This book offers an integral view of human speech behavior, uniting biology, linguistics, math, and AI. It explores neural networks and microelectronics for speech recognition, text-to-speech synthesis, and dialogue systems. For a broad professional audience.
Urban Histories in Practice
What is the relationship between history, memory, and the contemporary city? This volume explores this question in contexts of rapid urbanization and urban decline. Using critical and creative methods, the authors frame urban history not as theory, but as a call for action.
The author studies dynamic processes in lithospheric plates, developing a mathematical apparatus based on Laplace and Fourier transforms. This collection of articles is for geophysics researchers and senior students, and is recommended reading for university geodynamics courses.
Water and Ions as the Conditions Necessary for the Presence of Life
This book explores the intricate interdependence between water and ions. Water is essential for life, but not always sufficient. It pursues an answer to this mystery, showing how metal ions like iron, calcium, and carbon complement water for sustaining life.
This book opens the door to understanding the principles of combustion calculations. It integrates combustion with the open-source software Cantera, serving as an invaluable primer. This hands-on guide offers step-by-step examples for students, engineers, and researchers.
This is the first book to form the big picture of all data analytics methods in spectroscopy. Its rigorous mathematical basis, in-depth descriptions, numerous examples, and reproducible calculations make it a valuable guide for practitioners, students, and lecturers.
This book explores how artificial intelligence (AI) interprets behavioral patterns and their influence on personality. It discusses AI’s uses, from controlling diseases to modern personality analysis, and its challenges. Perfect for data scientists, academics, and students.
This book explores tectonic affects in architecture, where building technology and aesthetics are not separated. Affects are preconscious feelings that can generate aesthetic value and meaning. The book adopts a practical position, concentrating on these tectonic affects.
Using real-world cases, this book illustrates how to handle volatile financial time series data. Learn to apply statistical, machine learning, and deep learning techniques with R and Python to build robust predictive models and construct profitable investment portfolios.
Astrobiology for a General Reader
This book explores astrobiology in a unique ‘Questions and Answers’ format. With over 250 questions answered in a conversation-like style, it is a comprehensive guide for general readers and students eager to delve into this fascinating field.
This book presents a complex approach to material composition determination using joint X-ray spectra of fluorescence, scattering, and diffraction. These methods widen the application of X-ray analysis for specialists in solid state physics and students.
Philosophical Semantics
This book offers an innovative systematic approach to meaning and reference, unifying insights from philosophers like Wittgenstein and Frege while exposing errors of formalists from Quine to Kripke. It shows how the cartography of philosophy of language can be redrawn.
Ending the War Between Humanity and Nature
Why are we so unwilling to address the climate crisis? Humanity and nature are at war. This book argues the root cause is not simply economics, but the time-honored stories we tell ourselves about humanity’s place in (or out of) the natural world.
The Art of Artificial Intelligence
This book explores artificial intelligence through the unique lens of art, showing how we can engage with AI without being subjugated by it. Each chapter begins with a work of art to guide the reader through philosophical keywords like “author,” “memory,” and “human.”
