Description
Can you tell the difference between talking to a human and talking to a machine?
Or, is it possible to create a machine which is able to converse like a human? In
fact, what is it that even makes us human? Turing's Imitation Game, commonly known
as the Turing Test, is fundamental to the science of artificial intelligence.
Involving an interrogator conversing with hidden identities, both human and
machine, the test strikes at the heart of any questions about the capacity of
machines to behave as humans. While this subject area has shifted dramatically in
the last few years, this book offers an up-to-date assessment of Turing's Imitation
Game, its history, context and implications, all illustrated with practical Turing
tests. The contemporary relevance of this topic and the strong emphasis on example
transcripts makes this book an ideal companion for undergraduate courses in
artificial intelligence, engineering or computer science.
Understand the purpose of using delegates, and see how powerful they can be,
through examples.
Delegates are very useful in C#, but the concept behind delegates might be hard to
fully understand, therefore can be confusing for a lot of C# developers.
I will be your guide through your delegate learning path, and make it simple for
you to understand through my logically built examples.
If you like my course, please feel free to leave a comment, and tell me what you
would like to learn next!
67 <--> Supervised Sequence Labelling with Recurrent Neural Networks (repost)
However their role in large-scale sequence labelling systems has so far been
auxiliary. The goal of this book is a complete framework for classifying and
transcribing sequential data with recurrent neural networks only. Three main
innovations are introduced in order to realise this goal. Firstly, the
connectionist temporal classification output layer allows the framework to be
trained with unsegmented target sequences, such as phoneme-level speech
transcriptions; this is in contrast to previous connectionist approaches, which
were dependent on error-prone prior segmentation.

Book description
This new color edition of Braun and Murdoch's bestselling textbook integrates use
of the RStudio platform and adds discussion of newer graphics systems, extensive
exploration of Markov chain Monte Carlo, expert advice on common error messages,
motivating applications of matrix decompositions, and numerous new examples and
exercises. This is the only introduction needed to start programming in R, the
computing standard for analyzing data. Co-written by an R core team member and an
established R author, this book comes with real R code that complies with the
standards of the language. Unlike other introductory books on the R system, this
book emphasizes programming, including the principles that apply to most computing
languages, and techniques used to develop more complex projects. Solutions,
datasets, and any errata are available from the book's website. The many examples,
all from real applications, make it particularly useful for anyone working in
practical data analysis.
Reviews
‘For what has come to be called data analytics, R is a remarkable tour de force.
Strong skills with R programming are needed to allow really effective use.
Mastering the content of this carefully staged text is an excellent starting point
for gaining those skills.’
John Maindonald - Australian National University, Canberra
‘This book should be especially useful for those without any prior programming
background. The core programming material, such as loops and functions, is
postponed to Chapter 4, allowing the student to first become comfortable with R in
a broader manner. The placement of Chapter 3, on graphical methods, is particularly
helpful in this regard, and is very motivating. The book is written by two
recognized experts in the R language, so the reader attains the benefit of being
taught by the ‘insiders’.’

240 <--> Understanding Control Flow: Concurrent Programming Using μC++ (repost)
The control-flow issues presented in this textbook are extremely relevant in modern
computer languages and programming styles. In addition to the basic control-flow
mechanisms, virtually all new computer languages provide some form of exceptional
control flow to support robust programming introduced in this textbook. Also,
concurrency capabilities are appearing with increasing frequency in both new and
old programming languages, and are covered in this book.
Understanding Control Flow: With Concurrent Programming Using μC++ starts with
looping, and works through each of the basic control-flow concepts, examining why
each is fundamental and where it is useful. Time is spent on each concept according
to its level of difficulty. Examples and exercises are also provided in this
textbook.
New programming methodologies are requiring new forms of control flow, and new
programming languages are supporting these methodologies with new control
structures, such as the concurrency constructs discussed in this textbook. Most
computers now contain multi-threading and multi-cores, while multiple processors
and distributed systems are ubiquitous ― all of which require advanced programming
methodologies to take full advantage of the available parallelism summarized in
this textbook. Advance forms of control flow are becoming basic programming skills
needed by all programmers, not just graduate students working in the operating
systems or database disciplines.
This textbook is designed for advanced-level students studying computer science and
engineering. Professionals and researchers working in this field, specifically
programming and software engineering, will find this book useful as a reference.

List of Books
252 <--> Computational Physics: Problem Solving with Python, 3 edition (repost)
The use of computation and simulation has become an essential part of the
scientific process. Being able to transform a theory into an algorithm requires
significant theoretical insight, detailed physical and mathematical understanding,
and a working level of competency in programming.
This upper-division text provides an unusually broad survey of the topics of modern
computational physics from a multidisciplinary, computational science point of
view. Its philosophy is rooted in learning by doing (assisted by many model
programs), with new scientific materials as well as with the Python programming
language. Python has become very popular, particularly for physics education and
large scientific projects. It is probably the easiest programming language to learn
for beginners, yet is also used for mainstream scientific computing, and has
packages for excellent graphics and even symbolic manipulations.
This book discusses innovative methods for mining information from images of
plants, especially leaves, and highlights the diagnostic features that can be
implemented in fully automatic systems for identifying plant species. Adopting a
multidisciplinary approach, it explores the problem of plant species
identification, covering both the concepts of taxonomy and morphology. It then
provides an overview of morphometrics, including the historical background and the
main steps in the morphometric analysis of leaves together with a number of
applications. The core of the book focuses on novel diagnostic methods for plant
species identification developed from a computer scientist’s perspective. It then
concludes with a chapter on the characterization of botanists' visions, which
highlights important cognitive aspects that can be implemented in a computer system
to more accurately replicate the human expert’s fixation process. The book not only
represents an authoritative guide to advanced computational tools for plant
identification, but provides experts in botany, computer science and pattern
recognition with new ideas and challenges. As such it is expected to foster both
closer collaborations and further technological developments in the emerging field
of automatic plant identification.

Graphical Simulation of Deformable Models by Jianping Cai, Feng Lin, Hock Soon Seah
2016 | ISBN: 3319510304 | English | 107 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This book covers dynamic simulation of deformable objects, which is one of the most
challenging tasks in computer graphics and visualization. It focuses on the
simulation of deformable models with anisotropic materials, one of the less common
approaches in the existing research. Both physically-based and geometrically-based
approaches are examined.
The authors start with transversely isotropic materials for the simulation of
deformable objects with fibrous structures. Next, they introduce a fiber-field
incorporated corotational finite element model (CLFEM) that works directly with a
constitutive model of transversely isotropic material. A smooth fiber-field is used
to establish the local frames for each element.
The book is written for those researchers who would like to develop their own
algorithms. The key mathematical and computational concepts are presented together
with illustrations and working examples. It can also be used as a reference book
for graduate students and senior undergraduates in the areas of computer graphics,
computer animation, and virtual reality. Academics, researchers, and professionals
will find this to be an exceptional resource.

What exactly is data science? With this book, you’ll gain a clear understanding of
this discipline for discovering natural laws in the structure of data. Along the
way, you’ll learn how to use the versatile R programming language for data
analysis.
Whenever you measure the same thing twice, you get two results—as long as you
measure precisely enough. This phenomenon creates uncertainty and opportunity.
Author Garrett Grolemund, Master Instructor at RStudio, shows you how data science
can help you work with the uncertainty and capture the opportunities. You’ll learn
about:
This short book on Python descriptors is a collection of knowledge and ideas from
many sources on dealing with and creating descriptors. And, after going through the
things all descriptors have in common, the author explores ideas that have multiple
ways of being implemented as well as completely new ideas never seen elsewhere
before.
There aren't many good resources out there for writing Python descriptors, and
extremely few books. This is a sad state of affairs, as it makes it difficult for
Python developers to get a really good understanding of how descriptors work and
the techniques to avoid the big gotchas associated with working with them.
Domains-The book then examines specific methods used for data domains such as
multimedia, text, time-series, network, discrete sequence, and uncertain data. It
also covers large data sets and data streams due to the recent importance of the
big data paradigm.
In this book, top researchers from around the world explore the characteristics of
clustering problems in a variety of application areas. They also explain how to
glean detailed insight from the clustering process—including how to verify the
quality of the underlying clusters—through supervision, human intervention, or the
automated generation of alternative clusters.

