It will further discuss Artificial Intelligence applications in depression, hypertension and diabetes management. The text also presents an Artificial Intelligence chatbot for depression, diabetes, and hypertension self-help. Many researchers have acknowledged Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Twins (DT) as crucial technologies for the upcoming decade. They can optimise and integrate modern technologies like analytics, Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT). AI could revolutionize healthcare by improving efficiency, accuracy, and patient outcomes. Some of the notable healthcare applications of AI and DT in the domains of diagnostic imaging, such as radiology and pathology, could help radiologists and pathologists understand X-rays, MRIs, and CT images. AI could improve picture analysis in these sectors by discovering complicated patterns and abnormalities that challenge human visual perception. AI analyses large databases to speed up drug discovery. This technique finds new medication candidates, predicts their efficacy, and optimises their chemical structures. Personalised medicine uses AI to analyse patient data, including genetic information, to create treatment plans that match an individual’s qualities. This optimises medicine selection and dosing. Artificial Intelligence–powered virtual health assistants may answer questions and book appointments. The subtypes of AI known as Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) are both capable of finding creative solutions to challenges. Although ML research in precision cardiovascular care has expanded recently, Deep Learning is more recent, more sophisticated, and has different advantages and limits than ML. ML is useful for prediction by examining mechanisms and their correla­tions with specified variables using different training datasets, which may include different varieties and important data, such as multi-omics, social media, wearable technology, and standardized electronic health records. Both supervised and unsupervised learning are used for machine ML.

Learn the latest features of C++23 with Modern C++ 23 QuickStart Pro, the perfect book for experienced developers who want to expand their knowledge and skills. This book takes a hands-on approach, providing rapid learning through real-world examples and scenarios that address complex programming challenges in C++. The book begins by demonstrating the power of variadic templates and how to use them for dynamic function signatures. After becoming familiar with fold expressions for argument handling, you will then explore std::tuple and std::variant for handling heterogeneous data. The book then covers advanced function morphing with parameter packs and shape-shifting lambdas, as well as dynamic programming techniques. It also teaches complex function overloading and high-level thread orchestration using futures, promises, and callables. Next, we'll go over some low-level IO operations, such as controlling IO streams, efficiently handling file descriptors, and directly manipulating files. You will then learn how to optimize memory management with shared, unique, and weak pointers, and how to engineer memory performance with custom allocators and cache-aware programming. You will learn advanced synchronization, including atomic operations, mutexes, locks, and thread pools, as well as lock-free data structures for peak performance. In addition, this book covers optimal integer and floating-point operations, arbitrary precision arithmetic, precise rounding with fixed-point arithmetic, and high-performance computation using math constant integration.

No-Code Data Science is a revolutionary book that democratizes the application of predictive analytics for organizations of all sizes. This first-of-its-kind textbook book is designed to empower readers with the ability to leverage advanced analytics, Machine Learning, and AI without using a programming language, such as Python or R. It’s a comprehensive guide to No-Code Data Science (NCDS) that applies free, no-code, and open-source software with Orange visual programming software, JASP, and BlueSky Statistics. A no-shortcuts approach to ML and AI is applied to maximize the accuracy and application potential of predictive models. The NCDS approach is akin to constructing predictive models with pre-made LEGO bricks (visual programming) versus tediously molding shapes from clay (manual coding). A practical how-to approach to predictive modeling is offered while insisting on the rigor of our disciplined NCDS process. Hands-on data exercises are included in the first eleven chapters. QR code links to educational videos are included in most chapters. Data Science background is first explored, discussing basic definitions and data scientist skill sets. This is followed by chapters on data preparation, wrangling, and data visualization. Predictive analytics is covered in chapters on Machine Learning models and model evaluation. Both supervised and unsupervised learning are included in the discourse. Time series forecasting, survival analysis, and geolocation are covered in separate chapters. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is featured in chapters on image analysis and text mining.

In recent years, non-linear optimization has had a crucial role in the development of modern techniques at the interface of Machine Learning and imaging. The present book is a collection of recent contributions in the field of optimization, either revisiting consolidated ideas to provide formal theoretical guarantees or providing comparative numerical studies for challenging inverse problems in imaging. The covered topics include non-smooth optimisation techniques for model-driven variational regularization, fixed-point continuation algorithms and their theoretical analysis for selection strategies of the regularization parameter for linear inverse problems in imaging, different perspectives on Support Vector Machines trained via Majorization-Minimization methods, generalization of Bayesian statistical frameworks to imaging problems, and creation of benchmark datasets for testing new methods and algorithms. In the past years, Support Vector Machines (SVMs) played a crucial role in the context of Machine Learning, for supervised classification and regression tasks. Even in the Deep Learning era, they can outperform other supervised methods and they are still a popular approach. The paper by A. Benfenati et al. investigates a novel approach by training SVMs via a squared hinge loss functional coupled with sparse-promoting regularization, adopting a Majorization-Minimization method. We perform numerical simulations to compare the performance of most commonly used Langevin Monte Carlo algorithms. The Langevin Monte Carlo (LMC) algorithm (possibly with Metropolis–Hastings adjustment), which is derived from the overdamped Langevin diffusion, has become a popular MCMC method for high-dimensional continuously differentiable distributions since it only requires access to a gradient oracle of the potential of the distribution, which can be computed easily using automatic differentiation softwares such as PyTorch, TensorFlow and JAX.

This unique comprehensive compendium provides extensive studies on reversible cellular automata (RCAs), exhibiting a wide range of interesting phenomena similar to the Game-of-Life, a well-known irreversible CA. The useful reference text also introduces innovative approaches to constructing universal computers in a reversible cellular space. Numerous figures are included to illustrate the evolution of RCA configurations, and to elucidate theoretical results on RCAs. Additionally, readers can observe evolution processes of various RCAs on the free CA simulator Golly using supplementary files. A cellular automaton (CA) is an abstract spatiotemporal model of dynamical systems. In this book, we use a 2-dimensional reversible cellular automaton (RCA) as a model of a reversible world. Although it is an artificial universe, it is useful for studying which kinds of phenomena emerge from a simple reversible law. Here, we use the framework of partitioned cellular automata (PCA), in which each cell is divided into several parts and changes its state depending on the neighboring cells’ parts. By this, we can design reversible CAs very easily. Readership: Researchers, professionals, academics, and graduate students in theoretical Computer Science, complex systems and computer engineering.
