The book gives all interested in Computer Science, a deep review of relevant aspects of logic. In its scope are classical and non-classical logics. The content will be valid as well for those interested in linguistic, philosophy and many other areas of research both in humane and technical branches of science as logic permeates all genuine realms of science. The book contains a substantial part of classical results in logic like those by Godel, Tarski, Church and Rosser as well as later developments like many-valued logics, logics for knowledge engineering, first-order logics plus inductive definitions. The exposition is rigorous yet without unnecessary abstractionism, so it should be accessible to readers from many disciplines of science. Each chapter contains a problem section, and problems are borrowed from research publications which allows for passing additional information, and it allows readers to test their skills. Extensive bibliography of 270 positions directs readers to research works of importance. This book concentrates on the presentation of the basic domains of logic which have a great importance for the contemporary state of development of Computer Science (CS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This concerns, e.g., application of logic as a very important tool for expressing concepts on which different forms of reasoning can be performed, deep characterization of computational complexity of many different important problems in CS and AI as well as application of Boolean reasoning in different domains of CS and AI.

This unique, accessible textbook gives a comprehensive introduction to software architecture, using ‘clean architecture’ concepts with agile methods and model-driven development.
The work introduces the key concepts of software architectures and explains the importance of architectural design for the long-term usefulness and sustainability of software systems. In addition, it describes more than 30 architectural styles and patterns that can be used for constructing mobile applications, enterprise and web applications, machine-learning systems, and safety-critical systems. Software architecture has become recognised as a key factor in the maintainability and sustainability of software systems – poor quality architectures are likely to doom a system to becoming an expensive drain on business resources, costing more and more money to maintain over time as the system structure deteriorates and hinders evolution. In contrast, the choice of a good quality and appropriate architecture can ensure that a system retains its usefulness for many years and remains open to extension and enhancement. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to software architecture concepts and techniques, with a focus upon the ‘clean architecture’ principles, which have been shown to be effective for a wide range of software systems.

With the explosive growth in the amount of data and the diversity of computing applications, efficient algorithms are needed now more than ever. Programming languages come and go, but the core of programming--algorithms and data structures--remains the same. Absolute Beginner's Guide to Algorithms is a hands-on, easy-to-comprehend guide that is perfect for anyone who needs to understand algorithms. This is an introduction to algorithms that is friendly enough for both beginners and experienced programmers. Many programmers avoid learning data structures and algorithms because it's complicated and they think that they will not use it in their day-to-day life. However, they soon learn that algorithms are tools of developing programming-solving skill and coding sense, and that they would greatly benefit from the knowledge. All of the topics in this book include working jаvascript implementations and tangible code to be used as a reference.

Research into Deep Learning has come a long way across multiple domains, such as healthcare, marketing, banking, manufacturing, education, and so on. Notable applications within these domains are trending, like visual recognition, fraud detection, virtual assistance, NLP, etc. Deep Learning models are used to implement these applications. Those models include Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and others. To deploy these application-based Deep Learning models, Python programing is ideal, with its open source software libraries like Keras, Tensorflow, and soon. This book thoroughly explains Deep Learning models and how to use Python programming to implement them in applications such as NLP, face detection, face recognition, face analysis, and virtual assistance (chatbot, machine translation, etc.). This book provides hands-on guidance to using Python for implementing Deep Learning application models. It also identifies future research directions for Deep Learning.

The first practical guide for operationalizing responsible AI-from multi-level governance mechanisms to concrete design patterns and software engineering techniques. AI is solving real-world challenges and transforming industries, yet there are serious concerns about its ability to behave and make decisions in a responsible way. Operationalizing responsible AI is about providing concrete guides to a wide range of decision-makers and technologists on how to govern, design, and build responsible AI systems. These include governance mechanisms at the industry, organization and team level, software engineering best practices, architecture styles and design patterns, system-level techniques connecting code with data and model, and the trade-offs in decisions. Responsible AI includes a set of practices that technologists (e.g., technology-conversant decision-makers, software developers, and AI practitioners) can undertake to ensure that the developed AI systems are trustworthy throughout the entire lifecycle and trusted by those who use and rely on them. The book offers guidelines and best practices not just for the AI, which is typically a small part of a larger system, but also for the systems engineering process and organizational governance.

This book is an introduction to Causal Inference in Python, but it is not an introductory book in general. It’s introductory because I’ll focus on application, rather than rigorous proofs and theorems of causal inference; additionally, when forced to choose, I’ll opt for a simpler and intuitive explanation, rather than a complete and complex one. It is not introductory in general because I’ll assume some prior knowledge about Machine Learning (ML), statistics and programming in Python. It is not too advanced either, but I will be throwing in some terms that you should know beforehand. How many buyers will an additional dollar of online marketing bring in? Which customers will only buy when given a discount coupon? How do you establish an optimal pricing strategy? The best way to determine how the levers at our disposal affect the business metrics we want to drive is through causal inference. In this book, author Matheus Facure, senior data scientist at Nubank, explains the largely untapped potential of causal inference for estimating impacts and effects. Managers, data scientists, and business analysts will learn classical causal inference methods like randomized control trials (A/B tests), linear regression, propensity score, synthetic controls, and difference-in-differences. Each method is accompanied by an application in the industry to serve as a grounding example.