Take this course to learn how to code a fully functional keylogger in C++ for use
in Windows!
If you want to learn to code at an advanced level in C++ or build your own fully
functional advanced keylogger from scratch for learning ethical hacking, I think
you might love this course! In this course you will see exactly how to create an
advanced keylogger starting from nothing by literally following the steps I take as
I make it!
This keylogger is capable of recording all the keyboard and mouse input! It can
even record independent of the language settings because it logs the physical keys
on the keyboard first. Next, by using an arbitrary keymap with human friendly
names, it translates the machine keys to something that we can understand. It also
possesses mail sending capabilities so you can just schedule the logfile to be sent
via mail, lets say every 12 hours. In addition to this, it will also keep the
logfile encrypted. Therefore, we will create another program which will be able to
decrypt the logfile on your end.
Thank you very much for reading this and I hope to see you in the course soon! If
you have any suggestions in regard to the functionalities of the keylogger, feel
free to send me a message or post your requests here.

pip install-able library, descriptor_tools, was written alongside this book and is
an open source library on GitHub.
What you'll learn:
What is a descriptor protocol
What is attribute access and how they apply to descriptors
How to make descriptors and why
Which Methods are needed
How to store attributes
How to do Read-Only Descriptors and Writing _delete()
How to explore the descriptor classes
How to apply the other uses of descriptors and more

application that makes predictions from data. Then you will learn about the
classification and regression techniques such as logistic regression, k-NN
classifier, and SVM, and implement them in real-world scenarios such as predicting
house prices and the number of TV show viewers.
By the end of this course, you will be able to apply the concepts of classification
and regression using Python and implement them in a real-world setting.
This brief focuses on two main problems in the domain of optical flow and
trajectory estimation: (i) The problem of finding convex optimization methods to
apply sparsity to optical flow; and (ii) The problem of how to extend sparsity to
improve trajectories in a computationally tractable way.
This guide for practicing statisticians, data scientists, and R users and
programmers will teach the essentials of preprocessing: data leveraging the R
programming language to easily and quickly turn noisy data into usable pieces of
information. Data wrangling, which is also commonly referred to as data munging,
transformation, manipulation, janitor work, etc., can be a painstakingly laborious
process. Roughly 80% of data analysis is spent on cleaning and preparing data;
however, being a prerequisite to the rest of the data analysis workflow
(visualization, analysis, reporting), it is essential that one become fluent and
efficient in data wrangling techniques.
This book will guide the user through the data wrangling process via a step-by-step
tutorial approach and provide a solid foundation for working with data in R. The
author's goal is to teach the user how to easily wrangle data in order to spend
more time on understanding the content of the data. By the end of the book, the
user will have learned:
How to work with different types of data such as numerics, characters, regular
expressions, factors, and dates
The difference between different data structures and how to create, add additional
components to, and subset each data structure
How to acquire and parse data from locations previously inaccessible
How to develop functions and use loop control structures to reduce code redundancy
How to use pipe operators to simplify code and make it more readable
How to reshape the layout of data and manipulate, summarize, and join data sets
This book presents computer programming as a key method for solving mathematical
problems. There are two versions of the book, one for MATLAB and one for Python.
The book was inspired by the Springer book TCSE 6: A Primer on Scientific
Programming with Python (by Langtangen), but the style is more accessible and
concise, in keeping with the needs of engineering students.
The book outlines the shortest possible path from no previous experience with
programming to a set of skills that allows the students to write simple programs
for solving common mathematical problems with numerical methods in engineering and
science courses. The emphasis is on generic algorithms, clean design of programs,
use of functions, and automatic tests for verification.

"Written by three experts in the field, Deep Learning is the only comprehensive
book on the subject." – Elon Musk, co-chair of OpenAI; co-founder and CEO of Tesla
and SpaceX
Deep learning is a form of machine learning that enables computers to learn from
experience and understand the world in terms of a hierarchy of concepts. Because
the computer gathers knowledge from experience, there is no need for a human
computer operator to formally specify all the knowledge that the computer needs.
The hierarchy of concepts allows the computer to learn complicated concepts by
building them out of simpler ones; a graph of these hierarchies would be many
layers deep. This book introduces a broad range of topics in deep learning.
The text offers mathematical and conceptual background, covering relevant concepts
in linear algebra, probability theory and information theory, numerical
computation, and machine learning. It describes deep learning techniques used by
practitioners in industry, including deep feedforward networks, regularization,
optimization algorithms, convolutional networks, sequence modeling, and practical
methodology; and it surveys such applications as natural language processing,
speech recognition, computer vision, online recommendation systems, bioinformatics,
and videogames. Finally, the book offers research perspectives, covering such
theoretical topics as linear factor models, autoencoders, representation learning,
structured probabilistic models, Monte Carlo methods, the partition function,
approximate inference, and deep generative models.
95 <--> Udemy - R Programming for Simulation and Monte Carlo Methods [repost]
R Programming for Simulation and Monte Carlo Methods focuses on using R software to
program probabilistic simulations, often called Monte Carlo Simulations. Typical
simplified "real-world" examples include simulating the probabilities of a baseball
player having a 'streak' of twenty sequential season games with 'hits-at-bat' or
estimating the likely total number of taxicabs in a strange city when one observes
a certain sequence of numbered cabs pass a particular street corner over a 60
minute period. In addition to detailing half a dozen (sometimes amusing) 'real-
world' extended example applications, the course also explains in detail how to use
existing R functions, and how to write your own R functions, to perform simulated
inference estimates, including likelihoods and confidence intervals, and other
cases of stochastic simulation. Techniques to use R to generate different
characteristics of various families of random variables are explained in detail.
The course teaches skills to implement various approaches to simulate continuous
and discrete random variable probability distribution functions, parameter
estimation, Monte-Carlo Integration, and variance reduction techniques. The course
partially utilizes the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) spuRs package to
demonstrate how to structure and write programs to accomplish mathematical and
probabilistic simulations using R statistical software.

unnecessary duplication of code. You will learn how to prepare, process, and
perform sophisticated ETL for heterogeneous data sources with R packages. An
example of data manipulation is provided, illustrating how to use the ‘dplyr’ and
‘data.table’ packages to efficiently process larger data structures. We also focus
on ‘ggplot2’ and show you how to create advanced figures for data exploration.
In addition, you will learn how to build an interactive report using the “ggvis”
package. Later sections offer insight into time series analysis, while there is
detailed information on the hot topic of machine learning, including data
classification, regression, clustering, association rule mining, and dimension
reduction.

Support Vectors Machines have become a well established tool within machine
learning. They work well in practice and have now been used across a wide range of
applications from recognizing hand-written digits, to face identification, text
categorisation, bioinformatics, and database marketing. In this book we give an
introductory overview of this subject. We start with a simple Support Vector
Machine for performing binary classification before considering multi-class
classification and learning in the presence of noise. We show that this framework
can be extended to many other scenarios such as prediction with real-valued
outputs, novelty detection and the handling of complex output structures such as
parse trees. Finally, we give an overview of the main types of kernels which are
used in practice and how to learn and make predictions from multiple types of input
data. Table of Contents: Support Vector Machines for Classification / Kernel-based

This book explains the broad topic of automated trading, starting with its
mathematics and moving to its computation and execution. Readers will gain a unique
insight into the mechanics and computational considerations taken in building a
backtester, strategy optimizer, and fully functional trading platform.
Automated Trading with R provides automated traders with all the tools they need to
trade algorithmically with their existing brokerage, from data management, to
strategy optimization, to order execution, using free and publically available
data. If your brokerage’s API is supported, the source code is plug-and-play.
The platform built in this book can serve as a complete replacement for
commercially available platforms used by retail traders and small funds. Software
components are strictly decoupled and easily scalable, providing opportunity to
substitute any data source, trading algorithm, or brokerage. The book’s three
objectives are:
To provide a flexible alternative to common strategy automation frameworks, like
Tradestation, Metatrader, and CQG, to small funds and retail traders.
To offer an understanding the internal mechanisms of an automated trading system.
To standardize discussion and notation of real-world strategy optimization
problems.
What you’ll learn
Programming an automated strategy in R gives the trader access to R and its package
library for optimizing strategies, generating real-time trading decisions, and
minimizing computation time.
How to best simulate strategy performance in their specific use case to derive
accurate performance estimates.
Important machine-learning criteria for statistical validity in the context of
time-series.
An understanding of critical real-world variables pertaining to portfolio
management and performance assessment, including latency, drawdowns, varying trade

