provide practical methods for many types of AI situations. Although nature is the muse behind the methods, we are not duplicating its exact processes. The complex behaviors in nature merely provide inspiration in our quest to gain new insights about data.

Artificial Intelligence for Humans is a book series meant to teach AI to those readers who lack an extensive mathematical background. The reader only needs knowledge of basic college algebra and computer programming. Additional topics are thoroughly explained. Every chapter also includes a programming example. Examples are currently provided in Java, C#, and Python. Other languages are planned. No knowledge of biology is needed to read this book.

Debbie L. Hahs-Vaughn ... 662 pages - Publisher: Routledge; (November, 2016) ... Language: English - ISBN-10: 0415842360 - ISBN-13: 978-0415842365.

More comprehensive than other texts, this new book covers the classic and cutting edge multivariate techniques used in today’s research. Ideal for courses on multivariate statistics/analysis/design, advanced statistics or quantitative techniques taught in psychology, education, sociology, and business, the book also appeals to researchers with no training in multivariate methods. Through clear writing and engaging pedagogy and examples using real data, Hahs-Vaughn walks students through the most used methods to learn why and how to apply each technique. A conceptual approach with a higher than usual text-to-formula ratio helps reader’s master key concepts so they can implement and interpret results generated by today’s sophisticated software. Annotated screenshots from SPSS and other packages are integrated throughout. Designed for course flexibility, after the first 4 chapters, instructors can use chapters in any sequence or combination to fit the needs of their students. Each chapter includes a ‘mathematical snapshot’ that highlights the technical components of each procedure, so only the most crucial equations are included.

Highlights include: -Outlines, key concepts, and vignettes related to key concepts preview what’s to come in each chapter. -Examples using real data from education, psychology, and other social sciences illustrate key concepts. -Extensive coverage of assumptions including tables, the effects of their violation, and how to test for each technique. -Conceptual, computational, and interpretative problems mirror the real-world problems students encounter in their studies and careers. -A focus on data screening and power analysis with attention on the special needs of each particular method. -Instructions for using SPSS via screenshots and annotated output along with HLM, Mplus, LISREL, and G*Power where appropriate, to demonstrate how to interpret results. -Templates for writing research questions and APA-style write-ups of results which serve as models. -Propensity score analysis chapter that demonstrates the use of this increasingly popular technique. -A review of matrix algebra for those who want an introduction (prerequisites include an introduction to factorial ANOVA, ANCOVA, and simple linear regression, but knowledge of matrix algebra is not assumed).

Anand J. Kulkarni, Suresh Chandra Satapathy ... 197 pages - Publisher: Springer; (November, 2019) ... Language: English - AmazonSIN: B0825P5H9C.

This book discusses one of the major applications of artificial intelligence: the use of machine learning to extract useful information from multimodal data. It discusses the optimization methods that help minimize the error in developing patterns and classifications, which further helps improve prediction and decision-making. The book also presents formulations of real-world machine learning problems, and discusses AI solution methodologies as standalone or hybrid approaches. Lastly, it proposes novel metaheuristic methods to solve complex machine learning problems. Featuring valuable insights, the book helps readers explore new avenues leading toward multidisciplinary research discussions.

This special issue collects selected contributions (excluding general lectures) of a Symposium on "Micro to MACRO Mathematical Modelling in Soil Mechanics", which took place at the University of Reggio Calabria, Italy, from May 29th to June 1st, 2018. The Symposium provided an opportunity to enhance the scientific debate on the construction of mathematical models for the description of the physical behaviour of soils, as well as on the suggestions provided by the micro-mechanical observation of the matter. The focus was on the comparison between the appropriateness of models and the need of mathematics to obtain rigorous results, which involves know-how from applied mathematical physics, geotechnical engineering and mechanics of solids.

The comprehensive guide to performing work at height more safely and at less cost: In the present economy, employers around the globe are working harder than ever to maximize safety in work at height with a careful eye toward fiscal responsibility.   In the drive to do more with less (workers, money, time, resources, etc.) rope access offers the opportunity to raise the bar in both safety and cost-efficiency.  This specialized mode of access and protection is a solution that site owners and managers frequently turn to for putting specially trained, certified technicians in hard-to-reach places with maximum safety and minimal cost. Professional Rope Access: A Guide to Working Safely at Height is a comprehensive guide that employers, safety managers, trainers, and technicians can use to develop and maintain a rope access program that will get more work accomplished at a lower cost and with greater safety than conventional methods can achieve.

Professional Rope Access features topics on: Planning For Rope Access such as personnel selection and training and Equipment for Rigging + Skills For The Rope Access Technician including Rigging Concepts, Advanced Techniques, Powered Devices, and Rescue + Program Administration from Writing a Work Order through Equipment Inspection & Care.

Statics is one of the most important and fundamental courses in engineering mechanics. The objective of this book is to impart knowledge of fundamental concepts and to gain skill of identifying, formulating and solving engineering problems and also to apply concepts of statics in solving real life problems. The book starts with an introduction to mechanics and goes on to cover concepts of statics like system of forces, equilibrium, analysis of structures, centroid, moment of inertial, friction and stress strain. The topics are covered in an easy to understand manner. Since problem solving is critical in engineering mechanics, the solutions to the problems are given in a systematic and step-wise manner.
