Shine a spotlight into the Deep Learning "black box". This comprehensive and detailed guide reveals the mathematical and architectural concepts behind Deep Learning models, so you can customize, maintain, and explain them more effectively. Deep Learning can’t be learned by going through a small fragmented set of simplified recipes from which all math has been scrubbed out. This is a mathematical topic and mastery requires understanding the math along with the programming. What is needed is a resource which presents this topic with the requisite amount of math—no more and no less—with the connection between the Deep Learning and math explicitly spelled out. This is exactly what this book strives to provide with its dual presentation of the math and corresponding PyTorch code snippets. Readers need to know Python and the basics of algebra and calculus.

The management of a software project has been shown to be the number one factor in determining a software development project’s success. It has been found that most software projects fail because of poor management. Not surprisingly, most software development managers have not been trained in project management. Software Project Management: Methods and Techniques aims to remedy this situation in two ways: familiarizing software developers with the elements of the project management discipline and providing fact-based resources on practicing software project management. Much like the checklist pilots go through prior to a flight, this book provides a pre-project checklist which enables the software engineering team to review and evaluate an extensive set of technical and sociopolitical risks which will help the software project manager and the team determine the project team’s chances of success. This same list and the individual question responses can be used later as part of the project’s closeout process helping team members to improve their individual and collective abilities to assess risk. Intended for both students and software project managers, the book is organized along the lines of the five major functions of a software project manager: planning; scheduling and costing; controlling; staffing; and motivating. The basics of each of these functions are presented in a single chapter.

Stochastic Methods in Scientific Computing: From Foundations to Advanced Techniques introduces the reader to advanced concepts in stochastic modelling, rooted in an intuitive yet rigorous presentation of the underlying mathematical concepts. A particular emphasis is placed on illuminating the underpinning Mathematics, and yet have the practical applications in mind. The reader will find valuable insights into topics ranging from Social Sciences and Particle Physics to modern-day Computer Science with Machine Learning and AI in focus. The book also covers recent specialised techniques for notorious issues in the field of stochastic simulations, providing a valuable reference for advanced readers with an active interest in the field. Alongside the advances in computer hardware and the steady increase of available computer resources, computer simulations for advanced scientific computing have enjoyed an upsurge in interest. Practitioners and scientists realised that many applications have stochastic elements for a number of reasons: the lack of data is compensated by a stochastic model replacing those data; a deterministic description of a system is neither possible nor desirable. The Data Science revolution over the last decade has delivered many practical solutions using algoritms called Machine Learning (ML) or Artificial Intelligence (AI). It has triggered a proliferation of tools for everyday life with tremendous impacts, such as speech recognition, voice, image and video generation and medical and other expert systems to name just a few.

In PROC FCMP User-Defined Functions, readers are introduced to the SAS Function Compiler, which enables users to create user-defined functions and subroutines. These modular, callable software components complement the diverse array of SAS built-in functions and extend the SAS programming language, creating more building blocks for constructing future software! The book opens by introducing the role of functions in software design and explaining how functions improve software quality characteristics. It then moves on to basic PROC FCMP syntax, including how to define and call user-defined functions. Next, readers learn about the SAS array and hash object, the primary data structures leveraged by PROC FCMP, and how PROC FCMP can manipulate them behind the scenes. Finally, the Python Component Object is introduced, which facilitates the interoperability of SAS and Python. PROC FCMP runs Python functions natively inside a SAS wrapper, which allows open-source functions to be incorporated without needing to be rewritten in SAS. The Python language has become one of the most versatile, widely distributed programming languages in the world. Can I say that in a SAS book? Yes! Because the SAS Institute is not only aware of this success—they are capitalizing on it, as they continue their commitment to platform and software interoperability. The FCMP procedure helps facilitate the integration of Python and the SAS application through the Python Component Object, which enables Python functions to be executed inside user-defined SAS functions and subroutines.

Jack the Ripper and legacy codebases have more in common than you'd think. Inspired by forensic psychology methods, you can apply strategies to identify problems in your existing code, assess refactoring direction, and understand how your team influences the software architecture. With its unique blend of criminal psychology and code analysis, Your Code as a Crime Scene arms you with the techniques you need to take on any codebase, no matter what programming language you use. Software development might well be the most challenging task humanity ever attempted. As systems scale up, they also become increasingly complex, expensive to maintain, and difficult to reason about. We can always write more tests, try to refactor, and even fire up a debugger to understand complex coding constructs. That's a great starting point, but you can do so much better. To get the most out of this book, you’re probably a programmer, software architect, or technical leader. Perhaps you’re looking for effective ways to uncover the secrets of an existing codebase. It doesn’t matter what language you program in. Our case studies mix Java, Go, jаvascript, Python, C++, Clojure, C#, and several other languages. However, the big advantage of crime-scene techniques is that you don’t have to know any of these languages to follow along. All techniques are language-independent and will work no matter what technology you use.