2007 | ISBN: 0387717617 | English | 190 pages | PDF | 5.2 MB
This richly illustrated book describes the use of interactive and dynamic graphics
as part of multidimensional data analysis. Chapters include clustering, supervised
classification, and working with missing values. A variety of plots and interaction
methods are used in each analysis, often starting with brushing linked low-
dimensional views and working up to manual manipulation of tours of several
variables. The role of graphical methods is shown at each step of the analysis, not
only in the early exploratory phase, but in the later stages, too, when comparing
and evaluating models.
All examples are based on freely available software: GGobi for interactive graphics
and R for static graphics, modeling, and programming. The printed book is augmented
by a wealth of material on the web, encouraging readers follow the examples
themselves. The web site has all the data and code necessary to reproduce the
analyses in the book, along with movies demonstrating the examples.
The book may be used as a text in a class on statistical graphics or exploratory
data analysis, for example, or as a guide for the independent learner. Each chapter
ends with a set of exercises.
The authors are both Fellows of the American Statistical Association, past chairs
of the Section on Statistical Graphics, and co-authors of the GGobi software.

There are some programming languages that require seemingly endless lines of code
to make the smallest of programs. There are some languages that are so complex even
experts' heads hurt if they try to use them. And then there's Ruby, which has all
of the performance of these aforementioned languages and none of the complexity.
Productive, powerful, simple and easy to learn, it's the perfect starter language.
Oh, and a huge (and growing) number of companies use it too…

Book Description
Python has evolved over the years and has become the primary choice of developers
in various fields. The purpose of this book is to help readers develop readable,
reliable, and maintainable programs in Python.
Starting with an introduction to the concept of modules and packages, this book
shows how you can use these building blocks to organize a complex program into
logical parts and make sure those parts are working correctly together.
Using clearly written, real-world examples, this book demonstrates how you can use
modular techniques to build better programs. A number of common modular programming
patterns are covered, including divide-and-conquer, abstraction, encapsulation,
wrappers and extensibility. You will also learn how to test your modules and
packages, how to prepare your code for sharing with other people, and how to
publish your modules and packages on GitHub and the Python Package Index so that
other people can use them. Finally, you will learn how to use modular design
techniques to be a more effective programmer.
Python programmers are some of the most sought-after employees in the tech world,
and Python itself is fast becoming one of the most popular programming languages.
One of the best applications of Python however is data analysis; which also happens
to be something that employers can't get enough of. Gaining skills in one or the
other is a guaranteed way to boost your employability – but put the two together
and you'll be unstoppable!
This course contains 51 lectures and 6 hours of content, specially created for
those with an interest in data analysis, programming, or the Python programming
language. Once you have Python installed and are familiar with the language, you'll
be all set to go.
The course begins with covering the fundamentals of Pandas (the library of data
structures you'll be using) before delving into the most important functions you'll
need for data analysis; creating and navigating data frames, indexing, visualising,
and so on. Next, you'll get into the more intricate operations run in conjunction
with Pandas including data manipulation, logical categorising, statistical
functions and applications, and more. Missing data, combining data, working with
databases, and advanced operations like resampling, correlation, mapping and
buffering will also be covered.
By the end of this course, you'll have not only have grasped the fundamental
concepts of data analysis, but through using Python to analyse and manipulate your
data, you'll have gained a highly specific and much in demand skill set that you
can put to a variety of practical used for just about any business in the world.
Tools Used
Pandas: Pandas is a free, open source library that provides high-performance, easy
to use data structures and data analysis tools for Python; specifically, numerical
tables and time series. If your project involves lots of numerical data, Pandas is
for you.
NumPy: Like Pandas, NumPy is another library of high level mathematical functions.
The difference with NumPy however is that was specifically created as an extension
to the Python programming language, intended to support large multi-dimensional
arrays and matrices.
Teaches you exactly how program memory content and organization is vital for
computer security, especially Unix-like operating systems. You will learn how it is
manipulated to take control of a computer system, as well as the countermeasures
that system designers set up to avoid this. Neither a guide for hackers nor an all-
out theory book, this book is ideal for anyone studying computer security who wants
to learn by doing.
Using a practical approach, you will understand how stack frames relate to hardware
and software theory and the various GNU/Linux distributions, before moving on to
Base 2, 8 and 16 notations, executables and libraries. Lastly you will go in-depth
to understand the intricacies of stack frames. A vital resource for all computer
security students and enthusiasts, add Stack Frames: A Look Inside to your library
today.

This compact yet thorough tutorial is the perfect introduction to the basic
concepts of solving partial differential equations (PDEs) using parallel numerical
methods. In just eight short chapters, the authors provide readers with enough
basic knowledge of PDEs, discretization methods, solution techniques, parallel
computers, parallel programming, and the run-time behavior of parallel algorithms
to allow them to understand, develop, and implement parallel PDE solvers. Examples
throughout the book are intentionally kept simple so that the parallelization
strategies are not dominated by technical details. A Tutorial on Elliptic PDE
Solvers and Their Parallelization is a valuable aid for learning about the possible
errors and bottlenecks in parallel computing. One of the highlights of the tutorial
is that the course material can run on a laptop, not just on a parallel computer or
cluster of PCs, thus allowing readers to experience their first successes in
parallel computing in a relatively short amount of time.

This is the first book to describe the recent significant changes to the .NET
compilation process and demonstrate how .NET developers can use the new Compiler
API to create compelling applications. As an open source compiler, the Compiler API
now makes its code available for anyone to use. In this book, you’ll get a concise,
focused view of this tremendous resource for developers, who can now use any part
of the platform implementation to their advantage in analyzing applications,
improving code generation, and providing enforceable patterns, all under an OSS
model. You will learn how to analyze your code for defects in a fast, clean manner
never available before. You’ll work with solutions and projects to provide
automatic refactoring, and you’ll discover how you can generate code dynamically to
provide application implementations at runtime Having the Compiler API available
opens a number of doors for .NET developers that were either simply not there
before, or difficult to achieve. However, the API is vast, and this concise book
provides a valuable roadmap to this new development environment. What You Will
Learn: Understand how to generate, compile, and execute code for a number of
scenarios How to create diagnostics and refactoring to help developers enforce
conventions and design idioms Experiment with the compiler code base and see what
can be done to influence the inner workings of the compilation pipeline Who This
Book Is For: Experienced .NET developers, but detailed compiler knowledge is not
necessary.
This book highlights the ability of neural networks (NNs) to be excellent pattern
matchers and their importance in information retrieval (IR), which is based on
index term matching. The book defines a new NN-based method for learning image
similarity and describes how to use fuzzy Gaussian neural networks to predict
personality.
It introduces the fuzzy Clifford Gaussian network, and two concurrent neural
models: (1) concurrent fuzzy nonlinear perceptron modules, and (2) concurrent fuzzy
Gaussian neural network modules.
Furthermore, it explains the design of a new model of fuzzy nonlinear perceptron
based on alpha level sets and describes a recurrent fuzzy neural network model with
a learning algorithm based on the improved particle swarm optimization method.
This book describes grouping detection and initiation; group initiation algorithm
based on geometry center; data association and track continuity; as well as
separate-detection and situation cognition for group-target. It specifies the
tracking of the target in different quantities and densities. At the same time, it
integrates cognition into the application.
Statistical methods are a key tool for all scientists working with data, but
learning the basic mathematical skills can be one of the most challenging
components of a biologist's training. This accessible book provides a contemporary
introduction to the classical techniques and modern extensions of linear model
analysis: one of the most useful approaches in the analysis of scientific data in
the life and environmental sciences. It emphasizes an estimation-based approach
that accounts for recent criticisms of the over-use of probability values, and
introduces alternative approaches using information criteria. Statistics are
introduced through worked analyses performed in R, the free open source programming
language for statistics and graphics, which is rapidly becoming the standard
software in many areas of science and technology. These analyses use real data sets
from ecology, evolutionary biology and environmental science, and the data sets and
R scripts are available as support material. The book's structure and user friendly
style stem from the author's 20 years of experience teaching statistics to life and
environmental scientists at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The New
Statistics with R is suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students,
professional researchers, and practitioners in the fields of ecology, evolution,
environmental studies, and computational biology.

