3D Deep Learning is a rapidly evolving field that has the potential to transform various industries. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art in 3D Deep Learning, covering a wide range of research topics and applications. It collates the most recent research advances in 3D Deep Learning, including algorithms and applications, with a focus on efficient methods to tackle the key technical challenges in current 3D Deep Learning research and adoption, therefore making 3D Deep Learning more practical and feasible for real-world applications. For any AI-enabled agent to accomplish its task, visual understanding or perception is the first step towards interacting with the three-dimensional (3D) world. Due to its inherent limitations, visual understanding techniques based solely on two-dimensional (2D) images may be inadequate for real-world applications. This calls for 3D Deep Learning techniques that operate on 3D data, which enables a direct visual understanding of the 3D world. In recent years, 3D Deep Learning has been attracting increasing attention. As we live in a 3D world, 3D Deep Learning is a natural way to perceive and understand our environment, enabling emerging and new industrial applications, such as autonomous driving, robot perception, medical imaging, and scientific simulations, and many more. In the context of 3D Deep Learning, deep neural networks have been adapted and extended to work with 3D data, including point clouds, meshes, and volumetric data. This has led to significant progress in tasks, such as 3D object detection and segmentation, point cloud classification, and 3D reconstruction.

Biometrics are used in many situations of our daily lives, but we still don’t fully understand the way they work and what potential lies behind them. This book covers a fascinating and broad area that impacts everyone, not only companies involved in deep-tech. Over the past decades, biometrics have made their way into our daily lives after being first limited to science fiction and later expensive high-tech applications. With the widespread use of smartphones and other technological gadgets we interact with on a daily basis, the ability to collect and use biometric signals has become ubiquitous. Your phone scans your face to give you access. Your laptop uses your fingerprint. Your smart speaker recognizes your voices and answers questions based on which user asked them. These are just a few of the ways biometric data is used in our everyday lives. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the type of biometric signals that are being used, how they are implemented, and what their limitations are. With technology being more relevant in all aspects of life, it’s more important for people who make decisions in their business to understand the opportunities and limitations of biometric use. This book will guide the readerthrough the history of biometric technology, including initial applications of the technology, and reflect on how pop culture like science fiction media has influenced the way we look at biometrics and shaped our expectations and fears. It also covers real-world applications and how they work. This book provides foundational information that will help readers understand how they can use biometrics in their everyday life and assess their ability to disrupt existing business processes and models.

The book also introduces Microsoft Copilot, Google Bard, and Adobe Photoshop Generative Fill, among other new applications. ChatGPT reached a hundred million users in just two months after its release, faster than any other application before. This marked the advent of the generative AI era. Generative AI models generate text, images, music, videos, and even 3D models in ways previously thought impossible for machines. The book explains in an understandable manner how these AI models work. The book provides examples of how AI increases productivity, which professions are changing or disappearing, and how job markets will evolve in the coming years. With this book, you'll learn to recognize the opportunities and risks AI offers. Understand what this change demands from individuals and companies and what strategic skills are required. The book also covers legal questions caused by generative AI, like copyrights, data protection, and AI regulation. It also ponders societal impacts. AI produces content, thus influencing language, culture, and even worldviews. Therefore, it’s crucial to understand by whom and how AI is trained. The AI revolution started by ChatGPT is just the beginning. This handbook is for you if you want to keep up with the rapid development of AI. “The AI Revolution” is a practical guide to using new AI tools, such as ChatGPT. Generative AI models produce text, images, music, videos, and even 3D models in a way that was previously believed to be impossible for machines. GitHub Copilot, based on OpenAI’s generative AI model Codex, significantly improved programmers’ performance. According to the study, programmers who had access to Copilot completed tasks over 50% faster than those who did not use the tool. Less experienced programmers, older programmers, and those who program for several hours a day benefited the most from the tool.

In the age of the Internet of Things and social media platforms, huge amounts of digital data are generated by and collected from many sources, including sensors, mobile devices, wearable trackers and security cameras. These data, commonly referred to as Big Data, are challenging current storage, processing and analysis capabilities. New models, languages, systems and algorithms continue to be developed to effectively collect, store, analyze and learn from Big Data. Programming Big Data Applications introduces and discusses models, programming frameworks and algorithms to process and analyze large amounts of data. In particular, the book provides an in-depth description of the properties and mechanisms of the main programming paradigms for Big Data analysis, including MapReduce, workflow, BSP, message passing, and SQL-like. Through programming examples it also describes the most used frameworks for Big Data analysis like Hadoop, Spark, MPI, Hive and Storm. Each of the different systems is discussed and compared, highlighting their main features, their diffusion (both within their community of developers and among users), and their main advantages and disadvantages in implementing Big Data analysis applications. This book describes and reviews parallel and distributed paradigms, languages, and systems used today to analyze and learn from Big Data on scalable computers. In particular, the book provides a detailed description of the properties and mechanisms of the main parallel programming paradigms, and through programming examples, it illustrates the most widely used frameworks for Big Data analysis. The final goal of this volume is to help designers and developers in programming Big Data applications by identifying and selecting the best or most appropriate programming tool(s) based on their skills, hardware availability, application domains, and purposes, while also considering the support provided by the developer community.

Graph Algorithms the Fun Way offers a refreshing approach to complex concepts by blending humor, imaginative examples, and practical Python implementations to reveal the power and versatility of graph-based problem-solving in the real world. Through clear diagrams, engaging examples, and Python code, you’ll build a solid foundation for addressing graph problems in your own projects. This book is an introduction to graphs and their algorithms for programmers who want to understand and apply them. Graphs are a type of data structure used throughout mathematics, Computer Science, and numerous other fields to model and solve a wide range of real-world problems. The structure of a graph allows us to represent connections or associations between items. Understanding this structure is critical to harnessing the power of graphs and using them efficiently. This book is for programmers who want to learn more about graphs, graph algorithms, and the computational thinking behind such techniques. I assume no prior knowledge of graphs or graph algorithms. However, readers should have the kind of basic familiarity with Python that can be expected after an introductory course, book, or boot camp. They should be familiar with fundamental Python programming concepts, including basic data structures such as lists and dictionaries.
