To understand machine learning, you need to understand what it means and how it affects you. Machine learning is a method the utilizes data analysis to provide an automatic system of analysis for model building that involves analytics. This is a specific branch of artificial intelligence based solely on ideas that say that through a system, you can begin to learn the data that is needed for pattern identification and decision-making that will include minimal amounts of human interaction and intervention.

Written by an airline pilot and a clinical psychologist, this combination of practical explanation and self-help techniques is the definitive guide to help nervous passengers overcome their fear of flying. Lighthearted, unpatronising and informative.

Todos los meses hay un ciclo en el cielo. Aprende sobre los patrones de la luna y cómo cambia durante cada mes.

It was early February 1912, and Franz Reichelt, a Paris tailor, and Rodman Law, a self-described “professional jackass” from New York, were poised, respectively, on the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty, ready to deploy an experimental parachute. In bat wings and bundled linen, they were almost certain their contraptions would work. Here is the tale of their inspirations and their pluck - and what happened next.

Here is the fascinating story of the making of the high-tech business revolution and the birth of the Digital Age. Journalist Jeffrey Young chronicles six decades of unbridled technological innovation, taking you inside today's business empires and introducing you to the dreamers, the schemers, the entrepreneurs, and the inventors who built them...

Bitcoin is a digital currency and also a digital payment system. It is widely used all over the world as a cryptocurrency and is accepted as a means of exchange, in trade, investment, and savings. Bitcoin was invented by someone by the alias Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009. His real name is not known. Some suspect it was created by a group of programmers by the same pseudo-name. However, this currency has gained worldwide acceptance and is very popular due to its many benefits.

Un entretien entre Pierre Gilles de Gennes et Sydney Leach dans lequel les deux physiciens revisitent le parcours du prix Nobel de physique 1991 de la matière molle aux "objets de mémoire" en passant par les cristaux liquides.

Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, prix Nobel de physique 1997, retrace son itinéraire personnel et scientifique et un demi-siècle d'évolution de la physique quantique. Sur ce sujet nul n'est mieux placé que lui, qui en a extrait les applications les plus caractéristiques et les plus étonnantes à la fois: la domestication –; et en particulier le refroidissement –; des atomes à l'aide de la lumière. La genèse de ces résultats révolutionnaires –; dont les applications commencent seulement à poindre aujourd'hui –; constitue un témoignage unique sur le développement de la physique et des techniques du XXè siècle.

As a young boy Frank Kovac Jr. fell deeply in love with stargazing, painting glow-in-the-dark constellations on his bedroom wall and inviting friends to an observatory he built in his Chicago backyard. As he reached adulthood, Kovac did not let go of his childhood dreams of reaching the stars. He began scheming to bring the universe home. While working at a paper mill as a young man, Kovac tirelessly built a 22-foot rotating globe planetarium in the woods.

This course provides a detailed executive-level review of contemporary topics in graph modeling theory with specific focus on Deep Learning theoretical concepts and practical applications. The ideal student is a technology professional with a basic working knowledge of statistical methods. Upon completion of this review, the student should acquire improved ability to discriminate, differentiate, and conceptualize appropriate implementations of application-specific ("traditional" or "rule-based") methods versus deep learning methods of statistical analyses and data modeling.

This audiobook includes biographies on the following men: Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison. Nikola Tesla pursued his ideas for wireless lighting and worldwide wireless electric power distribution in his high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments... There are a lot more to the story than just the light bulb, and there is a lot more to the invention of the light bulb than just Thomas Edison. One thing is for sure that he is still remembered as one of the greatest inventors of all time, and perhaps the greatest that America has ever produced.

Are you excited about technology and its possibilities? Or does the techno revolution leave you somewhat worried about the future? This short audiobook is packed with light-hearted but realistic facts about technological developments and the likely trends we’ll see emerge. It looks at the benefits of things such as artificial intelligence and cloud computing, while also talking about the flip side when things go wrong. The audiobook also explores the ethical dilemmas and obligations that technology brings and outlines a possible framework to live by. Which side do you favour?

Der Wiener Physiker Erwin Schrödinger (1887-1961) leistete bahnbrechende Arbeiten zur Wellenmechanik und Quantentheorie, für die er unter anderem mit dem Nobelpreis ausgezeichnet wurde. Untrennbar mit seinem Namen verbunden sind die von ihm entdeckte "Schrödinger-Gleichung" sowie sein berühmtes Gedankenexperiment "Schrödinger's Katze".