lots of examples are waiting for you.
I designed this course especially for those who already know the basics and wonder
how to get to the next level. Maybe you’re a BI analyst, IT specialist, QA analyst,
automation tester, DB admin, aspiring data scientist or just passionate to learn
SQL. You’ll learn how to use analytic functions, how to take advantage of table
partitioning, how to write user-defined functions, procedures with cursors and even
how to write beautiful code. All of that with the focus on the most popular open-
source database: MySQL.
In this course we’ll write the code & MySQL queries together. I prepared 2 test
databases, 70+ lectures, 4+ hours of video and lots of examples and practices so
that you can learn advanced SQL techniques by writing the code. You’ll not learn
just by watching me and eating pop-corn. You need to write the queries and I’ll
help you! I believe that’s the only way for you to really adopt this new knowledge.
At the end of this course you will not just know these advanced techniques, but
also know how to use them in practice.
To help you out, I also created a Slack group where you can join and chat with me
or my colleagues if you get stuck.
Anyways, you have nothing to lose. Try this course and if you can honestly say that
you learnt nothing, just email Udemy and they will give you a 100% refund within 30

Express, MongoDB, jQuery, AngularJS, or directly manipulate the DOM, you can test-
drive JavaScript. Learn the craft of writing meaningful, deterministic automated
tests with Karma, Mocha, and Chai. Test asynchronous JavaScript, decouple and
properly mock out dependencies, measure code coverage, and create lightweight
modular designs of both server-side and client-side code. Your investment in
writing tests will pay high dividends as you create code that's predictable and
cost-effective to change.
Design and code JavaScript applications with automated tests. Writing meaningful
tests is a skill that takes learning, some unlearning, and a lot of practice, and
with this book, you'll hone that skill. Fire up the editor and get hands-on through
practical exercises for effective automated testing and designing maintainable,
modular code.
Start by learning when and why to do manual testing vs. automated verification.
Focus tests on the important things, like the pre-conditions, the invariants,
complex logic, and gnarly edge cases. Then begin to design asynchronous functions
using automated tests. Carefully decouple and mock out intricate dependencies such
as the DOM, geolocation API, file and database access, and Ajax calls to remote
servers.
Step by step, test code that uses Node.js, Express, MongoDB, jQuery, and AngularJS.
Know when and how to use tools such as Chai, Istanbul, Karma, Mocha, Protractor,
and Sinon. Create tests with minimum effort and run them fast without having to
spin up web servers or manually edit HTML pages to run in browsers. Then explore
end-to-end testing to ensure all parts are wired and working well together.
A computer with a text editor and your favorite browser. The book provides
instructions to install the necessary automated testing-related tools.
Kent D. Lee, Steve Hubbard, "Data Structures and Algorithms with Python"
ISBN: 3319130714 | 2015 | True EPUB | 363 pages | 12 MB
This textbook explains the concepts and techniques required to write programs that
can handle large amounts of data efficiently. Project-oriented and classroom-
tested, the book presents a number of important algorithms supported by examples
that bring meaning to the problems faced by computer programmers. The idea of
computational complexity is also introduced, demonstrating what can and cannot be
computed efficiently so that the programmer can make informed judgements about the
algorithms they use. Features: includes both introductory and advanced data
structures and algorithms topics, with suggested chapter sequences for those
respective courses provided in the preface; provides learning goals, review
questions and programming exercises in each chapter, as well as numerous
illustrative examples; offers downloadable programs and supplementary files at an
associated website, with instructor materials available from the author; presents a
primer on Python for those from a different language background.
A guide to work with MySQL and it's syntax, CRUD, data types, transactions, sub
selects, views, and store routines. MySQL is by far the most popular database
management system for small- to medium-sized web projects. Only the proprietary
Oracle database and the small embeddable SQLite are more widely deployed. MySQL is
named after the eldest daughter of Ulf Michael Widenius, the main author of the
original version of MySQL whose daughter's name is My.
MySQL routines the Structured Query Language also known as SQL to define, update
and query the database. SQL is used on fundamentally all major relational database
systems, on many platforms and in many applications. I will cover the necessary
skills to use and program a database using MySQL. It is the nature of database
management systems that there is marvellous divergence between how SQL is
implemented in each system. Most of this course is keen on showing you how SQL is
implemented by MySQL and how it can be used effectively in your database
applications.
In this course, I will provide clear, concise tutorials that guide you through
creating and maintaining a MySQL database of your own. We will start with the basic
syntax of SQL as it's implemented by MySQL. I will explain how to use the select
statement, and how to create, update, and delete data from your tables. I'll show
you specifically where the MySQL version of SQL differs from the standard, and how
to get the most out of MySQL specific dialect.

Project
P0: Titanic Survival Exploration
In this optional project, you will create decision functions that attempt to
predict survival outcomes from the 1912 Titanic disaster based on each passenger’s
features, such as sex and age. You will start with a simple algorithm and increase
its complexity until you are able to accurately predict the outcomes for at least
80% of the passengers in the provided data. This project will introduce you to some
of the concepts of machine learning as you start the Nanodegree program.
Project
P1: Predicting Boston Housing Prices
The Boston housing market is highly competitive, and you want to be the best real
estate agent in the area. To compete with your peers, you decide to leverage a few
basic machine learning concepts to assist you and a client with finding the best
selling price for their home. Luckily, you’ve come across the Boston Housing
dataset which contains aggregated data on various features for houses in Greater
Boston communities, including the median value of homes for each of those areas.
Your task is to build an optimal model based on a statistical analysis with the
tools available. This model will then used to estimate the best selling price for
your client’s home.
Project
P2: Build a Student Intervention System
A local school district has a goal to reach a 95% graduation rate by the end of the
decade by identifying students who need intervention before they drop out of
school. As a software engineer contacted by the school district, your task is to
model the factors that predict how likely a student is to pass their high school
final exam, by constructing an intervention system that leverages supervised
learning techniques. The board of supervisors has asked that you find the most
effective model that uses the least amount of computation costs to save on the
budget. You will need to analyze the dataset on students' performance and develop a
model that will predict the likelihood that a given student will pass, quantifying
whether an intervention is necessary.
Project
P3: Creating Customer Segments
A wholesale distributor recently tested a change to their delivery method for some
customers, by moving from a morning delivery service five days a week to a cheaper
evening delivery service three days a week.Initial testing did not discover any
significant unsatisfactory results, so they implemented the cheaper option for all
customers. Almost immediately, the distributor began getting complaints about the
delivery service change and customers were canceling deliveries — losing the
distributor more money than what was being saved. You’ve been hired by the
wholesale distributor to find what types of customers they have to help them make
better, more informed business decisions in the future. Your task is to use
unsupervised learning techniques to see if any similarities exist between
customers, and how to best segment customers into distinct categories.
Project
P4: Train a Smartcab to Drive
In the not-so-distant future, taxicab companies across the United States no longer
employ human drivers to operate their fleet of vehicles. Instead, the taxicabs are
operated by self-driving agents — known as smartcabs — to transport people from one
location to another within the cities those companies operate. In major
metropolitan areas, such as Chicago, New York City, and San Francisco, an
increasing number of people have come to rely on smartcabs to get to where they
need to go as safely and efficiently as possible. Although smartcabs have become
the transport of choice, concerns have arose that a self-driving agent might not be
as safe or efficient as human drivers, particularly when considering city traffic
lights and other vehicles. To alleviate these concerns, your task as an employee
for a national taxicab company is to use reinforcement learning techniques to
construct a demonstration of a smartcab operating in real-time to prove that both
safety and efficiency can be achieved.
Project
P5: Capstone Project
In this capstone project, you will leverage what you’ve learned throughout the
Nanodegree program to solve a problem of your choice by applying machine learning
algorithms and techniques. You will first define the problem you want to solve and
investigate potential solutions and performance metrics. Next, you will analyze the
problem through visualizations and data exploration to have a better understanding
of what algorithms and features are appropriate for solving it.
You will then implement your algorithms and metrics of choice, documenting the
preprocessing, refinement, and postprocessing steps along the way. Afterwards, you
will collect results about the performance of the models used, visualize
significant quantities, and validate/justify these values. Finally, you will
construct conclusions about your results, and discuss whether your implementation
adequately solves the problem.
Project
Resume Review
In this project, you will update your resume according to the conventions that
recruiters expect and get tips on how to best represent yourself to pass the "6
second screen". You will also make sure that your resume is appropriately targeted
for the job you’re applying for. We recommend all students update their resumes to
show off their newly acquired skills regardless of whether you are looking for a
new job soon.
Project
Technical Interview Practice
For this project, you will be given five technical interviewing questions on a
variety of topics discussed in the technical interviewing course. You should write
up a clean and efficient answer in Python, as well as a text explanation of the
efficiency of your code and your design choices. A qualified reviewer will look
over your answer and give you feedback on anything that might be awesome or lacking
—is your solution the most efficient one possible? Are you doing a good job of
explaining your thoughts? Is your code elegant and easy to read?
This program will equip you with key skills that will prepare you to fill roles
with companies seeking machine learning experts (or to introduce machine learning
techniques to their organizations). Machine learning is literally everywhere, and
is often at work even when we don’t realize it. Google Translate, Siri, and
Facebook News Feeds are just a few popular examples of machine learning’s
omnipresence. The ability to develop machines and systems that automatically
improve, puts machine learning at the absolute forefront of virtually any field
that relies on data.

