An insightful investigation into the mechanisms underlying the predictive functions of neural networks—and their ability to chart a new path for AI. Prediction is a cognitive advantage like few others, inherently linked to our ability to survive and thrive. Our brains are awash in signals that embody prediction. Can we extend this capability more explicitly into synthetic neural networks to improve the function of AI and enhance its place in our world? Gradient Expectations is a bold effort by Keith L. Downing to map the origins and anatomy of natural and artificial neural networks to explore how, when designed as predictive modules, their components might serve as the basis for the simulated evolution of advanced neural network systems. Downing delves into the known neural architecture of the mammalian brain to illuminate the structure of predictive networks and determine more precisely how the ability to predict might have evolved from more primitive neural circuits. He then surveys past and present computational neural models that leverage predictive mechanisms with biological plausibility, identifying elements, such as gradients, that natural and artificial networks share. Behind well-founded predictions lie gradients, Downing finds, but of a different scope than those that belong to today’s Deep Learning.

Unlock the true power of collaboration within Scrum Teams with this practical guide packed with tips, tools, and real-life scenarios to elevate your facilitation skills. Scrum requires healthy collaboration, not just between the members of the Scrum Team, but also between the Scrum Team and its stakeholders to gather feedback and input. These stakeholders include users and customers of the product developed by the Scrum Team. Collaboration is the heart of thriving Scrum Teams, but most available resources on collaboration focus solely on meeting formats and neglect to show how Scrum Teams truly harmonize their efforts and make informed decisions effectively. We offer many facilitation techniques and ideas in this book. Keep in mind that we believe an empirical approach should apply to the techniques. Once you understand the purpose of the techniques, feel free to get creative and adapt them where you see fit to help you facilitate in a way that gets the most valuable outcomes for your context. This book bridges the gap by not only providing effective facilitation techniques but also delving into the how and why of facilitationall geared toward improving effectiveness, achieving impactful outcomes, and helping Scrum Teams work through challenges.

Artificial Intelligence and Data Science in Recommendation System: Current Trends, Technologies and Applications captures the state of the art in usage of artificial intelligence in different types of recommendation systems and predictive analysis. The book provides guidelines and case studies for application of artificial intelligence in recommendation from expert researchers and practitioners. A detailed analysis of the relevant theoretical and practical aspects, current trends and future directions is presented. A recommendation System is an intelligent computer-based system that serves as a guide and suggests, as per the preferences of the person. It uses state-of-the-art technologies like Big Data, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, etc., and benefits both the consumer and the merchant. Recommendation System is becoming very popular as it serves as a guide for the activity that a person or a group plans to perform in the best possible manner, given the constraints imposed by the user(s). Software tools and techniques provide advice on items to be used by a user.

Numerical Machine Learning is a simple textbook on machine learning that bridges the gap between mathematics theory and practice. The book uses numerical examples with small datasets and simple Python codes to provide a complete walkthrough of the underlying mathematical steps of seven commonly used machine learning algorithms and techniques, including linear regression, regularization, logistic regression, decision trees, gradient boosting, Support Vector Machine, and K-means Clustering. Through a step-by-step exploration of concrete numerical examples, the students (primarily undergraduate and graduate students studying machine learning) can develop a well-rounded understanding of these algorithms, gain an in-depth knowledge of how the mathematics relates to the implementation and performance of the algorithms, and be better equipped to apply them to practical problems. From our experiences of teaching Machine Learning using various textbooks, we have noticed that there tends to be a strong emphasis on abstract mathematics when discussing the theories of Machine Learning algorithms. On the other hand, in the application of Machine Learning, it usually straightaway goes to import offthe- shelf libraries such as scikit-learn, TensorFlow, Keras, and PyTorch.