Like Markov models, Recurrent Neural Networks are all about learning sequences -
but whereas Markov Models are limited by the Markov assumption, Recurrent Neural
Networks are not - and as a result, they are more expressive, and more powerful
than anything we’ve seen on tasks that we haven’t made progress on in decades.
In the first section of the course we are going to add the concept of time to our
neural networks.
I’ll introduce you to the Simple Recurrent Unit, also known as the Elman unit.
We are going to revisit the XOR problem, but we’re going to extend it so that it
becomes the parity problem - you’ll see that regular feedforward neural networks
will have trouble solving this problem but recurrent networks will work because the
key is to treat the input as a sequence.
In the next section of the book, we are going to revisit one of the most popular
applications of recurrent neural networks - language modeling.
One popular application of neural networks for language is word vectors or word
embeddings. The most common technique for this is called Word2Vec, but I’ll show
you how recurrent neural networks can also be used for creating word vectors.
In the section after, we’ll look at the very popular LSTM, or long short-term
memory unit, and the more modern and efficient GRU, or gated recurrent unit, which
has been proven to yield comparable performance.
We’ll apply these to some more practical problems, such as learning a language
model from Wikipedia data and visualizing the word embeddings we get as a result.
All of the materials required for this course can be downloaded and installed for
FREE. We will do most of our work in Numpy, Matplotlib, and Theano. I am always
available to answer your questions and help you along your data science journey.

From explosion blasts to motorcycle crashes, games are riddled with physical
reactions. Find out how to trigger these events, and how to take your character
movement beyond walk cycles.
For some visuals, take this random youtube video of GTA V motorcycle crashes. How
do you know when a character is supposed to react? And if you do know, how can you
make it look realistic? You can’t resort to some crouching position set up by an
animator, there’s a de facto infinite amounts of ways on how a character can get
impacted. Or this MK clip. Uppercutted someone and then set up a combo to slam them
back to the ground? Can’t do it without dynamics.
If you want to create games that people really love, you need to know game
dynamics. In this course you will learn game dynamics from a professional game
developer using the free and popular Unity 3D game development platform.
Game Dynamics (sometimes confused with Game Mechanics) has been difficult for the
game development world to describe using words. The best definition consists of
three parts in order to understand the whole idea of Game Dynamics:
Mechanics are the formal rules of the game. The agents, objects, elements and their
relationships in the game. They define the game as a rule-based system, specifying
what there is, how everything behaves, and how the player can interact with the
gameworld.
Dynamics are the emergent behavior that arises from gameplay, when the Mechanics
are put into use.
Aesthetics are the emotional response from the players to the gameplay.
More About the Course
This course aims to give you a solid overview of how Game Dynamics can be
integrated into any game you're creating, as well as how to use Unity 3D tools such
as the Mecanim Animation System to achieve a dynamic game environment.
You've probably heard about the benefits that functional programming can bring to
your applications, but did you know you can apply many of the same techniques in
C#? Did you know that you're probably already using some of them? In this course,
you'll learn how to use C# as a functional language by taking advantage of
immutability, delegation, generics, and extension methods. You'll even see how
these techniques can enhance the usefulness of several of the features introduced
in C# 6. Through careful application of these techniques you'll be writing more
concise, predictable code with fewer defects in no time.

Big Data, MapReduce, Hadoop, and Spark with Python: Master Big Data Analytics and

What’s the big deal with big data? It was recently reported in the Wall Street
Journal that the government is collecting so much data on its citizens that they
can’t even use it effectively.
A few “unicorns” have popped up in the past decade or so, promising to help solve
the big data problems that billion dollar corporations and the people running your
country can’t.
It goes without saying that programming with frameworks that can do big data
processing is a highly-coveted skill.
The more data the algorithm learns from, the smarter it can become. The problem is,
the amount of data we collect has outpaced gains in CPU performance. Therefore,
scalable methods for processing data are needed.
Later, the technology was adopted into an open-source framework called Hadoop, and
then Spark emerged as a new big data framework which addressed some problems with
MapReduce.
In this book we will cover all 3 - the fundamental MapReduce paradigm, how to
program with Hadoop, and how to program with Spark.
If Spark is a better version of MapReduce, why are we even talking about it?
Good question!
Corporations, being slow-moving entities, are often still using Hadoop due to
historical reasons. Just search for “big data” and “Hadoop” on LinkedIn and you
will see that there are a large number of high-salary openings for developers who
know how to use Hadoop.
In addition to giving you deeper insight into how big data processing works,
learning about the fundamentals of MapReduce and Hadoop first will help you really
appreciate how much easier Spark is to work with.
Any startup or technical engineering team will appreciate a solid background with
all of these technologies. Many will require you to know all of them, so that you
can help maintain and patch their existing systems, and build newer and more
efficient systems that improve the performance and robustness of the old systems.

This is a how-to guide on the approximation of data. There are many books and
articles on curve-fitting. This is intended as a supplement to, not a replacement
for, such texts. Most references are either esoteric or simplistic. I hope to
strike a balance between these two extremes and trust you will find this helpful.
Many examples are included and all of the source code is available on-line.
Learn best practices of software design to provide flexible and reusable software
solution
Subtitles are available for Introduction, Case Study and Design Patterns Concepts.
Design and architecture of any software/solution provides the base and makes it
flexible, extensible for future requirements. A good designed software/solution
makes it easy to understand and maintain. Design patterns are known as best
practices to design software for problems which are repeated in nature.
This course "Design Patterns Through C++" gives you understanding of all 23
patterns described in Gang Of Four book - "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable
Object-Oriented Software", by Gamma, Helm, Johnson and Vlissides.
Each pattern is explained in a simple way with intent, problem, solution and
structure. Also the information of participants, collaboration, consequences and
implementation are explained for each one. The pattern structure or example
implementation of C++ source are explained to understand how it will be implemented
in Object Oriented language C++.
The course also provides C++ source code of each pattern to understand it in better
way. This helps in applying the variation on implementation to see how it can
resolve some other implementation bottleneck. There are quizzes after Creational,
Structural and Behavioral patterns to check your understanding.
This course will help to understand the best practices for design and apply them to
do the better design of software/solution in C++.
It will be good to have the Gang Of Four book - "Design Patterns: Elements of
Reusable Object-Oriented Software", by Gamma, Helm, Johnson and Vlissides as a
reference book for this course.

Agda is an advanced programming language based on Type Theory. Agda's type system
is expressive enough to support full functional verification of programs, in two
styles. In external verification, we write pure functional programs and then write
proofs of properties about them. The proofs are separate external artifacts,
typically using structural induction. In internal verification, we specify
properties of programs through rich types for the programs themselves. This often
necessitates including proofs inside code, to show the type checker that the
specified properties hold. The power to prove properties of programs in these two
styles is a profound addition to the practice of programming, giving programmers
the power to guarantee the absence of bugs, and thus improve the quality of
software more than previously possible. Verified Functional Programming in Agda is
the first book to provide a systematic exposition of external and internal
verification in Agda, suitable for undergraduate students of Computer Science. No
familiarity with functional programming or computer-checked proofs is presupposed.
The book begins with an introduction to functional programming through familiar
examples like booleans, natural numbers, and lists, and techniques for external
verification. Internal verification is considered through the examples of vectors,
binary search trees, and Braun trees. More advanced material on type-level
computation, explicit reasoning about termination, and normalization by evaluation
is also included. The book also includes a medium-sized case study on Huffman
encoding and decoding. Exercises are provided at the end of each chapter.

understand what it's saying
These examples will help. Each is self-contained, has its source code attached, and
gets across a specific C++ use-case. Each example is simple, but not simplistic.
What's Included:
Templates are a classic generic programming technique that were revolutionary when
first added to C++. Understand template functions and classes, as well as template
specializations.
STL - the Standard Template Library - is incredibly powerful. Get a good sense of
collections, iterators and algorithms - the major components of the STL
C++ casts are quite different than C-casts. Understand const_cast, static_cast and
dynamic_cast, as well as Real Time Type Identification (RTTI), and the manner in
which explicit conversions can be performed using static_cast

Deep learning is making waves. At the time of this writing (March 2016), Google’s
AlghaGo program just beat 9-dan professional Go player Lee Sedol at the game of Go,
a Chinese board game.
Experts in the field of Artificial Intelligence thought we were 10 years away from
achieving a victory against a top professional Go player, but progress seems to
have accelerated!
While deep learning is a complex subject, it is not any more difficult to learn
than any other machine learning algorithm. I wrote this book to introduce you to
the basics of neural networks. You will get along fine with undergraduate-level
math and programming skill.
All the materials in this book can be downloaded and installed for free. We will
use the Python programming language, along with the numerical computing library
Numpy. I will also show you in the later chapters how to build a deep network using
Theano and TensorFlow, which are libraries built specifically for deep learning and
can accelerate computation by taking advantage of the GPU.
On top of all this, deep learning is known for winning its fair share Kaggle
contests. These are machine learning contests that are open to anyone in the world
who are allowed to use any machine learning technique they want. Deep learning is
that powerful.
Many startups who are starting to see growth now want to quantify their data and
perform analyses that optimize sales, customers, and profit.
In recent news, Google’s deep learning machine has produced “dream images”. Their
machines are so much like the brain, they can produce dreams! In this course, we’re
going to cover a technology made by Google just for deep learning, called
TensorFlow. We are also going to look at a library that has been around for much
longer called Theano. I am going to show you how to build neural networks from
scratch using both of these very awesome tools.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to take the things you’ve learned, and
create very powerful machine learning models to do things like sports betting,
stock market prediction, and revenue optimization at your company.

This book describes the fundamental building-block of many new computer vision
systems: dense and robust correspondence estimation. Dense correspondence
estimation techniques are now successfully being used to solve a wide range of
computer vision problems, very different from the traditional applications such
techniques were originally developed to solve. This book introduces the techniques
used for establishing correspondences between challenging image pairs, the novel
features used to make these techniques robust, and the many problems dense
correspondences are now being used to solve. The book provides information to
anyone attempting to utilize dense correspondences in order to solve new or
existing computer vision problems. The editors describe how to solve many computer
vision problems by using dense correspondence estimation. Finally, it surveys
resources, code and data, necessary for expediting the development of effective
correspondence-based computer vision systems.

Known for its versatility, the free programming language R is widely used for
statistical computing and graphics, but is also a fully functional programming
language well suited to scientific programming. An Introduction to Scientific
Programming and Simulation Using R teaches the skills needed to perform scientific
programming while also introducing stochastic modelling. Stochastic modelling in
particular, and mathematical modelling in general, are intimately linked to
scientific programming because the numerical techniques of scientific programming
enable the practical application of mathematical models to real-world problems. In
the last section, stochastic modelling is introduced using extensive case studies
on epidemics, inventory management, and plant dispersal. A tried and tested
pedagogic approach is employed throughout, with numerous examples, exercises, and a
suite of practice projects. Unlike most guides to R, this volume is not about the
application of statistical techniques, but rather shows how to turn algorithms into
code. It is for those who want to make tools, not just use them.

This book is intended to help researchers overcome the entrance barrier to Proper
Generalized Decomposition (PGD), by providing a valuable tool to begin the
programming task. Detailed Matlab Codes are included for every chapter in the book,
in which the theory previously described is translated into practice. Examples
include parametric problems, non-linear model order reduction and real-time
simulation, among others. Proper Generalized Decomposition (PGD) is a method for
numerical simulation in many fields of applied science and engineering. As a
generalization of Proper Orthogonal Decomposition or Principal Component Analysis
to an arbitrary number of dimensions, PGD is able to provide the analyst with very
accurate solutions for problems defined in high dimensional spaces, parametric
problems and even real-time simulation.

Linux systems are everywhere today, even in companies once considered "pure
Windows." If you’re a sysadmin, network administrator, or developer in a small
Windows shop, you may have to jump in and fix a system problem when your site goes
down. What if you have no Linux knowledge? This short guide provides tips to help
you survive.
Linux systems may appear in your shop as virtual machines or in the cloud,
including web servers, databases, mobile device managers, version control, and
monitoring systems. When one of them falters, this primer leads you through some
diagnostic and recovery tasks so you can quickly get your site back up.
Connect to a Linux system with OpenSSH and PuTTY secure shells
List files and directories, and move around within the file system
Safely inspect the file contents without changing them
Narrow your search by using commands to locate specific files
Use the grep command to search for error messages inside a file
Determine real-time system state to find underlying problems
Examine disk utilization and zero in on space-hogging files
Transfer suspect files from Linux to Windows for later analysis
Use commands to start, stop, restart, or even kill unresponsive services
Know where to find help when troubleshooting isn’t enough

http://nitroflare.com/view/E4858530B08B71B/10.1007%40978-3-319-40341-0.pdf
This book presents the main concepts of linear algebra from the viewpoint of
applied scientists such as computer scientists and engineers, without compromising
on mathematical rigor. Based on the idea that computational scientists and
engineers need, in both research and professional life, an understanding of
theoretical concepts of mathematics in order to be able to propose research
advances and innovative solutions, every concept is thoroughly introduced and is
accompanied by its informal interpretation. Furthermore, most of the theorems
included are first rigorously proved and then shown in practice by a numerical
example. When appropriate, topics are presented also by means of pseudocodes, thus
highlighting the computer implementation of algebraic theory.
It is structured to be accessible to everybody, from students of pure mathematics
who are approaching algebra for the first time to researchers and graduate students
in applied sciences who need a theoretical manual of algebra to successfully
perform their research. Most importantly, this book is designed to be ideal for
both theoretical and practical minds and to offer to both alternative and
complementary perspectives to study and understand linear algebra.

The basic operational design of a computer system is called its architecture. John
von Neumann, a pioneer in computer design, is credited with the architecture of
most computers in use today. A typical von Neumann system has three major
components: the central processing unit (CPU), or microprocessor; physical memory;
and input/output (I/O). In von Neumann architecture (VNA) machines, such as the
80x86 family, the CPU is where all the computations of any applications take place.
An application is simply a combination of machine instructions and data. To be
executed by the CPU, an application needs to reside in physical memory. Typically,
the application program is written using a mechanism called programming language.
To understand how any given programming language works, it is important to know how
it interacts with the operating system (OS), software that manages the underlying
hardware and that provides services to the application, as well as how the CPU
executes applications. In this chapter, you will learn the basic architecture of
the CPU (microcode, instruction set) and how it executes instructions, fetching
them from memory. You will then learn how memory works, how the OS manages the CPU
and memory, and how the OS offers a layer of abstraction to a programming language.
Finally, the sections on language evaluation will give you a high-level overview of
how C# and common language runtime (CLR) evolved and the reason they are needed.
This book has 25 quintessential problems supplemented by C++ solutions ideal for
technical interview preparations for a Software Developer position at tech titans
like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, Twitter, Amazon or many Silicon Valley
startups. To help you prepare for your next technical interviews, we have carefully
hand picked 25 quintessential coding problems (katas) that every Software Developer
must absolutely know how to solve.

This text provides a very simple, initial introduction to the complete scientific
computing pipeline: models, discretization, algorithms, programming, verification,
and visualization. The pedagogical strategy is to use one case study – an ordinary
differential equation describing exponential decay processes – to illustrate
fundamental concepts in mathematics and computer science. The book is easy to read
and only requires a command of one-variable calculus and some very basic knowledge
about computer programming. Contrary to similar texts on numerical methods and
programming, this text has a much stronger focus on implementation and teaches
testing and software engineering in particular.

Recently, Microsoft’s Twitter bot “Tay” was released into the wild, and quickly
began making racist and hateful statements after learning from other Twitter users.
The technology behind this? Natural language processing.
NLP is the use of machine learning algorithms for problems that involve text.
Do you ever wonder why you get much less spam in your inbox these days compared to
10 years ago? What kinds of algorithms are people using to do spam detection? How
can they take words in an email and know how to compute whether or not it’s spam?
In this book you are going to build your very own spam detector.
Did you know people have already used Twitter to determine the current sentiment
about a particular company to decide whether or not they should buy or sell stocks?
Having a machine that can decide how people feel about something is immensely
useful and immediately applicable to revenue optimization. In this course you are
going to build your own sentiment analyzer.
Are you an Internet marketer or are you interested in SEO? Have you ever wanted to
know how you can automatically generate content? In this course we are going to
take a first crack at building your own article spinner. You’ll learn to write
programs that can take an article as input and spit out a similar article with
different words as output. This can save you tons of time and thousands of dollars
if you’re paying someone to write content for you.
If you have Windows or iOS then you have NLP right in front of you! Cortana and
Siri are applications that take what you say and turn it into something meaningful
that can be done programmatically.
Before we do any real programming exercises we’ll look at common NLP tasks (some of
these we will actually code ourselves, the others are mentioned so you at least
know they exist). We will then look at common data pre-processing techniques used
for text. As you’ll see, this preprocessing is what will actually take up a
majority of your time when you’re doing NLP.
The first programming exercise we’ll do is look at how to build a spam detector.
Your email inbox uses this, so it’s clearly very useful and it’s been the subject
of study for a long time.
Next we’ll look at “sentiment analysis” and you’ll build your own “sentiment
analyzer”. This is how a computer can judge how positive or negative some text is
based on the words and phrases that are used. This is also immediately practical -
some people have analyzed Twitter feeds to predict whether a stock would go up or
down.
After that we’ll look at the NLTK library. This is a very popular library that
solves a lot of fundamental problems in NLP - and you can use it in conjunction
with other libraries in your data analysis pipeline.
Lastly, we’ll talk about one of the most popular applications of NLP - article
spinning. This is very practical for internet marketers and entrepreneurs. As you
know, your search rankings in Google and other search engines are affected
negatively when you have duplicate content - so it would be great if you could
alter an article you wrote just enough, so that you could put it in 2 different
places on the web, without being penalized by Google.

306 <--> Convolutional Neural Networks in Python
This is the 3rd part in my Data Science and Machine Learning series on Deep
Learning in Python. At this point, you already know a lot about neural networks and
deep learning, including not just the basics like backpropagation, but how to
improve it using modern techniques like momentum and adaptive learning rates.
You've already written deep neural networks in Theano and TensorFlow, and you know
how to run code using the GPU.
This book is all about how to use deep learning for computer vision using
convolutional neural networks. These are the state of the art when it comes to
image classification and they beat vanilla deep networks at tasks like MNIST.
In this course we are going to up the ante and look at the StreetView House Number
(SVHN) dataset - which uses larger color images at various angles - so things are
going to get tougher both computationally and in terms of the difficulty of the
classification task. But we will show that convolutional neural networks, or CNNs,
are capable of handling the challenge!
Because convolution is such a central part of this type of neural network, we are
going to go in-depth on this topic. It has more applications than you might
imagine, such as modeling artificial organs like the pancreas and the heart. I'm
going to show you how to build convolutional filters that can be applied to audio,
like the echo effect, and I'm going to show you how to build filters for image
effects, like the Gaussian blur and edge detection.
Think about the large amounts of data being collected today, by the likes of the
NSA, Google, and other organizations. No human could possibly sift through all that
data manually. It was reported recently in the Washington Post and Wall Street
Journal that the National Security Agency collects so much surveillance data, it is
no longer effective.
Do you ever wonder how we get the data that we use in our supervised machine
learning algorithms?
Kaggle always seems to provide us with a nice CSV, complete with Xs and
corresponding Ys.
If you haven’t been involved in acquiring data yourself, you might not have thought
about this, but someone has to make this data!
A lot of the time this involves manual labor. Sometimes, you don’t have access to
the correct information or it is infeasible or costly to acquire.
You still want to have some idea of the structure of the data.
In this book we are first going to talk about clustering. This is where instead of
training on labels, we try to create our own labels. We’ll do this by grouping
together data that looks alike.
The 2 methods of clustering we’ll talk about: k-means clustering and hierarchical
clustering.
One interesting fact is that under certain conditions, Gaussian mixture models and
k-means clustering are exactly the same! We’ll prove how this is the case.
Lastly, we’ll look at the theory behind principal components analysis or PCA. PCA
has many useful applications: visualization, dimensionality reduction, denoising,
and de-correlation. You will see how it allows us to take a different perspective
on latent variables, which first appear when we talk about k-means clustering and
GMMs.
All the algorithms we’ll talk about in this course are staples in machine learning
and data science, so if you want to know how to automatically find patterns in your
data with data mining and pattern extraction, without needing someone to put in
manual work to label that

visualization libraries, then this is the book for you. No prior charting or
graphics experience is needed.
A complete guide for Python programmers to master scientific computing using Python
APIs and tools
In Detail
In today's world, along with theoretical and experimental work, scientific
computing has become an important part of scientific disciplines. Numerical
calculations, simulations and computer modeling in this day and age form the vast
majority of both experimental and theoretical papers. In the scientific method,
replication and reproducibility are two important contributing factors. A complete
and concrete scientific result should be reproducible and replicable. Python is
suitable for scientific computing. A large community of users, plenty of help and
documentation, a large collection of scientific libraries and environments, great
performance, and good support makes Python a great choice for scientific computing.
At present Python is among the top choices for developing scientific workflow and
the book targets existing Python developers to master this domain using Python. The
main things to learn in the book are the concept of scientific workflow, managing
scientific workflow data and performing computation on this data using Python.
The book discusses NumPy, SciPy, SymPy, matplotlib, Pandas and IPython with several
example programs. Style and approach
This book follows a hands-on approach to explain the complex concepts related to
scientific computing. It details various APIs using appropriate examples.
In this short monograph Newton-like and other similar numerical methods with
applications to solving multivariate equations are developed, which involve Caputo
type fractional mixed partial derivatives and multivariate fractional Riemann-
Liouville integral operators. These are studied for the first time in the
literature. The chapters are self-contained and can be read independently. An
extensive list of references is given per chapter. The book’s results are expected
to find applications in many areas of applied mathematics, stochastics, computer
science and engineering. As such this short monograph is suitable for researchers,
graduate students, to be used in graduate classes and seminars of the above
subjects, also to be in all science and engineering libraries.

The Structured Query Language (or SQL) is how we both define and manipulate data
within a traditional Relational Database Management System (or RDBMS). In this
course, we are going to learn how to structure SQL statements that do just that.
Learn how to create databases, manage access, create tables, insert and update
data, create indexes and more. We will demonstrate SQL functions and talk about how
they differ from the more traditional SQL statements. All of this will be
accomplished at a SQL command line within MySQL, but will apply equally to SQL
compliant RDBMS systems in general.
430 <--> SQL Wall Street CHEAT SHEET, to get HIRED FAST! 2016
Don't waste hours learning SQL concepts you will never use. Pass most technical
interviews or get your money back!
I produced the highest rated SQL training video with over 301,000 views and 2800
likes. If you have any doubts, scroll down and read the comments on my SQL videos!
Just ranked in the top group of instructors!
This is an SQL course for job seeking beginners or people who are out of practice,
that is designed to guarantee that you pass most SQL tech interviews. This is NOT
for Database Administrators. This is for trading support applicants or business
folks who might need to use the database for research. If you are trying to learn
SQL, then my more advanced courses are awesome for that. This class is a very good
video cliff note. Nothing more.
I highly recommend this course for people looking for jobs with other (other than
SQL) priorities. For example a job that says "Required: FIX Protocol. Plus: SQL".
That is the ideal candidate for this course. I'll tell you exactly what the
interviewers will be looking for as far as SQL.
I have years working for companies like investment banks and FinTech venders, so I
know what software they have and what you need to know. This course gets you right
to the information you need faster than anything else. This frees up your time for
other pursuits and getting you to that 6 figure job fast!
Don't take MY word for it, take a look at what some of the 301,000 people who have
enjoyed my SQL videos have said:
"Didou Reznov2
the delivery and presentation is just genius , he got me hooked from sec 1"
"Flynn Davies
haha love the video man, the enthusiasm kept my ADHD infused brain entertained and
helped me learn this. thanks so much and keep em up!"
Dirovame1
FIXProtocol, you are a true hero. My Database professor has been spewing googlypoop
for the last 4 months and I aced my final from just watching this video.
"ricochet08
definitely the most entertaining sql video i've seen :D will be watching more of
your videos!"
"Al Johnson5
+FIXProtocol Very interesting, informative and passionate video about the subject
scary for many people. You like to teach, and you know stuff you're talking about!"
"Richard Cooper4
Great video love your enthusiasm! I am a sql developer who is looking to expand his
skill set. Keep it up I like it! :-)"
"TrollAndPlay1
"Thomas Rönnberg2
thanks heaps man. I'm on a race to learn SQL as quickly as and have been scouring
youtube for useful videos and yours have been of great help. again thanks a bunch"
"Siddy Kay1
I did a course on cyber-security this summer. You explain things well. i understand
things better now haha, even though I'm a CS major. Wished my professors were as
good in explaining as you lol"
So far, the only comprehensive documentation available about gnuplot is the online
reference documentation, which makes it both hard to get started and almost
impossible to get a complete overview over all of its features. If you've never
tried gnuplot "or have found it tough to get your arms around "read on.
Next the book looks at advanced concepts, such as multi-dimensional graphs and
false-color plots "powerful features for special purposes. The author also
describes advanced applications of gnuplot, such as how to script gnuplot so that
it can run unattended as a batch job, and how to call gnuplot from within a CGI
script to generate graphics for dynamic websites on demand.
Gnuplot in Action makes gnuplot easy for anyone who needs to do data analysis, but
doesn't have an education in analytical tools and methods. It's perfect for DBAs,
programmers, and performance engineers; business analysts and MBAs; and Six-Sigma
Black Belts, and process engineers.
What's Inside:
Very few C++ developers know the time and effort they could save with the algorithm
header of the Standard Library. This course unlocks that header by connecting tasks
you need to perform to the single line of code from the STL to do them.
If you're a C++ developer, save yourself valuable time and work by learning how to
use the algorithm header. In this course, Beautiful C++: STL Algorithms, you'll
learn the functions in the algorithm header. You'll find out how iterators multiply
the power of the library. Next, you'll learn the conventions that lower your mental
burden. Finally, you'll learn how to use the same algorithm with different
collections so you don't have to learn new functions. After this course, you'll
know what the algorithm header has to offer you and how to use it to your advantage
while developing.

Game developers can learn AI Programming using Finite State Machines in Unity using
a real time strategy project example. Complex behavior and decision-making is the
goal of any good game AI. There are many methods in approaching this, and one of
them is using a decision model called a Finite State Machine (FSM).
A state machine is a very useful model in which the possible conditions of an agent
are divided into “states”, which can have “transitions” into and out of each other
under defined conditions. This is a concept used in many automatic decision-making
implementations, including AI programming in games. In fact, Unity’s animation
controller uses the state machine concept to model animation behaviors.
Enemy characters are expected to be on the lookout for the player characters,
attack any within sight, pursue any who try to escape, and try to escape combat
themselves when their health is below a certain threshold. Within the tutorial an
introduction of the Unity project to be worked on is also included.
Prerequisites
Before starting this course, you should be familiar with C# programming in Unity
and the concept of 3D transforms as it is used in the engine. Although the concept
of the state machine itself is also introduced in the tutorial, it would also help
if you read up on it first.
Also, it should be noted that the game project in this tutorial is controlled using
the Unity Remote 4 app, so make sure you have it installed in your device.

Match 3 games are simple puzzle games where the player is asked to pair three or
more identical items on a tiled game board. Popular modern variations include Candy
Crush and Bejeweled. Unity is ideally suited to this kind of game design, and it's
a great entry point to more complex kinds of game development. This training course
is here to help you complete your own match 3 game.
Game developer Kelley Hecker covers topics like creating a grid-based game board,
using inheritance to create different types of game pieces, adding obstacles and
new levels, detecting matches and clearing pieces, and implementing a user
interface complete with a score screen. By the end of the course, members will have
a completed game and learned new techniques to apply to their next Unity project.
Deep Learning in Python Prerequisites: Master Data Science and Machine Learning

Do you find deep learning difficult? So you want to learn about deep learning and
neural networks, but you don’t have a clue what machine learning even is. This book
is for you.
Perhaps you’ve already tried to read some tutorials about deep learning, and were
just left scratching your head because you did not understand any of it. This book
is for you.
Believe the hype. Deep learning is making waves. At the time of this writing (March
2016), Google’s AlghaGo program just beat 9-dan professional Go player Lee Sedol at
the game of Go, a Chinese board game.
Experts in the field of Artificial Intelligence thought we were 10 years away from
achieving a victory against a top professional Go player, but progress seems to
have accelerated!
While deep learning is a complex subject, it is not any more difficult to learn
than any other machine learning algorithm. I wrote this book to introduce you to
the prerequisites of neural networks, so that learning about neural networks in the
future will seem like a natural extension of these topics. You will get along fine
with undergraduate-level math and programming skill.
All the materials in this book can be downloaded and installed for free. We will
use the Python programming language, along with the numerical computing library
Numpy.
Do you want a gentle introduction to this “dark art”, with practical code examples
that you can try right away and apply to your own data? Then this book is for you.
This book was designed to contain all the prerequisite information you need for my
next book, Deep Learning in Python: Master Data Science and Machine Learning with
Modern Neural Networks written in Python, Theano, and TensorFlow.
There are many techniques that you should be comfortable with before diving into
deep learning. For example, the “backpropagation” algorithm is just gradient
descent, which is the same technique that is used to solve logistic regression.
The error functions and output functions of a neural network are exactly the same
as those used in linear regression and logistic regression. The training process is
nearly identical. Thus, learning about linear regression and logistic regression
before you embark on your deep learning journey will make things much, much simpler
for you.
